"  Years ago, I spotted Denise Vasi on my favorite soap, All My Chldren and couldn&amp;#039;t believe how stunning she was. When I found out she was a beautiful mix of Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Greek, well I had to talk to her. The gorgeous Latina is now starring in Vh1&amp;#039;s #1 hit show, Single Ladies, and when she recently came to NY, I got the skinny on her beauty must haves, and some advice for you girls as well.  1) You star in the VH1&amp;#039;s #1 rated show, Single Ladies, tell me a little what that has been like? How has it been different from All My children? It&amp;#039;s very different! With soap operas you have 20 or so actors and so the shows focus fluctuates. &amp;quot;Single Ladies&amp;quot; follows the life of 3 female lead characters. Focusing on our friendship and our different outlooks on life and love.  I&amp;#039;ve had an incredible experience in Atlanta the last 5 1/2 months while filming &amp;quot;Single Ladies.&amp;quot; I can&amp;#039;t believe how fast the months flew by. We just finished wrapping the season up. I&amp;#039;m definitely happy that we&amp;#039;re going on hiatus. We all need to recharge but I also know I&amp;#039;m going to miss everyone. We have such an amazing loving crew, so it&amp;#039;s bittersweet.  2) Tell me about 5 products that are always in your makeup bag? MakeUp Forever Full Coverage Concealer $32.00. Mac Opulash Optimum Black mascara $15.00 L&amp;#039;oreal True Match Blush in Rosy Outlook $11.49 Mally High Shine Liquid Lipstick Pen $20.00 Oil blotting papers-have many!  3) Who are your beauty inspirations? My grandmother has always been my beauty inspiration. At 71 years old she&amp;#039;s still naturally gorgeous. As a little girl, she taught me everything about beauty, cosmetics, hair &amp;amp;amp; skincare. I still remember the first time she took me into Bliss spa. It was way back, only high profile celebs were going there, like Madonna!  4) Tell me a typical day for Denise? Ha! Let&amp;#039;s just put it this way... by the end of this week I will have traveled to 3 cities.  5) Tell me a makeup trick? Red lipstick! Once applied you need nothing else.  6) Give me some life advice. Dream BIG!!! Dreams take time but they do come true!  7) How do you take care of your hair?  I apply a good deep conditioner to my hair, cover with a thin shower cap, wrap a warm towel around my head and hit the steam or sauna room. 8) What&amp;#039;s Denise&amp;#039; s favorite Spanish food? I love Arroz con gandules!! 9) What does being Latina mean to you? Being proud and passionate! Our music is loud, our food is spicy, our language is quick, our dances are sexy.  There&amp;#039;s just so much passion in all of that and growing up we&amp;#039;re raised to be proud of it, to express it, and to own it!  10) What&amp;#039;s next for Denise? Vacation!! Thanks Denise! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
