la dolce vita.

Identity theft, vogue magazine, and buying too many shoes, in other words, a long, long post.






Monday; 6:30 AM I kicked off this 2 day heaven and hell field trip. Life is, (as I perceive it anyways), all about balance and learning. You need to experience the terrible to appreciate the good, the sweet and the sour, some people need to learn things the hard way, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and all that blahblahblah truth stuff. I had a photo shoot for a juut/aveda campaign on Monday that was supposed to last for 3 hours, but went for 8, I was exhausted from only sleeping for about 2 hours the previous night and extremely irritable and as some people at the shoot might say "had a tude." But my best friend in the world who I absolutely adore to no extent was kind enough to take the day off to spend with me, (I didn't even know I would be shooting that day) and I was angry that I was working (that's right people, it is a JOB) and not spending the day, literally, with her at the mall. But after many freezing hours we had made some pretty amazing images. Not only that but a dream I have had since I was a little girl might be made into a reality, very, very soon. This campaign is being considered for every major fashion magazine in the country, including, deeeeeep breath, Vogue. My bible. If I make it in between those pages I will have knocked out a life long dream at the age of 24. Cross all 10 of your fingers and toes and grow some extra ones to cross and pray and bow or whatever it is you do, because I have been fantasizing about this since I was 11 years old. So to summarize the rest, went to M.O.A finally with Ash, met up with Veronica and Paloma, spent way to much time and money on more shoes ( I have purchased 5 pairs this month, I may have a problem), ate too much, spent too much, temporary happiness is not cheap, but you can't take it with you right? Went to a show, went to a bar, talked late, slept late, expensive cab, someone(s) trying to steal our identities and our time, forced quit and restarted, tomato soup and conversation for the soul, goodnight moon.
