I'm in!

I made the cut: I am in Eagle Eye!

I'm now on imdb.com, and someone mentioned me in a review.

It's been so exciting and strange...

So they're still claiming me.

It was sweet of Elite to mention my recent opportunity on their myspace and in the press/news section of their website.

Elise's new website is launched!

Check it!

I had to leave early the day of that shoot (for no good reason, it turned out...long story), but I'm so glad I got to be a part of it! Aren't the dresses and the photography beautiful??

And her Spring 2008 Fashion Preview is this Thursday!

New Heading?

What do you guys think of the new heading image? Narcissistic? Be honest.

It's an image from Elise's website--she's the super-cool local designer I met through Meredith. I did the print job for her in July. She only has this one picture of me up right now (until she launches her new site!). I really like the whole style of the picture though--hair, makeup, of course wardrobe (her stuff is beautiful), the black & white, etc.

Tell me what you think about my heading. Be honest.

My Seventeen is out.

Weird. I'm in Seventeen Magazine.

The "Hot Hair Ideas" the cover alludes to (on Ashley's shoulder) include one modeled by moi. Maybe I can help you "Find Your Style."

Just like Rufus & Meekus explain in Zoolander, "Models help people. They make them feel good about themselves. They also show them how to dress cool and wear their hair in interesting ways."

So here it is: My service to mankind. Hot Hair Ideas.

Check them out now. On newsstands everywhere.

Luv Charlie.

My latest work.

:)

I've officially reentered the World.

I worked my first job since Cornerstone today. I'm officially back to real life in the World.

I've come down from the mountain.

Now about this veil over my face... weird. I'm feeling Moses right now. Anyone else?


My job was for Alyce Designs. Another prom dress job. Prom dress & wedding dress jobs have probably comprised a good half of my total work as a model. This job was basically a repeat of the job I had two weeks ago today (the Monday of Cornerstone week). It's been a big multi-week shoot of all of their designs for next year. I was so thankful to be asked back for a second day (a.k.a. another month's bills paid!). That's always a good sign--when a client likes you enough to request you again. And that's where steady income comes from--repeat clients.

Sadly, I got done about the same time my train pulled out of Union Station. So I wasn't on it. And the next train to Macomb is tomorrow morning. It's not really a big deal, except that tomorrow is our third anniversary. But it's okay; I'll be home tomorrow in time for Keith's lunch break. Last year I worked all day on our anniversary (another prom dress job--ha! it's still online!). Keith drove up for the day with me and after it was over we went to Thai Bowl (one of our favorite restaurants while we were dating/engaged & I was living at/near UIC). It was fun. :) Tomorrow, I don't know what we'll do. We're tight on funds right now, so we may be forced to be creative--which will probably be super-fun!

And it's turned out to be a great evening here in Chicago, as I had a wonderful sushi dinner with Marcus and a great cup of tea at the Bourgeois Pig with Meredith; and great conversation with both of them.
