So, I had no clue where else to put it. If any of the mods think it would be better somewhere else, feel free! 
So I've been wanting to spill this to you lovelies since the day it happened, but my internet has been down, so this is my first chance to. *Type quick, before it changes it's mind!*
A good friend of mine is a photographer. She is just a teen, like me, but she takes art photos and is very good at it. Lots of stuff with people and models, but not specifically fashion shoots. Anyways, she is interning at a big department store here in the US called Nordstroms, and she works with the different fashion designers that supply clothes to Nordstroms and schedules meetings with the designers and CEOs and whatnot for advertising. She will set up photo shoots, too, and book photographers if the designer does not supply one for the photo shoots.
Anyways, she was setting up a shoot with her boss for a Nordstroms ad campaign for summer clothes. Not any one particular brand, just for the whole store. And...her boss asked HER TO BE THE PHOTOGRAPHER. He said that she has amazing skills in advertising and photography, so she would get paid a small amount of what a professional fashion photographer would be paid, but it could kickstart her photography career, so of corse she said yes!
Okay, now to the main part.
I was asked to model. I dropped by her work to say "Hi!" to her, and when I found her in a conference room, she was with an older woman who I figured was her boss (but who, I later found out, was helping her with the photo shoot casting), so I quickly said sorry and turned to go, but the woman stopped me. She said this: (I googled what "go see" and "signed" ment once I got home, but I did not know what they meant when she said it)
"Allison, you can't book a go see yet!" (Allison is my friend, the intern/photographer)
Allison "Oh, hey girl!"
Boss lady: "Wait- who are you? I like you. Walk." (This is to me. I had no clue what on Earth she was talking about.)
Me: Uh, Er, what? Sorry, ma'am. What do you need? Ill just- I'll just go now...
Her: "Walk. Walk down the room. Who are you signed with? And who do I need to call to get you over here?"
Me: Uhhh....????????
Anyways, after going back and forth like this, she realized that I have never modeled for anything except my school pictures, so she started to make a big deal and said that she would book (also looked that one up online: it means to schedule a job) me for Allison's shoot and then she gave me a buisiness card and called me to go in to her office in Dallas to take some headshots (she didnt want my dance ones) and get my stats. She works at this agency called Ford Models, and @BonnieN and @SugarFree say it is a good agency to model for. So, anyways, I just wanted to tell you guys! And I have no clue about anything modeling (except the models I use as thinspo
), so feel free to laugh about my lack of knowledge. Just, for those of you lovelies who are actual models, if you have any advice for me, I will really truely love you! Anyways, if anyone has read this far in my super long novel of a post, I will love you forever, too
I just had to tell you guys!
