The important stuff first....

A recent example of my work:

TIME:
I presently work in Park City as the marketing director for an awesome finance company. I love my job, and I'm very grateful that it leaves me plenty of time to pursue the passions I have outside of the office. I'm generally free after 4pm on weekdays; weekends may be negotiable.

OTHER WORK I DO:
In addition to modeling, I am very interested in styling shoots and in fashion writing. If you have ideas or need help in either of those areas, please send me a message. I've been writing professionally for nearly 15 years, with several awards and numerous publications both within the fashion industry and without. I'm extremely versatile, with enough experience that I know what I'm doing, but young enough that I still have some spunk.

CONCEPTS I'D LIKE TO TRY:
I'm open to just about anything, so if you have an idea, feel free to message me with details. I'd like to do a retro shoot, and something librarian like (check out my photos - the thick framed glasses are real, not hipster), but this editorial featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw is something I definitely want to try - this link is so NSFW, btw:

EXPERIENCE & COMPENSATION:
I have:
-walked in multiple (local) runway shows,
-modeled for print & online (notably, a Gatsby inspired piece for the SL Tribune - http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/entertainment2/56236225-223/fashion-flapper-gatsby-inspired.html.csp)
-been cited as a local fashion & style expert in local & national publications (print & online)
-and posed for/styled hundreds of daily outfit photos.

I love to help out local up and coming designers by volunteering my time and services as a print or runway model, and for most projects I'm content with TFCD. Anything to be used commercially, however, would require a discussion regarding rates.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR ON MM:
I am primarily looking to expand my horizons - to get to know that fashion scene here in Utah, work with the local talent and develop contacts among Utah's fashion and style professionals. I'm very open to meeting new people, encountering new ideas and, most importantly, doing as many shoots in as many themes and genres as I can.

ULTIMATE GOALS:
I'm sure that this phrase is repeated often throughout this site, but STYLE is my one true love and one of only three passions in this life (the other two are writing and taking care of my nephew). My ultimate goal is to break into the industry as a stylist, designer, model or writer (or all of the above). Granted, I think those are the same goals as most everyone else on this site, but the blurb above this bio box suggests "goals" as a convo topic, so there you have it.

MY STYLE:
My style is very eclectic, and the only consistency is my love of mixing, matching and pairing conflicting pieces. Think rocker chic leather shorts with a sweet, country girl straw purse; an oversized grandpa cardigan with a sleek, form fitting pencil skirt; 70s flares with military blazers - you get the point. The best looks come in the most unexpected forms.

My style is about mixing the sweet and feminine with the edgy and tough, the florals with studs, the classic with the modern. It's about dressing however I feel on any given day, and not allowing myself to be ruled by trends and pop fashion. Blazers, sweaters, and sleeveless blouses in oversized or boyfriend fits rule my closet, with fluffy skirts, wide-leg trousers and skinny jeans spilling out of my dressers. Trenches in bright colors and moto jackets in cruelty-free faux leather hang from the coat rack, while boots, wedges and sandals litter the floor. Black, purple and grey have been lifetime favorites, though you'll also find bright pops of color on the most unexpected pieces (hot pink skirts, pastel skinnies, and cobalt blue shoes, for example) scattered throughout my wardrobe.

I strive for the "Kate Moss Factor" in all my looks; to never be 100% perfect - a rumpled shirt, messy hair, mismatched accessories, or whatever catches my fancy on any given day. Perfection is pressure, and I am no diamond.

CONTACT:
Best ways to get a hold of me? Either through this site or via my blog, www.frayed-threads.com, where you can find my email address and all of my other social info.

WILL & WILL NOT:
WILL try almost anything (twice).
WILL NOT do nudes. Unless you're someone I know and trust, you're not getting my clothes off. Period.
WILL try to send you a message back ASAP, with an honest answer, as long as you have shown that you RESPECT MY TIME by reading my full profile BEFORE asking me to do a shoot.
WILL NOT pay you if it's a shoot *you* requested.
