Blizzard

On Sunday I am ashamed to say that before going into the store I had a minor emotional fit. I was angry at one of my friend's, tired and blue, and I wasn't in the mood to be modeling. But I picked myself up and walked to the store, trudging through the banks of snow, and got there early, confronted with a locked up shop. Jason arrived soon after with his wife Jen and the '50s clothes model Daryn tagging behind him.

Much to my surprise, Jason locked the door behind him, saying there was no need to be open today and get distracted. I had never shot with Jennifer, his wife, before so I was nervous. When I was doing the measurements I also noticed that many of the '70s maxi dresses had been severely shortened to sell better on Ebay, and I found myself wishing I could take a few home. With my ipod playing over the sound system at a loud volume, and Jennifer telling me how cute I looked, we actually had a good time and I forgot about my bad start.

That was actually probably my favorite day at the shop this week, because it was all chill and relaxed and everyone was very encouraging. It also gave me something to do for a few more hours and distracted me from being angry. When I was done with the outfits they offered me a ride home but I declined, preferring to walk by myself the short block home.
