#TEAMPIXEL: CELEBRATION OF COLOR AND PRIDE

Hello, and happy last day of Pride Month (even though our awful president didn’t acknowledge June as LGBTQ Pride Month this year). I wanted to share the new Google Pixel commercial (“Our Colorful World”) that Lenny Mesina (@chumpchampion) edited, and that I had a chance to be a part of. It came out fantastic.

I had the opportunity to be a part of Team Pixel when my friend Taz (@tazcatphoto) and I recently shot some photos using the new Google Pixel phone for my post at the color walls in downtown LA (remember my forbidden blue lipstick?) I was excited when two of the pics (well, technically, 1 1/2) made it into the spot. Hooray for my 15 seconds of fame (well, technically, 0.5 seconds hahaha)!

My half-pic and Lenny’s cool editing skills:

Make sure to join Team Pixel if you are a Google Pixel user and interested in a chance to be featured on Google’s social channels. Just use the hashtag #teampixel on Twitter or Instagram. Google selects and shares a new photo each week with its millions of followers.

Ah, this poor old Lime Crime unicorn lipstick that never gets to be worn. Love it, but so scared to really wear it. So many mixed emotions about wearing blue lipstick…it’s like wearing plaid pants while skateboarding…you better rip. Probably the only and last time Eddie will allow me to wear these aqua lips in public (or in the privacy of our apartment):

But hey, it’s still one of my favorite photos from the shoot.

Huge thanks to Lenny and Taz, and bravo to them both for their excellent work on the commercial. I also spy my beautiful Pixel teammates–Rachel and Cait–in the spot which totally made this such a fun project to be a part of!

Thanks so much for stopping by and watching the spot!
