Day as a model, tougher than I thought!


We always see models in magazines, movies, tv shows, photos, advertisements, everywhere! And I always think, "Wow, she must have it so easy, just having to sit there and look beautiful, then get payed!" Boy, I was so wrong.


As you may have read in one of my earlier posts, I was a model for a prom 2011 makeup, hair, and dress trends video and photo shoot for our city's news website. It was super fun, first we got our makeup done at Sephora and our hair at Phillip Pelusi. The guy who did my hair was gay.. it was funny.


Each of us represented a different store. I was Macy's (My favorite store ever), one girl was Cache, another was Nordstroms, and another was White House Black Market. We all got accessories and shoes as well from our stores.


The shoes I wore... biggest heels I've ever worn in my life. They KILLED ME. I was falling over from pain as we had to walk through the mall to Macy's to do the interview and pictures. As I was walking there literally every head turned toward me. It was embarrassing but also nice at the same time.

Then it's just picture after picture after picture and redoing the video 20 times and you have to smile the whole time! My lip started shaking. Other than these things, it was amazing.

The picture above is me in my dress from Macy's. I loved it. I've always wanted to wear a type of dress like that, that's tight on top and flows out below the knees. So that was a dream come true.

My hair was pretty cool, except he made my bangs all greasy and said "Oh it'll look good in pictures!" Yeah.. not so much. The back was unique though.. take a look..

The shoes.. they were so cute and stylish but SO PAINFUL! They were Guess Brand. I kept telling myself BEAUTY IS PAIN BEAUTY IS PAIN. Check these killers out!



Here is a picture from the makeup area..
