LP's Jillian Gordon and me (Alyson Osterman) flaunt our new 'dos at Hairroin Salon. Talk about seeing stars! On Monday evening I, along with fellow LPer Jillian Gordon, were given the chance to attend the Sebastian Professional-hosted Burlesque premiere event. Can you say fabulous?!

This is SO not just another blog entry. Why, you ask? Because I am typing from my laptop in PARIS, here for Goldwell's annual Color Zoom Challenge! These past few days have been quite a whirlwind, but to quickly recap: Saturday: I arrived in Paris, just in time for Goldwell's North America Welcome Party, where I got to meet with company VIPs like Mario Argenti and star stylists including John Simpson and Dimitrios Tsioumas.

Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean and LP's Jillian Gordon and Alyson Osterman Last week, I--along with my colleague Jillian Gordon--were thrilled to be a part of Paul Mitchell the School's nationwide "Free Hugs" campaign in Sherman Oaks, California, where Future Professionals and educators (along with members of the Backstreet Boys! swoon...) spread the love by hugging passerby on a crowded street in Los Angeles. Watch the video!  

I’m not the type who can’t admit when I’m wrong: Many moons ago, I swore that I’d never have a wedding at the beach because of my hair, which has a tendency to frizz in humidity. Well, guess what? I’m getting married…by the beach.

Just wanted to wish a big congratulations to the Matrix Mannequin Mania semifinalists:

As if I don’t already feel like the minority living in SoCal, with my super-fair complexion and brunette strands! Now that summertime’s just around the corner, blondes are getting blonder, the Brazilian’s once again all-the-rage in relation to—ahem—skincare, and self-tanning ads are once again thrusting themselves upon me.

I've never dyed my hair, and truth be told, I'm never tempted; that is, until I see a photo of a gorgeous redhead.
