Weinstein (Rhodes) is a makeup artist and the author of the 2003
beauty guide City: New York. Her website www.iamprettynyc.com showcases not only the makeup she does, but her services as a personal
shopper for makeup as well as her writing. She is a staunch defender
and an arrogant resident of New York. As such, her website is devoted
also to the people, places and products that make New York pretty and
so if you have a unique business or profile, she would love to spotlight
you in her Spotlight section. Also, she's always looking for photographers
