My experience with modeling has been very complicated. I remember the first time I started modeling it was here in Philadelphia. I was in a modeling troupe that taught me all about etiquette, meaning how models should sit, walk, pose and speak. I really loved it and it was fun: How many people can say that they did what they dreamt of doing. But everything always not that easy I started thinking it time for me to go. I mean I really learn a lot from there, As time moved on I figure that it wasn’t going any where, so I started thinking it time for me to go, it was things and photo shots that was promise that never happened it was money as well that never happened. I should have done my research.
I was kind of hurt about it because I was only 16 years old, an age at which, like most teens I was trying to find myself. Modeling was and still is something I want to pursuit because I love the creativity in fashion and in photo shoots, I can be someone else. So after that I wanted to give up on modeling, as we all know it’s not easy to give up on something we love. So as time moved on, I built my portfolio took pictures and shot with different photographers, over and over again, I heard the same comments: Great bone structure and I have the look, go to New York someone would bound to sigh me there photographers would say.
I really was excided to here that but at the same time, when it comes down to the entertainment business it either modeling no work or school. I like working because it pays my bills. If I would have put all my time in to modeling I wouldn’t been able to eat so there for I would have sacrifice a lot. So I never made it to New York.
How ever, I start doing hair shows. I enjoy hair shows because there: I can do what I want and there are no runway rules, and I can play a character on the stage. I’m a dancer and a hair model for one of the top hair stylists in Philadelphia. She wins show after show after show. Her name is Erica Williams. We have competed in number of competitions and won over 50,000 dollars, and one of the most rememberable moments I haven is I had a chance to perform in one of the biggest hairs in the world, Bonner Bothers in ATL, that was in 2008. We did get cheated. To all my readers I’ll leave you with this. We are in rehearsal and we’ll be visiting ATL in 2011 to take back what rightfully our!
