Steven Lake as he appears at Nikon’s Look Good In Pictures with Carson Kressley:

Marta Walsh: When did your fascination for style begin?
Steven Lake: It began early. When I was a kid my mom worked as a Mary Kay director. I would carry her bags and go with her to women’s houses. I watched as she educated women on how to wear makeup to enhance their beauty and give them confidence. I also remember being in high school and the girls would show up in the fall with new hair do’s. Some completely reinvented themselves. I remember thinking “wow” how cool!

How To Get Khloe Kardashian’s Makeup Look From the PETA Campaign

From Troy  Jensen’s website I can tell that Troy also photographed and did makeup for Kim Kardashian, and Kourtney Karadshian aka the Kardashian sisters:)

How to get Khloe Kardashian’s Makeup Look by Troy Jensen:

My idea for Khloe’s look for the PETA campaign was to embody the inner wild child that she is, still being approachable, sexy, and beautiful. It was all about gorgeous sun-kissed skin and wild hair. To get the look, I called on two other professionals in my field. One, spray-tan Guru Jimmy Jimmy Coco, who bronzes up Hollywood’s top beauties – Victoria Beckham and the Pussycat Dolls, to name a few. I also called upon my long-time friend and colleague, celebrity hair-dresser, Frankie Payne, to create Khloe’s wild textured hair-style.

We also wanted to incorporate Khloe’s awareness for the environment by incorporating a touch of green (“Green is in”).

Marta Walsh Interviews Nadia Comaneci

Few months ago I had an amazing opportunity to interview the very famous Olympic Gold Medalist: Nadia Comaneci. I don’t want to sound too star struck, but Nadia Comaneci was a big deal back where I grew up, Israel that is. And I used to even mimic her Olympics moves with my friends, it was our inside joke.

Well, here it is, my interview with Nadia Comaneci which was published in Beauty Interviews August 2008 edition:

Nadia Comaneci is a winner of five Olympic gold medals, and the first gymnast to be awarded a perfect score of 10 in an Olympic gymnastic event. She is also one of the best-known gymnasts in the world. In this interview Nadia Comaneci talks to Marta Walsh about some of the most memorable moments in her career, how did she first got interested in Botox Cosmetic, what compelled her to team up with Mark Spitz to launch the Your Personal Best Campaign, what are some of the pressures that come with being a champion, and what inspires her the most.

Marta Walsh: As world famous gymnast you don’t need much introduction. What have been some of your most memorable moments of your career?
Nadia Comaneci: When I got my first 10. The score board showed 10.00 for the first time and everyone was so shocked, including myself.
