Into it

Since my return to Canada I have put modeling on hold and started a one year school program that is when I met C online and started the lovely stage of cocooning almost right away.

Developing systems for cooking and cleaning is fun.

Over the holidays I baked tons of goodies, one huge Tourtiere and in the process added 10 pounds to the 10 already gained since the onset of our relationship.

The main reason for not assertively developing my market here in Canada is all the driving around I would have to do. When I lived in Quebec it took me 1h30 hours to get to Montreal and now we live about 30 minutes give or take from Toronto. It's a lot of driving.

It took me a while to transfer from an adventurous-girl-look into a women-look capable of posing as a career women or in mommy roles. I think I am finally at that point where I am fully women. I will always be the adventurous little girl who asks random teenage boys if I can try their skateboards for a second so I can pop a kickflip then continue walking on with a grin on my face thinking I still got it. ;)

8 years ago while my parents were living in Huntsville, I had looked around for an agency but they had said that I was too young for Toronto was an older market. Which in retrospect does make sense if Montreal is more edgy and Europe, the fashion-mecca experience models seek.


I used to be 35 24 36 now I am 38 27 39. Over the next couple of months I will continue to actively play xbox Dance Dance revolution shedding 20 pounds as a dance away. I tried to work out in the condo gym but this is the only exercise I am excited to do and look forward to doing everyday. It will be interesting to see I can actually work off the 3 inch layer of body fat accumulated in my cocooning stage. I will still make plans to put my book together and go see an agency this week. I look forward to entering spring as a butterfly... buff and light.

This said, I have done a couple of jobs while in Canada first in Toronto then in Montreal. The last job I did the client asked around for me for weeks without knowing where I was or which agency I was with.. Its good to know that if I need to be found I will be.
