Runway modeling for BBW
I was selected for runway modeling for BBW. They picked out my looks and it was alot of fun to strut in heels. It is nice break for me being mother of two it is hard to feel sexy. Your up early and you tend to put yourself last anyhow it was nice to feel great and get positive feedback. It great to feel like a woman sometimes instead of just a mom.

My best friend is going back to china
Sandra and I just started open life art classes together and she going back to china to teach.I have gotten used the nude aspect and I realize using nude models really does help with musculature and draping. We are a bad influence on each other we go off diet and get into all kinds of trouble shopping together. She will be missed. As promised I am posting up the beautiful dress below by gussied up taken by the beautiful Sandra.hers is store website http://gussiedup.ca/

Art classes
I did my first open life drawing class. I though it would be awkward drawing nude form but it was okay they had nice background music and warmed up with five min pose so you didn't really have time to feel awkward you were try to sketch as quick as possible. I took years of art however since boy were born I haven't done much. I need to practice more. Even though it's hard to find the time to do so. It wasn't to expensive but a bit late for me. They boy got me up at 5:30am and I was in class until 10pm it was a loong day. But it was fun to get out with my friend SB. http://cartoonistsworkshop.wordpress.com/workshops-2/workshops/
