I just got back from today’s shoot and I am on cloud nine. I really enjoyed myself today and I really felt like a REAL model. I felt so beautiful yet vulnerable and that was new for me. I’m usually very serious and strong in my photos so it felt good to show a different side of myself.

When Nicole brought back the books I was so anxious to see my photo because I feel like this was my best shoot by far. As soon as I saw the picture I fell in love with it. I love everything about it — my face and body language evoked exactly what I wanted it to. I’m really proud of myself. Though I had a beautiful picture this week, it was not good enough to win the photo challenge, so I need to really step up my game.

Tonight’s fashion show was out of this world, with creative makeup, hair, and wardrobe. We all looked like beautiful freaks and everyone was pushed out of their comfort zone. I worked the catwalk in an amazing dress made out of metal. I felt so fierce.
