Name: Mary Anne Hogan.Spotted at: 18th and Tremont streets
Profession: Actress and make-up artist.
Favorite film: I'm a big fan of Merchant Ivory period films. But more recently I've become a huge fan of Lena Dunham's show on HBO, Girls, because it is very true to real women's perspectives and emotions.
Autumn anthem: I love My Morning Jacket's "Touch Me I'm Going to Scream" every season, really. I especially love the Black Cab Session live performance, which is amazing!
Style inspirations/ icons: I love to let the pages of magazines like Allure, Elle, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Interview, ID and V wash over me.
Favorite color: Red.
Favorite accessory: I love my red prayer beads that are Hindu. I wear them on my my left hand because it feeds creativity and power.
Style mantra: I love to be of use. I try to view myself as a citizen of the world and just be myself.
Shops at: Goodwill and thrift stores to find diverse things. I like to wear men's trousers because they look adorable and are comfortable. I buy some basics from Gap, and I usually have sentimental attachment to things that are gifted to me.
Of her red nails, Hogan says: "I was a Playboy bunny from 1971 to 1973, and I got into red nails around that time. Steve Martin used to come in, and I was a hippie in Boulder and I used to serve everyone and do the bunny dip. I've loved red nails ever since then."Hogan's favorite accessory, the Hindu prayer beads, remind her of what's important: the oneness and universal feelings that we all share. "We all want our children to be safe, to be happy, and to experience love and not pain," says Hogan, who's the mother of three.
"I always tell my children that we are citizens of the world, and not committed to one place," Hogan says. "I was born in Grand Junction, and I knew it was not the cultural center of the universe. I like to use the internet nowadays to find out what is going on in foreign places like Iran, and I become inspired by that."In addition to being a Playboy bunny, Hogan has been a real estate agent, an actress and, most recently, a make-up artist. Doing make-up has brought her a joy that no other work has, she says: "I love to treat people with respect and love when they are in my make-up chair so they feel confident about themselves, that they glow when they leave my chair. I want every individual to look iconic for themselves."
She adds: "I enhance their natural features and make them look like a master's painting, like Venus rising from the sea. I love and respect everyone in my chair in order to bring out their luminosity without artifice.This is because I have my basis in acting and can relate to actors on a different level."
