JOHN DUMELO - March 2013

The other day, like 3 weekends ago, I went to an event in Maryland because my friend was throwing a party so i went there to support them.. you know, Ghana love, all the time, right? While there, John Dumelo and Van Vicker were there. Ok cool. I have never met John Dumelo before. While there, i met him and I must say: 1) he is HOTTTT 2) He is ridiculously nice and normal 3) I better go and watch every single movie he has made because i have not watched a John Dumelo movie in like 3-4 years...true confession-- ay yi yi-- can i get African movies on Netflix---what?!?!? Me and Johhny D :)

MARCH 2013

I am still with my same NY agent-- yeah. I had a casting with CONWAY stores, you know- that retail store in New york, they are everywhere, with some lady named katherine. The casting was great the lady was so so so sweet and told me i was gorgeous. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I was not gorgeous enough to book the job. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !! Black aint in this season- what else can I say? On my way to another casting-- CONWAY retail Really though? I really think as a DARK model, it is VERY HARD to book modeling jobs. Will i bleach my skin? no. Will i get a phat weave? Maybe, ha hahah. All you can do is be yourself..going to castings costs time and money becasue i do not live in NEW YORK so each time i go to a casting it is like a $180 event... yep. And then to not get cast means that is money down the drain... HELLO!!! Well in other news, lets talk about GHANA-- i went to GHANA in January and it was AWESOME!!! I got to go to TEMA to see MOB Studios and while there I saw FUSE ODG,sarkodie, Stay Jay, Ikonz,and so many other wonderful people-- oh ATumpan, Possigee of course, Kilbeatz.. it was like a dream made in heaven!!! Ghana was FABULOUSSSSSSSS.. I also made a guest appearance on VIASAT, in case you missed that I will upload a photo for all of my thousands of followers, right (wink wink). GHANA IS GREAT!!! WHy cant i just go model in GHANA?Theres nothing more annoying than seeing non ghanaians modeling for Ghanaian brands when i am perfectly right here...CALL ME OHH!!!Theres a Nigerian modeling agency that sends its models to model in Ghana. Hello, I am Ghanaian, 100%...send me.... Plus means normal size- dont get it twisted people!!!

INSPIRATION

Today i logged into the BLOGCAMP13, an event held in ghana for bloggers- its that simple.And it totally inspired me. I have like 6 blogs, some you will never know i am running and some you will. But like, i dont do it consistently..Well some i do, but those are like my "ghost" blogs.Anyways, i felt inspired by the whole thing. 1) i felt inspired to pay more attention to this blog because surely someone out there is paying attention. 2) i felt inspired to blog more frequently, which i can surely do 3) i felt inspired to just be me, which isnt hard because i am always me. I love music, food, fashion, and toys. So stay tuned people :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2013

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! The other day I was watching a show called CURVY GIRLS, and boy is it interesting. What was even MORE interesting was when I saw myself in the video..Yes, at the Full Figured Fashion week casting, in that episode, I am in it.I am the black girl sitting down moving her hair and filling out paper work. Dont worry LornaLitz, I did not book that casting either. How in the WORLD did I end up in this show--- how HILARIOUS!! Thinking about it now, I DO remember video cameras but i never thought about it again..ha ha ha, how funny.. Well now that same show is casting again.Maybe I will apply I am on my way to GHANA>> WOO HOO!! I can not wait.So excited. A few weeks ago I found a great photographer in my area named Yvonne.The photos she took were AWESOME because I DESPERATELY needed to update my book.When i get the new photos, I will share them with you ASAP, I promise. Last year was a good year.Castings slowed down, but it was okay,Im in school, so it was good for me, personally.Like they say,modeling should be a HOBBY, you should always have a backup plan. I have two degrees, and im working on a 3rd one, so I am okay...so far. I think 2013 is going to be a PHAT year.There are so many great castings in January 2013 alone.Lets see what God can do. Last year, I could be found here: CURVY GIRLS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3RJFHuCSVA ---------------- FORD PLUS CASTING IN MAY 5, 2012, 11:50 am: http://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-curvy/curvy-news/2012/05/ford-new-face ------------------ Here is the Inside Edition Clip: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151110803878969&set=vb.23987263968&type=2&theater ----------------------- Here is the ET!
