So here are some general summer 2011 plans:
- Work a general 9am-5pm shift, M-F at Rockbrook Camp.
- Stage Manage the Brevard Little Theatre Production of "Annie".
- Visit with friends (in B-Town, as well as my lovely Nick in Ashevegas).
- Watch all the episodes of "Bones" on Netflix. Looove it!
- Potentially audition for America's Next Top Model if they make their way to Atlanta.
- Have a photo shoot with Ella McCoy as my photographer and Madeline McKeller as my stylist!
- Get a website editing program (Mac) to fix up the Gamma Phi website.
- Work really hard to figure out a way to remember the names of people I meet.
Some of the nitty gritty details:
I'm starting my "summer makeover" plan next week (after my birthday!). I'm signing up for a membership at the local gym... I plan on taking yoga twice a week and to start working on the elliptical. I have to build up my jogging abilities on the treadmill too- I was doing pretty well for a while but have fallen very far behind. I'm hoping to build up to running on 'Charlotte's Run' which is a trail at camp that a lot of the girls use for running (but it has lots of hills and I'm not ready for that yet, sadly). I want to start using free weights and make a routine that I can do while I watch "Bones" or re-runs of ANTM. I am thinking about starting a morning stretch routine because I have horrible flexibility and poor posture. I need to save up to buy a nice, comfortable, perfect fitting pair (or two!) of heels and learn to walk in them. You can't really be a top model if you can't wear heels...
Sorry for the rambling... My next post will likely have to do with my favorite designers... so keep an eye out for it!

The Terrors of TV
Almost everyone I know is aware of the fact that I generally don't watch TV- I didn't have a TV in my apartment this past year, I didn't have "a show" my senior year of high school while I was at UNCSA... I DID however, watch American Idol and America's Next Top Model in middle/high school on and off.
My mother was excited for me to watch American Idol with her tonight. There were only 4 contestants left and they sang two songs each, so I was totally down for that. No big deal.
BUT- here is the real reason I don't watch TV... after Idol was over, I had to hit that Guide button and see what else was playing. And of course, my ultimate soft-spot: Next Top Model.
I remember from a young age my aunt said that I should be a model. I never really took it to heart; I've always had my family say I was pretty or beautiful, and once you hear it so much from them (and not really anyone else), it's hard to believe. But I did pursue acting, which doesn't really require great looks, just bearability and a decent personality.
But damn, every time I watch Next Top Model, there is this little part inside of me yearning to be on that show. I have the energy, the charisma, the lack of a piss-poor attitude or diva-ness, the emotion, the ability to relate to a story, the understanding of marketing... and the height (although I'm about 1/4" too short, but who is counting?). I look kind of average/normal, which is a problem, but I do have big soulfull eyes.
So there it is. One of the main reasons I stopped watching TV is because I was sick of yearning and wanting to be a model and actress. Sick of watching these shows and thinking, "I could totally do that 100 times better."
People say follow your dreams... Years ago, my dream was to have a normal life. I'm not sure what normal really means, but my current self says that it means I need to get over myself and graduate from college before making up crazy life goals like modeling and acting.
TV, how I love and hate you so.

Summer Commences! Portfolio Pages Abound!
Summer is here! And here is my Powerpoint version of my portfolio... It's not complete because I need to scan a number of drawings that I've completed since I did this version, but it's the rough version. I would change the order around too (like, have the renderings/pictures for the show that I actually designed for first). Enjoy!
