Lancome has her on speed-dial as one of their top make-up artists and video, how-to queens. She's got the scoop on LA's insider facialists...She's developing her own Serum AND Non-Profit Organization...
And she loves her dog.

Best Gift You Have Ever Given?
- I used an "Insider Contact" to get my friend, the amazing photographer, Steve Erle, an Exclusive Club Membership that he wanted but had a 3,000 person waiting list. The best thing about it was that for once I was able to give him something that he couldn't get for himself..which is tough to do for the person who has everything!
