Elle is the manicurist of choice for JLo, Mariah Carey, Brana Wolf of Harpers Bazaar and many more. She and I worked on an unforgettable shoot together that will be out in magazines next month involving two days of working with elephants. Both days were extremely hectic with the wardrobe and Elle was a life saver. I liked her immediately. I also just found out that she has a grown daughter and Elle herself looks to be twenty one years old..
