First Photo shoot!!!

Hey Guys!! I know its pretty late but I have to tell you about Saturday!!!!!!! OMG I went to my first photo shoot ever!! The celebrity was Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl(XOXO). Anyway, it was a great learning experience for me. I arrived at the studio at around 8:30 am and I was the only one there. I immediately started to unpack the trunks of clothing and accessories we had packed the night before at Cosmo. I layed out all of the shoes and hung the clothing on the racks. I also took an inventory of all of the jewelry to make sure nothing got lost in transit.

Rebecca Hessel, one of the fashion editors arrived a few minutes later and she began to set up the bras and tailoring kit. I steamed all of the pieces and cut the tags off of all the clothes. The entire Cosmo team showed up soon after. Photographers, lighting speacialists, hair, and make-up staff arrived and we all ate breakfast that was catered(awesome!). Leighton Meester arrived at around 11:40 am and after she ate she was put into wardobe and styled by Michelle McCool( senior fashion editor) and Rebecca. After wardrobe she was sent to hair and finally make-up. She looked so cute.

When they started shooting I was on set to assist with any minor task. I was asked to cover the bottom of Leighton's shoes with masking tape so that she would'nt scuff them as she walked around. I steamed her outfits about five times to make sure the wrinkles would never come back. I also played dj for a while with my ipod!

Leighton was shot in 5 different looks and the shoot didnt end until about 5:30 pm. I stayed until 6:30 pm to pack up and say goodnight to everyone. The day was pretty long but I enjoyed every second of it and I can't wait to tell the other interns !!!
