I thought that I would blog today about the current modeling project that I am going through. It has been exceptionally fun and the people whom I am working with are fantastic. We've all worked very hard to make this something unique and memorable.
I have a very strong love for Halloween. As such that love often influences much of my fashion as I model and style outfits from day to day. So, when I found a modeling/styling competition that was going to be on the subject of haunt couture I suck my teeth into it and embraced my darker side.
What has resulted are a series of photographs that capture my inner self and my fascination with things that are rather misunderstood. Most who look at me wouldn't see a model. Many have told me as much. But I suppose some people told the Wright brothers that they couldn't fly and Picasso that what he did to the way we saw art was wrong.
I am a delightfully average young woman who stands at about five feet five inches and weighs a touch over one forty pounds. Though this lessens my odds of ever achieving my dreams I am not discouraged. Why; because I am unique and have my own special qualifications.
Size should not decide a person's worth or their beauty. Everything is much in the eye of the beholder and there is no 'one size fits all' for attraction. But, the modeling world has seen fit to take the extreme and make it what the world now considers normal and what all women should strive for, even if their particular body types cannot achieve such 'perfection.'
As I write this I realize that very few people, if no one will read my blog. and that is alright since my love of modeling and fashion are things that I do for myself though would ultimately like to share them with other like minded people. I guess I'll just have to see what happens.
As for my shoot, things are going well and I have been selected as a finalist. I am currently working on sewing a petticoat for the final ensemble now. I have high hopes and look forward to sharing them with whomever may care to see. Also, for anyone afraid that this is going to be a self absorbed modelling blog, have no fear; I fully intend to blog plenty about thrifting, fashion and beauty as well. Hopefully someone will find it interesting.
Remember, be true to you.
