For those of you who absolutely adore the extremely talented Billy B., you will be as excited as I am to hear that he got the greenlight for a pilot for his own show on Bravo! Read on...
Bravo announced the development deal for "The Beauty Foundation," a potential docu-drama series following Billy Brasfield (known as Billy B. in the fashion industry), a world-renowned make-up artist leading a jet-set lifestyle tending to clients around the globe. When he isn't charging $5,000 to prepare a celebrity for a photo shoot, he's down south trying to rebuild his tiny Mississippi hometown. The clash between the high-gloss make-up artist lifestyle and the grit of restoration projects provides a fascinating look at this unique individual and the many challenges he faces moving between two different worlds.

I have known Billy for about 14 years now and he is 100%. He never takes short cuts and he has an eye for beauty and the soul to match. I have never meet anyone like him and to be honest I will never again meet anyone like him.
We love you Billy. When he is in Mississippi he is so normal you would never know just by talking to him that he lives the life style that he does .Billy the norm to Billy the make up artist. And if you have a chance to meet him, mark it in your book he is the best.

Ms. Jones,
Those are such kind words. Although I have never had the chance to meet him in person, I absolutely love his work. You can bet, I will be sitting faithfully in front of the TV every night if this show on Bravo makes it past just a pilot.
It's such a great trait to be a person with immense talent and celebrity, yet still remain grounded and down to earth. :)

I am a personal friend of BIlly B. from Tupelo, MS. He is one of the greatest people I know and my children adore him. He always takes time to visit when he comes home and we feel so honored to know him. There is no one of his status that can compare to him.
