Walked Metro Fashion Week
I had an opportunity during the last week of October 2013 to walk the closing event of Metropolitan Fashion Week in Los Angeles. We got to strut down a huge runway at Pasadena City Hall. As a really short model, it was such an amazing opportunity, and yes, my height was definitely the exception there - I had to wear some insanely tall heels. I was one of the models for Kicka Custom Design. She made my and the other girls' outfits shown in the following pictures below. Official image of me shot by David Meister for the show (click to view it in my MM portfolio in bigger size!):  And the runway event itself:    ... oh, and that evening of me trying to get my hair out of pompadour mode (yes, all of that was my hair piled up high!)  Jan 06 14 08:07 am Link Love the pompadour shots. Very Elvis. Congratulations - looks like fun. Jan 06 14 08:18 am Link Fantastic!!  Jan 06 14 08:37 am Link saw this on your fb or tumblr a while back I think, made me smile . What a wonderful opportunity for you, awesome! did you have to take those stairs in your heels?? I HATE runways with stairs!!

Still rough, I'll admit. It's hard not to look down! Jan 06 14 08:49 am Link IDiivil wrote: yes, I understand, but on the runway I see a couple of stairs in the back as well, and I was wondering if you had to take those Jan 06 14 09:10 am Link Anna Adrielle wrote: Oh, yes! Those definitely had to be walked D: And there was low light in some areas of the steps, so you couldn't see them in your periph at all. Jan 06 14 09:13 am Link The official shot, and the runways shots are cool (congrats by the way) but I really love the pompadour images a lot. Those are epic and awesome...episome or awepic, whichever you prefer. Jan 06 14 09:22 am Link LOL @ the last 4 shots. Well done you. Jan 06 14 11:08 am Link Ya gotta LOVE a too short for fashion model who can score the gig, walk away with port worthy shots AND make fun of herself all at the same time. Kudos and congrats to you!!!  Jan 06 14 11:37 am Link Wonderful! Congratulations. Jen p.s. best advice for getting the pompadour spray, styling and mattifyer out that I heard/do is to just get in the tub and get it soaked first, then apply conditioner, soak and then shampoo.

I just kind of played around with it with my hands and messed it up for a set of silly photos. I did a ton of the proper haircare stuff like what you described after I was happy with my candid faces xD Marc Damon Retouch wrote: Definitely Jerry Nemeth wrote: Aw, thank you, Jerry.
