We had so much fun on this shoot! This was Eileen’s first time modeling, if you can believe that, and she looks like she was born on in front of the camera. Crystal (of Article Salon in Roseville) did some amazing things with Eileen’s asymmetrical platinum coif. The too adorable Tyler & Christina took my left-field neo-noir ideas and made beautiful art out of them. Christina also rocked the makeup and brought out the luminescence of Eileen’s skin. Tracy of Vintage Found did such a great job finding 80s vintage inspired by 40s futurism that my styling job was hardly a job at all. Skills! Thunderhorse Vintage provided the blue/black jumpsuit and the amazing sequin blouse (which totally reminds me of this cyberpunk gypsy dress from the Glamourai). Thanks all! I am THRILLED with the results!

Also, please take note that two items from the last PHDC photoshoot , found here and here, are up for auction at the amazing Market Publique (exclusive auctions for only the best vintage! Prices are easy on the eyes too!) at a fraction of their original prices. Calm down, ladies.

check me out: sacramento’s next top model

I had an awesome time at the photoshoot for my Sacramento Magazine interview because the photographers, a young, keen couple who called themselves Tyler and Christina (coincidentally also the name of their photography company) were really excited and passionate about their work. And on top of it, treated me like a bona fide model. I was totally ready to hear Tyra call my name FIRST. (Hmmmm….I think maybe I’ll try out next season! To do list: Grow 3-4 inches taller, become 8 years younger and stop eating… uh… food for a month.)

Tyler and Christina were nice enough to send me the non-copyrighted images from the shoot. More to come in approximately 90 days. I know you’re all feverishly counting the minutes.
