August 3, 2011David Bailey came to my office a couple of weeks ago to photograph me for an American fashion magazine. He is a very, very funny guy and we always laugh quite a lot together. He is also a brilliant photographer and has of course taken some of the most iconic images of some of the most interesting people that have lived in the past 40 years. I actually turned the camera on him earlier in the year and photographed him for British Vogue which was fun. His books are all in my library at the office and actually I have several copies of most of them. If you are not familiar with his work, look up his work. He was the inspiration behind the character of the photographer of the great film by Antonioni called “Blow-Up” which if you have not seen it is a must see. Antonioni is one of my favorite directors.

![I am finishing up the colors for my fall 2012 cosmetics collection this week. It is actually a great deal of fun as we sit in a studio and mix raw pigments until we get the right shades, try them on girls with different skin tones and then edit the collection into a color palette that I feel will be the right direction for fall 2012. From there the factories and our research department take our raw pigment blends and then turn them into real products which we will then test again and create the actual looks that will form the collection. My first collection for this fall [2011] arrives in stores in the US and Europe in October. I name all of the colors myself and someone just asked me what my two favorite names of colors that I had designed where. One is a great red lip color called “Lost Cherry” and the other is a dark nail polish called “Bitter Bitch”. Naming colors is always fun and great names can really help certain colors catch on...](http://media.whosay.com/56126/1/56126_mesq.jpg)
