Thanks to Lina Okazaki the fabulous makeup artist and thanks to Leonard Xu the photographer for doing what you do best!

Thanks to Nicole, Grace for being my good and bad model.

This was a funny idea I had 2 weeks ago.

I was talking to a different makeup artist and then I came up with this idea as I was browsing her portfolio. Anyways, I told her the idea and I started thinking of who could do the photography and how I wanted everything to be shot.

Turns out that other makeup artist flaked (hate flakers) but I had a photographer who was already down for the idea.. so I was like.. screw it.. I am going to get this project cranked out with or without her cuz I think it's a great concept for makeup artists who are usually on set or at a shoot at 6am and sometimes (hopefully seldom) they deal with cranky divas or actors/actresses who think they are too good for everyone. And the makeup artists are also there all the way till the end of the day when everyone is wrapped- they still have to stick around to help touch up or take off makeup.

Fortunately Lina who I had worked with on Clowns Vs. Ninjas, was totally cheerful and ready to help out after I told her the idea.

Now all I needed was the models. WHO would want to get a plain ol before shot taken and then a NASTY DISGUSTING looking AFTER picture taken?? I thought this would be hard to find -- a good looking person that could look nice enough in the before picture but would look messed up in the after picture due to the makeup not due to birth.

The first person I talked to online was Peachies. I said.. hey tell me if u think this idea is funny.. etc etc.. Grace liked it and as I started to ask "who would do such a random role?" she was like.. "I'll do it."  O.O  So that was that. I had my "bad/ugly model" and then finding a cute girl that would look even better with makeup was easy. I scrolled through my black book... just kidding.. I hit up my UCLA friend Nicole and BOOM she was in.

The rest as you just saw is history. Felt good to get a team/production going. Oh, also we shot it in my garage if you didn't notice.

I look forward to more fun shoots. Thanks again guys/girls!
