Old friend Fem, recently sent me a picture of a quick sketch she drew of me. How accurate is this!? She got my butt chin in there too.

New Body Art: Renee Mode x 2Minxinx
Today I got to shoot with Renee from ReneeMode.com. As soon as I woke up, the model was already at my door, eye boogers and all….me, not her! since Renee was running a bit l ate, I started painting right away, figured she’ll show up right when it was time to shoot. Boy, was I right.
Model Jordana was a quiet, sweetie and her sweetness shined unto these photographs.
Come back a little later for behind the scenes shots lovies. 🙂 
The Smalls Family: Based On The Lyrics Of The Notorious B.I.G (Biggie Smalls) [Skit]
Every now and then I bump into the best things online, and this time I was not disappointed. David Catalano has me cracking up with these mini episodes of “The Smalls Family” which is based on the lyrics of The Notorious B.I.G.
Not only is it creative to see Biggie’s lyrics used in real world situations, but I see his documentaries going far. I only wish his videos were being marketed more. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with. But let me stop rambling, and let me know if you guys like these as much as I did. Go subscribe to his YouTube channel and support something artistic.
I in no way own this brand, David’s videos or Biggie’s music.
Tribeca Film Festival: Mary Poppins & Musical Stylings of Cristina Gatti
I was sooooooo cold. I can’t even exaggerate my shivering. I wore some cute little ballet flats, and ended up suffering. I met up with David and friends, and Rosa ended up being my cuddle buddy, especially since she brought a quilt big enough for 2.
After the movie, we headed to a nice little spot that looked straight from the 30’s. Cristina Gatti, one of David’s friends was performing post modern juke box style. She reminds me of Amy Winehouse with her raspy voice and I couldn’t love it anymore! Check out the pics and vids from this night. I also included one of her other videos of her singing Beyonce’s Drunk in Love, which I personally think is waaay better. Check it out.
Later guys.

Ps. Check out the video David video-graphed: Love Lavache at Gallery Bar
It’s been a long time since I had a little fun. Meeting up with Misha I decided the perfect place was to head to Gallery Bar where Tanya (Love Lavache was) showcasing one of her painting in support of :
When we got there it was super early, and we had the chance to mingle with other artists. Misha couldn’t resist purchasing one of ChrisOriginals fitted caps.
I definitely liked the orange one the best. He was cool people so we basically kidnapped him for the night until the rest of our party got there. After all the performers, poets, rappers, singers did their thing, the small gallery turned into a lounge vibe and the dj started to play some cool 2003_2009 hits. Which got us all excited so we decided to dance, and dance we did.
Enjoy the pics of our night.
New Bodyart: Slim and Nasty
Working with Photographer David Zayas Jr. and model Slim was incredible. I was in the mood to work with some greens to bring in St. Patty’s Day as festive as I could think of. And what’s more festive than painting some skin? hahaha. Check out this sessions pics, Make a new friend and support their work by clicking on their name, and tell me, which one is your favorite???
Behind the Scenes: Slim and Nasty
Behind the Scenes footage of another successful collaboration with David Zayas Jr, and the coolest chickie Slim.
I’ll be posting the end results in a few. David did a great job editing, while Slim rocked it in front of the camera.
You guys already know I did the body art painting,
so let’s see these end results already!
On The Set : Toby Love’s music video Lejos
The driven Jorge and and Edgar asked Misha and I to be P.A.’s for an upcoming project.
and I was excited, how could I say no?
The talented Danny Hastings from Atomicus Films would be shooting, for all you spanish music lovers out there, bachatero Toby Love ‘s new music video, Lejos.
The first day we started to set up, I was up and ready to go by like 10 p,m Yes, we were working at night.
Once we got to the location, everything was covered in dust. We had so much work to do.
We needed to make a bar, work on the stage, remove many furniture that just doesnt fit, clean, paint, add lights, and so on.
So we got started.
After all the work we did, we still were not finished. Day two rolled around and we got started right away. Jorge started to paint his speak easy sign while I got a hold of the curtains that are on stage. I have to say, with the limited fabric I had, I think I did them enough justice. ♥
Day three, time to shoot.
I had to go to work, and couldn’t be there by 5am like everyone else. I got to work at 5 am and left by 9am.
I couldn’t miss this. I finally arrived by 10:30am ( long way to Brooklyn ) and everyone was already set up.
I was glad I didn’t miss much.
The wonderful Pia was doing wardrobe and I have to say she did great!
I’ve seen her strut her fashion senses when we were in High School together, in our fashion illustration classes together, and even in our annual fashion talent shows, but things like that are never really the same once you’re rushed and being put under pressure because of timing and one horrible person you have to deal with and answer to.
Yes, I went there. hahaha
Any way, to back to our behind the scenes posts, enough drama.
Toby Love was actually a very chill person.
You could tell he was loved by many , not just because of his twitter stats, but because he was very down to earth, cracking jokes and such kind of dude.
I cannot express enough how much I was glad he was just him and nothing to extravagant.
Hooray for celebrities that aren’t douche-bags!
Can you believe this awesome dress that the female lead Sally was wearing for the Flash back shot was Pia’s High school Prom dress!
It looked amazing on her.
Sally’s acting was on point, especially her face expressions.
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed a sneak peak into this video. I have been holding this post hostage until Gabriel was finished editing all the clips together, so you guys can have everything at once.
Everyone was absolutely fantastic to work with. I had such a great time and experience and I definitely hope it’s not the last.
So enough stalling, here’s the end result. Enjoy, and please don’t forget to visit all the links below that take it back to those who made it happen.
