A new direction



I seem to be having an early mid life crisis. I am officially leaving Gainesville on or around November 14, and I am simply leaving. I have no idea where I'm going to yet. I do know my road trip will eventually take me back to Las Vegas, my home, at some point in the future.

Aside from the constant wandering and vagabonding I have been engaged in ever since I left Las Vegas almost two years ago, I have also been constantly trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Who doesn't? But my most recent musings on that question have led me to a new goal. I'm sheepish to even admit what it is, because at the moment I don't have more than an ounce of confidence about it, but I thought posting my goal on my public blog would make it more real for me, and would give permission to all my blogpeeps (stole that term from you L) to keep me in check. Goals take work to achieve, and everyone knows I'm not a big fan of work. I like instant gratification! But I need to discipline myself.

Anyways, drumroll... my goal as of now is to get back into modeling. However, not normal modeling. I want to be a pinup girl/burlesque queen like Dita Von Teese (in picture). I'm getting the rest of my tattoo finished on Wednesday and then I'm going to quit smoking. Smoking makes me too skinny. Then I'm going to start working out again to get my body back in shape. Gotta have a nice body to be a model after all. Then I'm going to start getting my pictures taken to update my modeling portfolio and probably start a website. Then I need to force myself out of my shy shell and let the Bettie Page inside of me come out! I need to learn to dance and be confident and all that kind of stuff.

So, if anyone has any advice, pointers, wants to help, etc. that would be awwwweeeesome! :)

that's hot Manda! you've definitely got the eyes for it, that sexy kind of "come to momma" look that you do in alot of your photos. and you're absolutely correct: posting stuff like this definitely has a way of making it real. and you better believe that there's a bunch of people who will be looking to see you achieve your goal. :-)
