When we first propositioned the amazing Tisha Floratos, VP of Travel with OLIVIA Vacations, we knew this was a gig we wanted BAD!! We wanted it so bad for a few reasons and here they are in no particular order.... Reason #1 : Working with OLIVIA Travel & Vacations is reason enough. Reason #2: Doing make-up & body art on a cruise ship going to Belize, Cozumel, Guatemala & Key West. And Reason #3: Doing Leisha Hailey & Vicki Shaw's make-up.
We've seen Leisha Hailey on "CSI: Las Vegas", "Grey's Anatomy", and most popularly for the groundbreaking Showtime TV Series "The L Word" as "Alice". When we found out that we were going to be on the OLIVIA Halloween Caribbean Cruise, we freaked out because we knew what entertainers were going to be on board....like Leisha Hailey! So, we tried to do some kick-ass body art and make-up while on board, especially so the entertainers could represent our work. Well, one day on board, one of the OLIVIA directors approaches us and says " Hey ladies, we have some news for you....Leisha Hailey's manager wants to know if you'd be interested in doing Leisha's make-up before he hits the stage tonight for her interview...". We're like "UMMMM YEAAAA!!!" She was seriously the coolest , most down-to-earth chick, and 100% real. So glad that we got that opportunity to be her artists for the day. Leisha.....call us ! LOL .
Vicki Shaw, the other hot mama-blonde in the picture, is probably one of the funniest stand-up comedians today. With her southern belle accent and signature red-lip, we knew we had to coax her into letting us do her make-up too. She actually came up to our booth during our "Meet-n-Greet" and said (with her southern accent) "I heard that ya'll are the make-up ladies, is this true?" We gave her our room number, she showed up & we did her make-up ! SCORE ! We also did her make-up for her hilarious stand-up show on board as well as formal night. Vicki, you're hilarious!
It was an amazing opportunity and cannot wait for the next!
