This is from my style blog, and is worth coming out to if you're a model or a photographer. Why? Clothing swaps are a great way to increase your shoot wardrobe and get rid of stuff you've shot too much in or are no longer wearing. They're also great for building prop stashes (for both models and photographers).

Swamped

Sorry I haven’t written much lately… I’ve been really busy with a ton of stuff going on (mostly work stuff).  I’ve got a ton of drafts started but haven’t really been all that motivated to finish them.  Generally kind of blah about everything I’ve got written right now, so I’ve put it on the back burner for the time being.

If there’s anything specific you’d like to see me write about, add a comment or drop me a line, and I’ll see what I can do.

FWIW, I logged in earlier today and, before I realized I wasn’t me, I posted in the forums as a different user, from a different account type.  Scary!

A Little Organizing

Just did a little reorganization at the top of the page, in case you’re looking for something.  Made it a little cleaner by use this theme’s drop-down menu feature.

I’ve added a new tab called More Modeling Blogs and it’s pretty much just that… a list of other blogs by models.

I’ve also combined the Get The Look and My Everyday Style pages under Inspiration.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
