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!!!
