Black Tie Lounge

ReadySetDC is one of my favorite social networks. Well it's not even a social network but I love the events that they put on. So guess what? I just won tickets to their official relaunch For the Love of DC 2.0. They were giving away tickets for guests that commented on their blog. I guess my comment was the best so I get to party with them tomorrow night @ District. I look forward to it. However, since the wheel popped off my car last Sunday I've been out of luck as far as getting a ride. I'll work something out.

I've been slacking on my pimpin as far as this blog goes. I should have instantly blogged about ReadySetDC's fashion:district but there are enough articles for you all to read and see what happened . Here are my observations: Models spend a lot of time sitting around. That's just the way it is. You do what your told and you stay put until you are told to move. Maybe it was just me but there was nothing available to consume except booze. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Well in this case it was because I didn't eat anything nor was I trying to spend money. I had quite a bit of first times. Most of them I will do my best to never repeat unless it's a part of the job. For one, I had to wear Peter Pans or as most would call them skinny jeans. The designer told me that she wouldn't make me do that but her fiance ended up picking the very jeans she told him not to. Even though I felt every seam of fabric squeezing my calves and lower thighs, my kids had enou...

I love using random images and saying radom things just to throw people off. I guess you can say its my specialty when I'm in the right frame of mind. I spent my night applying to an Academic Counselor position with George Mason and going through my routine of finding modeling gigs on craigslist. As far as the Dream Talent Show I had to cancel practice this week because one of the guys in the band is sick. We had a good rehearsal last week so I'm confident that we can kill it with one more rehearsal. I got a job in retail. The only thing that I can say is that so far it has proven itself to be another job where no matter how hard you work, you get the same result. I'm keeping hope alive. I'm going on my first full year of living at home and close to 4 months without any consistent type of work. I've never seen my bank account get this low. The unemployment office has yet to schedule my screening interview and I was supposed to recieve my benefits back in August. ...

Last week was the birthday week so I only did the things that I was required to do. So, I left off talking about my first photoshoot as a model. It went great. Where else can I get 200 bones for under an hour's worth of work. It was great. This week is going to be just as good because I'm modeling accessories from de*nada for a runway show for Ready Set DC , which highlights the creative lifestyle for trendy individuals in DC. I'm excited because I can add a second opportunity to my resume and do some networking in hopes of expanding it. Peep the promo video featuring the designers of this week's show. fashion:district - Fall/Winter 2010 - Teaser from ReadysetDC on Vimeo .

Today I was a trash man. Tomorrow I'll be in a photoshoot. I got accepted for the runway show and I also have another possible opportunity. I'll tell you about it tomorrow when I'm not dead tired. Here's a video of the runway event that I got accepted for. To be continued. ReadysetDC // fashion:district from ReadysetDC on Vimeo .
