America's Next Top Model

Today was such a busy day! I had to be at the publicists at 9:45am. All too early for my regular schedule of leaving the APT. at 11:15...ok more like 11:45(Been tryin to get this time thing together since Spring 04 ) I had a photo shoot today that I was the stylist for. I must say that it embodied all the stereotypes that you see on television about a fashion shoot. I had a girl act as my assistant that got in my way more than anything else, the photographer communicated like he was the only creative person there and explaining what he wanted was of no use to him. The hairstylist thought she was hot shit even though she kept doing the hair the opposite way of the photographers directions, and the makeup artist was cute but clearly gay (I guess that's what I get for fawning after Metro's) Though all the styles that Johnny and I picked out were hot, the photographer and the damn hairstylist thought they knew best. In the end the pictures came out wonderfully. The most interesting part of the experience was the foreign models who were on their first visit to the US. 6 foot 16 year olds who didn't understand" put this on", I ended up dressing lanky girls from the Czech Republic, and other places in that area. It was like America's Next Top Model in person. I kept hoping Tyra would appear so that I could ask her if she was serious about that song she put out earlier this year or at least Janice Dickinson so that I can see what's preserving her so well. Neither appeared though. Its funny how hair and makeup can change a person so much. They all came in looking like overgrown 10 year olds but left with bouncy hair and makeup that made them look like they were at least 25. We kept wondering why the cleavage just wasn't working and the sequence tube tops kept slipping down but later realized why, looks can be deceiving.
