SEVEN YEARS LATER HE WAS SENT TO NEW YORK CITY TO BE THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR IN THE MAKEUP SALON OF ELIZABETH ARDEN 5TH AVE. PABLO BECAME KNOWN FOR HIS WILD EXTRAVAGANT BEJEWELED CREATIONS FOR THE COVERS OF VOGUE AND HARPER'S BAZAAR MAGAZINES.

I love that you said he came from a "Good Italian Family that would never approve of him being a makeup artist". My family still thinks I'm unemployed after being in the industry for almost 20 years. ;)
