About a month ago I became a member of Model Brigade and shortly after Model Mayhem - a friend of mine had encouraged me into this and motivated me into sharing the true me with the camera lens. I admit to start, I wasn't overly thrilled about the idea, right now I am not anywhere where I want to be with my fitness levels as I once was, but what the hey - this will be another journey of challenges, growth and self expression. I already have several shoots lined up, and several photog's I am collaborating with for numerous fabulous and delicious ideas - I really look forward to this, to watching myself bloom, and really having fun with it - I worked like a horse far too long, it's time to stop and enjoy other avenues in life. About Me I was born in Germany in 1978, and came to Canada 5 years later where I still reside now. I am not sure if it's where I come from that allows me to be more open about my sexuality or more accepting of others lifestyles, but I seem to attract people of kinds to my table of friendship and it encourages me to celebrate that I am different from anyone else. I love seeing people push to exceed societies pre-set standards of what is acceptable and what is not. I am what/who I am, I may not be societies stick figured barbie..... I enjoy pushing myself and making a statement by point out to others that no I may not follow the general criteria needed/expected as a model, but I WILL leave my mark, and YOU will remember me.... Growing up a a tom boy I am still getting useto my feminine skin now that I seldom wear jeans, overalls or baseball caps, (though I think that would be fun to shoot lol) I am very much eager in portraying the strong sensual, erotic and desiring side within me through my pictures, just as much as I am eager to portray the determined, competitive and a force to be reconed with presence within my many personalities. When the mood drives me (which seems constant) I can create with my eyes a grand picture where the body follows as naturally as breathing - perfection is nice but the real is true art to me - unedited poses are delicious, in the moment moments - superb! At the moment, I have as mentioned allowed myself some time to devote to a healthier lifestyle, where I am looking forward to bringing my body into a state of zen. Today is day one of putting less bad, more good into my body, mind and soul. I have a fitness goal to achieve and it starts with shedding the additional unwanted pounds of winter blah. I am: 1) Increasing water intake to 3.5L a day (I hate water, but it's a must to help flush) 2) Keeping up on my supplements - (I loath pills, but need the vitamins) 3) Starting Jogging - (Cardio is evil to DD's, but a necessary evil) 4) Getting Back to weight resistance training (Getting back into a routine simular to what my previous trainer taught me) (Fitness Modeling would be lovely, but will see where this goes) 5) Taking Out: Sugar, Booze, Bread/Pasta/Rice (Last three not an issue, first two KILLER) 6) Continue Detox program (Flora-Essence - detox at a cellular level, love this stuff!) 7) Start some Yoga <---- Yikes! 8) Eating More vegi's!!! 9) Buying shoes - (I swear it's not like that.. I own more steel toes than heels..lol) So yes, it will be interesting, but if German means anything, it means hard driven, determined and stubborn as allll hell. I want this, and I shall have it. ~Angie~
