Christian Balenciaga(GeishaBoii)

I’ve been seeing alot of Christians work all over town.He is a celebrity makeup artist here in Atlanta and I was dying to try him out. We connected on twitter (both of our social network hangouts) and we set up a date for me to come by. First I would like to say he is very sweet.I loved his personality and we vibed right off the rip. When I got to his house, I noticed the house decor. I was so impressed by the artwork and decor of his home it was quite exciting to look at wow! He loves asian inspired artifacts, plus he goes by GeishaBoii anyway, I kinda knew what to expect.

I’m feeling pretty!

I was greeted by four fluffy furry animals! Im not a fan of animals but his doggies were gorg! I met Tahjz and Tyson. All his dogs were so cute and friendly. He had everything set up and we proceeded to “Beat me down” as he liked to call it. We chatted about people he liked to work with and some celeb faces he has done. I asked Christian who was some of his favs and what kinda of faces he likes to work with. He told me he loves to work on women with alot of facial features. Women with keen features he loves. Some of his clients include singer Monica,comedian/talk show host Monique and soo many more. He said its hardly any women in the industry that he has not beat lol.

I’m feeling this look,yes!

I was going to an event last night and he told me to come over to work his magic. As you can see when I’m not working I’m in sweat pants and t-shirts and hair pulled back.I’m very low key at home or out and about, just like Christian. He said alot of people take him the wrong way but he is just very quiet and subdued. I’m not as quiet as he is but I totally understand  him. He said he just wants to do great work in a field he loves. I can totally respect that and his art.

Ready to go tackle the red carpet lol

We talked and laughed and his mom even stopped by. She came by to make him some dressing, which he says is his favorite. He said I was pretty easy to do but some clients can take awhile to achieve a total look. I do know that Christian likes to also get into character when he goes out. I’ve snapped him a couple of times dressed up. I almost dont recognize him on the red carpets, he brings the drama…Pow! If  your looking for a makeup artist please check out some of Christians work. He is on facebook and twitter just look up www.twitter.com/geishaboii or Christian Balenciaga on facebook! Thanks Christian I love my look, you beat me down lol!

Councilman Kwanza Hall

I was invited out to a Kwanzaa celebration with councilman Kwanza Hall. I’ve never really celebrated Kwanzaa or knew too much about this holiday. Going to the event last night, taught me alot. The event was held at the beautiful Paris on Ponce and this place was filled with alot of artifacts and fun stuff.I had a smile on my face as soon as I entered the building! It reminded me of being on the set of Moulin Rouge! I loved the atmosphere and the place was a great location for Kwanza’s event!

I got a chance to chat with Kwanza and ask him what made him pick this location and he said that Paris on Ponce was in his district and it just felt right. I agree that it was a great spot! The food was awesome and we got to sample different foods from all cultures, great idea. This event was about diversity and bringing people together,he did a great job! The room was filled with all ethnic backgrounds.
