There is a local weekly paper here called Juice, which is very mainstream, but has some really cool people working at it. I was asked to style part of their fall fashion issue, which I was really excited about. I brought my best girlfriend Amber on board to do hair and make-up, which she does professionally, and very well. The newspaper asked us to do the shoot at the Iowa State Fair, which is about as anti-high-fashion as you can get.

We totally rocked it, though. It was quite a coup! Crowds gathered everywhere. The model, Lucy, was awesome, Amber did a kickin' job, their photographer, Art, is amazing and one of the nicest guys ever, and Olivia, their fashion journalist, is truly fabulous. I can't wait to see the pictures. It came together like magic, I swear. Keep your fingers crossed for a cover!!

Meanwhile, I'll keep pulling horsehair out of a $400 cashmere wrap one stinky hair at a time. LOL!

Talk about flexible! Here is Amber doing hair in a horse barn!

Me fiddling with Lucy. She had clothespins up and down both of her legs.

Lucy fit right in with the carnival in this outfit!
