Accessories table. Fun stuff!
Hanging out with the other models & the stylist. I'm in the yellow jacket on the left. It was wicked-cold in the studio and there was only one heater, up on the ceiling. Guess where the fan blew the heat. Yeah, we pretty much didn't move from that spot unless we were needed by the photographer.
The finishing touches. Yep, I always keep it classy.
Lovin' it! I had so much fun & I hope I get to do another shoot really soon!
Saks had some impressivew snowflakes covering the front of the building that flashed along to Christmas songs.
Cartier was all wrapped up like a gift
The window display featured a wall of Cartier boxes. The boxes would open one at a time and out would slide a different piece of jewelry. (sorry for the bad pic)
But for I much prefered the windows at Tiffany's. Look at this amazing peackock, dressed in diamonds.
An aquamarine bracelet made quite a nice necklace for the little lady.
Peacocks showed up in at least four of the stores' displays. Look at this one from Juicy Couture. (I think that gift is a horse)
This window wasn't particularily Christmas-y but I just love Prada. That suit would look absolutely killer on me!
Burberry followed a gold theme too with rows of black, gold, and bronze glass icicles as a background. If anyone needs gift ideas, I would like very much this black trench coat:
Louis Vuitton made their iconic emblems into light displays which was a cool idea, but ultimately it reminded me of those light-up reindeer and santa ornaments you can buy at Walmart. Better luck nexg year LV!
The intersection of 5th and 58th had a giant snowflake that shimmered and flickered. I'd hate for that to fall on my taxi.
The best windows in my opinion were at Bergdorf Goodman. The mens windows featured cold-weather animals dressed to impress while playing sports of some type. Looky:
Across the street at the womens part of Bergdorf Goodman there was a cool window with a woman playing chess with an owl.
There were two vignettes with great dresses (one lady has a bird head)
The most spectacular windows were the windows displaying the four seasons. I heard that the displays took eight months to create. They were so intricate and detailed that I would completely believe it.
Absolutely insane. The whole time I was looking at these windows I had my ipod playing the Charlie Brown Christmas music. It was just what I needed to snap me into the spirit of the season.
We stopped in this little deli/grocery store and there was this super-friendly cat there. I took a pic of him because he was so nice.
Next, from a catering job I worked on Halloween. This party was incredible; the most extravagant party I've ever seen. The venue was an old synagogue that is now an events space. It was all lit with candles and colored lights and dry ice filled the place with a mysterious fog. It was incredible!
They had all of the waiters wear these stupid skull shirts, but the face painting was pretty cool. They hired air-brush artists to paint everyone's faces. I kinda thought my first air-brush experience would be with modeling, but oh well.
Now to the park! I visited a traveling art exhibit by Chanel a few weeks ago. The building is completely portable and was designed by famed architect Zaha Hadid. The pieces inside were all based on the iconic Chanel quilted purse. It was really interesting.
Of course, I couldn't not post photos of Central Park in the fall!
My favorite place in the park: Bethesda Fountain
Finally, here's a picture of a fountain down in Chelsea near where I work. I guess they forgot to turn off the water once it started freezing. It looks pretty cool, but I'd assume there is some sort of damage going on here.
I had a great trip home, but it's good to be back. I'll be posting more soon!
This next one is pretty good, but I have a lot of photos of my profile already. I've been told that I have a really good, unique profile but I really need to get good photos from other angles. Yeah, I'm showing some leg...
I'll have to see if any other pictures turned out when I visit the agency next. Probably Friday. I'm quite a bit more excited to get the photos back from Tuesday. I felt better about how that shoot was going anyway.
The beach we hung out on. That would be the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in the background.
For some reason (probably because we're both models) we had an impromptu photo shoot. The photos of me all sucked, but I got a lot of good pics of Reed. Like this one:
Seriously. He looks great in almost every picture. I looked stupid in nearly every one. It was a lot of fun though. I could see myself being a photographer someday... along with my giant list of future professions. Here's a photo of me being a dork on a beach. Enjoy.
On Saturday night I met up with a girl I used to work with at the HoDo in Fargo. She recently moved to New York and is trying to get a job in a designer showroom. We had dinner on the patio at this nice little Mexican restaurant in the Meat Packing District followed by a couple drinks at some cool bars.
There was also a hula hoop contest that I was unarguably the best at. Hands down. Later on our cute waitress gave me her phone number. Ha ha! It was a really cool place. Just look at the decor:
Screams fiesta, huh? (this was taken late at night, it was actually very busy before)
The best part was we talked for hours about Fargo and where we worked. It was really nice to be able to do that since I've been a little homesick lately. I'm sure we'll be hanging out again soon. Well, as soon as I have more money!
