Mission: Rip the runway... (Part 2)
Thursday, September 3, 2009 at 5:05PM Scene II: The Playbook
So I accepted the challenge. Well, it wasn't a challenge per se -- but to ME, I challenged myself. I have to, this way my approach is DO or DIE.. ALL or NOTHING.. GO HARD or GO HOME! Feel me? Here’s why --majority of the models, I’ve found to be in their 20s, experienced, in excellent shape. Ok. Now, if I’m going to commit to something or dedicate myself to something, especially where my success or failure in the experience will rely solely on me, then I’m going to have to attack the weak areas & make them strong. So those 3 things I viewed as obstacles, that if I can’t CHANGE, I will have to nullify them so that they are obsolete.
Now my strengths I feel are natural. I don’t front, or need accessories to make me or make me feel a certain type of way; I am who I am naturally. I was built a certain way. Though I came from little or nothing, I was always encouraged to have it all. Which is why I do the same thing to others.. I know what it is to be confident & believe in yourself and for others to depend on you. It’s a big responsibility and a big headache – but the reward is bigger. So, I feel like have what it takes to pull this off.. as long as I'm trained and critiqued honestly.
You see, some people are so arrogant that they think they know it all. Their arrogance exceeds their confidence, and they become foolish. But you can never convenience them of that, no, they won’t listen and you probably shouldn’t try. Wish them success, and don’t hold envy or spite in your heart.
With me, I welcome commentary or criticism when it is something I’m trying to perfect. I’m a perfectionist, so I want things to be the best they can be. So quite naturally when the inexperienced male models were assigned a trainer, I became a student of the art. I wanted to know everything that should go into walking down that runway and getting the best results. The walk, the pose, when to turn, where to look, how to stand, the etiquette, the everything! And don’t let me slide on anything! Pick me apart! Because if I’m not trained & I don’t know the playbook, then I can’t score and win! ...and oh yea, I like to win.
