It's a hard knocks life.

I'm home! 
This week was incredible!! I don't know where to start other than to say that Petit St. Vincent and the Tobago Cays are the most beautiful places I've ever seen on earth!!!
I ended up only sleeping on Union Island and spent the rest of the time on a boat going around to other islands in the area.

I must say that being a model is the easiest, greatest job ever. 
but only IF you can get over being self conscious and work out 24/7 and diet.
I'm bad at the dieting. bad. so therefore my confidence is a little lacking standing in front of a camera with a bathing suit on. but I got over it. and immensely enjoyed myself.

I'll post pictures from the actual photographers if they send them to me (supposed to)  and for now these are some from my own camera.

flying into Union.  I got to sit in the front with the pilot!!!

It was a great trip!! Great people, places, food..... and I got paid!!!
when's the next casting call??? :) 

 

now back to decorating and design.

oh yea!

I am so happy to say that I was selected from a casting call to model for the Dutch Insurance Company Zwitserleven!!
I don't know how many people went on the casting... the email said they were looking for European looking models.... and those are probably in short supply here in Grenada. enter a tall blonde with blue eyes and bam! picked!

The most fantastic part of this is I am being flown to Union Island all expenses paid for 3 days!!
and I'm getting paid really well for my time while I'm there!
I.AM.SO.EXCITED.

Union Island is only about 20 miles north of Grenada so I won't be too far away, and my cell phone will still work there. thankfully.
Union Island is called the Tahiti of the Caribbean. sounds good to me! :)

Here is some of the recent work of the company I'll be shooting with. http://www.caribbeancrews.com/recentjobs.html

I can't believe this!! I am so nervous!
I have been working out.every.single.day.
and no pop or sweets or salt.
which is impossible b/c there is an entire cake in my fridge thanks to my birthday yesterday!
life is hard.

Here is a preview of the photo shoot Amber and I did with the old VW Van. 
remember my inspiration post?
I love the way they turned out!  Isn't Amber an awesome photographer??
and supposedly this is some super rare type of VW?? sitting deserted on the side of a Grenadian road.
