help for albinos
Okay y'all pale people - if you want to have a tan without being out in the sun, there is hope out there for you. Expensive help, but help none the less.
Yesterday I tried Mystic Tan, which I am officially in love with. It's a booth that you stand in that sprays sunless tanner all over you. There are a few streaky areas, but I know it's because I didn't towel off as well there as I should have afterward. And probably nobody else would notice anyhow. The color elsewhere is really even and not orange at all, and there are three different levels of tan intensity.
Here's it's 33 bucks a tan, but I bought a package deal that saves me a bunch of money, and I got 6 free tans. Wahoo! I think they just wanted me to stop blinding them. I highly reccommend it, and part of the beauty is that in winter I can go back to being porcelain and skin cancer free.
And hey assholes! Stop emailing me about how I'm selling out and crap! I've never claimed to be "goth", I just got lumped into that catagory of modeling because of my coloring and tattoos. I've always sort of been going for a pin-up thing with the way that I look. Just think of it as me switching from Bettie Page to that hot redhead that Gil Vargas used to draw all of the time. There's a billion Bettie Page wannabes out there, so find somebody else! Besides, you haven't even seen the changes yet - maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised. I don't email you and tell you what I think about the way you look. Grumble. I'm sure by this time next year I'll probably look different than I do now, so get used to it. Mistress Persephone is always changing her look and always looks fabulous, and has a very diverse portfolio to show for it! Honestly, there are a lot of goth models out there that aren't very good looking, and they can do goth modeling because they have long black hair, a good wardrobe, and white skin. I would like to think that there are other opportunities for me out there. And even I find that there isn't, at least I'll look totally bangin' in the meantime.
Speaking of me being bangin', I've been a little TOO bangin' lately, so I've been working out again and doing quite well. I actually gained back almost all of the weight that I lost a few months ago, because I stopped exercising. On Tuesday morning I weighed 139. Wednesday I weighed 137, and today I weighed - 132!! So I really only have a few more pounds to go to get back to where I was, but I would like to get down to 120 if at all possible. Thankfully when I gained weight, I didn't really gain my butt back, and my clothes still fit. Apparently it was all in my chest and waist. At my lowest point, my measurements were something like 36.5 - 25 - 37.5. Lately my measurements have been 39.5 - 27 - 38. Today they were 38.5 - 26 - 38. Not too shabby.
In a few weeks I'm getting my chipped and horribly stained bonding on my teeth fixed, and at the same time I'm getting my teeth whitened. I'm so excited! The bonding has been giving me trouble for years, and I might get them completely replaced by veneers eventually. There is also a makeup counter at Meier & Frank that I noticed sells Dermablend, which supposedly covers tattoos. One of these days I'll go see if they will try it out on me. If it covers, I'll get some and keep it on hand so that my tattoos won't get in the way of certain shoots. A year ago I remember I used to be so pissed that anyone would possibly want me to cover up my tattoos for a shoot - but now I see that sometimes they can really add or REALLY detract from a shoot, depending on the style. If a photo is just really bright and there is a lot going on, sometimes the tattoos are just way too distracting. I used to take it as a personal burn, but from a photographer's standpoint, I can see why now. On the other hand, I've had photographers contact me who want me to be completely different that what I look like, which is just stupid because they could get a regular ol' model to do the same job.
Well that's enough self-centered shallowness for today!
