The Curvy Model

Well first of all HAPPY EASTER!!! :)

Secondly, I wanted to let you all know how yesterday went when I modeled for Saks! It was INFORMAL modeling, so basically I put on the clothes they wanted me to put on and walked around the store. haha. It was fun, very low-key. The clothes were…. lets just say a little less exciting than I would have hoped. I suppose you have to expect that being a bigger girl, but it still pisses me off to NO END. However, I do understand that girls my age aren’t exactly their target market, but what about us? What are we supposed to wear? Which is the constant question I ask myself, not like I can afford Prada, Burberry, or Gucci, but If I could I wouldn’t be able to fit into any of it… The sad truth.

The other girl who modeled with me was 46 years old haha, she has been modeling for like 17 years. She kept saying “chubby models always have to smile”. This intrigued me, only because she is very naive to the point where she doesn’t want to push the limits. She is stuck on the commercial look, which bores me to death. I mean I will do it, obviously, but it isn’t all I want to do. ALSO, she doesn’t do print. Which explains a lot, because in print you don’t only smile as you can see in my port I rarely smile. But anyways, the ladies styling us were older too, so most of the looks were for older women. But there were two skinny skinny skinny models there too, who modeled the straight size clothes, their clothing articles rocked… Oh fashion world, why can’t you change for me? ;)

So yea, it was a good experience, good money, and above all interesting. Everyone was really nice, everything was really expensive, if you followed me on twitter you saw how I posted twit-pics on a Michael Kors purse I carried, and a Prada belt I wore! I also wore Kate Spade shoes!! It was weird that my outfits were probably all together $1000, but they didn’t make me feel like I was worth that much… haha Funny how that works.

P.S. I found out that Saks only uses Ford models for print… LAME

ANYWAYS, enough about me.

How are you?

Oh my… My hair better cooperate today! I am getting ready for Saks!! I don’t want to talk to long on tumblr because I only have an hour before I need to get on the road, I want to be EXTRA early! Only because being late or almost late stresses me out wayyyyyy too much!

I might tweet a photo later after I am all dressed and pretty! :)

Wish me luck beautiful people, I will probably need it! <3

Haha, I stole this shirt from my boyfriend!! :)

GUESS WHO GOT A MODELING JOB?!?!?!?!!!!! ME! haha :) Yay n’ stufffff. It is through my agency which is a huge stunner, because I thought they hated me. It is a “informal modeling” job haha that’s all I know. Therefore I googled what informal modeling means, apparently its:

A type of modeling in which the model circulates among consumers and customers and answers questions about the garment or accessories that he/she is modeling.

I think that sounds pretty damn fun! :) haha. I am just used to fashion shows and shoots, its interesting how many terms there are… I found this site helpful!

So, that is really great. I hope that this is a start for me! :) Watch out fashion world, here I come! ;)

Oh yea, did I tell you who this “informal modeling” gig is for? SAKS!!!! (Salon Z)

Don’t worry I will tell you allllllll about it, it isn’t until April 3rd! So therefore I will probably go tanning a little bit, get a mani/pedi, and work out! haha Pressure is onnnnnn!

Ahhhh! Are you as excited as I am?
