AGE: 20 years of experience at life


TOWN: Cut Off, or “Down the Bayou,” as we call it

FAMILY: Lots of them.

PROFESSION: Cosmetologist and special effects and beauty makeup artist (Check out my Instagram @lovely4life_mua) HOBBIES: Makeup artist, hairstylist, longboarding, cat observing, British comedy watching, singing and being a hotrod enthusiast and artist.


WHAT IS A TALENT YOU HAVE FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT: I’m a singer.

IF YOU HAD TO SPEND A YEAR ON A DESERTED ISLAND, WHAT ONE THING WOULD YOU TAKE ALONG: My boyfriend, Kane. He’s crazy, so I will never get bored.

YOU’RE A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY WINNER. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO: Buy myself all the makeup I want, a fully-restored 1967 Pontiac Firebird, a decent-sized house on a big piece of land and I would build myself a makeup studio.


WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL: My Grandpa, Hoop. His real name is Wayne St. Pierre Sr., but everyone calls him Hoop. He worked very hard to get where he is today, and he always stayed a very giving person. He is one of the funniest people I know. He taught me how to appreciate what I have and how to work hard and never give up.

IF YOU WERE A SUPERHERO, WHO WOULD YOU BE AND WHAT WOULD YOUR SUPER POWER BE: I would be Beauty Girl, and my power would be to make everyone as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.

TV SHOW GUILTY PLEASURE: “Threes Company!” We have it on DVD and we watch it all the time. It will always be one of my favorites!


PROUDEST MOMENT: Graduating from Beauty College with a license that gives me the foundation to follow my dream.

WHAT’S ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: The first two seasons of SNL, my makeup bag and an empty bottle of Jager.

HOW DO YOUR FRIENDS DESCRIBE YOU: Umm, I think you would have to ask them, but I’m pretty sure it’s along the lines of, ‘She is so loud, but she’s always real, honest, crazy and fun!’


DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM ADVENTURE: My dream adventure would be having the chance to work behind the scenes on a big movie set in the hair and makeup department! A movie with tons of special effects makeup of course! And if we could throw in a unicorn, that’d be pretty cool, too.

I WISH I COULD DO BETTER: FASHION. I dress myself somewhere between ’90s grunge, flower child, geek and gothic. My closet is all sunshine, flowers and black holes.

DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM JOB: To get to wake up every morning and do makeup all day long. I would never take a day off! I would never need to..


AS A CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?

I actually have wanted to be a beautician my whole life (excluding that brief time period every child has where they want to be a veterinarian).

WHAT WAS YOUR BEST GIFT EVER?


I would have to say that it’s every gift ever from my Nanna Amy. She dyed my hair for free my entire life, and if you know me, you know I always have a different hair color. She always used the excuse that it was a holiday, so I wouldn’t pay her.
