Hey everyone!

Excuse any spelling mistakes, these are my nails right now…

Completed nails will be done tomorrow! I’ll be modeling at the ABA show in Toronto and I’m sooo excited! I was thinking of what to pack and thought I’d share with you what I bring when I do a gig.

Ten essentials for my modeling bag:

1. A very large tote – to carry all your essentials, duh!

2. iPod/ iPhone / charger – you dont want to be caught with a dead phone, especially on long days.

3. Water / snacks – usually it’s provided for you, but when it reaches 3 p.m. you’ll want an energy boost (i.e. granola bar or mini carrots). Remember to drink lots of water to stay hydrated and to keep your skin lookng great!

4. Slippers – I bring slippers to EVERY modeling event. I like being comfy and for my feet to rest from wearing six inch heels when I have down time.

5. Books / Magazines – there’s always a lot of waiting involved, so keep entertained.

6. Extra pair of black pumps – two years ago I fainted on stage because the shoes given to me were two sizes too small. It cut off all my circulation. Now I always bring an extra pair just in case.

7. Make-up remover wipes -I use public transit and sometimes I don’t want to go home with a pound of makeup.

8. Extra make-up – your favourite moisturizer, foundation and mascara usually.

9. Extra underwear – beige and black. Specific underwear is worn with different coloured outfits.

10. A positive attitude – I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worked with models with sour attitudes. No one (makeup artists, photographers, designers, etc) wants to work with a diva. They are never called back again. Be polite and respectful of everyone’s time.
