OMG! OMG! OMG! My shot is tomorrow. I am soooo nervous. I feel so not ready for this. I had wanted to loose a few more pounds, but that didn't happen. I wanted to make 2 dresses and a halter/shorts outfit, I only got one dress done AND I don't have shoes to match. I didn't get my big, puffy crinoline in time, so I only have a smallish crinoline. I meant to get my hair trimmed, but my stylist couldn't fit me in. I'm going to have to color my hair tonight, so the bright white hairs don't glow under the lights :D My stomach is doing flips and jumps, ladies!

Kami I've been thinking about you and wondered when the big day was! Just think.. it's your first go, so you'll know more what to expect next time and you'll be ready with all your items you want to make. Just chill sweetie, and enjoy your day!

OMG!!! It was so much fun! She took over 300 photos. I'm uploading the 2 disks as we speak. She loved all my outfits, was fascinated by the make-up process (doesn't wear any herself) and was impressed by my ability to do an updo in 10 minutes. She said I was a natural and that my face was very expressive, basically, the easiest model she's ever worked with. As soon as I look through the pics, I'll share some of the best ones.

The blue gingham dress was the best outfit, I think. The teal cocktail dress from my NYE party was the least flattering, but once I threw on grandma's fur cape and the photographer's silver gloves, it turned into a knock-out. The outfit that surprised me was my new scottie blouse (shown in th "show us what you made" thread) because the color just didn't work in the lighting. She was also surprised it didn't photograph well because she said it was her favorite outfit in person.

Oh I love the Hurrellesque one on Flickr--with your hair spread out! The wagging the finger one is great too. Good job!
