yay I got to play photo shoot!

(CLICK HERE to see the WHOLE PICTURE....)...I don't have have it yet...the eyelashes & FAN are my FAVORITO!!!
some days in life....you have more fun than normal...this was one of those days....(and we all know I could use a fun day! ha ha ha)
being creative and having fun..it felt more like play and fun than anything else....

I do a lot of make-up looks...and I wish I had someone to show, or go somewhere....or wish it was for a photo shoot....and I'm just making youtube videos...so I go and just wash all my hard work off....and start a new one....ha ha ha

I have a very dear friend, Ian Ruhter...who happens to be an incredibly talented photographer...and I always feel so honored when he photographs me! Ian works for huge globally famous companies...that pay him more than I ever could...so I feel so "fancy" whenever Ian wants to let me stand in front of his talented, picture-taking self.
Ian is amazing...and so are his photo projects....his work makes your heart feel the beauty in the image. And he has taken some of the most amazing photos with lil' ol me in em...you can scroll through his blog and see them...from the bubbles one to the balloons in NY...to the brooklyn bridge (one of my fav's...and not because I'm in it...ha ha ha)...I am honored to get to "creative play" with him....and I am honored to have him as a friend.
I wish I lived next door to him...so I could run over and we could play photo shoot everyday! He is so brilliant...and this was probably the most fun I've ever had, having my picture taken...he makes me laugh a lot...so there was a lot of kandee-laughing faces...ha ha ha


I wanted to do a modern-colorful-kandee-twist, with Marie Antoinette as my inspiration. (I filmed the look too...so I'll edit it as soon as I can)...to know me is to know I love color...and this shoot was very kandee-ful! (ha ha ha)

i even had to take the eyelashes off so we could go to lunch...ha ha ha....I'm brave with my looks...but....ha ha ha ha

you can see more upcoming posts at Ian's fanpage....I think he'll be posting the pics from the other look I did too on there...click here to join

It's my cake and candles day!!!!

( I am in this city...I heart LA)
I was just talking to my sister about our favorite birthday...and mine was a tie...

either my dress up party where we all had fancy dress-up clothes, sashes (like you get when you are in a pageant), and my mom made a cake that looked like a girl in a dress...her dress was the cake...and a little plastic "barbie" looking doll stuck up, out the top...

or my mom, who is creatively awesome, made me a Hawaiian Party, with colored grass skirts, she painted a monkey on a palm tree and cut the face out, so you'd stick your face there and look like a monkey on a tree...and we had lei's to wear....

(note: all of those were before I was 12! ha ha ha)

someday I want a surprise party......I will leave lists of all y friends names and numbers lying around...ha ha ha ha ha

I don't know what I will be doing yet for today...but I hope it is a fun day!

here's a little present for all of you...some eye "candy"....this photographer is one of my dear friends....who is brilliantly talented beyond belief...he is going to be one of the world's most amazing photographers.  What he envisions and creates is astounding....all of the pictures you're going to see are basically woven into themselves on film...not all photoshopped digitally....they are incredible works of art..and my fav is the one with the model and the LA skyline at night, sideways....i'd blow it up on my wall billboard size! 

enjoy the visual stimuli...it is a gift from me to your eyes.....happy day to you all!!!!
