October Happenings

It feels weird recapping October already!! This month flew by like none other ... I've been on a high from September and Macy's Passport and can't believe its been over a month since that experience. October was a very good, productive, insanely busy month. I loved it - wouldn't have it any other way!
So let's see here ... I was in LA for the majority of October--missing Jay and SF terribly. AST I was frantically running around and doing castings the week of the 8, I did a show for Directives West and fittings for Mercedes-Benz Los Angeles Fashion Week. My first FW show was on the 13 for Elsie Katz Couture and my second was on the 18 for Semora Couture. I had a third but they pulled all their models @ the last second for cost. =[ grr.
I was very pleased that I got the chance to visit Models For Christ while I was in LA. I was pleasantly surprised and met some solid people with whom fellowship is sweet. Models for Christ is an accountability organization for models and others in the fashion/entertainment industries. It was a rejuvenating and refreshing time of fellowship. I will be returning whenever I can and am in the area.
I had a networking opportunity as well at the open house party to celebrate the new FORD LA office (shweet). I met many of FORDs top clients and received very encouraging feedback. I also made a connection w/ a photographer (God's timing is good). I had put in a request to my agent for a test shoot w/ an LA photographer--but my budget is tired! lol. nothing was popping with that request and I was leaving in 3 days after FW. This photographer shot with me before my final show in FW for FREE!! Great times and I can't wait to see the photos. Even in the little things God is working!!
Jay booked me for a Macy's Impulse informal show on the 23 (7:30pm) in SF and LA booked me for a Directives West on the 24 (6:30am) in LA! I still am not sure how I physically managed on a total of 2 hours sleep in about 48hours. Somehow, God pulled me through. And I kept the clients happy ... its all in the priorities lol.
I finished out the month in San Francisco. I had been staying in LA at the apt w/ my roomy (Sophia! <3>
So there's October!! phew ... =] haha
