photo shoots are the best.

1. catered food. that speaks for itself. fresh orange juice, coffee, fruit, brownies, bagels, lox, mini sandwiches ... yeah, so basically i ate for five hours straight.

2. music. normally, i wouldn't like to hear trance/dance/pop-ish tunes constantly, but for the occasion, it just brightened the mood.

3. fitting in. seriously, i never felt left out, never felt looked down upon, never felt as if i weren't an equal.

4. the people. they were all sweethearts.

5. make-up and hair. studying them do it teaches me how to improve on how i can put make up on and blow dry my hair.

6. the clothes. a rack of gorgeous shirts, jackets, pants, sweaters! and five boxes of jewelry!

7. the aura. erika, this is what you want to see every now and then for the rest of your life.
