Viva Las Vegas, The Hair And Make Up Capital Of The World

Living in Las Vegas, working full time for Cirque du Soleil, and freelancing in Makeup, Hair, and Wigs: What else could be beat that? Owning an Academy to teach those skills is an amazing attempt! I’m Meghann Mason, and my business partner and Co-Director of Academy of Makeup and Wig Design in Kelsey Contois-Husch. What brought us to the decision to create and run a school? Why is one needed in Las Vegas? What can we share with our new readers looking to find a career in Wigs and Makeup in the entertainment industry?

A Circus Life

Authors note: I met Eddy Ventura in late 2007. I was a newly hired rigger at the Cirque du Soleil show Mystere in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is not common for the rigger with the most experience to also be the humblest, but that was Eddy. He would be the first to volunteer for a rigging project. He was always eager to pass along his rigging skills to younger less experienced riggers, like myself. He was also an encyclopedia on the subject of the circus which I found out was a part of his life since he was a teenager. Now in his late 60’s, he told me in great detail of his time in the circus. This is his story… in his own words.
