Promo Gig: A very busy St. Patty's Day

Today I woke up at 830am and took BART into the city, where I wore a green jumpsuit and handed out mints all day. I worked as part of a promotional team in downtown SF, handing out free mints and software upgrade coupons from Microsoft. Yes, I worked for the evil empire. I got to keep the green track suit.

6pm- time for drinks!! Damien and I met at a bartending school on market street to see if we liked it. Full bar on the 8th floor! Very fun- we both signed up after making cuba libres and tequilla sunrises for 2 hours.

10pm- we were hungry, checked out Farmer Browns- AMAZING! big thick sweet potatoe fries, fluffy fried chicken, yummy!!!

TFCD: Photos are not-so-hot

I answered an ad for Trade For CD shoot- a woman who sells scarves and handbags online. She was so nice, her house was so cute, the scarves were beautiful......the photos are awful. She said she had a degree in photography, if so then she must have been taking pictures of landscapes and not people or products! The photos have shadows, jumbled backgrounds....she put up a sheet for a white background, then she didn't make sure to keep the background all white. Anyways, I am on this web site-

Modeling Gig: Aqueduct Medical Brochure Shoot

Craigslist ad- "Attractive female model needed for product photos (SOMA / south beach)"

This product is designed for women to use after breast enhancement surgery. The bra/vest had hoses running through it, the user attaches it to a machine that pumps cold water and cools down the skin. This speeds up recovery from surgery. Thank goodness my boobs are all my own!!
I am now featured on the web site-

Modeling GIg: MAC Cosmetics- Fafi Model!

I was first in line and bouncy and talkative, I got booked for all three weekends!!

Promo Gig: Segway Promo

I rode a Segway around the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco - it was great! The convention was the North American Dealers Association- all the owners/dealers of American cars across the country.....a very interesting demographic. I handed out pens and hyped up GM Goodwrench. We worked hard all day for one day, it was actually a guerrilla campaign, not properly sanctioned for the convention. After one day, they got complaints about the campaign, and we couldn't continue. However, we were booked for four days, so I got paid for four days!! Sweet!!!!
