Me and Maryan

My friend Maryan is a Pinktastic photographer and blogger, she recently interviewed me and did a photoshoot with me. We had soo much fun and I want to share the interview with you guys and the pictures. Please check out Maryan’s website at Dash Photography and her other site The LocalDash where you can see other interviews as well. Thanks so much Maryan, the pictures came out too cute!

The Local Dash Interview:

She interviews celebrities on the red carpet. She is friends with Lisa Wu of the Real Housewives of Atlanta (so don’t be surprised to see her make an appearance on one or two episodes). She adores Dita Von Teese. And this hardworking fashionista knows how to celebrate pink! She loves flirty, sexy and fun pieces like Betsy Johnson and she has mastered how to find key pieces from the most unexpected places like Goodwill and Vintage Stores and alter them in a way that dazzle. Introducing my girl….Tammie Reed of Talking with Tami!

“Tammie Girl”, what’s your signature style?

Hmm Maryan, I don’t know if I really have one lol. I love so many pretty things but I love the color pink and adding it to anything I wear. I love a poofy dress too. I have a very eclectic style of dress. Flirty, sexy and fun!

Biggest Splurge?

My biggest splurge is anything Betsey Johnson or Tarina Tarantino love their stores, omg too pinkalicious!

I loved Madonna’s style when I was growing up.

Currently which celebrity inspire your style?

Today Dita Von Teese’s style really inspires me….Va Va Voom!

What’s in your Ipod/or what song makes you want to get up and dance?

I’m really liking Black Eyed Peas new song, “Imma B” that makes me wanna boogy!

What motivates you?

TammieReed 300x199 My interview with The Local Dash

What motivates me is waking up and looking at my kids faces. They make me wanna do better, go out and tackle this crazy world. I don’t want them ever to need anything!
What makes you feel glamorous?

A nice hairdo,perfect makeup, sexy heels and a pretty pink dress and a lil sparkle makes me feel glamorous.

Something you own or outfit that you can’t part with? Why?

IMG 2204 300x199 My interview with The Local Dash

All of my Betsey Johnson dresses and shoes I will never part with! All 20 pairs of shoes are dear to my heart, pretty much all of my Betsey Johnson things, Dear Lord! I think because she is a lover of pink and we have similar taste, plus she is fun and energetic makes me love her so much!
What’s your biggest fashion secret?

One of my biggest fashion secrets is that I love to shop at Goodwill and vintage stores. Half of my wardrobe is from there and people always ask me where I get my unique pieces from. Yes, I love going to those stores! It’s therapy for me lol.

Me trying to be serious…not! lol

Today was a pinktastic day! I do notice that it’s all about photo shoots today but things just kinda happened that way, sorry. My friend and fellow blogger buddy Maryan, asked me if she could shoot me a few weeks back. With her hectic schedule and mine, we finally picked today to get the shoot done.

100 0660 300x225 Photoshoot with The Local Dash

Maryan and I met a few years ago. I emailed her because I saw her fun whimsical business cards and I loved her blog! We met up and we have been friends every since. She has a cute blog called, Teacake Martini and there, she features things around town and takes great shots at events.

Me slapping on the M.A.C. lol

Now Maryan has started a photography company called, My Dash Photography and it’s so cute. I am always game to take fun photos but warned her about my poofiness and weird since of style. I know most of her clients are very conservative lol. She said, “Tami Girl(that’s what she calls me), I know you going to bring it” lol. We met today up at Mall of Georgia and when she got out the car, she just smiled at me.

She said, Tami Girl, you are always full of surprises and fun! We chatted about my goodwill finds and my custom bustier which was designed by TK Designs. I have had the bustier for many years and my black tulle skirt was made by my seamstress Gloria Alterations. My hat was vintage from the Goodwill, it cost 1.50. I added the black poof ball in the front of the hat this morning, with a glue gun lol. My murano glass necklace was by Hilary London. My gold chain bracelets are by Maximal Art. My heels were black by Betsey Johnson. I did my face with my M.A.C. Cosmetics. I also styled my own hair. Easy breezy!
