Say what!?

So it all started about a month ago... I was in a super Target, downtown Minneapolis. A friend and I were on our lunch break, trying to find something tasty. I was following my pal down a random aisle, she was on the hunt for something with chocolate (we're girls). Down this particular aisle there are two girls, quite cute, and they visibly are checking me out as I walk by. Ok, weird. I know I have cut my hair, gotten a few comments from people who think I'm, uh, well... that I like girls. hehe. I'm a little put off, but no biggie, whatever. My friend and I begin to head for the next aisle. We're not their even there for a minute, when out of the corner of mine eye I see the same girls. Great, they're looking at me, talking about something in my general direction... what the heck do you want!!?? My day gets even better as they start walking towards me, smiling. I nudge my friend... wanna check out? haha, no luck. I'm cornered. First girl - sorry to bother you, but my friend and I just couldn't ignore your amazing style and look... "what?" "really?" "why me?" Those were the first few things running through that crazy brain of mine. Second girl - we don't mean to intrude or be weird, but we're hair stylists and we would love for you to be our model. Again... "huh?" I was so amused with my own stupidity and general feeling of being "lost" that somehow a smile magically came across my face. DANG IT! I'm smiling, they obviously think they have hit a home run here. SH*&T. Ok, just go with it. My friend "that sounds so cool!" So, I agree, sucker that I am, coupled with the fact of free haircut + color + makeup + F-U-N! Girls day come true, right? So a week later I show up, they give a wicked cut, color it up, then schedule my makeup/make-over. I come in later that week, get my hair styled, makeup done (about an hours worth, ugh) and get some pictures taken of my new look in a skyway downtown (as people are passing by). I walk away with a hilarious/fun experience, and the highlight? GREAT hair. Win win. 

Next one - My cousin and I are strolling through the Mall of America. I say strolling because we have no money and the only thing we buy is... you guessed it, chocolate!!! Not just any kind of chocolate though... Godiva baby, they have the most delectable lemon chiffon truffle. Anyway, now that my mouth is watering, on with this random tale. As we go in to a store, the sales person approaches us, asks us if we need help. Typical answer comes out of our mouths (no, we're just browsing). Figure the next thing out of her mouth will be (ok, well let me know if you need any help) So we mumble something like "mm hmm, ok." Wait, hold on... what did she say? Are we models? Hahahahahahaha... no. Come again? In short, I got signed up to do a small photo shoot with a young, talented photographer from the twin cities. Yay! So, I end up going to the studio, late at night, after my cousin has wisely advised me to refrain from taking any food they might offer... it might have date rape drugs in it? Ok, I'll take your word on it. Praise God, no food, so I wasn't tempted, lmao. All in all, really fun experience.

Number three - I'm at a coffee shop, one of my numerous fashion books is lying on the table face up. This lady comes over... "You are NOT into fashion!! You? Someone from Minnesota!?" Ummm, yeah, I am :) Turns out she's an upcoming fashion designer, doing a lot with organic materials. Asks me to be a model. Ok, sure... why not? So, not only do I sign on, but I get my cousin and aunt to join :) We're taking over the world, shhh, don't tell anyone. 

Thus, my life's recent story. It amuses me to no end to think that I have done some "modeling". Never thought that would be... well, just never though it would BE. Cheers to random moments and life's many adventures!
