The Winner is...

This month at work we had a pumpkin decorating contest to get everyone into the Halloween spirit. At first I was thought my pumpkin was going to win for sure! It was a two faced, good vs evil dia de los muertos sugar skull peice of art... but as soon as I walked into the Salon and saw the adorable Gizmo pumpkin among many other really creative designs I knew it was going to be a tough competition to win. After a long anticipated ruling by the judges first prize rightfully went to one of our very talented hair dressers Jaime. Check out her pumkinized Gene Simmons!

Misfit Monroe Master Makeup Artist is back in action!!

Whats up people out there in cyber space! Ive been MIA for a while but I get like that from time to time. I'm like a turtle... when things get tough I retreat inside my shell for a while! But I'm back and in rare form! Here's whats happened in the last few months... I got married to my best friend and the love of my life, got an amazing new job as the resident makeup artist for a very prestigious salon and spa and am now expecting my second child. Lots of lows followed by lots of highs and I'm just excited to see where this crazy thing called life is headed next!

My latest and greatest passion is Aveda Makeup!! Its almost completely organic and very eco friendly. I'm now painting faces full time at Elixir Salon and Day Maker in Colleyville, TX. It is an Aveda salon so every product they use from their plant derived hair colors, and makeup pigments to the massage oils and waxes are all from Aveda so they are great for sensitive skin and giving back to the environment with every use.

Misfit Monroe

Making my mark in Dallas/ Fort Worth TX!

Ive been in Texas all of three weeks and have already found a LOT to love about the state where everything claims to be bigger... and so far I have to agree.


When Im not out being the sparkling diva* that I am, I'm slaving away at my day job as a Merchandiser for Old Navy. I never knew just how much i stood out as a former Californian until I decided to wear my favorite pair of leapord leggings to work along with a slouchy green top in the spirit of St Patricks Day. Ive never gotten so much attention for a single article of clothing in my life! Right away any customer that approached me new I was not from Texas...as if my valley girl accent didnt give me away enough lol. But in a town full of jeans and T-shirts, trendy California neccesities such as leapord print leggings, over the knee boots, and denim minnie skirts ( which I was ridiculed for wearing when a womans husband was caught "admiring" it) are considered "wild" and eccentric. Dont get me wrong, this doesnt apply for the Dallas/ Fort Worth area as a whole,  just the more suburban, church on every corner, house wife, soccor mom, conservative area's. Head south a couple of miles and fashion takes on a whole new meaning, where girls dont leave the house without thier nails, makeup and outfit making a serious statement and anything goes... im still tryna keep up!

One thing I know for sure, when the sun goes down out here is when everyone comes alive! Thanks to my cousin and her social skitzephrenia, Ive had a healthy dose of Texas night life and so far im liking what and who im seeing... My next post will be all about some of he hottest clubs and hottest promotional Team in Texas... as soon as I get there permission to blog about them!
Armed and ready with new business cards, a new Model Mayhem profile and making some amazing new friends... Misfit Monroe is ready to make some big things happen in Texas!

Who is Misfit Monroe??

Hello world, allow me to introduce myself... When Life gets tough and it feels like nothing else could possibly go wrong and im ready to just give up, is when I need the stronger version of me to come out and take control of my life. Like Beyonce has Sasha Fierce, I have Misfit Monroe. She is confidant, sexy, ambitious, motivated and doesnt let anyone get in her way or pull her down. She is fearless and spontaneous and lives in the moment. While I myself am naturally all of these things, sometimes life has a way of wieghing you down and one can lose themselves in the chaos. After going through some personal trauma that uprooted me from California and planted me in Texas, its time for Misfit Monroe to make the most of this new life! Stay tuned...

XOXO
