Shallow, Clothes-Oriented Post
Feb. 18th, 2005 10:56 amIn honor of The Gates, I'm all about the orange today. (They call it saffron. What's up with that? I thought saffron was yellow, a spicy yellow. Like mustard.) Another consideration is that I have a training session this evening right after work for a live modeling gig I'm doing next week. I'm going to be a hair model for Suave--a bunch of us hirsute women will be walking up and down 5th Avenue and other places in Midtown arm-in-arm, wearing shirts saying "Can You Tell?" and shaking our long lovely locks. I agree it sounds a little silly but hey, the money's quite good! For two days' work, I'll make what I'd make for a whole week of temping. Anyway, the training is today so I have to look "like a model" (per our instructions) for that. You mean, with my finger down my throat and track marks on my arm? Heh heh.
ANYway, I'm wearing an orange merino wool turtleneck and my crocheted patchwork autumnal colors drawstring skirt--orange, gold, spicy yellow, brown, green. I wish I could post a picture of this skirt--it's one of my favorites, a true fashion score. There should've been a ref standing outside the SoHo boutique where I bought it, with his arms up. Scoooore! And a thong--this skirt kind of...clings to my ass, so I have to make sure there's no VPL. You know how it is. Also have on my brown thin-heeled vynl hooker boots with matching brown tights. Eye makeup is minimal--with this much color, you have to get out of the way, so to speak--your makeup cannot compete with the color on your body, but just set it off. So, pale lips, and a little black on the eyes. Hair is completely loose.
