MY First MKG Event !! :)

I think I am definitely going to have to agree with Julie on the Brainstorming sessions. They are by FAR my favorite! I tend to have these 'mini revelations' because of them. I remember talking during one of our brainstorms about an LED wall idea and someone mentioned the example of FAO Schwarz (I had no idea what that was) and then, last week, I was out with a friend and I saw this ceiling light display in a huge toy store and then I saw the name and realized what they were referring to!! I spend my weekends wandering around the city so I end up seeing many of the venues/places that I hear people referring to or that I have researched so it's cool to gradually have a mental picture so go with the names.
Second to the brainstorming session would be participation in the actual execution of an event. I experienced my first event with MKG last Monday at the MAC (Kabuki) Presentation, which I feel was a great starter for me since it wasn't too intense, as far as production goes, and it didn't ever get hectic or stressful. We got to watch actual makeup presentation, which was amazing! But after researching more of Kabuki's work since the event, it wasn't as intense as some of the intricate and intense looks he is known for designing.

Here are the looks he created at last weeks presentation...



Thanks Caroline & Ashley for pulling me on board last minute! It was an awesome time for me and I'm so excited for the chance for more hands-on work (hopefully in the near future)!
