My Other Life...

   So one of my favorite conversations starters with someone is “What would you do in your other life if you could have one?” I’m always curious to know what people’s dreams are. And when you phrase it like this you allow them to be as outlandish as they want because it’s what they would want if they weren’t doing what they are now.  So that being said I'm gonna answer that very question for all of you, my readers.

     In short, the answer is to be a model. No, I’m not just that vain. I love high fashion, I love absolutely love the lifestyle. Being model isn’t about being beautiful. it’s about being unique and owning it. Sure there are downsides to this dream. It’s said that many models are unhappy with their bodies and of course I couldn’t eat whatever I wanted, but this is my fairytale so I’m gonna focus on the good. Mostly I just think the idea of flying around the world, getting to work with and wear the most exclusive clothes and designers is amazing. That life just seems incredible to me. So yeah that’s what I would do in my other life.

            In this life, I actually do a little modeling. Not much at all. It’s all amateur and most the time I feel more like the photographer is doing me a favor instead of the other way around (even though they deny that). Still, I enjoy it, it’s a fun way to pass the time and as a benefit, I have learned how to look good in most pictures. Even the ones I didn’t know I was gonna be in. Haha

        

    I once even went and auditioned for a local branch of a national organization that trains and hones the skills of all types of talent. I mostly just went because my friend didn’t want to go alone and audition for singing and acting. Funny thing is I made the cut. I could have joined the program, but I didn’t. I didn’t have the money or time, but I did take it as a compliment to say that those people that supposedly can spot talent liked m. As for now, I’m gonna stay doing what I’m doing; being a model for my friends as they get into photography and need to practice or need to fill up a portfolio, (that’s where most of these pictures came from) and if I get asked to do something and it fits into my schedule, I might just do that too.
