Modelling! :-)

Since my last session of chemo, I've been trying to think of ways to perk myself up... and back in the day when I was younger, skinnier and had more hair, I used to enjoy planning photoshoots with photographers, playing dress-ups, experimenting with crazy make up and generally acting like a twit in front of the camera in the hopes that something awesome would result :-) 

I had decided a couple of years ago that I didn't really stand out enough to have something to offer for photoshoots, I was getting passed up for younger, skinnier, more experienced girls with a more unique look. Which was fine by me, I just figured that it was fun while it lasted and I have some cool photos to show for it!

Well, just for laughs, I put up a notice on a modelling website that I used to go on a fair bit - saying that I was now bald due to chemo, wanting to update my photos and create something amazing with makeup artists and photographers, have a bit of fun and hopefully inspire others....not expecting any result...

So I got swamped with responses and am now working out some very interesting photoshoots with great photographers and makeup artists...also the possibility of some paid work modelling for a photography workshop being held here in Melbs...!

What fun :-) hopefully I can help make something beautiful come from this horrible thing...I'll share some photos whe I can...
