HAITI/MODELINIA

Last week my booker invited me to a money raising even for Haiti by Modelinia / Spin (a ping pong club owned by Susan Sarandon). There was a silent auction and monetary donations as ways of raising money. I believe this event was collecting money for the St. Damien's church in Haiti which like many is not operating with nearly enough resources. Upon research I found out that the even raised approx. 20,000$ and the auctions may still be taking place online.

And for the lols, here's me looking overwhelmed on the press line.

HAIR!

I have been blessed with very thick, very long hair. But what's better than genetics? Hair stylists! On a daily basis my hair does not look like the photos below! I can easily spend 2 hours in the hair chair. Most stylists use large barrel curling irons on small sections, pin, set, spray then brush out. My hair ends up looks super smooth and shiny because of the heat.

I unfortunately do not have the patience, or the muscle to devote to 2 hours of hair styling.

My routine is awfully simple. I wash my hair 2/3 times a week. I (almost) always wash it the day before I'm working (clients would rather you have clean hair. surprise!). I use quite a bit of whatever shampoo is around and what I feel like is half a bottle of the nearest conditioner. I try to brush it through in the shower.

Bumble and Bumble Super Rich is my favorite, but awfully expensive considering the rate and which I go through conditioner;

I also try to use a leave in like Infusium 23 right after my shower;

I wear my hair wet in a bun to bed and voila! I'll wake up with damp hair because I have so much of it. I don't use heat on my hair when I'm not working. I always shower before bed simply because my hair takes so long to dry.

Tadaaaah.

Tiger of Sweden Spring/Summer 2010







Peep this! Shoot from Sweden! The 2nd time I've shot their campaign. Lovely team, lovely time. =)

P.s. - Someone asked about my sister, if she models and if I could post pictures. Unfortunately my sister does not model. (^_^)
