Christmas dinner, God help me

My grandparents - "Gawk and Gup", or Chris and Irene

Me in my bathroom, shaving my head (I do it every morning)

My client Jocey - she lets me do almost nothing to her hair - no shampoo, no blow dry. I don't mind, so easy, so easy.

It's an ugly day outside

An 8 hour process that hurt like hell!! I wore them for 3 days and then pulled them all out. My stylist nearly killed me for that one!!..

The color bar in my salon, where we mix all our special potions and colors

Takara Belmont sends us an enormous chocolate bar as a congratulations for enduring the painful process of opening our new salon.

My best friend Donna's son (my godson), Dean Paulo. Notice the egg on his forehead. He is ALL BOY!!!

We did the hair for a private even held at the Diesel show for their spring collection in 07

This man has more money than God herself, yet he had this thing on his head that best resembles an SoS pad, dipped in bleach, flattened out and glued to his head. Absoultely atrocious!!!!

Mother and son- 2 incredible human beings.

After sitting for 8 hours of pain, I looked like a freak!

This was during my 8 hour process of getting dreadlocks. I kinda look like Diana Ross on crack.

Here I am showing a newly hired staff member a few things about a modern haircut.

I couldn't resist buying this wig. It was Elvis-fabulous!!

Me working and striking my famous "Gaylander" pose- Zoolander has nothing on me!!

My partner Geordie holding the new baby..where does the dog leave off and his black shirt begin?>/font>

This is a group shot me and my team-mates during our Master training in Stamford Ct.

Me and Geordie

Working on a model - doesn't she look like a barrel of fun?!?

This is where the planning all began. The nation's leading salon design center, Takara Belmont, where you can bring in your dreams and they make it into a reality (for a hefty price)

This is a picture of on of my best friends, Victor Camacho. We were boyfriends when we were in our very early 20s. We dated for a few months- that's pretty long when you're 20. He contracted HIV and died 12 years later. He serves as my constant inspiration.

So here I am, the one who didn't want dogs in the first place, stuck with the job of washing Zeus' butt- again..go figure
