My Future Starts Now.....

Close my eyes...Is this real...This disbelief...Take my pill...Cant I hide...Cant I run... Cant this slow down for just this once...Because its cold alone.

-chorus of one of my many written new folk songs-

-No better words discribe my emotions right now after finding out potentially life changing news about someone I have spent my whole life protecting...To you I wish I could take it all away and I love you.

-Last night The photographer of my latest photoshoots -Nate Evans- came by with the final pictures he took for my Beacon project. We sat for a few hours making corrections, criticizing angles and expressions, sharing oppinions of the final shots, playing music, talking about ambitions for the future, planning future photoshoots, and for me realizing I was surrounded by some of the most amazing, undiscovered talent anyone could be around. If your unfamiliar with http://studiofiascoblog.blogspot.com/ I suggest you check it out and get involved.

-What started out as a time to finalize pictures turned into a opportunity to unleash artistic expression and ignite the fires of creativity. Ideas of future photoshoots overpowered our discussions and the sound of future musical endevors echoed through my house as if we had just unleashed the flood gates of a bottled up desire to create, accomplish and explore. It is such a breath of fresh air sharing rooms and conversation with creative and talented people no matter what there form of expression is. Nate will definatley be apart of my future in photoshoots and If I get my way (Ive been beggin' him) he will definatley be apart of my future musical endevor.

-Nights like these leave you energized and refreshed to change the world. Look for it in the future because its going to happen. I "will" be the best and I will be damn suprised if Nate Evans isnt as well.

Here We Go Again..

Alright I am trying my luck at another photoshoot with some really cute and fun girls.. I really enjoy being a hair stylist and I am really enjoying going to school. More than anything I want to take full advantage of my time I have to learn and grow in this industry. Sooo with any luck and alot of help from some really good friends.. I should have an amazing time and experience. The photoshoot is for a program called beacon. If chosen I will have the amazing ability to attend classes with some of the top stylists in this industry and further my education as a hair stylist. We were told about this project a few weeks ago at school and being as ambitious as I am I couldnt pass up the opportunity. Since I feel like I have joined up with some really amazing people to make this happen. Mimi Ruiz-Make-up artist..Megan Danner-Hair Stylist/Instructor.. Nate Evans-Photographer.. Ashley Williamson-Model.. Brittney Bright-Model.. Ashley Dumas-Model. Thanks to these talented people hopefully I can become one step closer to a dream.. Watch for pics to come..

L.A Bound..

Recently I had the opportunity to go to L.A with my school to visit some really cool salons and also go to the ISSE in Long Beach. Immediatley when I got off the plane in Long Beach I realized something that I always do everytime I go to california and that is.. (its perfect)... It was so nice and I think within 15 minutes of us being there we all had traded our winter Utah clothes in for something alot less warm and a load more summer oriented.

We landed on Saturday and headed to Hollywood for some shopping and and then to Rodeo drive to check out some really high end, modern, trendy salons and get a feel of the atmosphere we could be working in someday. I loved it I love the casual yet confidence of the place. Cool shops with really crazy contemporary decor mixed with the comfort of small coffee shops and restuarants which I am sure are spendy as hell to eat at. Either way this was exactly what I think I needed to continue to motivate me and push me in the direction I am planning on taking.

The next day was the show and it was really amazing. Its crazy how huge the expo was and how cheap some of the products were too.. By the end of it all we all had huge bags full of all sorts of cool things to try out and use. Im glad I got it all in my suitcase.. haha

The most influential time of the whole trip was being invited to sit in on a class taught by Phillip Wilson. It was such a great experience to watch on of the top masters in the industry style cut and demonstrate techniques of becoming a stylist. I admire his drive and passion for the industry and more than anything I appreciate the opportunity to learn and be taught by one of the best. -Thanks Larry Curtis-...and Thanks Phillip Wilson

After that we had the time to spend hanging out @Disney and the beach I opted for to go hang out with my friends who live in Hollywood instead of Disney but I wasnt missing the beach..
