I don’t want to write anymore. LOL! On my beauty blog ( Makeup to Go! ), I write full-on articles, but for this blog I really just want to highlight new work of note. Therefore, over the next few days I’ll be switching this blog over from WordPress to Tumblr! I’m hopeful that the URL will stay the same, but in case it doesn’t below is the link to the new blog. Join me there, won’t you? :)

The focus of BeautySchooled is, as the name implies, continued education and learning resources for professionals in the salon and media ends of the Beauty Biz. It’s a great blog. One of the main features of the blog are interviews with professionals in various aspects of the biz and she was so kind as to include me as one of her interviews! Check out the interview here:

Thanks for featuring me and for such a great blog!

TeenMag.com will continue as will TeenPROM but the monthly print magazine shall be no more.

Anyone who has visited my site knows that I’ve worked with Teen regularly over the last couple of years. They were the first magazine to give me a shot at doing beauty editorials, actually. Editor in Chief Jane Fort has been a great friend and mentor to me in the biz and I sincerely hope that I get to work with her again. She’s a hoot!

Viva Teen Magazine!

(on a related note, Domino Magazine is apparently gone as well. :( As a magazine lover, I hope publishing realizes that onine this or that is no substitute for a PRINT magazine! Save Print Magazines!)

Exciting News! I tracked down a Toyota webisode campaign for which I was one of a few artists… here’s one of the shots taken from the website:


– Makeup/Hair on two “outer” models, Hair Only on center model by Tania D. Russell/ Ford Artists

Now for the exciting part; I’ve come to find out that the stills that were shot on my day of the shoot were also used in a national print campaign!!

Makeup/Men’s Grooming by Tania Russell/ Ford Artists (hair ONLY on lead female)

Next up I’m headin’ back up to SF for some workage where the first job I’ll be doing up there is a cover for a high end catalogue client… :)

HOWEVER there was another issue lurking in the background that you haven’t known about and that is it was time for me to change my representation. I am greatly indebted to my first rep for being the one to take that first chance on me. I’ve learned a lot about the ‘biz and about myself.

With that, I am proud to announce that I am now represented by Ford Artists out of their San Francisco office. As many of you know, I work between SF and LA so this will allow me to more fully be of service to my clients in both cities. HOORAY!

In short, 2008 should be a Rockin’ year and I hope you’re all there to share it with me. Tell your friends too! It’s gonna be quite the hootenanny!

So what work have I been doing? Well, despite all the drama, quite a bit actually;

* I’ve shot editorials for Renew, Vision and Real Groove magazines.

* Mucho local commercials and corporate industrials.

* More delicious beauty editorials from Teen. Here’s the latest that was actually a story focusing on hair rather than makeup. Images © N. Horne; Hair was done by the outrageously talented Eric Sebbag of the Cloutier Agency;

Hello! And welcome to my Blog. I had a Blog before, but it was boring, I didn’t keep it updated, etc. Let’s hope I do a better job of keeping this going this time! :)

To begin, I’ll be posting a “Greatest Hits” of what all has happened in the last 12 or so months. Thanks for visiting and reading! :)
