Mar 10th-Mar 15th - Magazine, Test and Website Photo Shoots!

March 10th was National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. "Today, women represent a larger share of new HIV infections than they did earlier in the epidemic, with nearly 280,000 women living with HIV/AIDS in the United States (womenshealth.gov)." Here is a site with information about prevention, testing and treatment: http://www.womenshealth.gov/hiv-aids/

It was  Sunday so I decided to lay out by the pool at the apartment which was nice!

In the afternoon I went to the Melrose Trading Post with my roommate Isabella and her friend which was a cool outdoor market. After we stopped quick at a clothing store that Isabella knew the owner and then we went to a place called Fatty's Public House.

The next day we went to Target and Skittles the doggie came in with us too. Then I went with Isabella and her Mom to Joan's on Third which was a nice deli and cafe. 

It was Gloria's last night in town so we went to Mel's Diner for a late night snack and she played the jukebox which was fun.

The next day I had a photo shoot for Weddings by The Ritz-Carlton magazine July-December 2013 issue! I am not going to say too much since it is not released yet but the location was absolutely beautiful, the photographer was from Milan and so talented and I met a really nice model named Lara! It was a great team, a glamourous day and I am thankful I had the opportunity!

March 13th was Jon's (Mike's sister's fiance) birthday! I wish we could have been home but I hope he had a great day! That morning I had a go-see for Kill City and then one right after for VM Print. Then I headed to a studio where I had a shoot with photographer Tracy Kahn! I was going to try to make it to another casting afterwards but the shoot was going longer so Ford said it was ok to stay.

Ford said that the pictures are too commercial for my book but Tracy said that we could shoot again and I would like to! 

The next day was Pi Day, 3.14! My Mom is a scientist so I had to mention it haha That afternoon I had a casting for a Target commercial and there were a lot of people trying out because it was a big job. At night I went with Isabella to Black Banditz for her to get a tattoo. 

The next morning I worked for Modnique.com which is always so much fun! I modeled clothing lines Christian Audigier and 555.

Later I went to Studio DNA where my friend Erica works to see the salon. Her and her friend Natalie have a company Hairs How We Do It and they did these cool expanded fishtail braids in my hair for their Instagram. Then she gave my hair an awesome blowout so that it would be all set for a shoot I had the next day! 

Afterwards she introduced me to a place called Spoon by H which was delicious and the family who works there was so nice! Then I headed to bed to rest for a shoot the next day.
