Diary of the Dark and Delicious Music Video "Mask - Before I Leave"

This is long overdue, but I did have a great time shooting the Mask music video with Allan and Tas and of course the whole cast and crew.  It was like slipping into a twisted dream back in the 1920's with a dash of steampunk, dark wave, gothic magic.  Mynxii was amazing and looked posh in her sexy nude lace dress.  I was mostly blacked out with long dresses and a lovely art deco beaded head dress.  When my peeps gave me the pics & vids it reminded me of a story book fairytale gone awry.  Pushed into the wet, white underworld, a place between heaven and hell.  You couldn't ask for a better menace than Jeffrey Vincent Parise.  

Dear Alexandra sorry for the slap in the face.  xo *Celeste

"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
- Stephen Grellet, 1773-1855 (French-born Quaker Minister)

This has been a bittersweet season full of exciting prospects and challenging circumstances.  As many of you know the passing of my dear Nanna has been difficult, but I cherish the love and support from all of my family, friends, and fans.  She was a wonderful woman and role model that brought so much joy into my life.  There are no words for the love I feel for her.  I appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, and condolences.  Many have asked about flowers and contributions so please send all donations to her church at http://www.evergreenlutheran.org 

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

I wanted to get something flirty fresh new shots and Dana Patrick knew just the trick to get the perfect click.  I decided to wear a light crisp white and a raspberry colored blouse for this L.A. photoshoot, here are a my favorite three shots.  Just in time for summer!

Video of My Vivid Magazine Spring Editorial by Destination Luxury

It was a beautiful day in Los Angeles when David Lee and I shot this dreamy editorial in the trendy downtown Evo Penthouse for Vivid Magazine.  I was mostly wearing Louis Vuitton, Carolina Herrera, Chloe, Oh My! compliments of a fabulously chic new stylist named Chriselle.  After sipping champagne and staring off into the psychedelic wallpaper art, I lounged out on the couch which was so comfy cozy and soft it made me want to take a little kitty nap.       

 

I will post the editorial layout soon too...

Asiance Magazine Cover, Interview, and Acting Advice

Just wanted to share and shout out a big thank you for all the love and the cover story from Asiance magazine.  I think it's awesome they've built a platform for Asian American talent.  Check out my interview about my career, visiting Korea, and my advice about pursuing acting.

ASIANCE: What advice do you have for girls who want to break into acting?

Celeste:I found working with coaches that helped me hone my craft in a supportive environment was great for my process personally. Do your research and find people you can rely on and get along with for your team. Focus on your strengths and celebrate the little wins in life because it's too short to spend stressing. No matter what, keep your chin up and know that each mistake is a chance to learn. I think if you stay positive and professional people want to work with you, but in this business you have to be very proactive. Like anything you want, don't wait for it, go out and get it.

ASIANCE: Tell us about your webseries coming out this summer.

Celeste:Shooting our comedic webseries Yogaphiles this summer is going to be a blast. We plan on casting a rainbow of talented comedians from as many cultures and backgrounds as possible. I'm really looking forward to the cast chemistry and doing a bit of improv. I'll be posting details and release dates on my site in July so you can check out all that fun stuff.

Forest Fairytales

I had a lovely time with Sabina McGraw taking some romantic shots in Los Angeles' Elysian Park.  We wanted to keep it soft and natural with a touch of whimsy.  I love the peeling bark on the trees and the natural sunlight streaming through the leaves.
