How do you get GOOD photographers to shoot with YOUUUU?

You're short, you're not a typical model in many respects, but you have good photographers who want to shoot with you, how do you do it?


So I'm talking to my friend today (whose also a photographer) and we're just shooting the breeze, yada yada. Then he compliments me on my new rope picture that I did with Robert Sanders (and Ray Savage) a few weeks back. He's telling me how dope it is, and I'm feeling good about it, and then he comes with the low-key insult.

"I don't know how the hell you get to work with so many great photographers."

I was cracking up. I'm all, homie, did you just hit me with the insult (poorly) disguised as a compliment? LOL.....

Anyway, it's true. I'm short. I'm 5.3. Not even average. Short. But it fits me ;)
I'm curvy. Not super skinny, I have big boobs, I have a little tummy pudge, but I love my body. I'm definitely not the typical model type at all. But at the same time, I'm realistic with it and I work hard at what I do. I know I'm never going to walk runways or model for Versace or Prada or wtfever, and that's fine. I'm not "going to revolutionize the industry and pave the way for shorties everywhere" because I live in the real world. LOL. But I like to think that I'm fun to work with, I'm laid back, I'm a pretty decent model, and I can help photographers create some good images. So there you have it. The big "secret" behind why good photographers wanna work with short, curvy, not typical model looking ME.

God Damnit I'm a NATURAL BLOND

Dude.

If one more person sends me a message that somehow implies or directly states that my hair is dyed, I'm going to scream. I know that there are only like 7 natural blonds left in the world, and most people with blond hair dye that shit, but mine is FUCKING NATURAL. Grew out of my head on its own. That exact color.


BLEGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Drives me nuts. Oh, and my tits are real too. Thanks.

Super Slow Work Out

My mom and my big sister have been doing this "Super Slow" strength training/weight work out stuff for about 2+ years now. I decided that while I'm in SD, I'll jump on the band wagon.

I've been using weights and doing strength training for about 2 years now, so I'm all about it. But MAN, this shit is INTENSE! It's been about 7 weeks now and I LOVE it.

The point is to target a specific muscle group using a machine or free weights, and work it for no more than 3 minutes, until you reach absolute muscle fatigue/failure. You do about 8 different exercises in a session and oh lordy are you sore after.

LOVE it though :) Highly recommend it to anyone.
