So the show was amazing! The girls were all great and Steve (the stylist that did my hair) was awesome. Everyone that attended the shows were all fascinated by my hair and their was alot of picture taking, which was a little awkward at first because I felt funny that random people wanted to take pictures of me and/or with me just because of my hair. It was fun though and you get used to it pretty quick. I modeled with a couple of girls that also happen to be singer/songwriters and I highly suggest you check them out.
Rachel is a jazz singer and has a beautiful voice. Emily actually wrote a song that David Cook (the winner of the latest season of American Idol) sang on the show and her song was the #1 download on iTunes that week!
I also met Chris, a hairstylist from Houston,Tx, who had just finished filming an episode of "Split Ends" a TV show on the Style network.
I had a great time both days, but I will say walking in those killer heels was a pain (literally)and sitting still in an uncomfortable position for extended periods is HARD WORK! haha but I can't complain :)
I'll put up pics soon!

Prep Day!
I showed up the next morning ready to work, and of course by work I mean sit around all day. It was prep day so the presentation models were all getting their hair done for the shows the following days and getting fitted for wardrobe.
When Steve ( the man who was showcasing my hair) showed me the colors he was doing my hair I freaked a little bit in my head, but still didn't worry too much about the shades of red. (I'm naturally a light light brown with blondish streaks and, as they referred to it, I had virigin hair). So I let them color my hair for the first time. The color had been custom made for me to make sure that I would look good and that it went well with my skin tone and eye color. However, when I looked in the mirror I almost died of shock. It was RED!!! and we are not talking subtle...
All in all it took about 7 hours for them to finish my hair then another hour or so in wardrobe. I had to hurry out of there to make it to work in time so I made it to work but took my uniform and stuff inside to change at work. My hair was still down ( I was going to pull it back since I did work in a restaurant), but before I got a chance, the owner saw my hair and his words to me were, "What the hell did you do to your hair?". Now my co-workers had just complimented me on it and at this point I was starting to get used to the color so I looked at him a bit funny for a second. I then told him what it was for and he informed me that until my hair was a more natural color he was taking me off the schedule and I would not be allowed to work because I had red hair.
I was furious and pretty sure that what he had just done was a little bit against the law. After several days of deliberation I called him up to let him know my hair was going to stay this color indefinitely and that I quit!
It was an interesting development, definitely not one that I had expected, but I made myself feel better by telling myself I was making more money off these 3 days than I would make in 2 weeks at that restaurant.

Woo Hoo! A Job!
After another day of auditions I finally got the elusive first job.
The auditions were for a hair show and they started out like any other. I had 3 in a row and the first was a cattle call. All the girls stood in a line as the hair "designer" came down the line asked each girl to turn to the side so he could see their profile as he pulled their hair back. Then it was either a "yes" or a "no". Needless to say it was a "no" for me where I proceeded to go to my next audition. This one was for Joico and ISO and lasted quite a bit longer. After a long narrowing down process I was finally chosen!!! Therefore I ditched my next audition which was for Paul Mitchell.
I spent the rest of the afternoon filling out a couple forms, talking with the casting director, and getting polaroids taken. I was then told to clear my schedule and be available all day every day for the next 4 days.
