Barihunk Steven LaBrie chosen as M∙A∙C Cosmetics model

Barihunk Steven LaBrie probably never guessed that he'd have something in common with drag icon RuPaul, but they are now both models for M∙A∙C Cosmetics. 

Last month, the New York City-based company posted a notice that they were looking for a "classically trained male opera singer that has a young, hip, edgy appearance...Theatrical flair encouraged. Acting ability a plus." We were all but certain that a barihunk would be selected and even offered a few suggestions. We heard from at least a dozen barihunks who applied and eagerly awaited word back to hear if they landed their biggest non-operatic role.

We're trying to get more information about how M∙A∙C will be using LaBrie and we will update the information as it becomes available. It appears that he'll be part of their “Indulge” roll-out, which is being launched across the country. According to their website,  "Indulge is a beautiful, 1920’s-esque collection, so expect to see darker, bow lips and gorgeous, smoky kohls. This look is not for the faint-hearted. You may be stepping outside of your comfort zone but you will be in the hands of professional artists."

Peggy Lloyd

If you're not into attending a cosmetic campaign launch, LaBrie can next be seen on September 10th with the Ocean City Pops as they celebrate Peggy Lloyd's 100th birthday.  Peggy Lloyd served on the Board of the Ocean City Arts Center for many years where she arranged frequent fund raising bus trips to major art exhibits. She is a financial supporter of the Arts Center and Ocean City Pops Orchestra, but is best known as the woman who escorted Miss America for twelve years.

LaBrie will be joined by the young violin prodigy Joseph Hsai and soprano Chloe Moore. Tickets are $10 and $15 and are available online.
