My Today Show debut!
I’m not exaggerating when I say that today was one of the most exciting, nervewracking days of my life. My Today Show segment was finally shot (live!) this morning, where I discussed secrets for whipping stunning makeup together in five minutes. Since I have rosacea, I have a habit of turning beet red when hot, stressed or exercising (and this morning counted as all three, since my hotel elevator broke and I had to hoof it down fifteen flights of stairs in three inch heels immediately before leaving for my segment — thanks, Essex House!) I was worried that, on live TV, I’d stutter, trip, have my outfit rip in an unfortunate place….you know, the usual embarrassments…but luckily everything kept together and I had such a fun, thrilling time. And two hours after my segment, in another area of town, a stranger approached me and say, “Hey, I saw you on the Today Show this morning! You were great!” which, of course, made me grin to myself like a complete idiot for the next six blocks. For a clip of the segment, look here. (Were I more tech savvy, I might discover a way to embed it into my blog, but…alas. I do makeup, people. One thing at a time!) Thank you, thank you, thank you, by the way, to all my readers and friends for your support — Beauty Confidential shot to the top of the list on Amazon this morning and is now number 7 in Health and Beauty (directly after Victoria Beckham, Nina Garcia and Carmindy’s books)! Love you all!
