Meet Our Stylist: Jennie Kay Murphy
When we saw Jennie Kay do Laura’s styling for our first Sexy Period photoshoot, we had to do just about everything to restrain ourselves from holding her hostage for the sole purpose of making us look good every morning. Not only did she put effortless-looking curls into Laura’s hair but she also crafted killer makeup. Jennie owns her own salon in Rhode Island and has worked on everything from 27 Dresses to Jersey Boys to Snoop Dogg.

Read on to hear what Laura’s got to say about tickling, the Spice Girls, and growing up as the snarly brace-faced redhead.
What’s your must-have comfort during that time of the month?
A romantic comedy, my fiancé cuddling on the couch, and a BIG bowl of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream keeps me happy.
What motivated you to become a model?
Growing up I was the snarly red head with the face full of freckles and a mouth full of braces, but everything about the fashion industry and modeling made me stand in awe. Needless to say, I never figured I’d be where I am today. When I was in high school, I dated a guy that was absolutely no good for me. Over time the relationship fell to pieces but I gave birth to an amazing little boy. I promised myself I am going to show my son, no matter what anyone says, no matter who you are, you can live the life you want to live. All it takes is an outgoing personality, the motivation to reach for the stars, and the determination to not let anything stand in your way. Four years later here I am!

What’s the snack food you’re addicted to?
Pumpkin Pie with a load of whipped cream on top would have to be at the top of the list. Between me and my fiancé we’ll finish a pie in one sitting. Yes… he gives me the last piece. :)

Friday Night Fabulous. Why you ask? Doesn’t the name explain it all! ;)
