i hate this photo..but whatever..i love dirk so ill represent..

So I'm back from La Iv'e been unwinding for a few days.

I spent the night at my boyfriends sisters huge apt in so ho the night before i left.. went to cafeteria ate with my friend pedro and went back to the apt and figured out airport "looks". haha we tried to stay up all night since i had to leave for the airport at 5am.some weirdo guy was there and kept trying to put his toes on me ew.! very awkward.. so i wouldnt let my friend leave me and go home bc i didnt want to be alone with this guy.so he stayed and had to leave at 4 30 so i went and took a bath and locked the door got ready and booked it out of there. intense.



.traveling to La at 5 am than coming into La around 2 30 pm and doing Jareds show at 5pm ..after party righ tafter. than photoshoot at 4am than my flight left out of LAX at 3pm the next day arrived in new york at 12am. I guess thats the life right .. it fucking wore me down.thank god I can get in these circa de sole possisions in the airplane seats and sleep.Its a hidden talent I have. The people around me couldnt believe how i could get into such positions.I met this really cool couple on the way there spent 5 hours looking at fashions magazines together critasizing every photo..and model.I arrived at Lax and clint was 2 hours late picking me up bummerr.First time i didnt get strip searched at security. I was very happy about this.

I wore my new gladiator shoes the whole trip i love them!



The show was fun.. kinda marie antionette on crack.. really sick i loved the clothes.. my shoes were 2 sizes to big though i thought i was gonna trip down the runway.











backstage..








i love ali she was one of the sweetest people ever.

Jenna jamesson was there i missed her too bad i love her! forbidden,tarina,was a really good turn out.










this was the train station the show was at.. the runway was soo long and so high upp!




The hotel I stayed at was so sick.. The standard.. ill have more photos and stuff from the hotel soon just waiting on them..i guess they film entourage there..Debbi and I stayed in ordered cake and macaroni and cheese and watched some movie but fell asleep real fast! party poopers.

we shot with dirk fngers crossed clint and I..I was so delusional at 4am I dont even remember shooting it.





So I'm back in nyc now.. I miss La i wanna move back boo ..one day. I might start hosting this new party called family every saturday night with cazwell and amanda lepore. That should be exciting. We have to re shoot alot of the alumni look book next week. Kinda not looking forward to that I hate repeting shoots to fix what wasnt done right the first time.

I have to spray paint some hangers to shoot the alumni shirts on tomorrow.and pay some credit card bills such a bummer.

my birthday is coming up i cant beleive im going to be 20.. i feel old. i know 20 isnt old but i feel i am . i wanna be 18 forever.

on that note i still havnt washed my hair from the show.. it has all this gross white powder spray in it and feels like death..needless to say i need to wash it.

Im leaving tonight staying at my friends in the city driving down meeting up with brett hopfully going to a bar to hang out for a bit. I got to go to bed early my flight leaves at 8 30 am eww! Im so fucking nervous for this runway show.. i hope i do well :/

i try to shoot every two weeks,but since working at mac i hardly have time .. so i basically only do the paid ones now.paid shoots are fun if you get to come as you and do everything your way.. but sometimes thats not the case.
if im sad or stressed out ill book a shoot for free just to cheer myself up.

And how much of the photoshoot, set, hair and makeup do you actually have to do yourself? =]
I always come up with the concept,get all the probs,do that hair,and the makeup..Ive let a few ppl do my hair or makeup a long time ago and some came out good some not.. but i just feel comfortable doing myself.
