I Made it to the Grammy Awards 2011:)

I've been in America for almost seven years and all this time doing pretty the same thing: studying,learning and making things happen for my career. TV has always been my passion...but always with a touch of fashion. Broadcasting has always been my favorite thing in the world and I really can't see myself doing anything else.
That' why I am LA... for the wonderful Entertainment this city bring to our lives.

I wait anxiously every wear to watch the biggest Awards ceremonies...The Oscar, Sag Awards,MTV Awards, VMA's,Emmy's...

This year was a bit different, I had the chance to go the the Grammy's and here I am to tell you how amazing my experience was.

A simple invite by my good friend Mauricio Ribeiro just made my day: " Gi, got two tickets for us to go to the Grammy's",I'm like: " Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Are you serious??, he said: " Yesssssssssss".

Then that was it, I couldn't imagining the dress I was going to wear and who I would see there.

Results: The dress was the perfect outfit I could pick for the ocasion, the stars I saw were just all I wished for and the seats we had were pretty much impossible to believe.
It was a night to remember.I was happy, very happy to be able to see performances by: Lady Gaga, Usher, Barbra Streisand, Christina Aguilhera, Jenifer Hudson, Mick Jagger, Katy Petty, Justin Bieber, Muse, Eminem, Rihana, Cee Lo Green, Gwyneth Paltrwo, Bruno Mars, among others.

Ladies & Gentlemen party celebrating Barby 's B-Day Bash

Hot girls turned to be the hot guys and the guys turned to be the hot girls of the night... this is how my great and lovely friend Barbara Roch decided to celebrate her birthday this year.

The dress code was a SUCESS.We were taking pictures and dancing all night long.

I've got to confess that being a man is much more comfortable. ha ha ha.. So much easier to wear those comfy and baggy clothes.

Among great friends,great food, a lot of fun and laughter the birthday girl blew the candles and turned one year old.

Here is my message to you Barbara: You are my very good friend, you mean a lot to me.I'm happy I met you. Just like me you are from the Northeast.Congrats not just for your birthday but also for being this  girl full of energy, happy and caring...Ah, adding one more thing, SWEET!

Happy Birthday my dear Barby! 

The photos were taken by the master of the photography Daniel Ferreira, which by the way also painted the back drop of the party. Great Job Dani!!

Giselle Claudino TV Flashes While Vacationing in Brazil

Fest Verao Paraiba was the stage to welcome the biggest Brazilian bands in January. Giselle Claudino never wastes time wherever she is. While vacationing in Joao Pessoa- PB- Brazil,instead of only enjoying the good music & concert of Ivete Sangalo, Biquini Cavadao & Skank, she doubled the excitement by reporting live from & during the concert along with TV presenters Cezar Campelo & Marilia Lima. 
" I couldn't have had any more fun, reporting live is the best thing I can ever do & dancing at Ivete's live concert just brings up my energy to the point I forget everything else & let myself GO".Adds Giselle.

Michelli Buback's Debut as a Fashion Designer

                                                        
                                            A Night to Remember!!

For those who has been around Michelli Buback in her 3 years journey of fashion school knows how much love, dedication & time she put on every single drawing,stitch,cut...etc..during those years in class.I know for fact every single step of  it.She shared the experience with me along the way till her graduation.That's why today I'm also a student of Fashion Design at the same place as she graduated. LATTC, an amazing school.
As her very close friend, I know how much she likes what she does. "Passion is everything",she explains to me. Without passion you can actually go till the end of the course, but she reminds how important is to love what you do to be able to do a great job in the final projects & in the future too.With her well planned thoughts & most of her goals in mind set in the right path, she got to the TOP.Finished her course with many awards.One of them is the accomplishments of seeing her hard work looking amazing.
LATTC Gold Thimble,which is the Graduation Fashion Show, was one more time a big SUCCESS.This time Michelli Buback was one of the students graduating, not one the models on the show.
For the final projects, the school recognizes the students effort & give prizes to the best designs of each category.People from the industry come days before the fashion show & vote for their favorite garments.
Michelli got FIRST PLACE for the AFTER 5 category.Very beautiful black cocktail attire dressed by one of her close friends Caroline Correa.
She got FIRST PLACE for the RECYCLE category as well.Very creative dress made by a destroyed French coat & transformed to a completely new garment decorated with cute butterflies, dressed by model Rose Costa,Michelli's friend as well.
She got SECOND PLACE for the SPORT'S WEAR category. A Three pieces garment.A Casimir skirt, jacket, a soft fabric grey shirt to go inside the jacket & a touch of fur on the neck.That garment was modeled by me. I was honored to be part of her very first fashion show.
She also got THIRD PLACE for the THEME category.OMG,I'm suspect to say anything, but that dress was the most beautiful dress of the night. Classy layered skirt with beautiful corset, to complement the theme, a mask full of gorgeous flowers.
Her teachers,friends, classmates, husband & I, we all were so PROUD of her that even though after a week has past of her FASHION SHOW DEBUT, we are still congratulating her for her amazing final designs.
I've been observing & watching Michelli for the past 6 years of my life, almost the time I've been living in America. She is just genial as a friend & as a professional. Has a bit of a strong personality, but very kind friend, caring, helpful &  her graduation means a LOT TO ME.
Mi,this post on my blog is a way to say how much I love you & how proud of you I am. Now is your time to shine as a fashion designer & start designing some cool clothes for me..I have a lot of red carpet to attend :) It's your transition from the World's Catwalks to the Creative Design Universe.Congratilations amiga!
