busy busy busy

It has been a while since I last blogged. It has been such a busy week for me. A few modeling opportunities have turned up and I have been doing a few photoshoots for the past few days and more to come in the week as well. I thought I'd share some of them here to show that I have been productive and not been ignoring my blog intentionally.

Tomorrow will be a big day as I will be heading of to london for a casting. Very excited because if I get this it will mean good money. I hope this will boost up my career as a model and I won't have to carry on with my unglamorous side job (wishful thinking).

So fingers crossed! Wish me luck because I need it desperately!

I will be back soon to visit your blogs :)

Photoshoot

Being camera shy since like forever I decided to take on the reins and do something about it. This year I plan on making lots of new positive changes in my life. One of them was to overcome my shyness (with the camera!) and so I decided to go for a casting at a modelling agency. I am happy (and extremely surprised) that I got the job.

Here are some photos from my photoshoot.

this last picture means a huge deal for me and I cannot believe I am posting this up for all to see. I was diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis since I was a baby and have never had the pleasure of having a full head of hair. All my life I've had low self esteem because of it although I think I hide it pretty well because everyone seems to think I am really confident (it's all a lie, I act this way because I hate being pitied) but now at the ripe old age of 30 something I decided it's time to face my fears and show my true self. When I mentioned to the modelling agency that I have alopecia they were excited because it meant I had a unique look. 

So now the secret is out, my hair is only a wig which I only started wearing properly a few months ago. All this while I would only wear a scarf because wearing a wig felt too weird for me. But I love it now! I wish I could afford to buy more. It's so much fun!

Wow, I still cannot believe I am doing this but like I said it's time to face my fears and I would like the public to be more aware of Alopecia. 

If you know anyone with this condition and need someone to talk to please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to help. You can find my email on the sidebar.

Thanks for listening xxx

once upon a fashion show

last year i had the pleasure of modelling for a friend who's a fashion student for the end of year fashion show in uni. 

It was truly nerve wrecking! 

You have to walk quickly and avoid tripping infront of a mass audience. I honestly don't know how runaway models do it.

Below you'll find Sukhi, the make-up artist, working her magic. I have never worn black lipstick before this but I really liked it and I think it suited me.

all ready to go!

Off I trot, elegantly of course

 I apologise for the quality of the photographs. I had to steal them from different sources.

It was a really great and memorable day!

Happy Sunday folks!
