It's just me and the dazzler in the mirror

ALAS!!! A conclusion was reached, that would of course be of mutual benefit; The article being published in exchange of her modeling in an editorial feature in HauTe.

This wasn't actually a problem, she's quite the "hottie" 6ft and everything! Also, her "connections" should do well for the magazine and even make work easier for me *mysterious grin*, as she volunteered to set up the whole shoot and have her photographer friend {who has shot like every ANTM model you can think of} do us the honour ...set up this pretty studio, makeup artist, stylist, EVERYTHING!! all I had to do was, hook her up with the designers. Weeeeeee, excited me - could have been 1st professional shoot i'd be directly involved with *sigh*. Everything went jolly for like 3days!!...I mean she called me E - VERY - DAY. I know it's not her business, but i'm not really a "talking" person....BUT hey, I did love this ladys persona. She was fun and cool to talk to, no denying. It just seemed like our conversations started becoming repetitive - talking about the shoot and what needed to be done and all that, not only on the phone, but in emails too {she writes LOOOOOONG emails...Okay, maybe I'm not much of a reader too, have I confessed? LoL}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Finally, everything was in place, everyone involved with the shoot knew the roles they were playing, and i'm sure were certain of the deadlines. The designers only had to make 6 - 8 pieces, and had a week to let us know what the colours and styles would be. Lady Unique, seriously commited to the cause had to URGENTLY {I'm guessing} let the stylist know what colours the designers were looking at, to co-ordinate with the ensemble. ERRR, One thing - Designers were not available {They already knew their deadline, and were nowhere near missing it, only that, they didn't want their creative juices interrupted} I Understood, and just left MSGes for them to get to me as soon as they could, leaving me to deal with Ms. Unique *sigh*

Thursday and Friday came, and I told Lady Unique what was going on and as soon as I hear from them I'll let her know what their colour picks are. I was sure they'd get intouch at least after the holiday {Labor day weekend}, Yet she kept calling and emailing, this time I had run out of things to say, and decided I did not need to talk to her, until atleast something came up, Good or bad!

<---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The designers finally called!!!! Telling me Lady Unique had been calling, and leaving threats about cancelling the shoot because I was not picking up or replying her emails {This was the darn weekend, PEOPLE!!}. Relieved to hear from the designers, I told them to just give her a call and let her know what the colours they picked were, so she could immediately contact the stylist! Silly me, I told them to give her a MSG {Obviously i'm not much of a liar} to tell her that neither my phone or internet is working {LIE, well half lie - my internet wasn't working}, but they were able to get intouch with me through a mutual friend and I will get intouch with her as soon as I could {I just thought it was courteous, and will calm her down to know everything is fine, we were still VERY MUCH on schedule!! no need for the pan!cs}...OHHH did I regret that!!!!...Next thing I go out and check my email....and it's this LOOONGGG email of how unprofessional am being, talking about my internet is not working, but I was able to comment on a certain blog, YES U READ RIGHT, she was keeping tabs on me on the internet!!!.....that I did not only comment on the blog, once but TWICE.....Haaaaa, I first of all thought WTHH....AHHHHHHHHHHHH, then I got a bit worried, Like why is she being impatient!!! {I guess she was just upset I tried to play with her intelligence, but then again maybe if she had relaxed till mondayy, anyhoo} I refused to reply such an email, not just for the fact that I was speechless, but who replies that kind of ranting email? {LoL}


I wake up the next morning and it's ANOTHER email {LONGGGG}, WARNING ME that If I don't get intouch with whatever by Tuesday {which was the day I intended to get intouch - holiday was over} she'll cancel the shoot. Then, I realised I must have given her the impression that this was a life or death matter for me, and she must have really thought so, because HRS later, she wrote an email CC'in the designers insulting my life and looking for every possible way for them to think I was a fraud {I'd love to share emails - but feel free to walk in my office, they are now posted on the wall as my inspiration}.


Fortunately, the designers found her just as irrational, and we agreed to postpone the shoot and have her not be involved in anyway. I couldn't have been more devastated, this was definately a 1st for me, coming across such a character, I was quite drastic too, I changed my phone #, LoL If I could change my email I would have, went into shock for a bit, and realised that I better becareful and know that the sanest person I could ever trust ...is the dazzler in the mirror!
