...I will be a swimsuit model

Well today is the day. I have been half terrified and half ecstatic waiting for it to come. Three weeks ago, a friend I met two years ago called me up. Her name is Heather Fish and she designs beautiful one-peice swimsuits called Pearl Swimwear. She had remembered that I just moved to Utah and was wondering if I would "do her a favor" and model one of her suits on "Good Things Utah". Well, for any of you who live here or have visited for an extended period of time, you know that this show is kind of a big deal here. I was so excited, ever since I moved here I have been trying to think of a way to get on this show and who knew all I had to do was answer my phone.

The bad thing about wearing a swimsuit on local television is that no matter what shape you are, you start having this body-conscience thing happen. Immediately, I went out and filled the fridge with healthy food and made a plan to workout everyday for 3 weeks. Well, the healthy eating plan didn't last long and the working out thing ended up just being half as much as I planned, but for me I think that was pretty good. When will I ever have willpower?

Last night I had my fitting at a modeling agency (3 girls are real models). And let me tell you, it was indeed terrifying. It was everything you imagine an agency to be. Naked girls trying on swimsuits in a room. Loud dance club music blasting and an incredibly intimidating catwalk down the middle. Luckily, they didn't make us practice our walk.

So, I am about to leave for hair and make-up. I really hope I don't fall today and I hope these nerves relax by the time I get there. Wish me luck. I will let you know how it goes and if it isn't a disaster, I will send you a link to the clip.
