Alittle makeup artist history.

TBT 1977 .. I was a staff makeup artist @ NBC Studios NY 1976 -1982 It was my college of makeup starting there at 18 yrs old. NBC was also a revolving door of some of the most amazing talent and performing artists in the world of which I was very lucky to have worked with many , including The Bee Gees . This was at the peak time of Disco & Saturday Night Fever ! #1977

We were already huge Frankie fans around these parts. This is still a great post though.

Sometime in the late 40’s, before either man was famous, Frank Sinatra appeared in a theater in New York. After his show he went to Harlem to see the Will Maston Trio led by a young Sammy Davis Jr. Frank is blown away by Sammy’s talent and after the show he asks Sammy to come see his show.

A week goes by. No Sammy. Sinatra goes back to Harlem to see the Will Maston Trio again and asks Sammy why he didn’t show. Sammy said he was there but they wouldn’t let him in. Frank stormed back to the theater, tore up his contract in front of them, and never performed there again. That would be a common theme during the course of their friendship and careers. When Sammy wasn’t allowed to play at the Copacabana, Frank wouldn’t play there either.

When Sammy was refused a Las Vegas hotel room, Frank said, “Give him my room!” After Sammy’s car accident where he lost his eye, it was Sinatra who paid all his medical bills. After 5 decades and 40 years of performing together, a reporter once asked Frank why he was always so charitable to Sammy. Frank responded in three words, “He’s my brother.”

Interesting peice of St Petersburg history. I have passed this building a million times and didn't know it was a burger joint. I will definitely visit.

When Pennsylvania transplants Steve and Rose Bonfili bought a tiny 4th Street tavern called El Cap in 1963, and transformed it into a stop-n-go sandwich shop, they were taking a risk – albeit a calculated one. Recently widened, 4th was the most-traveled commercial thoroughfare in St. Petersburg at...

Thank you, Nicki, for coming to Classic Concepts/ The Color Suite for your vintage hair style. I bet with makeup and dress your look was amazing. It was a raining day but she said her hair lasted beautifully. We really plastered it.
Classic Concepts is one half of a beauty joint business partnership. The Color Suite Hair Salon is downstairs and does salon services. Hair color, cutting, extensions, hair styling, waxing, makeup, etc. Classic Concepts Photo and Film is upstairs and does wardrobe rental and styling, photography. Makeup and hair styling is a joint venture since usually it's done by Crystal Lockinour who is the stylist for both.
If you need headshots or creative photoshoots feel free to inquire here.
