LA MAKEUP TRIP - 2007

It was fun. I learned a ton about makeup and special FX makeup. It was cool to see Wicked. The music to that show is great. We talked with a guy that does makeup for celebrities like Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Jennifer Lopez and others. And he gave us a makeup demonstration. We stopped off at Santee Alley which is like a huge swap meet of cheap stuff. We went to an outdoor theater that showed us all the behind the scenes stuff. "Paintings in Motion." The hotel we stayed at was in Santa Monica. It was a little po-dunk and creepy, but cool. It seemed like it was haunted. I really liked the FX shops we went to. They had tons of great prosthetics. Too bad my eyesite wasn't that great. I just got PRK lasik surgery a week prior to the trip so my vision was a bit blurry.
