I think i wore her hat in every shot. I really loved the makeup julie did. We moved back to the hotel and set up right away for the next shots. Julie did a touch up after the lunch, and it was so fun on this shot to have the art director tell us stories to make up in our head. I never really understood what an art director does, but wow. It was really helpful as a model to be communicated clearly to about the shot they are looking for. I always find it helps me to model better, when i make up things in my head. Then it's more in character and seems real. It was a lot of fun!

Chesley made the rose you see while i was having my makeup done. She uses needle and thread to sew up big stitches. Her clothes are very child like and theatrical. Now we are off to the location! Pack it all up.

Today i am doing a photo shoot for Chesley McLaren. She is a well known fashion graphist who was working with louis vuitton by making special appearances at events signing her special edition photos. She said she was part of the entertainment of the evening. She was only dressed in black, and she thought she should dress a little more theatrical, so she made herself some "costumes". While at the events so many people wanted to buy her clothes she decided to launch a mini collection. Today we are shooting for so chic magazine. She wrote also a great childrens book. Check out her style.
