My thoughts on age since I get asked about it all the time!
" We are all ageless, age is a state of mind! We are all people, we feel, we love and we give! Does it matter the number of years to do that? There are never moments where I don't feel 5 or 19 or 30, it is all relative in truth. Pick a number & you can be that. If you don't feel the way you want to act, then act the way you want to feel!! by Alexis

Books
My Life- Clinton, Allias Grace, 2150AD, Your Best Life Now, Star Struck. I am not a big reader as you can tell. Doing make up for 20plus years does not help a reading habbit. You have to always pay attention on set, and to your client/celeb. Not be in a corner reading when you should be watching the monitor or standing next to the photographer on a foto shoot. It does not mix. I read alot on the internet to get caught up on things. News, events etc.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
Weekend "Get A Way" with a girlfriend and both get your Makeovers together!! Total crazy fun!

"The future belongs to those who believe in the Beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. Aristotle

What Is Your Seduction Style? SIREN
You possess an unbridled sensuality that appeals to many.
The minute you meet anyone, you can make them crave you almost immediately.
You give others the chance to lose control with you... spiraling into carnal bliss.
A dangerous lover, you both fascinate and scare those you attract.
How is this, I am also a Tomboy.
I won class clown and best Body in my Sr.High School year. Crazy ha? And longest hair too.
Oh yes I forgot to mention I was born a natural redhead, so look out ~LOL~ but now I add all kinds of reds for Bling*...Love them reds!!

Some Quotes
"You are the best make-up artist I have had in the whole world and I want you everyday of my life!" -Pamela Anderson
"Being a woman, I think it's fun to be able to enhance your looks, and for me, it just makes me feel better about myself...you haven't had your makeup done unless you've had it done by Alexis"- Paula Abdul
"See this face, Alexis. You did it! I Love you.- Nancy Sinatra
The "Svengali-like" makeup artist credited with giving Pam Anderson her trademark sex-kitten look. €” Harper's Bazaar
"The more I have gotten into the Alexis Vogel style make up, I have noticed how so many people are converting to her style. When I watch TV and read catalogs and magazines, I see her techniques EVERYWHERE! It's too bad that she doens't seem to get the credit for the make up"REVOLUTION"that she started! -Angie Lynne
I gotta say, as a makeup artist in the "industry" as well, you are the absolute STANDARD by which the rest of us try to follow in the beauty makeup. You are amazing and you inspire me.
-Vera
ALEXIS,
I love how you inspire women from all over, how you bring all the special quality's out of them. God is going to reward you BIG...real BIG. Your A diamond in his eyes for sure, and everyone else. Your more than important than you know, everyone looks up to you, even the little guys!!
Much Love & Respect,
Rosario
Hey U!

"Everyone has beauty. Sometimes they just don't know how to bring it out. Makeup can help you unleash those qualities." - Alexis Vogel
"Thanks for being you, for letting people know that they themselves are already as beautiful as they need to be... Thank you for showing inner beauty behind the face of outer beauty. You make this world better."
-Isaiah
You take it upon yourself to change that which you see around you. In doing so you not only change your surroundings, but you change what others see as well. In changing what surroundings into something and someone beautiful... you show others what you see in your heart. That's why I love you. Your heart is beautiful.
-Isaiah
To Alexis- "Of all the beautiful things you've written me, I think the most beautiful are the ones you have written with your actions and with your eyes. The things unspoken, but done or seen are so beautiful to me that words do not do them justice. You are too beautiful for words and even so, I spill them on empty pages just to fill the void that an empty page begs me to fill when I think of you. I will always love you. Know that deep in your heart. You truly are a gem. There are no words..."
-Isaiah
Xoxo Yours.
How did Alexis get her start? She studied makeup at the Joe Blasco Makeup Academy, in Hollywood, the best school in the world for makeup. She also attended UCLA to become an Emergency Medical Technician. By the time she graduated from the Academy, she was already a full-fledged working makeup artist, and the rest is history. She has been working ever since.
Alexis also does hair styling, which she has also been praised for. By having the skill and talent to do both, Alexis possesses the power to create and achieve an entire, unforgettable makeover on her clients. She says,"It is a wonderful and magical feeling when I finish, 100% of the time, for both me and the person I am working on."
People who've been lucky enough to have Alexis do their makeup have said she has the hands of an angel. She also has the hands and the eyes of an awesome artist. Harper's Bazaar magazine called her "The Svengali-like" makeup artist credited with giving Pam Anderson her trademark sex-kitten look.
The fashion and magazine world covets Alexis too. She's done makeup for hundreds of covers, including Rolling Stone and Cigar Aficionado. Faces she's made up make up an elite list which includes: Linda Evangelista, Sharon Stone, Jack Nicholson, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Claudia Schiffer, Rosie O'Donnell, Anna Nicole Smith, Nancy Sinatra, "Downtown" Julie Brown, Denzel Washington, Michael Richards...and the list goes on with over 200 celebs as clients, many would argue that she IS the best. Exotic beauties like Carmen Electra, Bo Derek, and Paula Abdul all rave, "There's no one like Alexis!"
"Maybe you'll never make the Grammy Awards. Maybe you'll never make a movie or a magazine cover. But you can still 'star' in your own life. The secret is bringing out your own natural beauty. Because when you do, you bring out more than just good looks. You bring out your own natural confidence, too. I've dedicated my career to giving clients 'star-quality' confidence."
- Alexis
Who I'd like to meet: I would have loved to do her! Meet her and know & Love Her!
Even she looks great with Red !! She is "So Hot"....Alexis
Well I have been very fortunate to meet & work with so many wonderful, infamous people. So I can't say Bill Clinton anymore or Howard Stern or Jack Nicolson. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I can't say Renee Zelweger or Angelica Houston.....Nancy Sinatra cause I have met them all, even the "Donald". It has been a wonderful experience that I would not change for the world!~ AV
I always really like to meet good people that are kind, genuine, super honest and down to earth. I like real people. The kind that would be a best friend and give you the shirt off their back!!
I hope you had a Happy 4th of July! Have a safe Holiday; it’s the most important one in America. Love of your country is important! We will turn our country around! As for the socialist and communist bastards, if they don’t like it, they can get the hell out and take Perez Hilton with them! God Bless America! -Bo

I did some work on one of my Chapter Masters namely of myself as a Ultramarines Chapter Master LOL!. I got 2 versions of yours truly as a Space Marine in my albums. I'm liking my NEW novel by my favourite author of my Ultramarines series. Its starting to get alittle more interesting LOL!. I thought I would celebrate with my friends who are celebrating Independence Day. I got myself some beer. I did some work last night on a Crusade Banner for my Ultramarines Chapter.
