Billy B. tells us how being in the right place at the right landed him a dream job with Pamela Anderson.		July 1, 2003 American Salon
	As a one-man show, it's impossible for me to be in two places at once. Thanks to my agent, however, I'm able to cover a lot of ground. Streeters is based in New York City, London, and Paris. Because they represent me worldwide, I don't really need someone in Los Angeles. Recently, in fact, my agent, Jerry, visited L.A. to meet with publicists, agents, and photographers on my behalf. One of these appointments led to a very lucky break. The story goes like this: Jerry was set up to see Hedda Moye of Rocket Productions. I met her when her partner, photographer Richard McLaren, and I worked together on Christina Aguilera's worldwide press campaign. Apart from her partnership with Richard, Hedda is also Pamela Anderson's business partner. And as luck would have it, just as Jerry was walking in, Hedda was receiving some bad news: The makeup artist that was booked for a photo shoot with Pamela had to cancel. Bingo! It was perfect timing: Jerry was there to come to the rescue with my portfolio in hand. I had actually met Pamela a couple of months earlier at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, but we had never worked together. Through Jerry's Los Angeles connection, I was able to meet with her and do her makeup. It went very well, and I subsequently got a job doing the cover as well as a 10-page feature for the June issue of Stuff magazine, for which we turned her into a Vargas pin-up girl. After that I was booked for an editorial for Maxim magazine as well as for her calendar and the CMT Flameworthy 2003 Video Music Awards, where she was the host.	Ken Paves, an amazing hairstylist and friend works behind the scenes on her look.
	It was a blast working with Pamela on all of those projects; she is an amazing person. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also a loving mother of two, an advocate for animal rights, very smart, and hysterically funny. She is a makeup artist's dream-a real-life Barbie who loves hair and makeup. I hope to know and work with her for a long time to come. There is something to be said for being in the right place at the right time. Finding the right place is not something you always have control over, but I know meeting Pamela in the airport was fate. You never know what one meeting could lead to. And thanks to Jerry, I don't always have to be around to give fate a little nudge.
