Photoshoot with Laura Kirkpatrick in LexScene Magazine

This is kind of a blast from the past, so pardon the delay! Last September, I shot a fashion spread with Laura Kirkpatrick (KY's sweetheart from this past season of America's Next Top Model All-Stars) for a local Lexington magazine called LexScene. We highlighted several hotspots and boutiques such as SkyBar, Dudley's, Mod Boutique and Voce' during our all day playday in a GIANT Limo-Bus that took us all over town for the photoshoot. Alicia Calton was our photographer, and I modeled (as well as was in charge of hair and makeup... Whew!). At one point, I even got to put on a gorgeous bridal gown and thousands of dollars worth of diamonds to play bride! What girl doesn't LOVE to do that?!

We all had ENTIRELY too much fun. My favorite moment HAS to be when Laura taught me a trick that "the girls on ANTM used to do to entertain themselves on the limo buses"... She stood me up and we both hung from the rails on the ceiling swinging simultaneously against each other in circles! It was hilarious! There are pictures of this hysterical phenomenon, but I only wish there were video to do it justice! I was so dizzy. Laura, I think we need to get our own bus so we can practice for when we make it an Olympic sport! Haha


I am so happy I got to spend that fantastically fun yet hectic day with one of my dearest friends doing what we love to do - be silly girls! (I am also glad that the driver was able to tolerate us!) I really hope we get to do it again one day.









Here are a few shots from the magazine, and some behind the scene pics too!

Glass Runway 2010




Hello kiddos:)

I got to spend the entirety of this past Saturday in one of my favorite happy places... the chaos room of a fashion show! And instead of walking the runway, I got to participate in the creative process backstage. I'm not sure which end of the show I like best - makeup vs. modeling - but there's just something about the crazy energy in the air, hairstyles I could never dream of, and palettes of beautiful, rainbow-hued eye shadows that just gets me all excited! Oh yeah - and who could forget the fantastic CLOTHES! Which is why when I got asked to be on the makeup team for this years Glass Runway event, I was super excited.

Glass Runway 2010 was a fantastic success benefiting CASA and took place at the Glassworks Building. It featured amazing summer looks from Louisville’s hottest local boutiques on our areas most gorgeous models. The event was hosted by Shea Johnson, Helen Vaughan, Sara Jean Waggoner and emceed by local celebrities Angie Fenton and Kevin Harned. The turnout was incredible and I met so many wonderful people... I can't wait for next year!
