Redunculous!

It's 11:45pm and I have actually managed to sleep the day away! I stayed in my apartment, slept and woke for small intervals of reading (as I try to finish Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason). Deciding that a hot meal and fresh air were in order I rolled out of the bed, threw on my black skinny jeans, a vintage wonder woman T and walked down the Hill towards "The Queen of Sheeba" a local Middle Eastern spot.

It was my walk down the hill and deep breaths of fresh air (whatever FRESH is in NYC) that caused me to reflect on the previous day's events. My twin sister and I did a test photo shoot with an amazing fashion photographer. What an experience! Although I don't want to name any names, we had the pleasure of meeting a well know fashion icon who suggested that we do this shoot with his personal photographer. Because this completely came out of the blue and happened rather quickly, I was forced to gather my thoughts and resources with lightening speed! Hair consultant, Make up Artist, Stylist, Nail Professionals at 775 Nails in Chelsea..you know, the works! The shoot was done outside of the Brooklyn Library in front of a stone, earthy, pre-war arch and and immaculate water fountain.....beauty, simply beauty!

I am not a fashion model by any means, so yesterday was a picturesque view into another life all together. I felt so empowered, so gorgeous, so "you go! beautiful black woman!". Those of you that know me, realize that I am in no way lacking any sort of confidence, but what a boost! :)Furthermore, I was thinking "WHO in the world gets opportunities like this?" I keep pinching myself because like I say in every entry...my life is just too fabulous! Two days spent with my sister, honing in on our twin powers, getting glamorous, pretending to be models (although, real life size!), I mean REALLY?? Yesterday was REDUNCULOUS and I had to get it down in the books.
