Creative Voices Project - Tattoo artist Jon Mesa Launching March 4th.

One of the things I have been working on between design projects, is the creation of 
Creative Voices Project, spearheaded by photographer/videographer (also known as) my better half Nick Carter.  Please take a moment to look at the videos and be introduced to creative professionals in various fields of the arts such as - musicians, painters, models, craftspeople, photographers, designers and all around creative folk - with crazy swagger!

Below is the 'sizzle reel' video promotion for the launch.

Leading with the first interview of the project is tattoo artist Jon Mesa @jonmesa.  Jon is a New York guy to the bone!  Full of cool, funky hardcore swagger with the greatest laugh!  With tattoo's covering his muscular physique and an ear piercing the size of a nickel, he caught Nicks' eye.

He was so cool looking that Nick had to stop and ask him "if he would be interested in a photo session, with his bulldog Buddha".  Of course Jon said "yes!".  Little did he and Nick know that in just a few short years to follow, Jon would be one of the most sought after tattoo artist in the country, with a travel schedule rivaling that of a rock star.

Jon's interview will launch Creative Voices Project on Monday, March 4th.  With many, many more incredible interviews to follow!

We hope you take a moment to look at the website, Like Us on Facebook and be prepared to 'Be Inspired'!

Sarah Houston Couture - Spring 2013

It's that special time of year again.  You can almost mark your calendar for it.  The wedding dress rush! My wedding photographer husband Nick Carter Weddings phone is REALLY starting to ring.  With Christmas and New Years engagements, bridal binders once stashed secretively under beds - are basking in the glorious light of day.

First mission... finding the purrrrrfect wedding dress.  

Sarah Houston Couture is a Canada based couture bridal atelier with some of the most graceful and elegant dresses on the market.  If I weren't already blissfully wed, I certainly would be crossing the border bridal binder in hand.  Happy shopping Ladies and and CONGRATULATIONS!

A Day in the Life... Joy Moyler, Behind Hautezone

At least four, maybe five times a week I am asked exactly what an interior designer does.  Generally from people who don't watch HGTV, Bravo, LXTV or subscribe to various shelter magazines - online nor publications you actually can hold, and dog-ear the pages of.  More specifically, the question is - "what the heck is it you do in a day?".  In addition, many of my readers only know me as the 'face behind Hautezone'.  Not for the design work I do.

With that question, the following video came to life.  If you are also a reader of PinkEggshell, you may have seen it published there, on September 19th.  There are so many other aspects and details which could have been shown (or were edited out, like the heated vendor call for the delayed mirror).  Vendor visits, client meetings, shipping materials etc.  All of which would have created a three hour video, which would have been faaaaaaar too long for anyones viewing pleasure.   Especially mine!  Perhaps, we will show some of that on the next video.

Visiting the Ralph Lauren Home showroom, which I designed over five years ago is always fun.   My lunch spot was Todd English at the Plaza Hotel.  I go at least twice a week, as it offers some of everything and I love the decor.  And who doesn't want to have lunch at the Plaza?  It's proximity to Bergdorf Goodman, right across the street is a bonus, as you may note from a previous post 'Scatter my Ashes at Bergdorf Goodman'.  I always stop in to see what's new.

I wish I'd stopped at some point to freshen my makeup, but I totally got wrapped up in the work I was doing and forgot. It's funny when you look at yourself you see things you'd done differently.  Big THANKS to Nick Carter Weddings for filming and producing the video.

Anyway, I hope you like it!
