makes you grumpy, unfocused, and sleep deprived. …Okay, I’m joking. However, I’m up early in the morning to work on homework and I think I function better without an alarm clock, honestly. I’m trying to instill a sense of discipline, though. Thanks to tea and my attempt to try and keep things less procrastinatory this semester, here I am. It’s 6:52 in the morning (my class is at 8:30) and I’m clinging to the idea of perhaps eating breakfast and getting my day started.
Tomorrow, I plan on having two outfit photos up. I need to re-create one from earlier this week (I liked it too much not to), and put one together for tomorrow. Hooray, fashion.
I turned in my portfolio sketchbook. I think I may have confused one of the requirements, and I hope that it doesn’t affect my standing as accepted into the major (portfolio + post-portfolio sketchbook approval = acceptance, essentially).
My amazing, talented friend Annalisa of Snapshot Ninja Photography took some photos back in September/October for two small fashion shows I modeled for. She was able to get the photos to me a month ago, and I wanted to share with you a few from each show. Most are behind the scenes, but these were lots of fun (which explains so many silly shots). The first show was make-up oriented. The second show was meant to be hair, however, it ended up simply being a showcase of Cerina’s (my talented and lovely make-up artist) abilities. Because of the nature of these shows, the models brought their own wardrobe.

References: The girl in red pants is my close friend, Rachel. She came out for the show to help when models flaked, and I think she did an amazing job. The model in the jeans is a friend of Cerina’s. Cerina, is of course, the make-up artist and the girl smiling wide in the second to last picture. The last photo, is of course, me and my supportive sweetie.
Clothes:
Because there’s a lot to cover, I’m rapid-firing this.
September 9th:
Rose Melody set (skirt and top), In the Starlight petticoat, Bodyline jacket, hand made mini-top hat, Platform heel boots from GoodGoth.com
October 1st:
Me: Forever 21 dress, Annalisa’s husband’s Fedora, Lip Service waist cincher, Hot Topic stockings, Payless shoes
Rachel: (my) red Lip Service pants, (her) amazing Betsy Johnson bustled jacket, and I can’t tell what shoes she wore that night. Mini-top hat bought from egl_comm_sales.
I love hair and make-up shows because it gives models like me a chance to get runway experience. I’m short and I have curves—even as I work out and cut some of the squishy bits down, I will still be curvier than your average runway model, simply by how wide my hips are (read: very). Them’s the breaks, and I accept my limitations. I will still push forward with my modeling career, and alt modeling doesn’t have height restrictions (although most of the time they’re fetish jobs. Sigh). And, no one said you have to be 5’10’’ and stick-thin to be fashionable.
More soon. Ciao, lovelies!
