Hemline Fashion Show








I have finally recovered from yesterday! The photo shoot and fashion show were so much fun. I got up at 5 am to leave for KC, and my mom and I arrived at the studio just on time. My photo shoot was from 10-3pm, and as soon as we got there we got down to business. Jamie, my stylist, and Cameron, my photographer, went through all of my stuff to try and come up with different looks. Because this wasn't strictly for the pageant, the looks and modeling was completely different. I found it very difficult because you never know what vision the photographer has. I have watched many seasons of America's Next Top Model, and the models would always complain, and I would just sit there thinking ' how hard could it be to just look into a camera?' Well, I finally understand. It is a lot harder than it looks, especially since I switched from the pageant look to the high fashion look so fast. It did take a little while for me to get warmed up, but once I did I felt more comfortable.We ended up with 4 different looks, and I am very pleased with all of them!
The fashion show was conveniently 4 levels below the studio, so I never had to leave the building. When I got there, my friend Erica was there, and I was so excited to see her! The show didn't start until 9pm but the stylists didn't waste any time and started getting us ready. My hair has never been teased so much in one day! I was quite scared I wouldn't be able to brush my hair ever again ha ha. The style was very bohemian, and everyone looked so awesome! Time flew by and then the show started. To my surprise, I was the first girl in line-no pressure at all lol. Once I started walking, it didn't bother me, and I just had a good time. As soon as the show was over, I changed and drove home. I couldn't move when I woke up this morning but yesterday was completely worth it!

Kansas City

I leave for Kansas City tomorrow! I am doing a photo shoot in the morning, and then I am participating in my first fashion show during the evening. I am so excited! Earlier this week I went to KC for my fitting at Hemline, where I was able to get a preview of what I will be wearing during the fashion show- the dresses are AMAZING! I am so nervous because I was told that 400 people showed up last year- and here I was thinking this was going to be a small event! On a better note, I found out that Erica-my room mate from the Miss Missouri Teen USA pageant, Sarah-Miss Nebraska Teen USA, Meagan-Miss Nebraska USA, and Danielle-another contestant from the Miss Missouri USA pageant will be there! I am really looking forward to seeing Erica and Danielle again, and I am so excited to finally meet Sarah and Meagan! I'll let you know how it turns out!

St.Patrick's Day Parade



This past Saturday I was in Cottleville's St. Patrick's day parade. This was the second time I was in one of Cottleville's Parades. Because their first parade was on one of the coldest days, there wasn't much of a turn out. Cottleville is very small as it is, so when I found out that there was 80 floats in the St.Patrick's Day parade, I was shocked! There were some pretty cool floats; one float was the front half of an F4 airplane( I got to get in it!), while others were decked out in green decorations. It was a great day!
