Why do I want to be part of "Spread the Love" and What do I hope to get out of this Journey?

Matrix's campaign to "Spread the Love" in 2011 is a huge opportunity for anyone to advance their career.  The education and training that will be provided is unimaginable.  The experiences that I will gain from such exposure is something that I have only seen in my dreams!  I am anxious for the new direction my life will take in the fast approaching 2011!  I anticipate the inspiration I will receive while being mentored by numerous industry professionals.  I am looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends.  I try to invision all of the places that "Spread the Love" may take us and I realize that this is unlike anything I have ever done before!  I am serious about developing my technical ability and learning more about haircare.  Furthermore, I am also enthusiastic about enhancing my skills in business and networking.  Throughout this journey I hope to obtain the knowledge necessary in order to reach my future goals and continue as a leader in the beauty industry.  I'm a "Git-r-done" kind of girl and I want to do this!   

If you could have dinner with an industry celebrity or icon, who would it be and why?

There are so many talented and creative professionals to choose from, but my first thought was Anthony Moscolo.
Anthony Mascolo is a hairdresser from London, England. He has won the title "British Hairdresser of the Year" three times, and is currently the International Creative Director for TIGI Haircare. TIGI's website has a page called  TIGI Professionals which provides biographies of their team, there you will find descriptions of Anthony including "Anthony Mascolo is like the Ferrari he drives: fast moving, extremely creative, innovative, cutting-edge and passionate." Other websites such as UKHairdressers.com describe Anthony as "Motivational thinking, creative direction, artistic interpretation, image making, innovational idealism, educationally sharing, inspirationally caring, photographically artistic….sheer genius"
 If I had the opportunity to sit down with him, I would most likely ask him many of the same questions that "Spread the Love" has asked us.  I would want to know in his own words what inspires him and how he is able to then process those ideas or feelings into full collections.  I would appreciate any advice or direction he could possibly give to me, concerning life and the risks he has taken that have brought him to where he is today.   
This past March 2010 was my first time attending America's Beauty Show held in Chicago.  I earned my admission to the show and my stay for the weekend through my beauty school's "Star Student" program.  At the show I was lucky enough to camp out third row center at the main stage. It was there that I was mesmerized by numerous demonstrations and performances by well known haircare companies and industry celebrities.  Anthony Moscolo and his creation of Cirque de TIGI was absolutely mind blowing.  It was not just an average runway show, not like the ones we may be used to, one new or trendy hairstyle after another dramatically walking the stage. No, this was a complete "Las Vegas" style performance, a type of extravaganza!  Music blaring, multiple costumed performers and models executing their choreography simultaneously.
Since then I have contemplated... How does a person in the beauty industry go from graduating beauty school to becoming a person like Anthony Moscolo, on stage at an international beauty show.  It is in my opinion, that he has reached a level of superior talent and recognition, even in the company of his own peers.
Therefore, it would be my pleasure to someday share with Anthony Moscolo the impact that his creation of "Cirque de TIGI" and his Portfolio have made on me as an individual and my professional goals!

What would your best friend say about you?

Why choose just one best friend to help me "Spread the Love;" when I can share with you a whole bunch of my friends that have something to say!
