Cougar Tales

I needed to pick up some underwear today at Macy's for my test shoot on Wednesday and lo and behold, an OC cougar crossed my path. I was hoping for a quick trip in and out of the store but as I got to the checkout, I could see this wouldn't be the case. The clerk began asking me "harmless" questions when she saw my Minnesota driver's license, if I lived in the area, how long I have been here, how I like it so far. My kind nature couldn't help but answer her politely with a smile. :)

My week in Orange County

I'm excited for this weekend because I will be going home to Minnesota for the first time since moving to Huntington Beach in mid-June. My parents have their 50th wedding anniversary so I'm looking forward to spending some time with them. Before that though I will be busy with several business meetings this week and a photo shoot with Ray John Pila. Check out his work at www.rayjohnpila.com

My apartment still looks pretty barren but I did make the effort to get a nice tv this week. Next project, replace the beach chairs with a nice couch or fold-out bed! Working on getting some plants for the balcony and I'm planning to bring back a kitten from Minnesota on my return flight!

Once I return to OC I will be submitting my new pictures to several local modeling agencies as well as going to their open calls in hopes of getting on a men's print board.
