Hi, I’m Chizumi or Chiffon, either one is fine to use.

I would say I’m a newbie all over again; it’s been a while since I modeled and frankly I feel like the ol’Chi spirit has dwindled. 

The story is, I had cancer and my body is finally recovering from all the stress it’s been under, but I’ve also lost a lot of my self-confidence. Very little hair fell out, only my bangs, some from the center and the back of my head. So, I put hair in intentions to make it look fuller. My skin completely dried out…mostly in my face and hands…and I put on a little weight, which is good smile. …But I need to tone.  I don’t feel the same anymore.

I love modeling, but when I get in front of a camera now, I blank out and it takes a while for me to get comfortable. So, needless to say…I need a little guidance please.

Maybe, a few new poses….make-up tips? Maybe even help me with styling….what looks would benefit me and what looks I should avoid? 

So please, take a look at my port and give me some feedback, tell me what I’m missing or what I’m doing correctly. smile

I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you.

Chizumi.

*Waves.* Hello

Hmm hair conditioner? Well, thats a new one...any brand I should get or any one will do....I do use coco-butter sometimes, but I find it too greasy on my skin..and it stains my clothing.

Thank you very much for that little tip. smile

Oh no! I hope not, it's nasty stuff...I'm so glad that they caught your skin Cancer before anything major happened. I have the same problem in my family, all the women get it...I would blame the who bombing of Japan and nuking the poor kids...but I think my great-grandmother had it before then. I'm not sure, my grandma passed from ovarian cancer last August.

Oooh! Too much sadness in this topic.... Hmm Hair conditioner...I am totally giving that a try, it sounds fun. smile

Chizumi.

P.S - You're simply Gorgeous!
