It was an honor to have been chosen to be in a section of El Nuevo Dia newspaper called "Vidas Unicas" or Unique Lives translated literally. Following is the original article from the newspaper written by Janirah Figueroa Fontánez. Thanks to all of you that have given me the opportunity to tweak your lives with a little beauty. Thank you Janirah! Thank you Francisco! My apologies to the non-Spanish speaking community, but the newspaper is in Spanish. La Belleza al Poder (Photo by Javier Romero) http://www.elnuevodia.com/diario/noticia/vidasunicas/noticias/la_belleza_al_poder/302825 By Janirah Figueroa Fontánez/ Especial para El Nuevo Día Aunque en su trabajo se dedica a ocultar las imperfecciones de modelos, reinas de bellezas y celebridades internacionales, Karlo sabe distinguir muy bien entre lo superfluo y lo sustancial. El secreto de su poder está en su maleta negra, donde guarda sombras multicolores, rímel, pintalabios, brochas y otras herramientas de su ofi...

(The model Omahyra after a makeup test I did for the Carlos Campos show) Yes, it's been a while after September 11, 2001 when I started getting panic attacks and did not feel comfortable in enclosed areas like The Tents at Bryant Park , where most of the New York Fashion shows take place... So, little by little with the help of Xanax , Champagne and Tequila, of course, not taken simultaneously, you get back to "normal," if "normal" I can ever be. To this concoction add a little bit of healing time and... you can now take the subway, go over bridges, be comfortable in high-rise buildings and, sort of, enjoy flying once again without slapping a few flight attendants and getting kicked out of the freaking plane a-la Zuleyka Rivera. Hence, your life gets back to business and you start finding the pieces of the puzzle you were missing. This season for the Spring/Summer 2008 Men's/Women's Collections I'm happy! You have to understand that I love t...

(Cover of Collezioni Uomo 2007/08. James Marsden.) In-the-making of the cover: Stephanie Canciello, president of Unali Artists, spent a month producing this cover even while she was on vacation amongst Polar Bears and all, drove 8 hours to-and-from Rhode Island, and worked on lots and lots of other etceteras (mind she still owes me an iceberg) . Giorgio Ammirabile flew trunks full of designers clothes from Italy, mingled with " Calle 13 " and went to many sample sales. Karlo (me :-), molded hair, painted, and told Katie Bleacher she could not have guests in her own country home while we were retouching James, lol. And last but not least, Bleacher & Everard captured the right moments and angles for the cover of Collezioni Uomo 's "Confessions of a Superhero" with James Marsden . Of course it is team work! You kidding? We all at one point molded, re-molded, shaped and re-shaped plans, courses of action, direction, location, images and even the tuna fr...

(Above: India, opening the Cielo Latino "Coffee Table Magazine") Days, evenings... nights without sleep... my urge for perfection has stolen my stillness, again. Cielo Latino , the benefit gala for the Latino Commission on AIDS has enveloped me in an unimaginable way. My job? To glamorize the event. The results? The production and art direction of an AIDS campaign worth over a quarter million dollars ; a "Coffee Table Magazine" which feature those which in one way or another have supported the AIDS cause and quotes from their rationale as to why they are involved in the AIDS battle. A list of designers who have donated to the Cielo silent auction. A growing list of celebrities that have said "presente" for the AIDS cause. A first-time Greeting Committee for the Cielo Latino gala. A new International Ambassador for the LCOA and recipient of the ILKA Award, Gael Garcia Bern...
