SMD!...I have so much to say...but this has been a 16 hour day on set and I'm beyond tired so im gonna just give you all a spoonful instead of the scoop tonight! LOL (you like how I did that...funny huh?!...ok well maybe not but give me a break I'm running off of fumes at this point!)
Ok....so as you all know I've been a styling assistant with Runway Ready for an independent film called, "Blissful Lies". The movie stars Emmy Award winning actress, Leann Hunley (Days of Our Lives). And, in the past two weeks I have learned and grown so much!
I came into this opportunity with not a lot of experience, especially of this magnitude. I mean, I've done fashion shows but I've never had to style for a movie so this has been a great learning experience for me! It hasn't always been easy and I definitely haven't always done everything right, but you have to start at the bottom and make those mistakes in order to reach success in the long run! But, man! What a ride it has been so far!
Because of my open schedule (I'm only taking 9 hrs this semester in school) I have been able to devote a lot of time in helping Fanitsa (owner of Runway Ready) which has been great for me because I've been able to really be hands-on and see what its like to be a professional stylist in the industry.
Oh! and they even asked me to be an extra in the movie (ugh...it was last minute because they needed some extra bodies but honestly I really wasn't emotionally ready for the task...my hair and outfit was NOT how I wanted it!) LOL...that's just the vain side of me talking. I actually had a REALLY good time doing it. It's so hard not to look into the camera tho, I mean it's like seeing bad a wreck; you know you shouldn't stare, but you just can help it! But it was a good time and I'm excited to see how it all get's edited!
I'v been having a great time getting to know the cast and crew and conversing with an Emmy Award winner is pretty cool all in of itself! I had an epiphany tonight, riding in the car on the way home, I just can't believe that this is the life I'm living right now! God has really blessed me with some great opportunities and great fashion mentors, like Fanitsa, to look up too and I couldn't be more grateful! It's so A-mazing!
But anyway SMD, it is now 3:50am so I'm going to go ahead and wrap up this post. (Have I been babbling?...I'm so tired I'm not even sure as this point). I will try to keep posting updates and pictures to my twitter account and keep you guys updated here. When the movie is done shooting I'm going to give my SMD's a better overview of my experience (in Detail!) and address things that I've learned that maybe could help future stylists and fashionista's out there! So, as I say after each of my posts...Stay tuned!
GOOD NIGHT! xoxoxo
