142 If you haven't seen yet ...

My new California family {I adopted myself to them ... it's a new thing} just posted the lookbooks from my time with them last week! Just looking at them makes me miss the heck out of those guys. Aaand wish that I could backtrack and do it all over again! Gracious it was fun.
Wanna take a peeksie?

And cause my pal Vu is super speedy Gonzales, here's a special sneak peak of the behind the scenes video coming out next week!

It looks like you had so much fun! And you look gorgeous of course! Happy Wednesday :)

Jhan April 20, 2011 10:45 AM  

So, funny story... I just saw this video in my facebook newsfeed after Threadsence posted it. After seeing the thumbnail photo (freeze frame), I though, that Black and white head shot looks JUST like Sydney's husband... then lo and behold I read the little description and I see that this video is all about you.... Looked like a fun shoot! :-)

How come you didn't wear your garments? It's been driving me nuts that you so talk about your religion yet when put under pressure to modle a look you take them off to wear tank tops in the shoot?

motherhood.wellness April 17, 2012 4:50 PM  

you know when you go to the doc and suddenly, with horror, you realize that you wore your granny panties? its kind of like that. plus, if you show up at a photo shoot wearing an extra layer that can change the look of the clothes or completely limit what you can actually advertise, it kind of defeats the purpose of the photo shoot. also note, the tank top was underneath a sweater. its not like she was flaunting major skin.
