These are two photos from the same shooting as below, the one for the Fashion Up campaign, where you can vote your favorite look. It is truly amazing that I have about 300 votes in two days, since the pictures are up, online. I would have never thought there were so many people voting from me, when there are so many pretty ladies there to vote for. It it truly amazing to see that so many people take their time and show their support, even if I may not know them personally.

I thank you, reader of my blog, whoever you are, for showing interest and support. It is amazing to feel appreciation and when it comes from strangers it is that much more surreal. And if I may be a positive example and influence, the better it is. It makes all the hard, long, sleepless work nights worth it.

Crina from Clarins took this picture of my face, after she retouched my make-up (the foundation was my own - Chanel). She loved my eyelashes for some reason and actually thought I had them trimmed. I told her that I sleep about 4,5 hours a night and that NO, I do not have time to do such things as to trim my eyelashes. You probably noticed that my hair got long, well it is because I literally do not have time to go to my hairstylist, Diana Nemes, to get my hair cut (I promise I will go next week). Also, yes, my cheekbones are real; it is not plastic surgery (somebody actually asked me that and I can not imagine having so much time and money as to do that, while being so young- I am only 22).

The most important thing in my life right now is to figure out how to grow this fashion business of mine, to find a professional work-space/atelier, to hire production help/more seamstresses, just so I have time to live more humanly and not work like a crazy person-is not healthy. Also, I would like to work more on patterns and on new collections.

Keeping fingers crossed and staying positive. So shall you! :)

PS: If you did not vote for me yet, you can do it here. Thankyouverymuch.
