A model I am not!!

Unless... I am possibly doing a hand modeling gig for men's gloves or something. My hands are anything but dainty. I did however walk the runway in my Bridesmaid dress from Jen's wedding in the Bridal Fashion show at MGM at Foxwood's this past weekend. I love fashion and all the glamour that goes along with it but I have to giggle when I think of myself doing something like that. I'm just not the type but I will admit I had a great time with Jen and the others and it was a fun experience.

In order to not look so much like the "I don't give a rat's ass" girl that I am, I went and got spray tanned. I couldn't even do that right. I wore boy-cut underwear and somehow couldn't be bothered to stand up straight so the lines are a bit mottled. I have a strange line on my stomach from hunching over like I belong in a bell tower that looks like I asked them to air brush just one, neat and very defined AB upon my belly. My friends and I got a chuckle over it at the little sleepover we had at Jen's the night before the fashion show. I also painted my toe nails...and half my feet a shade of pink that matched the pink fabric under the breast on the dress. Pretty girly, huh?!

We watched chick flicks and ate junk until we almost burst the night before we walked the runway. Maybe not such a good idea when we were already worried about fitting into the dresses 5 months later without the use of extreme force. We managed to stuff ourselves in and not die from lack of oxygen so no harm, no foul.

I have been lucky enough to spend lots of time with my friends lately. I have an almost weekly movie night with one of my friends where we hit up the Red Box for something entertaining and we hang out. I have been to see Sherlock Holmes and NINE with another one of my pals in the past month as well. I enjoyed Sherlock very much. I almost always enjoy Robert Downey Jr. though ever since Ally Mcbeal met her quirky little match in a character played by him on the show. He just has this way about him but all his characters seem to have that way about them... no matter. I like his quick wit and delivery so I forgive that most roles he plays resemble each other.

NINE though is in a class all its own. A fantastic film from open to close. The lighting and camera angles perfectly make their point. The emotion comes right off the screen. Sophia Loren is wonderful and as full of grace and beauty as ever. The scene with Fergie is a masterpiece. The sand and song come together and form a feast for the eyes and ears. Brilliant.

I love my friends. All of them have wonderful, fun qualities and thankfully all of them are so beautifully different. I have friends that accept and love me with all my OCD and crazy tendencies as well as my outbursts of embarrassing behavior, sometimes quite in public. Thanks to all of you for seeing me for what I am and understanding it's all in fun! I think you guys are why I'm proud to say they broke the mold when they made this model for the first time in my life.
