BUTCH DIVA MAKE-UP ARTIST HIGHLIGHT: ASHLEIGH CUCCI
I was first referred to Ashleigh by Director of Marketing and Sales for Kicksclusive Magazine, Ralph Ortiz. He knew I was on a desperate hunt for a makeup stylist for my last shoot and was kind enough to point me in her direction. There goes that "networking" I'm always talking about... After a few talks of the look I was going for, Ashleigh was confident she knew exactly what I wanted...boooooooy she wasn't playin!!! We picked her up from the station in Williamsburg, she rolled alone and ended up doing the job of a whole team! It was like a BUTCH DIVA guardian angel for sure! Although we fell way behind on schedule, in the end it was all worth it...her attention to detail was definitely what I needed for this shoot...hence my quote in life "great things are accomplished only by the perfection of minor details"...she styled the makeup, hair, and even painted the girls nails! The end result...GANGSTA PIN-UP BARBIE! Thick lashes > strong cheeks > a fierce brow > beauty marks > and fluorescent pink lips!!! AHHHHH I love it!!!
Most if not all of us wish to inspire and share along the way. BUTCHDIVA.BLOGSPOT is my outlet in sharing my visions, aspirations, experiences, conceptual thinking, resources, my network and foundation of peers / family / and friends, and most importantly my journey in learning, building momentum, and making a difference. I feel very fortunate to be working in an industry I love, and doing something I have endless passion for. It brings me endless pleasure to share my work with you, and all that inspires me to keep on keepin' on.

BUTCH DIVA is a bold and cutting edge collection offering a range of innovative styling and attire suitable for a young woman looking to make a statement at work, at the trendiest scenes, and also within the intimacy of her home. The “BUTCH DIVA” philosophy thrives off the potential and intentions of aggressive, androgynous females looking to succeed at what some once considered only masculine roles - and yet still keeping in touch with their femininity, passions, and sexuality. "BUTCH DIVA" also serves as a psychological description I came up with for a woman who handles her business and takes control of all that contributes to her fulfillment in life and well being.
The BUTCH DIVA goal is to offer a lifestyle collection that empowers women regardless of what they're engaging in. BUTCH DIVA offers a wardrobe consisting of trends, comfort, touches of class for the 'diva' within, and endless confidence . So many females today want to be the ring leader - in control of all they do, and BUTCH DIVA plans to gear them up as they make their commanding statements.
BUTCH DIVA...ITS NOT JUST A LABEL - BUT A LIFESTYLE.
