Something new, something different

Hey guys, welcome to my second blog! Although it is somewhat mandatory to run this one, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm pretty stoked.

This blog is going to track my progress in a project-- better yet an independent study, for a class called WISE (I have no idea what it stands for) that I have been taking this year. WISE class takes all of the material you'd learn over a course of two semesters, and squishes it into one semester. The second semester you have the awesome opportunity of doing an independent study on WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES.

If you know anything about me, you're probably assuming my project will involve nail polish, fashion, or music. If you don't know me, Check out my other blog.

This project actually is not nail painting, or pretty outfits, or my favorite--dubstep.
For my project I will be

....wait for it.....

modeling. 

I am a mere 5'1" and I am going to do what I damn well please no matter what the bogus "standards" are in the real world.

I have always dreamt of modeling; but then again, which girl never had that dream cross their mind?
To be more specific, I will be recreating famous images of people and scenes with myself as the main character in each photograph. (EX: "The Kiss or Audrey Hepburn's "Breakfast At Tiffany's.") I will also be asking the help of some of YOU if there is more than one person in an image.

This is going to take plenty of time and dedication looking up images after images after images via the internet and or the library.

My goals to make this dream of mine a reality are few, but big.

• Portray what is in the original image in my own. I want people to look at the photograph of me and say "oh! thats Elizabeth Taylor in 'Cleopatra'"
• Learn a little bit more about pop culture as well as the history behind these famous images as people. I would love to learn about how the famous "Barbie" came to be.

Short, sweet, and to the point. 

Thus far into my planning for my project, surprisingly, I am fearless.
...but im sure that will change.

We will all have to see where this awesome project takes me!
I am so excited to go on this journey with all of you.
