In phase three of beauty school, Pivot Point has students participate in a photo shoot--conceptualizing a "story," developing hair, make-up and wardrobe, and then executing the looks to be photographed for our portfolios.

I worked with Michelle, Melissa, Joanne, Mena and Kasia for our Burlesque-themed photo shoot--and we had so much fun! Once we came up with our concepts, we took a field trip to a local craft store for feathers, accessories, rhinestones and fabrics.

We all worked on each other, with Ms. Lisa's help of course.

Mena teased my hair huge, with a few twists, feathers and gems.

I did some flat-barrel pin-curls on Kasia, and gave Mena a big poof with black tulle.

Kasia's friend Diana came in to take our photographs.  She was awesome! A REAL professional. I was so impressed with her art direction--love it!
