THE KITTY IS 35!

I headed out to the Royal-T Cafe for brunch earlier today with my parents and was pleasantly surprised by the Hello Kitty exhibit! The Royal-T Cafe is already a very impressive location (skylights, open modern gallery, great restaurant + a PORTA-PARTY!). VAMPD Magazine and I were VERY lucky to have had an opportunity to have our launch gallery there (Remember? Click here to see images from the VAMPD Issue #2 Launch Party). Now imagine Hello Kitty threw up paintings, jackets, memorabilia, figurines & little red bows EVERYWHERE! It’s definitely a must see. To find out more information about this event, click here. Take a gander and some of the exhibitions we saw today:

LOS ANGELES FASHION WEEK

“In collaboration with The Cao Institute, A Paul Mitchell School, VAMPD’s own Beauty Director, Leibi Carias was KEY Makeup artist for Downtown LA’s Fashion week, hosted at the MOCA this year.

Working the show with Leibi Carias served as a huge reminder to why I’m in the industry to begin with.
