I've come a long way since my debut as a store model for Carrie's Lingerie. I pulled out the old shape that she and her manager Naughty Princess helped choose for me. I had so many things to learn and working with Carrie and her staff for a little more than 6 months impacted my world in ways I couldn't see then but now in retrospect, I see how valuable it was and how much it's helped to make me who and what I am today.
I loved the job, meeting new people, and the lingerie was beautiful then and even more so with each passing month as the designer improves with each new creation. At Carrie's I had a lot to learn, and my first big 'OOPS' that ended up with a negative parting. I made two serious decisions at that point. First, I realized that my name, as a model, as an assistant, as a friend... my name means something and when I disappointed the staff at Carrie's, I did not represent their name well in that moment, but I also did not represent my name very well. I do not work in the fashion industry to get rich or famous. I do it because I love it. I want people to know me for my good name, not for errors I made along the way. The second decision I made related to that human element of 'explosion' in the face of a problem, and after the explosion passed and the air cleared, I realized I'd let one negative situation blow out of proportion and break bonds that had been building for almost six months. One bad day on anyone's part in six months actually is an awesome track record. If I had it to do all over again, I'd address the issue so differently. As this year, 2012 comes to an end, I reflect back and had to put a Carrie's blog post up so I could reflect on Carrie's Lingerie, Carrie and her staff.
P.S. Ciaobella, I pulled out my old shape that Carrie and Naughty and a few others helped me create, just for you. After we talked last about blogging, I thought your point was correct, and I worked there long enough to know how Carrie liked her clothing modeled. Voluptuous Caryn returned for a cameo appearance. ~smiles~
Oooh, and P.S.S. I still adore the Bax boots you suggested, Naughty. They're still perfect for so many things! Thank you.

This amazing exclusive item,from *RnB* hit close to home. I think artistry runs in every vein I'm related to off line, and I've learn to really stop and appreciate modern art, even the pieces I don't quite understand.
Me in my self-portrait shows the purple from the cute little set of minis available from Demise in Flight in several colors. I found some great boots and leggins, a black undershirt and black poncho and I was ready to look like a painter even if my picture ended up looking like finger paints in first grade!

All sorts of great things came to Liv-Glam this Friday, some brand new, while others were new versions or color patterns of things you may recognize. I also enjoyed adding one of the new hunt items from the PMHH Hunt to the outfit to the far right. The Cosack Hat comes from +Natural+ and is a great winter addition to your wardrobe if you find this hidden treasure.

2. Alice Silk and Lace - Azul
3. Carmen Sequin Top and High Waist Skirt
4. Alex Harlequin Top and Pencil Skirt
Each of these special styles are on sale for Fi*Friday at Liv-Glam. They are all short, but each with a different personality. A short skirt with ruffles settles round your hips and high on the knee in the first while a crisp longer skirt with a layer of lace at the hem decorates the second. The third presents a multi-dimensional skirt that's shorter in front than in back and the fourth has the longest skirt, dropping the hem down to your knee. Sleeve lengths vary as well as necklines, and between the four of these, and at the price they're sold for at Liv-Glam, you're certain to find something to add to your Liv-Glam collection.
