Behind the Scenes at the Day Job

I cannot even begin to tell you how stressful this week has been. It felt like one of the longest weeks of my life! My day job is great and quite fun like 90% of the time, in fact most of the time I think "I can't believe I get paid for this!" But this week was photoshoot week and normally I am super ecstatic about doing editorials and lookbooks... but when you've got 8 hours to shoot SIX (that's right SIX) editorials in one day...and shoot over 400 samples the next day... topped off with a boss who decides to go ballistic hyper micro managing and screams at you in front of everyone during the shoot that you've screwed up... that equals to MELTDOWN.


behind the scenes never shows the drama...
Did I totally go to the bathroom and cry? Yes, yes I did. Did I totally get even more pissed off when everyone kept trying to console me therefore making it worse. Yup, you betcha. I eventually had to pull a little bit of a bitch card, "I don't want to talk about it, I have to do my job, so let's just get on with it, ok?"

You know you see those reality tv fashion shows and you see that one person just lose it and you're sitting at home all comfy shaking your head thinking "drama, drama, drama"... that's exactly how this was. I'm the person you're shaking your head at.

Needless to say, it wasn't my shiniest moment.

But thankfully, this week is O-V-E-R! Forwards and on wards little lady! Sometimes when I'm really down I have to remember there are people out there to help pick me up. But I also remember I need to know how to pick myself up and put myself together when shit is going down and I have a job to do.
