What have I been up to?

I am putting makeup to the side for just a minute since the fall season is coming full circle. Now I am not saying that I am not taking appointments, because I always am but I have been working on another artistic project.

This project is an undertaking that I'd never know myself to tackle but I welcome challenges.

I think in life you have to take those steps away from the comforts of your surroundings. How else would you find out what your true destiny is if you don't take a risk?

So what am I doing? I am writing a book. There's not much else I can really explain about it, other than it's a story I've been wanting to write for years now and I am just now getting to it. I am ready and once I'm finished, perhaps I will either write a sequel to it or search for an agent to help me with finding a publisher.

This probably sounds silly to some but I consider myself an artist in many ways and expressing myself artistically in this form is very therapeutic.

Once I get closer to being done with the draft, I'll post some excepts on here.

Rihanna Covers Italian Vogue

Rihanna is such a fashion maven in this Italian Vogue 5 page spread. I would really love to work with her and create some looks. She has the perfect face, body and what a muse! There's a lot of girls out here who believe they are models because they can smile and look pretty in front of a camera but just like a guy with a camera it makes her no more a model than him a photographer. You need to do your RESEARCH. And change up your expressions, contort your body, and take some risks.
