I was reading the MSU student paper one afternoon, and an advertisement in the paper caught my eye. One of the fraternities at MSU needed MSU female students to model for a calendar they were going to have printed and sent out to fraternity members and alumni. So that will be a nice gift for the alumni. Even though the auditions were scheduled for a date close to the beginning of finals week, I decided to give it the old college try.
Now, the next question was, what should I wear? Wasn't sure what kind of calendar this was going to be, so I had to use a little math, and putting two and two together, I thought what would a bunch of fraternity guys like to see? I had received a whole boat load of stuff for Chanukah and looking through my treasure trove of gifts, I picked out these:

Had an earlier post concerning these Bebies. The next step was the rest of the outfit, it was a complete no brainer and here's how I looked, walking through one of MSU's fine culinary establishments:

I think this was around 3ish so the cafeteria was empty because of the time, school wasn't quite deserted yet. I'm wearing high waisted jeans with button details, a bleached slim fit denim jacket, lace crop blouse, knockoff Deborah Minkoff bag, brown PU gloves, blue sunglasses, a funky baseball cap that appeared in an earlier post, and of course my "bebeis."
The frat was holding the auditions in Emmons hall, and when I got there, it looked like they were going to be short on models since there are twelve months in the year and only eight or nine of us girls trying out. Eventually it was my turn. The frat guys had informed us that there might be some nudity in the calendar so they wanted a look at almost everything we had. So that's the explanation for the next photo:

I wasn't sure if this was going to be a good idea or not, and I had to keep telling myself that it was for a good cause and it could be a way to get my foot in the door.
After strutting my stuff, one of the frat members interviewed the other candidates and myself in his dorm room. This guy is still a freshman so he must have some big connections in the frat. The upshot of the whole thing is that the frat guys liked me and I got the job. I'm going to be Ms. April. Yay! Maybe not the best month, but I am being paid - $50 - and as an extra bonus I received a voucher for plane fare and accommodations for the frat's spring break celebrations in Florida, plus, I am automatically enrolled in the frat's wet t-shirt contest. Very excited, because I've never been to Florida or participated in a spring break outside of Michigan. Not sure about the wet t-shirt contest, though, the $500 first place prize would come in handy. 
As a postscript, the photo shoots for the calendar have concluded and I'm just waiting for my copy or or to get copies of the photos. As soon as I receive either, I'll post them right away, here, at Naomi's Fashionable World.
I've been more active on Polyvore lately since finals are over, so don't forget to like my contest sets, please? Thank you.
Catchya later.
Ciao.
 

 

I've got an update for Chanukah day 6. Sure, it's day 7 already but finals and other stuff got in the way of posting. I'm back home in Detroit and I'm back at the family house after going to temple with mom and my little brother. Speaking of him, my little bro, if you've been reading my other posts you'll know I've had my eyes on a certain pair of boots, viz:

Well, I guess I've given it all away now. Yep, my little bro came through and got me a pair. Now, these boots weren't on my Chanukah wish list, it was these boots that were on the list:

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I blogged that much about the boots at the top. Anyway, my brother bought me the boots at the top, what a sweetheart. The last time I saw my brother, his piggy bank, which is shaped like a temple by the way, was so engorged it looked like it was going to erupt. So there's an extra sweet bonus that he spent all of his hard earned coin on me. Now, let's get to testing these babies out. First up, here's a photo of the boots by their lonesome:

They certainly add some pizzaz to my college dorm room floor. Can't tell much about them from here, so here's another shot of me holding them:

They look pretty tall but it's mostly the heels, next, check out the stretch in these babies:

Woooh! Stretchy! They must be the stretchiest boots I've got. Very nice PU on these boots, none of that cheap stuff. Well, I guess I'm going to have to wear them to get an idea of what they're really all about:

Looking real good, I'd say. With the PU pants, leather jacket and fedora I got as Chanukah gifts too, I'd have to qualify this look as 100% slick. Yep, new PU pants and leather jacket. The pants are already a close fit and those PU boots just squeeze them down even more. Love the fedora, can always use one's in different sizes. Now, shifting gears a bit to the pants, but the boots are still going to be there, how do those tight PU pants fit around my bottom?

I'm very happy with the fit. The boots look good from behind too. I had to Skype with my brother to thank him and he came out to MSU the same day, what a dear heart, so I could give him my Chanukah gift for him, and thank you's. Maybe I shouldn't post this but we Skyped with daddy too, all three of us, it was so nice to at least Skype with him, wish I could be with him on Chanukah. So that's Chanukah day 6. I'm hoping to get Chanukah day 7 up today but what with all of the home Chanukah craziness and studying for finals, I can't promise anything. Hope your Chanukah is beautiful, bounteous, and joyous.
Catchya later.
Ciao.

Has your Chanukah been bountiful so far? Sure, not everyone is Jewish, maybe you're thinking about another holiday. You might have read my holiday wishlist post earlier and now I have an update about how those wishes may or may not have come to fruition.
I received a mystery box through the mail here at MSU the other day. It was a mystery because it had no return address, but I know who it was from. Now, what could be in that box? My interest was certainly peeked. Here's what I found, my first boot unboxing:
 
Now I was very excited and opening the box:

These are gorgeous! Over the knee platform Bebes in black patent! I'd better check the size, though:

Looking good, here's another view:

The right size, these need a closer look:

Gorgeous!And so shiny! How long are these butes? They look huge:

These must be the longest boots I have so far. I love the beautiful back lacing. I can't wait to wear them and I have the perfect occasion and outfit in mind.

I received another package as well. Guess what I found inside? I bet that would be tough to figure out based only on my wishlist so, well, here you go:

If you're surprised, I was too. I wasn't expecting this either. It wasn't on my wishlist though I have pictures on Pinterest and Tumblr of a different model, so I guess someone out there is a mind reader. The Bebes' boots weren't on my wishlist either. Sometimes that's what happens: you wish for something and get something else that you like just as much or something you wanted also.
Well, that's it for now, however, remember Chanukah ends next Monday so I'm sure you'll want to check back here later for further updates.
Haven't been on Polyvore for a while, finals are coming up and I have to study. School you know, getting in the way of the fun stuff. Maybe I'll check out Polyvore this evening.
If you're celebrating Chanukah I hope your holiday has been joyous and bountiful for you so far.
Catchya later.
Ciao.
