ATTENTION NY AREA MAKEUP ARTISTS!
Okay, so heres the story: A few days ago I had a really strange dream, I dreamt my sister was in some sort of accident and was in a coma. Myself and our younger sister went to her hospital room and put makeup on her, knowing she would never be caught dead in public with out it. In my dream this spurred a orginization run by me and my sister called "Makeup for E". We would do makeup for women that are ill and stuck in the hospital to remind them that they are still beautiful. Mind you, this was all a dream, but the more i thought about it, the more it sounds like a wonderful idea. So i was wondering if any MUAs would ever be interested in something like that, where a bunch of people would go to the hospital and work with maybe cancer patients or whatever and spend the day doing mini makeovers, cheering them up and showing them that no matter what they are still beautiful women... If I ever were to really get this off the ground it would be in the NY area. It wouldnt be for pay, just to brighten somebodys day whos having a rough life. Maybe if it catches on I could get some photographers to tag along and take pictures to the press, getting whoevers involved some exposure... So make up artists....Do you think this is something you could get behind? Nov 22 05 11:41 am Link Nobody? Not a single taker!? Nov 22 05 04:37 pm Link This would probably do better in Casting Calls. Let me know if you want it moved. Nov 23 05 07:45 pm Link We have organizations that do this in Toronto. We also go to women's shelters to do the makeovers! Nov 24 05 11:46 pm Link I've thought of doing that, and think it's a great idea. Don't know if they'd feel comfortable being photographed...? But definitely a cheering up. I also do airbrush makeup which has been used on people recovering from facial surgeries, but am not quite sure how to go about it... I'm all the way across the U.S. too. Have you done any research on it?

Maybe you should do in general to all the women who have had a crappy life, homeless women, battered wives, Single mothers, etc etc. You could make it a non-profit org! Interesting....

The really MAJOR hospital in my area is LONG ISLAND JEWISH. I figured it would be a good place to start, but before i tried putting things in motion i wanted to know if i would have a following...Oh, and josie, i was afraid to put this in casting calls because things get pushed off the front page SO fast there, but if you think it will do better, be my guest.
