Designer Slash Model
Here's the deal. I'm not a model at all. But from time to time I'm asked to pose in front of a camera. I remind whoever is asking for said pose that my face is slightly asymmetrical and that I'm not a size 0 - and that I don't translate well on camera. But with that said - there's very little I'm willing to say "no" to. So when NewsOK asked me to model some local fashions for their Mood section I said "sure!"
So, I arrive to have my makeup done and get into wardrobe. I'm having fun striking poses in an alley way when the male model shows up. This dude is actually a model, represented by an agency, and I'm super quick to tell him "I'm not a model! I'm a... designer slash blogger" - in that moment I felt very Carrie Bradshaw. But then I start to become really self aware and realize I haven't shaved my legs or armpits in about 5 days. I haven't washed my hair in over a week. And I'm in desperate need of a mani/pedi. It becomes clear that I'm completely unrefined: unprocessed, crude, lacking in refinement; moreover that's how I've always been.
Then and there I decided to embrace it. And I'm glad to see just a little bit of that does translate on camera.
Inspiring words and you look great!!
I agree with WrenRennard!
your pits don't look hairy at all!
haha that is so fun. You do realize you're a knockout and you look great in photos right? you always look adorable in your what we wore pictures.
where are the pictures of this male model??????????????? ;)
you look fabulous :) we knew it way back when ...
Thanks you guys!
Em - 5 days is hardly a five-o-clock shadow in my pits, but still! And thank you for the sweet words.
love the sassy-ness! definitely comes across well on camera! who says you aren't a model?
I love this post so much that it has me smiling hard enough to make my face hurt!
News flash: you get asked to model because you're BEAUTIFUL!!!
One thing, though... I demand to know why we don't get to share in the man candy?!
Kelly
You look fabulous! I want your shoes. And your hair. xo.
You guys are too nice. I adore all of you.
Nicole - unfortunately, the clothes weren't mine to keep. I think those were Seychelles though if you want to track them down.
ha! i saw this the other day and had to go take a second look. i didn't tell everyone i knew the covergirl. even if i wanted to. don't worry.
if you need a stack of like a thousand, let me know.
can totally relate! i've done a few stock photo sessions & when put on jobs with real models (beautiful people who do this for a living) i feel completely out of my element. you pull it off & look fabulous!
while i, on the other hand, am trying my best to not look like the soccer mom that i am!
your hair is so much like Cole's in this pic.
Keep it real! Love it! *s*
Ryan - That's awesome because Cole is totally my hairspiration.
This picture is fantastic and I'm glad you said "sure!"
