Can you believe in 72 hours I’ll probably be eating lunch in New York City somewhere with two of my favorite people?? I’m getting really excited! We got an HBC update email this morning and I’m really excited because it had a bunch of details in it and as bad of an organizer I am at times, I LOVE to know what’s going to happen.
So here’s a few fun facts:
- My shoot is scheduled for 2:45pm. Due to the size of the studio probably not everyone is going to be hanging out there all day. Originally I was thinking Sunday would be “studio day” but now it’s looking like it’s going to be “studio a-few-hours”. Which the more I think about it, might be cool because that just gives us more time to sight-see and shop!
- They’re scheduling a dinner Saturday night. As long as it doesn’t interfere with our Broadway plans, we’re in.
- We still have Some Studio (http://somestudio.com)
- Our photographer is Bill Wadman (http://www.billwadman.com)
- Our make-up artist is Jillian Villifane (http://www.jillianvillafane.com)
- I have to do my own hair. Which may be scary. I’m actually going TODAY to get my hair cut! I’m going shorter! Kind of scary to do 4 days before a photo shoot but I trust my stylist that much.
- We will be able to sell the calendars directly from our own site.
OK, so the only thing I was surprised at was the photographer. He does absolutely stunning work so I don’t mean this in a bad way, but the pictures were a lot different than I thought. Now…I know the calendar is probably going for it’s own look but photographers are all known to have “a look” to their stuff. His seems to be very natural and organic. He seems to really capture the person just how they are. Which is really is going to be AWESOME for photographing bloggers. But it makes me wonder about my outfit choices. Which truly say “Amy”? Anyway, gives me something to think about.
Now I have a lot of appointments to attend this week…honestly, I think I went a little off the deep end preparing myself for this thing. I’ve been really strict about the Isagenix plan (welll….let’s not mention the brownie and ice cream I broke down and had Monday), I’m getting a manicure and pedicure tonight AFTER I get a new haircut. I’m also having another microderm done tomorrow and honestly my dentist appointment just HAPPENED to land two days before I leave. I had planned to do whitening strips but really, I was just too lazy. So if I look at all half-decent in these pictures…believe me, it’s not without a lot of work.
