Second chance to become an (Amateur) model

I spent my day with an old friend today, re-taking pictures of products for my online shop. These last 2 weeks I start to sell dresses with L & XL sizes but not much progress---I think because the pictures displayed were lousy. So I needed to re-publish more attractive pictures. The problem was who should be my models? It's not so easy to find one, who have curve body, and especially who are willing to get only a bowl of Bakso** in return? ^_^

So we both be the models. Yes, me involved. It's my second times someone make-over me for a single photo shoot, 'cuz I don't have a good make-up skill. Here's one of the result, the rest will be uploaded soon in my multiply.

The first time I had a similar photo session, was few years ago, when my friend wants to experiment a bit of the Ganguro's* stlye and apply it to me. But somehow it made me look like Erykah Badu instead Ganguro girl :D


Ganguro*: or "Black Face Girls" is an alternative fashion trend of blonde or orange hair and tanned skin among young Japanese women that peaked in popularity around the year 2000, but remains evident today. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ganguro.jpg)

Bakso** : is Indonesia term for meatballs, it served in a bowl, like soup, with noodles, beancurds (tofu), eggs, 'siomay'/steamed meat dumpling, and crispy wonton. It has a consistent homogeneous texture, and spices to it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatball)

Bakso Time!!!

Start to post my own thoughts about fashion

Hi readers...

I think this is the time for me to post my own writings. As you might see, all my previous posts are free-fashion articles that I republish to fill this blog. Why would I do that? Let me tell the story.

One day in my previous company, I learn about SEO to boost the company site's popularity and the boss made us republish hundreds free articles and put links to our company sites. We had also been informed that we can make money from Google Adsense, if people visiting our blog and click these ads. We were quite motivated at that time and start to blog everyday.

Time to choose a popular theme for my blog and I choose fashion theme, not because I'm fashionable. That's totally wrong. I don't follow fashion trends but I don't wear weird clothes, either. Until I was a teenager, drawing people&design dress are my hobbies and become a fashion designer was actually what I want for living. I love watching fashion show on TV or reading latest fashion trend on magazines (even I didn't follow it). But I'm not a fashion designer now :p

My first plan was actually writing all my thoughts about fashion, about what I wear everyday, about what are my fashion wishlists, all about fashion&me. But next thing I know was I never got a chance to write anything outside my tasks in office. I was too busy, tired, and fed up with office things so I guess at that time there's no inspiration would come to me :(

But in the other hand, I really want to prove that I can get side-income from this Adsense! So I started with republish free-articles everyday (which I didn't feel too comfort doing it 'cuz my background is Journalism---somehow I felt like I'm plagiating, grab others minds--even though I always mention the writer&the URL source) and then I registered for Google Adsense. Lucky me...it tooks only 2 days for Google to cache my page and approve my Adsense request.

I posted 1 post everyday at the first month, and lesser at the 2nd month, and became less, less, and lesser. You know...it's really a boring job to copy-paste those posts, without enjoying what you post.

After resigning&decide to start my own business, I got more time to do anything including blogging everyday. Moreover, my writing about fashion will support my business now, an online boutique for L & XL size... you can peek in here :)

Don't hesitate to leave comments :)
