NEW ORLEANS — Chaka Khan is more than angry.
Instead of getting to rest before her show at the Louisiana Superdome, the R&B star has been booked for two speaking engagements. She’s holed up in her hotel suite, fuming. Outside, her assistants are waiting for her to open the door.
Her makeup artist, Derrick Rutledge, is waiting, too. He just flew in to do her after working on Michelle Obama in the East Wing. After New Orleans, he’s scheduled to fly out to do Oprah Winfrey before returning home to Washington.
But first Rutledge has to persuade Khan to open the door. Finally, after 15 minutes, she does, and Rutledge distracts her by talking about two of her favorite subjects: tennis and shopping.
Within 30 minutes, Khan emerges, reddish mane flowing, lips sensuous in burgundy, looking glorious in a lace dress and carrying a hand fan.
“It wasn’t a good day,” Khan later admits. “I was nervous about speaking, but he calms me. He knows what to say to me.”
Rutledge has worked for Khan for 15 years. He knows what his client and close friend needs: a hug and some orange juice. “I’m more than just makeup,” he says. “I’m there for support as well.”
Rutledge is the man behind the look of some of the world’s most famous names. A leading makeup artist, he gets as much as $15,000 for a day’s work and boasts a coveted client list, including two of the nation’s most photographed faces, Michelle Obama and Oprah, as well as singers such as Patti LaBelle, Shirley Caesar and CeCe Winans. Just last month, his work was on the covers of Essence and AARP, which featured Obama, and O, which featured, obviously, Oprah.

Then she washes her face and $15,000 goes down the drain.
Most self indulgent First Lady since Mrs. Lincoln.

And in this economy many women feel guilty when they need to take a few bucks out of the family budget for some Mabelline or Cover Girl cosmetics! But for that Michelle...it's just another day in paradise when the White House covers her $15,000 make up bill.
By the way, notice how none of the women listed are anywhere even near being pretty without the help of this guy. Guess he only works on homely patrons.
Just put a bucket over her head and bang on it for 30 minutes. You would get a better outcome.
Our tax dollars.
lol!!!!
Wouldn’t $15,000 cover some plastic surgery? Do something a little more permanent rather than washing it down the drain every day. Liposuction could be in order as well. Just a suggestion.
You have offended pigs everywhere. Prepare for a lawsuit.
“$15,000 for a day’s work...”
I didn’t read the whole thing.
Do you know if he supplies the BONDO, or is that extra?
Surely it’s extra, otherwise he would go broke.
I just want to know who the heck is paying for all of this and where in the budget are they hiding this colosal waste of makeup.
Nothing can be done to make that turd look anything but Chewbacca.
She doesn’t need a face transplant...she needs a soul transplant.
That’s not Moochelle! You can tell by the...arms.
I really wish you had pinged me for that...that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny!!!!!
The Iron Fist on the podium, is quite appropriate
There was a racist term commonly used up to the 60’s-70’s for someone that would get into money then spend like there was no tomorrow.
It's all part of the plan to stir the racial pot.
As I recall the second word of the term is “rich”, which also rhymes with “bitch”.
I just returned from brunch and all the really good comments on the Wash Post site, the most highly rated, have all been deleted by the moderator.
