today was quite excellent.

i got no sleep last night, even after promising myself i would go to bed early,

woke up way earlier than should be allowed on vacation break, and

went to the casino with jessica to eat at timbers :D

it was fabulous and i didn't want to eat for the rest of the day.

then we bascially went to some random place in the woods

that had little waterfalls and stuff (and met a hick man dressed in

camo from head to toe) and it was sweet, and freeeezing. jess'

car also got stuck super super bad and it was scary. but i did

my noodle dance and figured out a way to get us out. i am brilliant.

parts of roads are so icy and snowy, it's really scary. i slipped down my whole

yard, the snow turned into ice. it's rock hard now.

then we were trying to find sweet places to take pictures, and we

went to like 9048502 different barn places, and we stopped at one

and knocked on the door, and just our luck, the person that answered could

hardly speak english at all. so i was basically just laughing the whole time

and we left saying "uhhh, well thanks...hace a nice day..?"

and went to some random person's house that looked like it had horses,

and the guy was super nice and let us take pictures of his horses.

omg i swear these horses were people. this brown one was definitely tyra

banks. it kept modeling AHAHHA. but they pretty much listened to everything

we said, it was insane. we were like BEND DOWN, COME CLOSER, CLICK

YOUR HEELS TOGETHER AND RECITE THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,

and they would do it.

it was awesome. you should have seen their heels click together, they

looked quite foolish.

more pictures later.

and omg omg omg thank you so much azzam for the testimonial!

Tyra Banks (1973) is an American television personality, actress and a former Supermodel. She appeared in films like Higher Learning (1995) and Coyote Ugly (2000). From 2003 on, she had a long-running smash hit as creator and presenter of the reality TV series America's Next Top Model.

Tyra Lynne Banks was born in Inglewood, California in 1973. Her mother, Carolyn London (now London-Johnson), is a medical photographer, and her father, Donald Banks, is a computer consultant. Her mother would later works as her manager. In 1979, when Banks was six years old, her parents divorced. Tyra began her career as a model at the age of 15, while attending school in Los Angeles. She was rejected by four modeling agencies before she was signed by L.A. Models. She switched to Elite Model Management at age 16. Banks was one of only a few Black models to achieve Supermodel status. In the mid-1990s, Banks returned to America to do more commercial modeling. She was a Victoria's Secret Angel from 1997 to 2005. In 1997, she was the first African-American model to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition. She was captured in a red/pink polka dot bikini by Australian photographer Russel James for the issue that went on to become one of the best-selling covers ever for the magazine. By the early 2000s, Banks was one of the world's top-earning models. In 1993, Tyra Banks began acting on television in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, in which she played lead character Will Smith's old friend Jackie Ames. She made her film debut in Higher Learning (John Singleton, 1995). In 2000 she had major roles such as Eve, a doll who comes to life in the Disney TV film Life-Size (Mark Rosman, 2000) and as Zoe in the box-office hit Coyote Ugly (David McNally, 2000). She had small roles in the romantic film Love & Basketball (Gina Prince-Bythewood, 2000) and the horror film Halloween: Resurrection (Rick Rosenthal, 2002), with Jamie Lee Curtis. She also appeared in the TV series Gossip Girl (2010-2011) and Glee (2013). In 2018, she returned on TV as the character Eve in the sequel Life-Size 2, (Steven Tsuchida, 2018).

In 2003, Tyra Banks created and began presenting the long-running reality television series America's Next Top Model, which she executive produced and presented for the first twenty-two seasons until the series' cancellation in October 2015. She remained executive producer for the revival of the series, and enlisted Rita Ora as host for the twenty-third cycle before reassuming the duties herself for the twenty-fourth cycle. Banks was the co-creator of True Beauty, and had her own talk show, The Tyra Banks Show, which aired on The CW for five seasons and won two Daytime Emmy awards for Outstanding Talk Show Informative. She co-hosted the talk show FABLife for two months. In 2017, Banks replaced Nick Cannon as host of America's Got Talent for its 12th season. In 2010, she published a young adult novel titled Modelland, based on her life as a model which topped The New York Times Best Seller list in 2011. Banks is one of four African Americans and seven women to have repeatedly ranked among the world's most influential people by Time magazine. Tyra Banks had a four-year relationship with banker John Utendahl (2007-2011) and dated Norwegian photographer Erik Asla during the 2010s. In January 2016 they had a biological son born via surrogacy.

yesterday i went to one of my good friend cass' house. i almost never get to see her, even though she lives pretty close, which sucks a whole lot.

i had a lovely time, and i drank a LOT of orange juice. HAHAHA.

and another one of my good friends evelyn came over, that was a wonderful surprise :)

she lives in philly, and even though she is up here half the time, i never ever ever get to see her :|

we went out to play pool and taco bell, and everybody thought we were drunk as hell (we weren't AHHA) and i was loud and obnoxious and ranted about everything.

ahahhaa, i am really good at ranting.

and THIS IS CASS' DOGGIE TAZ :D he is so pretty omg. i love this dog so much, he is more like a person, his personality is so strong, it's crazy.

i remember when me and cass picked him out, like it was yesterday, he's so huge now compared to the little baby puppy he was when she got him :)

i took a ton of pictures, (cass has A LOT of animals and sweet stuff in her house)

and i will probably upload some later. i know i always say that.

(AND OMG AREN'T THIS DOG'S EYES AMAZING? i swear to god, i did not edit the eyes at all, i couldn't make them this awesome with editing anyway)

***AND OMG, i really need your guys' help. like really bad. i need to pick out pictures for my portfolio, and i ABSOLUTELY cannot do that myself, since i consider myself completely biased.

more on this later. but i will seriously need help, if it is not too much to ask.. :)

After being postponed for a year due to educational reason, Indonesia's Supermodel is finally back. First, I want to thank God for His blessing and mercy so that I can start my Doll Photography Exhibition. I want to thank my family, friends and relatives who make this happen. I also give my biggest thank to my fellow doll friends who participate and help me to provide beautiful wardrobes for my photo shoot. They are DeeDee (Muh. Zubaidi), Biyan Raumbu, June Tsuu (Christanto Juni), Darwin Dizz, Ghiya Gia and I Gusti Bayu. This photo exhibition will be shown in an attractive way that is through a modelling competition which is inspired by America's Next Top Model. Each week, a set of photo shoots will be uploaded with different themes. The viewers, that is you, can vote or give your opinion about the models (the dolls). At the end of the week, one of them will be eliminated. And, in 14 weeks, we will know who will be on the cover of my first photo book that will be launched after the show. As the closing part, working alone is never easy. I got a lot of pressures, headaches and lacking of sleep. Therefore, I wish you would appreciate every works that will be uploaded by avoiding insulting comments, copyright infringement and bullying. Let's see this show as "how we have fun with our hobbies!" In the future, I hope I can work not only with Indonesian doll designers, but also the foreign doll designers and the high end designer. Last but not least, LET THE GAME BEGIN!!!
