News Flash!
As of February 1st, 2012, I will be implementing a rate change. I must increase the rate for
the Makeover + Photo shoots from $249 to $299 for "Package B," and from $299 to $349 for
"Package C." However, regular "Makeup Only," Package "A" is being REDUCED from $99
down to $75. "Package D" (that's the double shoot) will increase from $349 to $399.
The increased rate reflects the increasing amount of time required for post-production work
on your images. Many of you know that I do a minimum of ten additional hours to complete
the photo retouching, and the current rate makes this cost-prohibitive for me. As I get
busier, I am having to turn away shoots in order to accommodate the post-production work.
If you compare to other services around the country and beyond, you will learn that my
rates are still lower, even after the increase. Many other services do not offer even HALF of
the number of photos I do, and do not include retouching. It's a necessary evil to increase
rates, but my prices have been the same for many years, and I must keep up with the times
in order to continue. If you book before February 1st, regardless of when you actually do
your shoot, I will honor the old rate. If you book after February 1st, you must pay the new
rate. Please see the "Rates" page for details.
In other news, I have added a few new services to the menu. The first one is PRIVATE
VIDEO SERVICE. I get a lot of requests for this service. I will make a video of you, erotic or
non-erotic. It can be up to 30 minutes in length, and include you and another person or
people. Some girls would like to see themselves in "real life" situations, or intimate
situations with a friend. I will edit it, with music and titles, and of course it includes full
makeup, hair, and nails. Please visit the "Rates" page for more details.
The other new services are "Tour Guide," and "Mini-Shoot." The "Tour Guide" service is
designed for visitors and newbies. I will arrange for someone to meet you at your hotel,
and accompany you to shopping, dining, or clubbing. We will tailor this service to fit your
needs. Please see the "Rates" page, or call 818-508-5289 for more details.
The "Mini-Shoot" is designed for those who do not want, or cannot afford, a whole photo
shoot. It includes a full makeover, plus a "single-look" mini-photo shoot. See the "Rates"
page for details. In the near future, I will be adding products and merchandise sales (wigs,
nails, hosiery, and the like), including my very own makeup line.
Last, but certainly not least, the new costume line is almost ready. The costumes have been
photographed, and the new website will launch at the first of the year. Again, I will post a
notice here when it does. They are fabulous, and I would like to thank my talented new
seamstress/costumer Mallory Kay Nelson for all her hard work to make it happen. I will
feature an advertisement for her services as well.

| OCTOBER 2012 NEWS: Great news, Gurls! I'm very happy and proud to announce the newest addition to Transformations By Gina. I have finally found the perfect person to bring on board as my assistant and photographer. Her name is Kitty Van Gogh, and she will be taking the helm as head photographer and makeup artist effective immediately! Many of you already know that I have chosen a different path recently, and will be now focusing on my career in Special FX makeup. I have launched a new business that provides training for other SPFX makeup artists, and I will be concentrating mostly on developing my skills in prosthetics, props, and creature/monster-making. However, the heartbreak of letting go of a business I worked ten years to develop was too much to bear. I just couldn't imagine saying goodbye to all of the wonderful friends I've made over these years, and to not be able to do their makeup was just unthinkable. The original plan was to sell TBG, and simply move on. But I just could not do it. The thought of someone else taking over the business I worked so hard to build was just not acceptable, especially if it were someone lacking in skills. The only solution was to find someone with excellent skills that would be willing to come and work WITH me. I tried numerous times to find that special someone. Each of them were missing an important element, and that is COMPASSION!! Acceptance, professionalism, enthusiasm, humor, positivity....the list goes on and on. It was a very tall order, and I really struggled with it. But she came to me out of a distant referral from a friend (Rachelle), and when I saw her work, I knew she was the one. So, ladies....without further ado...let me introduce KITTY VAN GOGH!!! Kitty is an incredibly talented photographer who has carved a name for herself here in Los Angeles, in the fashion and fetish world. She's lived and worked in the community for a long time and is also a 24/7 "life-styler" in the fetish community. She loves corsets ;-) I am blessed to have found her, and I have no doubt that she will make me proud. I just know you'll love her too. She will be handling all the photography from now on.
