Debut
Is tomorrow!  We had the whole day on the floor to prep, play with our models' hair and come up with our final concept.  I curled Desirees' hair using a pin iron then finger-teased and backcombed it to create the size and texture.  We also practiced the makeup.  Retro Pops focus will be Twiggy eyes, Indie Pops focus will be hot pink eyeshadow and lips and Glam Pops focus will be a great design on the right side of the face.
Desiree is coming over tonight to set her hair and get some stylist-model bonding time in before the show :)  Can't wait to see her own that runway!

San Francisco
The city was alive today!  Roughly 1 million people traveled to SF to watch the Giants Parade.  Because of my great attendance, my teachers allowed me to take the day off to spend the day in Civic Center and watch history take place!  We got there are 4am and there were already about a hundred people there.  It was so amazing to experience the coming together of the whole Bay Area!  Go Giants!

^In front of Civic Center around 4am the day of the parade!

Photo Shoot:

 Today!  :)
Up early to be at school by 8am.  Two hours of prep time and the shoot is at 10am.  Heather will be wearing a long 70's style dress in black, white and grey with feather print, lots of bangles, and a peace sign pendant.  I brought in a microphone and stand to use as a prop.

...More to come after the shoot!

Post shoot...

Heather was amazing.  She WAS Janis.  I couldn't have asked for things to go any more smoothly!  We got a picture of her flipping her hair and rocking out on the mic and I almost cried.  It was perfect.  Thank you so so much to Heather, Jeanne, Jordan, Alex and Jacob for helping my vision become a beautiful reality :)  I'll have the photos in about two weeks.  Can't wait to share them!  :)

Photo Shoot:

I'll be coloring my model Heather's hair today on the floor for my photo shoot tomorrow.  Shes a level 5 red brown and I'll be taking her to a level 5 neutral brown with messy, grown out looking highlights.    We're doing a Janis Joplin inspired shoot so the look is very, "organic".  I'll be doing some of the lightening in foils and some balayage.  Can't wait for the shoot tomorrow!
