Still In the Running Toward Becoming America's Next Top Model

You totally just pictured Tyra and her super-serious face didnt you?

You know you did.  Just admit it.

*Sidenote - Does anyone else think that is one of the most grammatically incorrect sayings ever?  Shouldn't it be "still in the running to become ANTM?"  Maybe its just me.



I was honored to be asked to serve as one of the stories featured in Massey's 2011/2012 Philanthropic Review.  The Review is basically a summary of generosity extended toward Massey during the year and the advances those donations have made possible.  The theme of this year's report is Dedication, Innovation, Transformation.

When I showed up for our photo shoot I thought I would be in and out in about 20 minutes.  I was wrong.  This was a full-on, professional-grade shoot.  The only thing missing was Tyra.  Please ignore that I just called what happens on reality TV a "full-on, professional-grade" anything.

And J Manuel!

I really hope someone is getting these references other than me . . .

The panel of judges - Checking out what works

Smising!

And how lucky am I to have a bestie there with me??

Capturing the organized chaos

Its been months since the shoot took place, so when this puppy showed up in my mailbox yesterday I was so psyched to see the final result!  It had been pretty well guarded!

Kind of like the results from judging, huh?

I am totally honored to be included in this year's Report, and grateful that Massey is helping us get the word out about the Challenge to its most dedicated supporters.
