The Scoop on Style Network's 'Glam Fairy'

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:50:00 -0500

There's a sparkling brand-new glitter-infused show that's most definitely taking the Style Network by storm! "Glam Fairy" which stars Alexa Prisco owner of a thriving NYC/NJ metro-based wedding makeup and beauty business featuring her team of glamorous fairies has been received with rave reviews! The show takes place in a stylish loft space right outside the chic streets of Manhattan in Hoboken, NJ. As seen in the below advertisement, there are quite a few fashionable faces on the show which consists of Alexa and her Glam Squad who perform makeovers on different featured guests each week! The gorgeous, intelligent, talented and savvy cast have shown us that true talent always will shine through.

Let’s congratulate these fashion & beauty professionals for making their dreams a reality! With all of the negative news going on in the world right now, it's nice to know I can feel uplifted and also catch a few laughs as the cast of 'The Glam Fairy' makes over the world one lucky person at a time. Luckily, I had the opportunity to get the full scoop from the cast directly!

Alexa Prisco is the “Glam Fairy” herself. A very ambitious, strong, powerful businesswoman who created www.theglamfairy.com as a place where brides can receive the ultimate in beauty services for their wedding day. Alexa has worked her make-up magic on Playboy models, the hottest celebrity photo-shoots and most sizzling runways. It’s not simply a “makeover”– it is a creation, a true representation of the curves and natural elegance of each bare face she touches. Alexa has the confidence and power to make every woman out there look her ultimate “Glammy” best! Constantly encouraging and guiding her glam squad on 'Glam Fairy' Alexa is virtually a walking encyclopedia of make-up knowledge. Some of her favorite brands include MAC, Inglot and Christian Louboutin (of which Alexa owns a coveted red-sole collection).

Briella Calafiore is the “Hair Fairy.” When it comes to the latest hair-styles or the best in color — Briella is without doubt your woman! With her adorable, quirky and fun-loving personality it’s easy to see why everyone adores Briella. Don’t let her sexy exterior fool you – Briella is also very wise, into positive affirmations and likes to read some pretty deep books! Some of Briella's favorite brands are American Apparel, Charlotte Russe and she also likes the color red (she's known to rock the pin-up look, often). This blond bombshell is beauty and brains personified!! Briella’s mother is also one cool fashionista!

The stunning Jessica Romano has a burning passion for fashion, makeup and everything girlie. Often seen rocking glittering ‘headbands’ combined with a boho-chic look this Glam Fairy certainly has a sense of style all her own. She’ll make certain that you look your absolute best for your next big event. Want to make your “ex” drool with jealousy the next time he sees you? Then, have Jessica do your make-up. She believes in peace, love and pixie dust. Jessica loves to wear headbands in her hair by Dana-Bands and necklaces by Nikkay Fashions in her signature 'hot pink.' Jessica is one makeover-fairy that is always #glamming.

Alexa Hand – (otherwise known as “A2“) is Alexa Prisco’s “Glammy assistant.” Alexa is a bubbly, hysterical, glamorous girl who loves everything and anything that's shimmery and beautiful! Alexa always has her nails done up with the latest flirty look — usually consisting of sparkly designs. This fashionista even gets dressed up when she goes to Home Depot with her dad and believes that life is her runway!

Glam Fairy (n)- A name signifying one who has the capacity to transform a person by waving metaphorical wands thereby releasing a Glamazon.

The Style Network has ordered ten episodes of “Glam Fairy,” a spin-off of the network’s most-watched and highest-rated series, “Jerseylicious.” Produced by Endemol USA, the new makeover format show takes viewers inside the glittery, high-energy world of makeup artist extraordinaire and “Glam Fairy” herself, Alexa Prisco. After leaving the Gatsby Salon, Alexa establishes a new business headquarters – ‘The Glam Factory’ – to serve as home base where she can showcase her makeover magic and build up clientele. Each fashion and beauty-centered episode will follow Alexa, accompanied by her team of “fairies,” as she takes on new clients and uses her signature New Jersey style to transform women with hot new looks for all kinds of special occasions. The series will premiere this October on Style.

“I’m thrilled that the hit status of ‘Jerseylicious’ has spawned ‘Glam Fairy’ and launched Alexa from a pivotal character in the series to the star of her own makeover show. Her tremendous viewer popularity and extensive expertise make her a natural to continue to sprinkle her fairy dust over more deserving women with her own show,” said Salaam Coleman Smith, President, The Style Network.

“‘Glam Fairy’ is the first exciting spin-off of the growing ‘Jerseylicious’ brand,” said David Goldberg, Chairman of Endemol North America. “Our show’s loyal and growing fan base has obviously responded to Alexa’s talent and vibrant personality, and we couldn’t be happier to extend our partnership with Style for another successful series.”

Alexa Prisco is one of the top on-location airbrush makeup artist in New York and New Jersey, and her “fairies,” including her best friend and client liaison John, and “Jerseylicious” hairstylist Briella, have business booming despite having just opened their new headquarters, ‘The Glam Factory.’ Providing hair, makeup and even photo services to women looking to be glamorous is not an easy task and one Alexa can’t take on by herself so she decides to hire a young new assistant, also named Alexa, who is eager to follow in her glittery footsteps. Dubbed A2, the new assistant looks to be a promising addition to the ‘Glam Fairy’ team and shares Alexa’s vision in taking business to the next level, but will need to earn her position as a reputable fairy.

In the new series, Alexa and her team’s transformations will include a Weight Watchers group who have reached their goal weight and want to celebrate with “after” photos; a group of military wives looking to spice themselves up with retro “pin-up” shots, and a woman who wants to celebrate being 40 and single with a makeover and grand entrance at her “Fab at 40″ birthday party. Each emotional episode culminates in a big reveal showcasing Alexa and her team’s astounding makeovers.

In addition to revealing Alexa’s life-changing makeovers, the series also explores her personal life, including Alexa’s attempt to get her body back in shape when the team signs up for a “glammy boot camp.” Alexa also begins to think about her future family life and explores a variety of options, including freezing her eggs. And in an effort to clear Glam Factory’s spiritual energy, Alexa directs her team to hire a real-life Ghostbusters company.

The premiere of the “Glam Fairy” special on January 30, 2011 drew nearly 250,000 total viewers, which exceeded the time period average by more than +70% thanks to a strong delivery among Women 18-34. The special has gone on to reach over three million total viewers to date. In the special, Alexa showcased her makeover magic on a group of “boring” sorority girls, turning them into total babes by making their beauty on the outside match what’s on the inside.

“Glam Fairy” is produced by Endemol USA for The Style Network. Three-time Emmy winner Alex Duda is the Executive Producer, joined by Style Executive Producers Sarah Weidman and Merah Chung.

Barneys New York Presents Gaga’s Workshop

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 17:50:00 -0500

Imagine Lady Gaga giving Santa’s workshop a little makeover. Well people, she did just that. Barneys New York presents Gaga’s Workshop, where traditional red and green have been replaced with glitz and glam and Gaga-licious colors, dolls have transformed into monsters, and chestnuts have become a thing of the past. Nowadays, kids are noshing on a $95 chocolate Gaga shoe that resembles those infamous Alexander McQueens. Yes, this may seem a little over-the-top and perhaps a bit excessive, but with 25% of sales going towards the anti-bullying Born This Way Foundation, it’s quite obvious who has been touched with the holiday spirit.

Lady Gaga cut the ribbon for the grand opening of this magical world on Monday, November 21st with celebrity onlookers such as Neil Patrick Harris and Blake Lively. The Diva sported a custom made Chanel tweed dress courtesy of Karl Lagerfeld himself. The voluminous hoop frock was trimmed in black and had small buttons going all the way down the dress. With her cake-like-attire, she accessorized with black gloves, layers of pearls, and a white quilted bag with Chanel’s signature camellias. Oh and how can we forget the matching headpiece to go with it! Even the over-sized-scissors she used to cut the ribbon were deemed Gaga appropriate.

Known for giving the public something to talk about, Gaga has truly surpassed expectations to create something that the whole family can enjoy. According to the New York Times, Gaga said, "It's the dream of what music and culture are all about, and those are things that can get lost when you focus too much on commercialism. This is, for me, a much more whimsical approach, a Pop Art approach." Barneys New York worked closely with Lady Gaga and creative director Nicola Formichetti to bring this magical vision to life.

The 5,500-square-foot-display has taken over the fifth floor of Barney’s flagship store on Madison Avenue and will be opened until January 2^nd. From apparel and accessories, to goodies and trinkets, you’ll find something for every little monster on your list this holiday season. Be sure to check out this unforgettable whimsical workshop! We guarantee this limited collection will surely make you go goo goo for Gaga! Check out gagasworkshop.com to take a closer look at the collection.

Josie by Natori: Sleep, Lounge, Live

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:30:00 -0500

Known for bringing her art to life with an East meets West aesthetic, Fashion designer Josie Natori is one of the few designers who has remained true to her vision as an artist. What started out as creating lingerie on her living room floor has significantly flourished over the past three decades into a major lifestyle brand, which now includes Josie Natori Ready-to-Wear, four lingerie collections, (Josie Natori, Natori, Josie, N Natori), home, bedding & towels, fragrance, and eye-wear.

The Josie by Natori loungewear and lingerie line launched about fifteen years ago, but it wasn’t until recently that this unique collection reached its peak to be recognized and appreciated in its very own spotlight. In order for the Josie collection to evolve into its own separate entity, Josie was given its own website. Shortly after, Natori felt it was necessary to give the collection a voice to help define Josie, so she turned to her daughter-in-law, Anika, for a fresh new perspective on the brand.

"My mother-in-law and I were talking about ways to bring the Josie collection to a broader audience, and she jokingly suggested that I should blog for the site. I actually thought it was a great idea, and sounded like a lot of fun. The Josie Girl blog launched a few weeks ago, and it covers everything from food to fashion to life as a young professional in New York City," said Anika Natori.

What better way to reach Josie fans than through a personalized blog? It’s easy for the big names in fashion to feel out of reach, especially for us younger fashion savvy individuals. However, Josie is anything but pretentious and may very well be the realest of them all. The Josie Girl blog helps to bring Josie fans together on the same level, while offering a unique insight into what the collection has to offer.

"I was thrilled when Anika said she'd blog for us--she's the perfect Josie Girl and epitomizes the brand beautifully. I know I'm biased, but because she's so interested in fashion, fitness, cooking-and also wrapped up in being a young working mother--I knew she'd be someone our Josie customers could look to for inspiration,” said Josie Natori.

Anika truly helps define Josie through her playful posts on food, fashion, and life in New York. Josie is about comfort, style, and relaxation. While the Josie Natori ready-to-wear collection targets an older, more sophisticated crowd, the Josie line suits a broad range of modern day fashionistas. What separates Josie from the other Natori collections is the way it speaks to customers. While the designs are simple, they bring together a brave combination of colors, patterns, and fabric, which make up this eclectic brand. This is what Josie is all about, bringing different things together in a harmonious and effortless fashion.

Josie Kabuki PJ Set

This ultra soft jersey meets sleek satin PJ set will surely be on everyone’s shopping list this Holiday season. Give the gift of comfort with the Josie Kabuki PJ set, but be sure to buy two, because we guarantee that you’ll never want to give these away.

The Josie Bardot ¾ Underwire Bra

Featured in Marie Claire, this unlined bustier style bra with graphic butterfly lace and scalloped lace edges is the definition of sexy. You will feel like a million bucks in this classic Hollywood style undergarment. Ditch that heavy-duty padded bra and replace it with the Josie Bardot ¾ Underwire Bra.

The Josie Keenie

This classic Josie bikini sits low on the hips so you don’t have to worry about any unwanted fabric peaking through. The solid front and sheer mesh back of this Josie Keenie make for an uber sexy look that will drive your significant other up the wall.

Be sure to follow the Josie Girl Blog on josieblog.com to feed your mind with food, fashion, and NY fun. Anika’s down-to-earth posts cover a variety of topics that will surely leave you wanting more.
