somebody called the wahhh-bulance
So this past weekend was the photo shoot for the electric zombie winter line. It was such a blast. Adam is a good friend and an even better photographer. I am beyond excited for these shots. I flew out on thursday. During my layover in dc, I was rushing to my gate. then something caught my eye. A shiny red bright light shining 8 letters. (thanks v)
I had to stop and get it. It was pretty good too for airport food. Airport food is about as good as mall food. The price wasn’t bad either, same as a normal five guys.
when I landed in San Diego, we went right to a bar and had some drinky poos.
Then proceeded to watch Maximum Overdrive.
The next day we went to missions and had breakFEAST!
so good. Its probably some of the best breakfast places I’ve ever had besides waffle shop in orlando.
I got this breakfast burrito with potatoes, eggs, bacon, black beans and chipotle’ sour cream. it came with chips and salsa and this toast that tasted like the bread at macaroni grill
adam basically got the same thing, just not in burrito form and with chicken apple sausage
then we went and looked at the locations he picked. Everything was perfeeeccctt. Checked out a mall where I got some stuff from h&m that they didnt have here at mine.
That night I went out with some of my designer friends bailey bear and raul rhino. I honestly dont know raul’s last name, ha!
Took me to a glorious mexican place and had some delicious margaritas. Checked out Zombie land as well. Such a good movie. the middle was slow and there were some flaws, but nothing that wasnt enjoyable. I was kind of bummed that all of the deaths were pretty much in the trailer.
the next day was the day of the shoot. We of course went to missions again. It was too good to not go again. This time I got the french toast. It was so huge that I could only finish 1 slab of it. It’s way bigger than the picture. don’t be fooled.
it took a few hours to get set up and for people to arrive. But the time passed very quickly. those 2 hours flew by so fast I dont even remember what I did.
We broadcasted the shoot, it was wayyyy too dark for anyone to make out anything,I apologize about that! we had almost 500 viewers, nuts!
all the models looked great and so did the shots.
once we did all the product shots, we went to the location shots. After 5 mins of the shoot, a marine officer pulled up. Then another and another. They walked up and said that a woman called saying we were tagging on their bridge. after about 30 mins of questioning, one of the officers said it was out of their jurisdiction and that the san diego police would be on their way. 4 san diego police cars pull out. so we have 3 marines and 5 cops. at first they made it seem like that we were busted. the worst part of it is, I changed my jeans and left my wallet in the previous pair I was wearing. They asked everyone for their id’s and then asked who drove. I tried to say adam did and he said “no i didnt”. I was so nervous. I seriously thought the whole thing was going to be ruined. About an hour later we were allowed to continue shooting. The cops became friendly and less douchey. We tried to take a picture with them but they said that the US government wouldnt like it too much. Another one said they were going to be on youtube. Some of the models have pics and everything of the event and plan on posting them when I can…
after all the amazing and fun shots we all went to cheesecake factory and had a blasty.
all in all I feel like it was an awesome trip. The best people and models that I’ve ever worked with, fantastic locations, great shots. I can’t express that enough. If I had/have it my way I would LOVE to use the same people next line. Seriously….

I still have so much left to do. It’s insane. I can’t even think of all of it off hand. Posters, postcards, catalogs, line sheets, websites, look books, goodie bags and so on and so on. That and I’m trying to do my book too! so much work, Until next week!
