Scenester: Ashley Brook Perryman

Thursday, May 6, 2010

EDITOR'S NOTE: Scenester is all about you. Think of it as our "reader of the issue." Want to be a scenester? E-mail us at scene@postandcourier.com.

Job: Freelance makeup artist and hairstylist for print/TV/film

Song that best describes you: WOW. I love music, so that's a real hard one. Probably the "Sex and the City" movie theme song. Its fun. OR "Flashing Lights" by Kanye West.

On a Saturday night, you are usually: Probably on location/preparing for a shoot, or recovering from traveling. But if I'm off, I love to go out to dinner, dance and catch up with everyone I've missed. If I'm super-exhausted, it's TCM old movies with my Pomeranian minnie.

Favorite event in Charleston and why: Charleston Fashion Week of course! I love the feeling of inspiration the event brings, and working with Ayoka Lucas is always inspiring. It was an honor to have helped create/direct the very first hair and makeup tent,and work with all of the gorgeous models, talented designers, and stylists.

Talents/Hobbies: When I'm not doing hair and make-up, I'm usually shopping for it! I'm always on the lookout for new products. I love to paint, and have always collected antiques. Traveling is also a passion of mine. Anything that inspires creativity and imagination.

Best thing about Charleston: It's home. Worst thing about Charleston: I think everyone who shoots in the summer time will agree with me: THE BUGS, and THE HUMIDITY!

Favorite book: Dream Dictionary- I love looking up the meanings and interpretations for fun.

In love?:Yes. there's two of them. My first love has always been my career, and I have an awesome someone who respects and supports my passion for it. I'm a lucky girl!

If your friends described you in one word, what would it be?: Focused.-(that's what I got texted back in response :) )

How would you describe yourself, in one word: Driven

Things you do in your spare time: Lately, I haven't had very much of it (which is greatly desired being freelance), so when I can, I relax and go to my makeup studio downtown. Catch up with my family and friends. There are always fun events to go check out.

Biggest accomplishment: To be doing what I love everyday, and have a career that I have unconditional passion for. I feel lucky and blessed to be working with some of the industry's most talented and inspiring people.

CD in your CD player right now: Will an Ipod do? The last song played on my iPod was definitely Jay-Z @ my studio.
