YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF RAW??? GO CHANGE THAT! --------> HERE!!
currently happening in over 50 cities in the US - RAW is "an independent arts organization, for artists, by artists.
basically, it's badass. and you know my feelings on anything badass.

once again meeting up with my gracious host and amazing artist friend karina gero, we enjoyed ourselves immensely at the SLC RAW. drinks, fashion, sketches, drinks, photographers, drinks, painters, jewelry makers, and did i mention drinks?? it was an incredible time all around!!

while there i also met, and posed for! an incredible group in SLC called the "Sketch Cabaret" (check 'em out HERE! i promise, you want to).
described as, "Salt Lake City's World Renowned Sketch Club. Blending Figure Modeling, Performance Art, Live Music, Djs and Art Showcase" they happily let me take a stab at holding a pose while being sketched.
the verdict must have been good; they invited me back to audition the next week ;D i was sad to let them know that i don't live in SLC.
but i did get some good pointers and a portrait out of it!

like a smart model though, i had done my research and checked his references first!!
shane was a sweetheart, and an incredibly creative individual, and the result was worth the chills, sprinkler attacks, and subsequent third shower of the day.
and of course it wasn't long before i lost what little bit i was wearing..

less than 48 hours in SLC.
i heard the friggen "call me maybe" song AT LEAST 9,000 times!
3 shoots in less than 24 hours.
a car FULL of wardrobe, shoes, and props...
and i could have left it all at home ;D
XOXO
