News – Makeupandbeautyblog.com to interview Dita Von Teese, MAC Viva Glam Spokesperson, at Macy’s Passport 2007, San Francisco

September 15th, 2007 by Karen 25 Comments

So Karen what are you doing Wednesday night?
mac-dita-von-teese
Well, hmm, lets see, there’s the lovely vegetarian take out burrito that I plan to eat, and I have to charge my camera batteries, plus I gotta wax my ‘stache because I can’t be hairy when I’m interviewing MAC Viva Glam Spokes person Dita Von Teese.

WHAT?

Yes, yes, ya’ll… on Wednesday, September 19th www.makeupandbeautyblog.com will be heading to Macy’s Passport 2007 in San Francisco to rock you from American Express Evening and to interview Dita Von Teese, the queen of burlesque dancing and one of the faces of MAC’s Viva Glam line.

What’s Macy’s Passport?

Macy’s Passport is a charity fashion event, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

The fundraiser/fashion show’s raised $25 million in charity funds for HIV/AIDS organizations in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and brings together designers, celebrities and entertainers for three nights of fundraising, fashion and excitement.

Passport 2007 opens at Fort Mason Center on Tuesday, September 18th and Fashion Inform: HIV Prevention 101, a night just for Bay Area high school students, and continues with American Express Evening on Wednesday, September 19th and Gala Evening on Thursday, September 20th.

In addition to the fashion show, which includes designers like Calvin Klein, Mark Echo, Via Spiga, MAC and Levi’s), there will entertainment from Cirque du Soleil, celebrity choreographer Brian Friedman, the Spirit of Uganda, an award-winning African youth dance troop, and of course, the lovely miss Dita.

Should I ask Dita where I can buy a life-sized champagne glass to dance in? I’ve always wondered if that’s an item you have to special order.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    makeuplovesme, I know how you feel. Sometimes blogging feels like a job in itself…a job that goes on for 24 hours and 7 days a week! There certainly is no rest of the weary.

    Sometimes all I wanna do is watch the America’s Next Top Model marathon. 😉

    Hi Mej,

    Nice to see you again! Yes, I’ve heard that Dita has really fantastic skin in person. I won’t get all up on her and inspect her pores, but I hope to verify this fact.

    And thanks for your congrats. Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!!!!

    How has your weekend been so far?

    Ohh, I’m sure she’ll be nice! I’ve had such a great experience with all MAC-related people thus far, I can’t imagine anyone mean, that’s affiliated with MAC at a corporate level (see, I left room for the mean MAs!), lol.

    Hope your weekend is rockin’ thus far 🙂 I got all caught up in an ANTM marathon, and studying went right out the window!

    oh no you didn’t! Isn’t that the season when Jael gets thrown in the pool by 50 cent?!?! LOLOL!

    Promise me you won’t get thrown in the pool when you start going to big fancy fashion parties…

    Yep, it is! My boyfriend laughed when that part happened.

    I promise! No intentions of being THAT annoying 😉

    How many hours have you subjected your man to ANTM? Has he started referring to his walk as “fierce” yet? It typicall happens around hour six, and I’m so not joking!

    I think we went through (or I did) the entire marathon except the first episode or two episodes. We caught the tail end of the episode where Kathleen got eliminated for being dumb as rocks and kept watching. He retained manliness for a respectable time, but then he was like, “This is ridiculous, I kind of want to see what happens!”

    You’re lucky he didn’t start to psychologically break down each model’s psychosis. El Hub loves to do that, and then when I call him on it he freaks out: “YOU’RE MAKING A 35 YEAR OLD MAN WATCH THIS AGAINST HIS WILL! WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE?” lolol.

    You know my boyfriend has reached his tolerance point when we debate over the good and bad qualities of who would make a better match for Bret Michaels on Rock of Love. Seriously. BTW, I Love New York 2 on October 6!! I think it’s the sixth… anyway, quite soon!

    Reply
  19. Karen says

    September 17th, 2007 at 7:30 am

    Ha ha ha, we did the same thing with I LOVE NY! El Hub was convinced that NY made a terrible mistake when she let go of Chance’s brother (the one with the long hair.) I think she should’ve never picked Tango because even though Chance was nuts he would’ve been perfect for her.

    And I can’t believe you and Rock of Love, ha ha ha! But then again I remember Bret Michaels when “Poison” was popular, when he was 50 pounds lighter and considerably less disgusting. I hope he finds true love though. You never know on VH1!

    I love Dita, but I have to say that Brian Friedman looks unbelievably hot in that pic. Love him, too!

    Hey Toya!

    I recall from reading your blog that you’ve got a thing for guys with shaved heads 😉

    And, yes, I’d have to agree with you, Brian Friedman is hot! Cute guys that can dance, HELLO!

    Yes, I do. It’s a problem – a buff guy with a shaved head always makes me happy. Unless it’s Vin Diesel. I just don’t find him attractive.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
