For various reasons we had to make some changes in our vacation itinerary and did not get back until very late Sunday night instead of Saturday. I had a shoot for Oribe early Monday morning and no longer had a day to transition back into the world. I got up early, got some looks together and headed out into the heat. I arrived kind of hot and a little bit tired. I was also anxious because I had to do a Snapchat story and I hadn’t fully figured out how to use the app yet.
However it did not take long once I started interacting with a group of creatives, to get my mojo back and this shoot had the perfect mix of creative energy and no stress attitudes. My really helpful casting person taught me Snapchat in five minutes so I could relax and enjoy the experience. Everyone from the laid back and gracious Oribe team to the talented photographers, videographers and fellow “Grey Fox” of a director hit the perfect note of what I call “casual” professionalism. The make-up artist and stylist were fun to work with and I loved talking to them about their exciting and creative lives and got their feedback about what I am doing with Accidental Icon. I, and my hair, got to meet the incredible James Pecis, hair artist extraordinaire. How many artists in world can get you to channel Tilda Swinton like this?
I also had the pleasure of hanging with the fabulous YouTube arbiter of beauty and TODAY show stylemaker, Deepica Mutyala with whom I am shown above. Right from the start it was a mutual obsession society. I love this picture because it conveys an important message…attitude, creativity and reinvention have no age limits-on either end of the scale.
And are we the coolest or what?
The coolest incarnate! Leslie in Oregon
I think so too! Never felt more uplifted.
I want that hair-Works better than a facelift!

The power of attitude. Timeless. Woot!

I am so very blessed and grateful to have the opportunities I have been getting. My life is endlessly enriched.
It’s amazing what interacting with other creative people does for us! Especially young people who are so amazing and capable. I’m fortunate to have a photographer/assistant who inspires me and I always leave our meetings feeling energized and feeling that I can do anything!

Best one! Love the picture! A real statement over time! I do agree that the crew is most important people. They can make your day! Respect!
My day was made when I saw that hair!
Believe me I never thought I would be doing half of what I am doing now! You will get there.

The hair is epic – wish mine was long enough to make it stand up like that! I love collaborating with other creative people for photos but it is difficult to find any people where I live who are interesting in working on projects like this.
No kids at your college up to any interesting projects? Loved what you did with Melanie.
