Adding to my resume...

June and July were a whirlwind! I did some super fun things and added a few things to my resume. Scheduling assistant, model coordinator, Hair and wardrobe stylist, and photography assistant! Melissa Darst and I have become such close friends over the last several months so when she invisioned the ranch for the catalog photoshoot I was so there! My girls would be modeling and she wanted an assistant to be able to focus on the clothing while she would focus on the kiddos. I was her girl. Road Trip! Off to college station we went. Don't Laugh...it was an "experience" for me. I have seen cows before, but not like this! We got to the ranch late at night, as we drove up in our little rental car, there were cows everywhere! They were laying right in the middle of the drive and we had to honk the car horn to wake them so they would move! I grew up in a small town but, this was the closest I had ever been to a cow! LOL! They were as big as that little rental car that we were in! haha! Anyway, we get there...get the girls to bed and Melissa and I went to work. Hanging outfits, laying out shoes and hair accessories and finalizing the schedule. We have every last detail ready for the next morning when the models would arrive...then...the RAIN came! Uggh! There we were all dressed up and no place to go! The models and parents were so easy going. We would just hang out and as soon as the rain drops would stop out we would go! We did this all day, in and out, model after model, one outfit and then another! It was enough to wear this girl out! And...I had to be mommy in between all of that too. There I was getting the models dressed, then I would do their hair (loved that part), then I would hand deliver the model outside to Melissa and be her assistant. Oh...almosst forgot...there was another assistant that made a debut. LUIS! I met luis just a couple of weeks before via a friend on FB. He was interested in MVB and I swear he ask a MILLION questions...which was great...and he signed up on my team!! He is the first guy in MVB and I am so honored to have him on my team! Small World...he lives in College Station! We needed another model and another hand...he was our guy! I was so excited to meet him and we worked very closely over the next few days. He and I were Melissa's extra hands. I will never forget the Sweet and Sassy shoot. It is the pic in the catalog that is on a vanity with the tri fold mirror. Everywhere we stood, we were in the picture somehow! The model would be ready, Melisssa in place, the perfect shot and Melissa would say "Shannon, Luis, you're in the shot!" We would move left, move right, back up...we were still in the shot! LOL! We ran around and ducked down and voile...the perfect shot! HAHA! Anyway, long story longer...days at the ranch and a few southlake shoots and a trip to Colorado later...the catalog shoot had wrapped! I had a BLAST wearing all of these hats! Fell off the sales band wagon during these 2 months, but continued recruiting for my team and booking shows for fall in the mean time. And...my team still rocked it in the top ten! That is June and July...now onto August! The Fall 2010 Launch!!!
