Signature Gathering 2008

Me with Angus Mitchell (the actual Paul Mitchells son) He owns the company with John Paul and he's also a stylist

Me with Stephanie Kochielski
Me and Pamela Parretti
Me and Takashi (all 3 of these people are platform artists on the advanced academy)

This is after classes when we were getting ready to go catch our plane. Me, Krista, Whitney, and Crissy. We all work in the salon and Crissy's our boss.

on the right: Here is me and John Paul Dejoria ( Owner of Paul Mitchell Systems, he's the one you always see with a ponytail.) and his wife Elouise. I was so excited to get a pic with them but I was sad it had to be at the 80's party where I looked ever so hideous with that hairdo!!!

Me, Whit and Krista in class

This is Donna the owner of The Hair Academy where I went to school. This is her 80's outfit!

This was a beautful waterfall in our hotel.

These are a couple pics of the show.

loved our room!

enjoying one of the many pools the hotel had

I had to get a pic of me by this poster at the airport cuz Crissy was teasing Broc that we were going to see this! HAHA


Crissy and me

Mel, Jenna, and me

All of us at Caesars Palace after some yummy Cheesecake factory.

Me and Krista in front of a fountain at the Venetian (best hotel ever!) Thanks Krista I had a blast with you!

I know these pics are not in any specific order but there were so many that I wanted to share because I had so much fun! I admit that after a whole days worth of running and trying to keep up with the schedule that I did get lazy in the evenings. I didn't even go see a show, bummer. But I still had fun! I met so many mentors of mine. I had already met a few from them being guest speakers at our school but it was fun to see them in a different light. This trip however I got to see John Paul Dejoria and them. So the second day we were there we thought we were just going to relax by the pool all day cuz we had flown down there early to relax before the actual show. Sunday we actually ended up seeing all of these famous artists and we were all in our pool clothes, no makeup, so that explains the pics where I am not looking at all professional, I was so embarrassed! But not as embarassed as 80's night when I got my pic taken with John Paul! Why did it have to be that night?? He had on his blues brothers outfit so he was wearing sunglasses and I looked like "Barbara Walters" (as Crissy would say). I'm still really glad I went and was able to have the opportunity to meet all these people and to attend their classes. I learned alot and I'm excited to use some of the things I learned in the salon. By the end I was really ready to be home with my kids. Now this weekend we are headed to Utah for Rachels wedding....Yeah Rachel!!
