February Happenings

Wow... can you believe it is already March?! I can't - this is craziness. So, the start to February commenced with the bitter-sweet experience of Superbowl Sunday ... yeah, that's all I have to say about that =] Had a few print castings this month, but haven't heard from them since. Had 2 great photo shoot experiences as well, the third I cancelled - its complicated. BLAH. One of the shoots will produce tear-sheets for me! YAY finally. Anyways, I signed with another agency this month; this one in San Jose. I've been referred to this agency for quite some time now by people I respect and have worked with. So far it has been a very good experience, and the agent/model relationship is a very open/positive one! Traci (agent) seems very excited at my career prospects - and is wanting me in New York by May... before I am 19. I must go through FORD as my mother agent, but travel possibilities are looking up =] We shall see.

A negative to this month was that my long awaited/planned 3 week stay in LA for fashion week was cancelled. Im still sorta sulking. FORD felt that I had gained a bit of weight, and wasn't in shape to their standards. After a bit of debating back and forth, I decided to cancel the trip in an attempt to pick my battles; New York is more important. I have/will be using the weeks+ that I would have been in LA working, as a bootcamp... so they have no excuse not to let me at New York.

The end of February I was in Pleasanton and then Sacramento as the FORD representative for their model search in partnership with Macy's - I taught runway classes to the prospective models in preparation for their test, a formal runway performance for Macy's prom collection presentation to Teen Mag(?) I believe. It was fun-the kids were great, reminded me of my teaching days at the dance studio... made me miss my girls terribly.

So, we shall see what march brings! Im looking forward to having some FUN when friends come home from college for Spring Break... hoping I will be home and that we are blessed with some beach weather! =]

PS: Ah, yeah and I was also rear-ended this month on 101 ... my poor car! agh fortunately the lady is being really wonderful about taking responsibility and we're working it out.
