These last few months have really flown by, I can't believe it's already half way through May, which means we are almost half way through 2011 ALREADY... its crazy. Not much has changed. Still working at the Soho Grand, although our outdoor space, The Yard, is opening and I will be working out there, just as I started last year. The only difference is I will be serving 2 nights a week and hosting 1 night. It will be a good change, money wise and also a change of scenery and people. I'm not sure why, but I am always in a constant need of change. I used to hate change, but maybe since I have moved to New York it has changed my thinking. I am not in once place for long and there is always a change somewhere in my life. I have found it to be refreshing though, I'm not sure if it's the people or the city it's self, but every few months I feel like something should change drastically.
Sometimes this change isn't necessarily what I wanted though. For instance, I just got my hair cut... really short, like an inch below my chin. I was not too happy, but my agency thought I needed a "style". I guess they just didn't understand the concept of me wanting to grow my hair out. Oh well, it is after all only hair, and will eventually grow back. Looking on the optimistic side of things, it will be great for summer. It would always be up in a bun anyway from the disgusting summer heat.
Some fun things I have had the opportunity to do in the last month was see my first real concert/show. It was The Thermals, I went with a friend and we took a bus to New Jersey. Needless to say, it was pretty awesome. I also had my debut on TV on a recent episode of Law and Order - Criminal Intent, it was fun and interesting to see how that aspect of entertainment works.

For Easter, my friend and I painted easter eggs which was messy, but fun. I used to always do this with my family as a tradition. We would then have the eggs for breakfast over the next week. That's not quite how it happened this time around, but we definitely had fun dying them.
One last "new" thing I did recently was eat at a soul food restaurant. There are TONS in Harlem and I never really had interest in eating at one. But on mother's day some friends and I were hungry so we decided to go to one for brunch. It was the most disgusting yet delicious food I have ever experienced. Picture is self explanatory.
As far as modeling goes, it's been pretty slow. I have done a few test photo shoots and am a fit model for one designer right now. Work should pick back up next month though for showroom. And then once september hits, it's fashion week all over again. I will also be going home next week for my mom's wedding which should definitely be fun/interesting. Going home is always an interesting experience, but I love seeing my family. But I am mostly excited for what's to come when I get back to NY. This summer will be EPIC.
