Musings of a City Girl

Last week I was interviewed by Victoria Kirby from Makeup.com.  Click to view the post:  Behind the Vlog: 5 Questions for DRBrooklyn730′s Cindy Diaz.

So excited to be in the May 2010 issue of Seventeen. This is my favorite look so far!  The  shoot was around December/January and the makeup artist and hair stylist (although you can’t see much of the hair) did a fabulous job.  Head to your local newsstand and pick up the issue because without your support I would not be there.

So you may be wondering why I am including music in my blog.

There are 3 reasons:

1. In a fashion show its not just about the clothes, the shoes, the accessories, the makeup and the hair. There is also music. Its the soundtrack. Its the context. They all have to click.
2. YouTube won’t let me put music in my videos so I need some place to share my favorite jams.
3. Its my prerogative.

And speaking of my prerogative check out one of my favorite songs. I have to throw it down in the club when this comes on. Its a throwback (hint: its a song by a group sanz Bobby Brown). (more…)

So its time to clear up the mystery that still exists around my username.

The name can be broken down into 3 parts: (more…)

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my blog! Here we can keep the talk going about all things beauty and venture into other areas as well.
