Last week, I traveled to New York to audition for the New Jersey Full figured fashion week.Auditions were held at the Madison PLus studio.Normally when i go to castings, I wear blue jeans, a black shirt and heels.But for Gods sake, everyone wears that .I dont understand why I should go to a casting looking and dressed like everyone else.so instead I decided to wear something totally different. I auditioned wearing a kente dress.Yep, thats right, i wore something African.its about time don't you think.When i got to the audition, I had to stand in the hallway and waited with a girl named Sally Anne.That girl was so sweet.Speaking of Sally anne, i need to find her number and give her a call.She said she was from FLAUNT Models.When it was my turn to enter the room, one black lady's mouth dropped-- she looked like she was disgusted by what I was wearing.Oh well. There was a guy, some more women and of course the beautiful and lovely AIMEE from MADISON PLUS. I really like that girl-she seems very genuine and real...plus she is a great dresser. They asked me if I had runway experience, took my comp card and asked me to do a half turn..What the hell is a half turn-- am i supposed to know what that is?I don't .so I made something else..ha hahaha, trust me, I was SO NOT impressive at all.BUt i think i looked nice but most importantly I felt good in my own skin.Will i get this job?i dont know.But i plan on being at this fashion event anyways to get coverage on it and to see what the show is like, so I will be there either way.
