PAINT by Aram Bedrossian

Please enjoy the following behind-the-scenes video of GGB working it out.

So it's been a pretty HECTIC end of 2010 and beginning of 2011 so far and I'm sorry to everyone who has checked in for an update and hadn't seen one. See below some of what we've been up to:

Shooting Limited dot com in Columbus Ohio 2010

Above is Brian doing our stylist Kara's (www.karakaufman.com) makeup while it sat in a blowdry set I did (a technique I learned from French hairstylist Herve Bernard) which turns out sick. I'll do a post dedicated to that technique soon.

Behind the scenes of a shoot I did in December 2010 shot by Emmy Park (www.emmypark.com) the hair was MAJOR. Think what could Sabs do with 4 bags of hair?

MAKE IT HUGE. Shots are up on the new website.

As for 2011 GGB has been really trying to pull it together. Shooting often a HUGE redesign on website which will launch soon and some travel thrown in of course.

We started 2011 off with a MUCH-NEEDED vacation to Punta Cana, DR it was amazing!

All BLUE EVERYTHING!!!

When we returned we got right back to it. Brian did an amazing fashion story cover page to follow.

The story is up on the website which will launch soon.

Here's a behind the scenes look of one Brian and I did together with same photographer Aram Bedrossian.

He's our new favorite photographer.

More BIG news - my gorgeous client Irina Shayk got the cover of Sport's Illustrated 2011 with my custom made extensions!!! See her cover below.

Things are great for us but there is so much more to do and get done!!!! Stay Tuned!!!
