Well, today I had a chat with someone super cool and amazing—Tamara Delbridge! 😎✨

Unfortunately, it was an online chat, as always with my interviews. Seems like I’m only certified to meet fabulous people through a screen! 😅📱

I dream of meeting these fabulous folks in person. Maybe one day, one of them will invite me to meet them in real life. A person can dream, right? 😉🤞🌟

Oh my, I just realized you might all want to meet them too. Imagine, I could make a field trip out of it for all of us! I’d have no doubt to foot the bill. 😲🚀💸

Did you believe that, my dear readers? Yeah, neither did I. 😅🚫

Now let’s dive into the fun stuff and learn more about this makeup artist, beauty expert, superhero. Picture this: if Wonder Woman and a fairy godmother had a baby—that’s Tamara! 💄✨🦸‍♀️

Tamara’s journey started back in the 70s and 80s in a loving home. Her mom, Cynthia, wasn’t your regular mom; she was like a magical beauty guru, revealing all the secrets of beauty. 😊💖👩‍🎓

Inspired by fabulous icons, Tamara got a masterclass in colors and skincare right at home. 🎨🏠💅

Still, Tamara didn’t start with fancy jobs. She did loads of things to make her dream come true. 😦💪🚀

All the more reason to stay tuned for more about my chat with Tamara and how she sprinkles her magic in the world of beauty and entertainment! 😉💄🌟

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I have worked my way up from the makeup counter to leading makeup departments on the silver screen. My work has been seen my millions of people over the course of the twenty years that I’ve been a professional makeup artist. 

Although I’ve succeeded high levels in the entertainment industry earning several Emmy considerations,I have continued to challenge myself and so in my late 40’s I continued my beauty education. I’ve earned a Skin Therapy Certification, two state licenses and several advanced esthetics certifications. I push my limits and constantly bet on myself.

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I would love to create my own skincare line. It is the sole reason as to why continue my skincare ingredients education. I am passionate about cosmetics.

However my first love is skincare and skin health.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy make-up?

When I buy makeup, I look for inclusivity and quality first and foremost.

Describe your personal make-up style?

I would say that my makeup style is subtle with a dash of sex appeal.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look?

I’ve been curating my personal style for 40 years. It is constantly evolving but is based

on my late mothers lessons on layering and high-low shopping. She was tasteful,

glamorous and she shared that with me. I still dress like her with a 2023 flair.

Do you have an influence on other people’s make-up or clothing style?

I have the ability to influence other people’s makeup and clothing styles because they trust me. I have the ability to step outside of myself to help them achieve the look that is best for their face shape, skin tone, and body type.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I’ve noticed that makeup has become more skin focused. I love that.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

I would love to see the panty and pants trend end It has had its moment.

What kind of beauty advice would you give us?

I would advise you to look in the mirror and speak words of love and confidence into that mirror.

Confidence is more beautiful than any product that you use on your face. Also, less is more, if you don’t have to cover your entire face with foundation don‘t do it.

Who is your style icon and why?

I was born the disco 70’s., so women like Donna Summer, Diana Ross and Chaka Khan are who draw my inspiration from.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

I think I’ve bared my soul. Ha! Thank you for taking time to get to know me.

Interview With Fashion Model Cassie Leigh

Hi there, my beautiful readers! Ever wonder what it’s like to strut your stuff as a fashion model? Or curious about what type of modeling jobs you can get when you’re not quite towering over everyone? 

Picture provided by Cassie Leigh

https://www.instagram.com/datcassdoeee

Well, hold on to your hats, because today we’re chatting with Cassie Leigh, a sassy redhead who’s not just a journalist and photographer but also a fab model! 🎩👒😎

Cassie always dreamed of being a fashion model, but there was one teeny-tiny problem. She wasn’t tall enough to ride the fashion rollercoaster. 😬🎢

The typical agency height requirement is 5'7" (1.70m) or above, and Cassie? Well, she’s a tad closer to the ground. 📏😕

That’s why she parked her dreams about all the modeling jobs, she could someday conquer, in the “maybe someday” lot. Still, here’s the kicker. Cassie didn’t let that stop her. 🚗💪

She strutted her stuff and rocked the runway, proving you don’t need to be a giant to be a model. 🚶‍♀️💃👠

Here’s a little secret only a few people know about me! As a young teen, I remember wanting to be a famous model too. 🤫👧

Still, I had a double whammy. I was about as tall as a garden gnome and as round as a donut! 😭🍄🍩

Nah, not that extreme, but talk about being dealt a tricky hand in the fashion game! 🃏😞

Then again, if Cassie can make it work, maybe there’s hope for us, vertically, challenged and, horizontally, gifted folks after all! 🤔🌟😄

Picture provided by Cassie Leigh

What is your name? How old are you?

Cassie Leigh, 28

Are you on Social Media? How many followers do you have?

Yes! @datcassdoeee, all platforms combined would be around 300k

Do you work Full-time or Part-time as a Fashion Model?

Freelance

What made you decide to become a Fashion Model? Tell me about your journey.

I always wanted to be a model, but because I wasn’t near the typical agency height requirement of 5’7” or above I didn’t pursue modeling until I found out that freelance commercial modeling jobs were an option. I got into modeling around 10 years ago and have been doing freelance since! 

How many hours do you spend modeling?

It varies on the project and the time of the year, and I took some time off from modeling this past winter; but I try to do at least 10-20 hours a month on modeling projects.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Yes! I think fashion is one of the ways to keep up with the latest trends and enhance our looks. 

Picture provided by Cassie Leigh

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

Growing my own social media following without the help of an agency I would say is one of my biggest successes. It took many years of unwavering perseverance but eventually it paid off! 

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I would love to be featured in more movies/television shows. I recently started doing extra work on sets, but would like to take on a more front facing role in the future. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you model clothing?

At this point in my career, unless I am getting paid by said brand I do not go out of my way to give them free promotion—so, no, I do not put a lot of weight on the brands. 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

Relaxed but stylish! I like to be comfy with whatever I am wearing, and I love wearing hoodies/sweaters, but I try to make sure that I still look put together when I leave the house even if I am trying to be comfortable. 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

Honestly, my signature look is my hair. I try to style my clothing around what matches having natural red hair—which means incorporating a lot of earthy tones and solid colors. 

Picture provided by Cassie Leigh

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I don’t try to tell people what they should wear, but I do like to encourage being comfortable in your own skin and complimenting what features you like about yourself with the clothing that you wear.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I really love that baggy pants are coming back into style. My guilty pleasure is wearing cargo pants! 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Sheer dresses/shirts, etc. 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

No matter how good an outfit looks, if it isn’t comfortable you won’t be able to wear it well. Try to stay away from itchy fabrics (like sequins) and clothes that are too tight.

Who is your style icon and why?

Megan Fox; she seems to be setting a unique alternative standard recently with her style choices. 

Picture provided by Cassie Leigh

Thanks a bunch, Cassie, for answering all my interview questions! I think it's amazing how you built such a huge social media following without help from an agency. I know how tough it is to grow an audience at all. 🙌😊

Check out this picture of me when I was about 9 or 10! Someone took it during a summer vacation at a holiday park. 📷🌞

They held a beauty contest there, and I ended up on 22nd spot. I was so angry I ran away, and didn’t come back until the next day. 😠

Na, of course not. I was too much miss goody two shoes to run away. I am the one on the left, and ended in third place. Ah, not that bad, hey. 😇😁🥉

I bet you didn’t expect that. I was so proud of myself, even though all I had to do was walk around with a number sign. 🤷‍♀️😎

My opinion about the vegan fiber long wavy ponytail

I am absolutely thrilled with my new hair extension. It looks just like human hair and feels incredibly nice and soft. 😍👌

I adore the vibrant color and the luscious curls, which make me feel like a hair model straight out of a shampoo commercial. 🌈💁‍♀️

The best part? It blends so seamlessly with my natural hair that I’ve convinced my friends it's all mine! 🙆‍♀️👯‍♀️

However, a word of caution: be careful with the Velcro strap. I learned this the hard way when I got the ponytail stuck in it. 😬😅

Yes, you guessed it right—I had a bit of a Velcro-vs-ponytail wrestling match. After some gentle tugging and a lot of laughter, I managed to disentangle it by pulling from left to right. 😄🤼‍♀️

Despite this little adventure, it’s super easy to use and adds a fabulous, voluminous look to my hairstyle. 💁‍♀️✨

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to transform their hair styling game with a touch of humor and a lot of style! 😄😎
