Summary

Hi Beauties!
Have you ever wanted to meet Marilyn Monroe? Well I have, and this week I got to meet the modern day version, the lovely Jeri Mae James! I was so excited to meet her, everyone in my office fangirled! Jeri embodies Marilyns emphasis on natural beauty, femininity, and elegance...everything we are missing in today’s society. She mastered the Marilyn look by combining modern makeup techniques and her knowledge on 1950’s makeup to accentuate her best features. Tune in to listen to how a small town girl from Solvang polished the iconic Marilyn Monroe image. Have a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast? Send me a DM or email
