portfolio begins!!!

so I've been wanting to do this for a while, And i'm finally getting started...

I'm starting to do A Hairstyling protfolio...
I have the one pic I did for amanda's hair for prom.. and I colored/cut my roommates hair the other night, which I don't have pics for yet, but I Will have some soon...
And I did an updo At work today, and asked my client if I Coudl take a pic for my portfolio...

i Want to move ahead.. It's really hard working at first choice and Moving ahead, so Hence The Hairstyling protfolio!...

so this is the updo I did for the girl at work.


So this is from The Left side..
I Was quite happy with The Way this updo turned out..


From The right side... after I took the pics, i fixed some of the frizzyness that was in the back.. Her Hair Was Short in the back, And the texture made it a bit difficult to get all the hair to stay! haha!... The Front in this shot looks awesome I think! hahah!..


here is the back.. hard to really see and get the full Effect because of the flash of the camera.... but It Was kinda in bubbles,, with a few straight pieces sticking out..


It Was for a wedding. she wanted somethign a little more simple... I did something a Little more complicated, but so so Much that she woudl be outshining the bride ro anything... something nice, And simple, but that still looks elegant and fancy for a wedding....

(I think anyways!).. :P..


I think I posted thispic before Some time... but It's going to be a part of my portfolio as well.... This is when I did Amanda hair for prom i believe it was..
I think It looks awesome... I don't remember what it looked like from the front though!.. lol...


once I get the pic of brandie's hair, I'll post it. I did it pink and black, where the crown area is all pink, And the bangs are pink, and There are two pieces that are pink on each side in front of her ears.. (The longer part of her hair).. I Cut it to the inverted Bob!..

So I'll get thos epics tomorro probably, or next week....
I'll Let you all see how awesome It looks, because I think it looks great!!! :D...

We were at the mallt he other day, and a random girl Went up to brandie and told her she loved her hair! haha! I felt Proud!.. :D:D:D!!

anywyas, That is all for now!
enjoy!

modelling?

Well, I'm in a place in my life right now where EVERYTHING is confusing... And I'm questioning Everything....

So what am I going to do about it..

there are a few things I have been thinking of... I Realize I never give time to MYSELF or think about myself...and i think it's time i start..

first off... With My career choice. don't get me wrong. I Like working as a hairstylist right now. I Love my regulars that come in... (Most of them) haha... I don't liek the place i workt though... My manager is awesome, but There is so much wrong th first choice that I just feel that I'm not working at my fuill potential and not learning The Skills and techniques That I Could be learning if I were working in a higher end salon... There is a reason why People go to other salons... Is because There are some things that they do/learn/know that You just can't get out of first choice. I feel like If I stay there any longer, I won't be able to reach my full potential...

I Also Want to start doing research on how to get into platform art.. Doing hairstyles for runways and Such.
First things first though.
I have to get My butt in gear and Study for my redseal exam... Even If I don't continue in the hairstyling path, As much as I enjoy it, I Woudl love to still be licensed in all of this.

Which also reminds me to get my butt in gear and send the association money for my new license!
Hard to believe that i've already been licensed for over a year now!

so that's the first thing that's kinda got me thinking right now!


Second of all... about the Title Of this post... Modelling. I have done photoshoots for a friend to help With Her portolio and projects and Assignments for her photography course!..
I Loved it. I had so much fun. And I love having my picture taken. I remember when i was younger, and I use to HATE it, but I don't know why that's changed... So Much is changing lately, And I Want to live my life in a way that i will be happy with it.. so. I have been saving the pictures from hose photoshoots... I Will be doing another photoshoot soon Slightly more explicit than The last few... (No, I will not be nude).. hahah!.... but I want something more in the Modelling Portfolio that i'm building for myself....
I have also been doinga bit of research for "cyber/goth" modelling angencies around ottawa... no luck yet!.. but I have found a few different modelling angencies around here just have to look into them a bit more....
It's something I'm totally serious about doing, And Want to attempt to see if it goes anywhere.. If it does, that woudl be awesome... if not, Then at least i tried, and Know, instead of wondering if it coudl of ever happened...
I have had many people tell me I should model..lots of friends, and Lots of random people... even one of my friends Who was a model.. who has an agent said I woudl be great for it..... It's just to find the right place to start!

What else... oh yeah.. With guys... I have been on dates and such... Seeing people... (not all at the same time).. hahah. And I find myself Not really interested anymore... not right now anyways... afte patrick, everything just goa lot harder, and I couldn't find myself Liking people... And Guys Tend to fall WAY too fast around here... It's alsmot kinda scary... I had one guy say he loved me.. I told him to stop, because i didn't love him! hah!... I just can't find myself loving someone else After Loving patrick As much as i did... And now, the word "love" has kinda lost all meaning to me right now...

I think I need to give it a break from guys... A Break from Work(which I'm not going to do, but i want to), A break From everyone and everything, And Just think about myself for once....

Same with the manager position in my last post... Maybe it is a good idea that i ask angie to try to get me promoted to assistant manager. I mean, Lots of drama and annoying Bitches that i work with will just be a part of the whole package of being assistant manager... and, It may help me in the long run once I'm out on my own.. get me the skills I Need to do something more than just being someone's Employee!!..

again, even if i don't stay in the Hair business, The experience of being the assistant manager will Help me in the future....

There is jut so much to think about.....

also, As Much as I miss home, Maybe I need to think about moving to a bigger city as well... Maybe to Toronto!... I have had LOTS of people tell me TO is more for me.. There is better careet opportunity.. there ARE "goth" modelling angencies in TO... AND, I will Be able to start a new life all over, something more...ME..., not knowing anyone or where anythign is.. Just wander around and get ost in the big city, Making it on my own!!!!......

I have dreams to live out, And If I'm going to go anywhere in life, in followig these dreams, It's time to start thinking of myself, and to start planning on How to get started with everything....

hmm.. I haven't done these posts in a long time... I forgot how much i liked just venting about nothing! hahah!!

What else....
on other notes..
things are a little quiet without brandie here...or at work... I can't Wait til she comes home For her bithday... I will have someone To Laugh at all the randomocities with.. AND, gaxxy Cat(my kitty) Misses her too.. lol..

Also, speaking of my kitty, I'm planning on getting new rats soon!.. At least one for sure..

And.. Other than that, I Have to go Now. I have to work tomorrow, And I have A lot to do before AND after work...
AND i have wednesdya off, And have a lot to do wednesday as well... It'll all to get started on My New path in life!!...

Lets see Where It takes me!
Bye all!

Time Will Show, And Time will Tell!

So... I haven't done one of these post in a while... Where I Just Blab on About Things Going on And such... So I Figured it Would be about tme... I will Also Explain The Title Of The Postless Post!....

So First, I'll Start with my Vacation... It was a lot of fun.. I Flew in To Nova Scotia, And Spent Two Nights there...
From There, Jimmy And Melanie Drove Me To Miramichi....It took a few hours longerthan it should have because A Tire Blew on the Highway, Which Was exciting...lol....
Finally made it home, And Went to uncle Pauls... Had a bunch of drinks, And spent the first night home at moms.....
Day two was spent at memeres and peperes for supper, And Then I Wnt to See a friend that night..
The Next Day was spent with my friend Tyson...I spent the night with him.. Had a sumber party with a bunch of teddy bears! HAHAHA! Good Times!!!..
The Next day, Seen some more friends....

Then It was off to fredericton to See Friends there, And Uncle Henry nd April And The Kids.. From There, Matt Picked me Up, And It Was Off To Saint John... Then From SJ, We Went to NS, Antigonish(sp) For EVOLVE!, Which Was a lot of fun!
After Evolve, It Was Back To Halifax.
Got To see Auntie Anne, Monica, Mike, Amy, And The Kids..
So My Vacation Was pretty great!

I got Back To Ottawa, And Spent The Night With Sean.
The Next Day, I Spent With Brandie, Who is now one to petewawa!.. :(
I Know It's A Great oportunity for her though, And Am Very Happy For Her!

She Was The Assistant manager at work, But She got a manager position.

So Here is The Meaning Of The Lastpost...
Sorry For The Tease Headline Monica.lol

My Manager Said She May Be able To Get Me Promoted to Assistant Manager If wanted It....
I know I Have to Think Of Myself for this opportunity/... But There is just so much That is telling me No, Don't Do it..
1. Someof the girls at work already hate me and cause An Over Extreme Aount ofDrama Since I Became Keyholder... If They Found out I Got an Opportunity to become assistant manager, All Hell Would Break Loose!...lol
2. I Lack The Self Confidence. And I Am Also Very bad at dealing with Conflict/angry Clients...that may cause issues...
3. I know my Manager OnlyReally offered it to me becuase She Likes me and Is Not too fond of the other employees. I don' know if she thinks I Will Be able to do it, Or if she just offered it to me as a friend, and Not as a manager!....

Those are the biggest things.. There are more reasons.... but those are the biggest reasons..

Becoming Assistant Manager However , would mean pay raise...but lots of paper work....

I don't know what to do....I have a lot to think about....

Anyways, my computer is Seriosuly Messed up, So Before I Lose this post, I'm Going To Publish it so I Don't Have to rewrite everything again!...

I'll Update again another time.
bye all!
