North Haven, Maine

For the first time since 2011, I was able to take a vacation to my favorite place on Earth.  It was a wonderful extended weekend with my family.  I am so thankful to be from Maine and to have such an amazing family. 

Getting Vacation Ready!

The Life of an Atmosphere Model

Recently, a lot of friends have asked me about the gigs that I have been doing here in New York City, so I thought I would dedicate a post to all the amazing gigs I have been able to do since coming here at the end of May.  I work through a company called Tryon Entertainment.  They are hired by party planners to provide models and other entertainment for some of the most lavish parties I have seen!  From Bat Mitzvahs to wedding receptions to birthday parties and graduation events, the parties I have worked at are amazing.  Here is a little sampling of some of the gigs:

80s Themed Birthday Party in the Hamptons - "Addicted to Love" Girls

 

Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party at The Boom Boom Room at the top of The Standard Hotel 

 

 

Rock 'n Roll Graduation/Birthday Party at The Edison Ballroom

 

WeWork Galactic Headquarters Launch Party

I absolutely love working these gigs.  I love getting my hair and make-up done, wearing fun costumes, posing for pictures and helping celebrate people's special occasions! 

Hermes All About Women NYC

Two weeks ago I had the amazing opportunity to take part in the Hermes All About Women Event on Wall Street in NYC.  A friend from college sent me a message saying that a private event she was hired to do was looking for last minute replacements.  She told me I needed to come down to Wall Street right now for a fitting and to see if I was the "type" that the company was looking for.  That was about all that she could tell me.  So i jump on the train and get to Wall Street, right across from the New York Stock Exchange.  Turns out the event is a super exclusive party of Hermes, the French fashion label.  They have me try on bathing suits for about an hour and take pictures of me in them.  Then they tell me I have to rush to Brooklyn for rehearsal, as fast as I can!  So off I go into the NYC rain.  I get to the rehearsal space in Brooklyn to find 7 other girls that are just as tall and lanky as me.  It was wonderful!  We had 3 days of rehearsal before the show and it was so much fun.  I felt like a real model.  We had our nails done, hair done, make-up done.  We each had our own dressers backstage at the show.  It was a high quality operation.

The night of the event we performed our 16 minute "dance" show six times for the audience.  After the runway fashion show happened upstairs, all the guests came down to experience the interactive parts of the night.  There was our swimwear show, another room where there were dancing girls showing off handbags, a man reading fortunes in an Hermes scarf, photo booths and even an arcade horse racing game.  They thought of everything.  After our show was done, we were invited to stay for the after party.  So we took pictures in the photo booths, drank champagne, and played the horse racing games.  I am so thankful for the experience! Thank you Lily and Hermes!
