Description This is a portrait of me, THAT WAS NOT TAKEN BY ME!

So please refrain from giving me any credit, aside from modeling.


Long story short,

I was a hair model a couple of weeks ago for the New York based Hair Salon, Bumble & Bumble. They dyed my hair and used me in their Seattle hair show, where they showed my hair in a private demonstration to Seattle area stylists. I did this for two days and on the third day, there was a photoshoot they wanted me to attend.

These are some of the best photos that have been taken of me professionally and I've been unsure as whether or not to submit them, because they are not my work.

But I decided I'd like to show off 2 or 3 of my favorite photos from the set, which was at a studio in Seattle.

All styling was done by professionals and the photographer was Howard McLaren of Bumble & Bumble. He is usually one of their main stylists.

In this photo you can see the crazy hair do they did for half of the photo shoot, they're called fish braids. And they hurt like hell!!!! But I really adore this photo of me and I think it shows the Pisces in me.

critiquing modeling - you're beautiful (I don't need to tell you this, do I?)... but... I think you need to relax your mouth when you're being photographed. In both this and the other photo you submitted from this shoot your mouth is very tight, and turned down a little at the corners. You don't seem do this in self-portraits.

Oh well that's because they told me how they wanted me to be..

no smiling at all, very serious modeling type of thing...

believe me, I think these are all rather boring.
That's how fashion goes I guess....

oh, I don't mean smile, but I just think it would be better if it was less tight. You look like you're clenching your jaw as well, which makes it look bigger...

but yeah, I guess basic fashion tends towards boring. After all, it has to appeal to the masses, and anything even remotely interesting is bound to offend someone.

oh yes, I am! I'm not surprised though.. I can see where we have some similarities as far as being Pisces go.
Yay for fish, indeed.
