It was pretty exciting going on a mall tour with seventeen magazine. We got to play dress up and model all the trendiest clothes meet other hot chics and goof off and be paid for it. Everyone on the staff was super nice and we always got lots of free stuff. There was a group of 10 girls and originally they weren?t going to go with me because i was an inch away from standard height. Needless to say i still got a call back. This time they wanted me to walk for them so i did and after waiting 30 minutes or so with the rest of the cattle i found out i was chosen. I was super shocked because i normally did print and rarely runway.
I do have to thank Sketchers for getting me started in everything with out being a promo girl for them the modeling thing would have never happened. Working for them one thing lead to another and next thing i knew i had an agent working for me. I got gigs doing YM prom special edition and working with great magazines such as teen mag. I also did a lot of make up campaigns.
I'm very lucky to have had those kind of experiences how ever that?s how i figured out that models are on the crapy side of the biz. Here i am 16 yrs old and making X amount of dollars (which was good pay) but my agents would have anywhere from 6-20+ girls and making a % off of everything not to mention the production and the kind of $ they were making. It made me think??
I dont have many pictures of me my Mom in California has all my stuff. I gave it to her to hold on to when i moved to PHX.
