My Brief Career As A Teen Model

When I was 16, I made my first contribution to the fashion industry during my brief career as a teen model/actress on the local Philadelphia area circuit.  One day in 10th Grade, a local modeling agent came into my school on Career Day and asked for my name and number.  I didn’t think much of it at the time.  Having been invisible all through grade school and junior high, I mostly kept to myself in high school.  I’d just quit ballet and never made a high school sports team.  So I spent most of my time getting papers done weeks in advance for my AP English classes and writing for my high school paper.

High school and everything before that was an awkward time.  I didn’t really come into my own until college.  So you can imagine how surprised I was when the agent called me that night and asked to talk to my Mom.  She said she liked my “look” and asked if my Mom and I wanted to come into her office and talk to her about modeling.  We went in the next day where she told us all about the world of head shots, comp cards, go sees, and portfolios.  At 5’4, I was nowhere near the minimum height to walk the runway.  So I’d have to be a model/actress.  It sounded like fun so I gave it a shot.  Above are some of the photos I took for my portfolio.  It was fun while it lasted, but I was really more into school than being a commercial print model.  However, I often wonder what would have happened had I stuck with it.

Express & Lucky Magazine Cocktail Party at the Cooper Square Hotel Rooftop

In preparation for the HUGE world record Express will be setting tomorrow Saturday July 23rd for the biggest runway show in history, I was invited to a VIP Cocktail Party where I dressed up in some fab Express accessories and posed for pictures in the beautiful penthouse of the Cooper Square Hotel.  Not to mention sipped pink champagne with some of NYC’s finest bloggers, magazine, and marketing people.  Express’ summer accessories totally have me looking ready for Bridgehampton Polo or the Kentucky Derby, especially with that adorable floppy straw hat.  Socialites are never too old to play dress up and I have the pictures to prove it.

You too can RSVP on Facebook to Rock the Sidewalk tomorrow in Times Square.  Not only will you get a chance to be part of fashion history like Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn, all eligible participants will receive a special t-shirt to remember the occasion and be entered for a chance to win a $250 Express Gift Card.  If you won’t be in the New York City area, the show will also be streaming live beginning at 9 PM ET on express.com, Facebook, and the Express Mobile App.  You might even get a glimpse of me in the VIP section in the Mesh Overlay Rouched Dress with the Tiered Fringe Long Necklace.  You will also get a sneak peak of the 2011 Holiday Collection long before it hits stores.
