String of Luck
First things first, I changed my lip ring to a semi-small pink diamond. Not so horrifying anymore. But then again I didn't think the lip ring was horrifying. Just horrifying enough to get "politely" discouraged from going to Family Home Evening or other church-related activities. I would post a picture but I haven't one recently due to my monthly cycle making me feel like poo.
And the good news: I'M A MODEL! My friends convinced me to try out for America's Next Top Model a couple of weeks ago, and that didn't work out but it made me realize my supressed dream of being a model. I always thought of Jennette as the model, so I never really thought about it more. And I was extremely sensitive about criticism, but thanks to intense psycho-therapy I can handle criticism regarding my looks, and most things actually.
So I applied to be sponsered by Coach Models and they approved me! I sort of think they approve anyone, but they're advertising me well. I'm on the front page of the Washington page: http://coachmodels.com/Modelagency-Models-Washington.htm
I have good pictures (thanks to Jennette) but apparently the "underwear" shot (aka swimsuit) is a little scary (according to Heather), but I do need professional pictures. The good thing is Coach Models has a lot of partner photographers and they do TFCD's, which I think means free shoots on a cd that they can put in their portoflio and I can use as well...I haven't figured it all out yet, but I've contacted a few photographers. What I really want to do is find an amateur photographer that needs to build up their portfolio so we can both get some experience. So if anyone knows of one let me know and I'll call them...this new cocktail of drugs I'm on makes me unbelievably outgoing (and probably has something to do with my new-found self esteem). It's amazing (Wellbutrin XL 300mg, Lexapro 10mg, Propanolol 5mg, and Klonipin 1mg in case anyone wants to request it).
So last night I auditioned for the Seattle International Fashion Week and I think I did really well. It was only my second audition ever, so really I'm not sure how it went, but out of the people that went before me, I was the only one not asked to do the runway walk again. And there was a photographer there to take pictures of the auditionees after their walk, and I watched the photographer take a lot of pictures, and I was the only one he introduced himself to and he said "good job" to me. So I'd say that's a good sign. Besides only about 60 people auditioned, and it's for a "huge" fashion show (I saw huge in quotes because I have no idea how big it really will be). I'll find out September 6th or 7th, so I'll keep you all posted. Maybe it's my string of good luck lately, but I feel confident about it.
In other news: I got my first job for a client! YAY! And, I'm going to California (again...I'm addicted, but have decided NOT to see Dick Nixon) on September 13-16 to go to a meeting at Pepperdine and will turn in my application in person while I am there to the admissions director. Good idea, no? I had my boss write a letter of recommendation for me and holy crap it was amazing. he said I was in the top 2% in every category and STRONGLY recommended me for the program. I'll find out beginning of October probably.

Hey! All we did for those pictures was use a little a canon digital camera. Haha...everyone is always surprised, even her instructors. We did everything in color and just made adjustments on the computer. My dad just bought a nikon d200 and the pictures are amazing so we could probably borrow that for a day to take some.
Also for pictures, Art Institute has a photography degree and their students look for models all the time. They have posting boards there that you can put your info. up on. Or even talk to the head of the program. They had studios and all that stuff.
Other fashion shows, which are volunteer but good practice, are put on by the Art Institute and International Academy of Design and Technology. My sister goes to IADT and I just walked for her in their fashion show. It was fun even though in the pictures I have so far, it looks like I'm angry and/or have a side pony tail.
