Roxy ATHLETIX Tour – In the HEART of Texas

After soaking up Texas Tech, we packed up our Roxy bus and…headed for Austin, Texas.  Cedar and I bought our first cowgirl boots, danced with cowboys, and ate real Texas barbeque.   We splashed around in Barton Springs and Hamilton pool with our friends – and checked out the night scene on 6th street.  We certainly didn’t mind playing in Austin over the weekend!  A big thank you to the Austinonians that helped make this weekend’s adventures happen.

Next stop…University of Houston : )

The Athletix mannequins take another shower after a sweaty event at Texas Tech. (Aka. Supplies are shoved in every nook & cranny of the Roxy bus. We only have room to pack the mannequins in the shower! Luckily, they love to stay clean).

We’ve driven through many cute lil Texas towns on our drive through Texas – lots of old saloons to see…

Beauty Tips and Behind the Scenes in the Roxy Photo Studio

Roxy_swim_1

Today in the Roxy photo studio we had a holiday and spring photoshoot…

yes, you heard me right…

SPRING!

(we know, we know, it’s not even October yet…but in the fashion world you gotta work ahead!)

And I got to meet a newer face…Logan Stanton. She was modeling some swim wear and rashguards for the upcoming seasons.

getting-made-upLogan lives in Long Beach, CA and has been modeling for about year and a half. She loves going to the beach, longboarding, and body boarding. You’ll start seeing product shots of her up on roxy.com very soon!

So, how does one apply make-up for a swim shoot?

Good question!

To get Logan’s look, Roxy’s make-up artist Gia Harris recommended these five products:

  1. Benefit Hoola Bronzer
  2. Nars Orgasm Blush
  3. Covergirl Outlast Lipstain
  4. DuWop Revolotion Tinted Body Moisturizer
  5. Mac Teddy Eye Coal

In the above picture, Gia applied a soft line of the Mac Teddy Eye Coal to Logan’s lids. She also spread out all her goodies – brushes, blushes, bronzers, for quick touch ups between shots.

It can be quite a long day.

At this photoshoot they shot between 2,500 and 3,000 photos. After the shoot is done they go through each shot, pick the perfect ones for the site, and crop the images for full, side, and detail views.
