Confessions of a Struggling Model #021

Hey yall! No picture today. Just an update blog on how I'm doing in the modeling world. I MUST say... MODELING IS NOT EASY!!! I have found that is it EXTREMELY hard to find reliable agencies and reliable work. But it's okay because of course I will keep trying. I have also noticed that time differences make a big difference and unfortunately alot of castings are earlier in the day too. But on a lighter note, I got casted to be a part of Dejavogue Modeling Agency, I applied to work with M A G N I F I Q U E and to be casted in Dallas Modeling Agency's January Show. CROSS YOUR FINGERS! I hope I can participate in more shows this year. But also, I think I'm gonna work on my blogging skills, really try to blog new items for OPOPOP, U.R.Fashions, find new stores etc. Maybe that will help me get my face out there as well. I think im going to separate this blog & make a new one just for fashion & keep this one just as a journal for my model experiences.

I still have that ultimate goal of making urban modeling more visible on the map but I think I need more experience in different shows and get my name out there before I really embark on that mission. I do want to eventually have a really popular fashion blog & a fashion magazine highlighting urban designers but all that will come in time.

For the aspiring models out there, please know that its not easy... BUT! don't give up. Just keep trying and sooner or later (or at least I hope) you will find a place in the fashion world :D

Stay tuned for more updates!

XOXO

Hey everyone! I have decided to try to participate in Miss Seasons of Beauty 2013.

The Seasons of Beauty Pageant is organized into four phases and the winner of each season (Miss Spring, Miss Summer, Miss Autumn, Miss Winter) will receive the respective title for their season,    Tiara designed for each season, & a $2,000L gift card.

Tonight I competed in the two round, Miss Autumn competition and received 2nd runner up. Not too bad for my first competition. I'm glad that I placed but with the perfectionist in me, I really trying to see what I could have done better. I'm thinking maybe my first round was a little weak? I dunno lol I see all of this as a learning experience and I did have fun, although I was uber nervous. I will be trying again for Miss Winter, the more practice I get, the better so wish me luck! =/. I hope I do better in the Miss Winter compeititon. I can't give up! :D

I will keep you guys updated on my progress :) Till next time..
