Heehee!

You know, I wish I could even remember. It was a long, long, long time ago. I remember the Esprit one like it was yesterday for some reason! And I modeled in that one ages before Betsy Johnson. All I remember is that it was in Los Angeles. I remember combing through the wardrobe and being so excited to be wearing the clothing, and a little nervous to wear others. However, it wasn't like a gigantic New York show or the ones you see during Fashion Week (One reason? I'm too short-I'm almost at the 5'7 mark).

I forgot that I once did a modeling assignment for Vidal Sassoon. My hair was long & almost platinum blonde, and they chopped it to my shoulders and dyed it fire engine red. People either loved it or hated it, but I loved it! I thought it was more exciting being a redhead!

I was offered a modeling job when I worked in Hollywood as a receptionist. I wish I would have taken it, but I was too nervous at the time! I was supposed to be covered in silver body paint, in a silver bikini, in rollerskates. I had visions of Buddy Ebson, the original Tin Man, nearly dying from silver paint. Plus, I have to be honest, modeling was not my bag. I wanted to be a writer or journalist more then anything. Plus, I was really young & a little too insecure. In my mind, I'd always be thinking, people must look at me and be like, "yeah, right". I look in the mirror and see a trillion flaws!

I wish I could remember more. However, now I'm old hag.
