Hey Everyone!! I had an awesome time on Friday at the Go green fashion show at Greenhouse club. Pics and videos will be up soon from the event! I put new photos today that I did with a great photographer Kenny Flash and Make-up artist Arooba Alam. Great team to work with! Also, next weekend I'm taking a great workshop with the casting directors from Law and Order (Jonathan Strauss) and Gossip Girl (Kim Miscia).
