Coverboy Interview:
He may not be part of Jem and the Holograms, but Allen could be considered an expert in glamour, glitter, fashion and fame. The 22-year old Charlottesville, Va., resident works in the cosmetics field for industry giants Chanel and Laura Mercier, and does freelance makeup artistry for parties and special events in his spare time. ''Whenever I go out shopping, I always hit up the cosmetics counters to check out the latest trends or products,'' he says. When he's not ankle-deep in moisturizer and mascara, this former gymnast likes to practice his tumbling and stay in shape at ''cheer gyms.'' Because he loves to dance, when he's in D.C. you're most likely to catch Allen at Secrets or Town.
