I’m super excited to share with you my interview with Sports Illustrated Swim and Victoria’s Secret model, Jessica Pérez. Jessica is one of eight young models competing in the international Sports Illustrated 2011 Model Search and has been in the lead with more than double the votes until today. The winner is guaranteed a spot in the 2012 swimsuit edition! Jessica is from Costa Rica, and has lived in Ecuador and Honduras, before moving to the US. Jessica comes across as a very smart young lady with an incredible sense of humor and passion for life. Add all these to her stunning looks makes a perfect receipt for a rising star.

Marta Walsh: Where do you call home?
Jessica Pérez: Hmm… that’s always a tough question for me because my parents live in Ecuador so that’s where the house that I call ‘home’ is, but I feel that Costa Rica as a country is my ‘home.’ I also feel New York is home since this is where I have my apartment.

“I have an obsession about beauty products,” said Walsh, who began TalkingMakeup.com after her husband suggested she start a blog because of the way she scoured the Internet for information on cosmetics. “I said, ‘What’s a blog?’ ” she recalled, laughing. But she figured out what to do pretty quickly, and she stuck with it. Her blog now attracts about 160,000 unique visitors a month, she said.

 

Privé Concept Vert Shampoo and Conditoner

The fist time I became aware of Privé hair care products was at the Elizabeth Arden salon reopening in Biltmore Phoenix AZ, they were on their product shelf. I finally got to try them this morning and I’m very impressed. I was worried it won’t be effective in cleaning my hair as I noticed this is the case in some ‘green’ hair products.

Paul Gooch Alice in Wonderland Hair Designer

Umberto Giannini’s artistic director Paul Gooch won a BAFTA for his work on Alice and Wonderland in the hair and make-up category. He has some great tips for achieving the red carpet looks and has worked with many celebrities over the past years.

Notes from Paul Gooch:

“As the hair designer on Alice in Wonderland it is my role to create the look for each and every actor. It is a collaborative process between the individual actors, the director and myself. I work closely with the costume designer since, what an actor is wearing influences how I will do their hair and makeup. On a film like ‘Alice’ period accuracy is important. The opening and closing sequences of the film being set in 1865.

G-Star RAW Magazine Q&A with Gemma Arterton

Here’s a sneak peek to G-Star RAW Magazine featuring Q&A with the lovely Gemma Arterton.

G-Star is fascinated by your authenticity – the fact that beneath the Hollywood glamour and gloss there is a tough, real person with a tough, real upbringing. You embody their values as an authentic denim brand that makes real work-wear and has, by a twist of fate, become a glamorous fashion label. Do you relate to that?

Of course! I think that’s one of the things that I love about G-Star. I feel like a tough girl in a fancy frock sometimes, and I think G-Star is the same. I like the contradiction between glamour and durability. Sometimes people are shocked when they meet me because of this contradiction. I’ve often been told that what I say doesn’t match the way I look… and I think that’s a good thing! Surprise is exciting.
