Freelancing
So...I've been thinking about getting into doing makeup again. Not as a career or anything, but just kinda something on the side. I do the occasional wedding, but those are few and far between, and it's always for people I know (except for one time, when it was a coworker of a friend). I did a fashion show once, but that was when I worked at MAC. It wasn't a job associated with MAC, but I did it with another MAC artist, so it wasn't independent freelancing.
I'm helping a friend out with a photo shoot next month. He's a photographer, and he's doing trade work for a few models. Since he's a friend, I'm just going to do it as trade work too. I don't want to ask him for compensation, because he isn't getting paid for it either. It's to build his portfolio. I need to build mine too, so it works.
He asked me if I wanted to model, and said he'd be more than happy to do photos for me, but um...no lol. I'm way too fat to model! I'm not fat, per se, but definitely not model material. Maybe if I was the size I was in high school. Buuuutttt I'm not. I got scouted at a mall once in 11th grade, but I didn't follow through with it. It's not like it would have been a big thing anyway. It was some Salt Lake company, I think. But now I'm too old and too fat for the modeling world. Not like I ever would have been a big model, haha. I don't have the model look, and I'm 5'7", so not quite tall enough. I'm super tall in some of the heels I have, but 5'7" flat-footed. But still. It might have been fun. Who knows. Oh well. I was extremely diet and weight obsessed back then, and I think it would have fed into that. It probably wouldn't have been a very good idea.
Anyway, I'm thinking about starting up a freelancing page on Facebook, and then eventually a website. We'll see. Sometimes I go on these idea kicks, but then I never follow through with them. So I don't know.
