Have I ever told you...
...about my 15 minutes of fame? Except that it's kind of more like a month of fame since that's how long magazines sit on the shelves.
A friend of mine, Andy Davey, is a professional photographer down in Santa Monica. He was in Fresno visiting one weekend and asked if I would want to be in a photo shoot he was doing for a magazine, Bikini, he explained that it was not a bathing suit mag, so I said yes!
He asked me to wear my glasses and to bring my retainer, he wanted me to look like a nerd, which is easy enough, since I am [a nerd].
It was a blast, I got my hair done, make-up, nails, eyebrows tweased, a whole freakin' wardrobe. My payment: free Hard Candy nail polish and Puma's oh and of course, the chance to become a star. Not that I, at 5' 2" and chubby round face, expected to become a model, but a girl can dream, right?
So, here it is, my claim to fame:

Rather more *ah-hem* art house than my prior supposition, Melanie.
