Marta Walsh Meets Evelyn Lauder

During New York Fashion Week in September 2009 I had one in a lifetime opportunity to be invited to the Estée Lauder Companies offices in New York City. For a beauty lover such as myself it was a dream come true. I even met Evelyn Lauder and was completely mesmerized by her charm, beauty and elegance. Did you know that Evelyn established The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and formalized the pink ribbon as a symbol for breast cancer awareness. Her passion for the cause seemed contagious when hearing Evelyn talk about it that day. Fascinating. Here are some of the photos I took to give you a sneak peek to an office of a legendary cosmetics brand.

Erica Rose Interviews With Marta Walsh

I’m very excited to share with you my interview with Erica Rose. You might remember Erica as the “socialite” on ABC’s hit series THE BACHELOR: Rome. She was one of the top 6 women competing for Prince’s Lorenzo Borghese heart. I certainly can’t forget Erica and her love it or hate it personality. She stood out as a true reality star. Erica’s most recent project includes staring in a new VH1 reality series “You’re Cut Off” premiering next Wednesday, June 9th, 2010. I must say, this interview with Erica helped me to get to know her a little bit better. I’m quite impressed how grounded, smart, and witty, she comes across. If any of you out there dream on becoming a reality star you might want to read this interview and learn a thing or two from lovely Miss Rose.

Liv Tyler Interviews With G-Star RAW

Go behind the scenes with G-Star RAW as they interview Liv Tyler during the G-Star  RAW Spring/Summer 2010 campaign photo shoot in Paris.

G-Star: How did your career get started?
Liv Tyler: I was very young and it all happened very rapidly. I was fifteen or sixteen when I got my first part. At that time I lived in NY and I was already a model. I went on a few auditions and got my first part pretty quickly after that.

G-Star: Have you always wanted to work in the film industry?
LT: My mother used to tell me I was going to be an actress when I grew up, because I was always dressing up in her outfits and performing, singing and dancing around the house. I think I just wanted to be a punk rock singer. My mom used to have Iggy Pop records that I listened to all the time. I would take the top of her four poster bed and pretend it was a microphone. I probably wanted to be a singer more than anything, just like my mother who was in a punk rock band in the eighties. Somehow I became an actress.
