You never know how your day is going to go.

Megan has been on work experience this week in the GMINI office. She is studying media at a local college and may very well end up as an editor of a magazine when she’s finished her studies. She has been a great help to our Claire this week but we noticed some other fine qualities in her which would be hard to overlook.

Today was Megan’s very last day in the office so I took ten minutes out of my very busy design schedule (deadlines looming!) to photograph her. Basically, I just told her that I thought she looked great and would she mind coming out to the back of the office for a few shots because we are always on the look-out for new models. I just wanted to see how she was with a camera directed at her. Turns out she was pretty amazing and had no problem at all taking direction. Megan didn’t have time to get make-up or hair done, or even worry about styling. She didn’t even have time to look in the mirror! But I think she looks great in these shots and I would love it if everyone who visits my blog would leave a comment for her to let her know well she did!

You can also see Megan as a leg/shoe model in a Panache advert in Gorgeous magazine. We had a little episode earlier today when Julie came in with some fantastic looking shoes hoping someone would put them on for the advert. Of course we were all standing about complaining about our legs. “My varicose veins are terrible”, “I have ankles like tree trunks”, “I haven’t shaved my legs!” “My legs look a bit purple” were just some of the complaints that I heard. Lucky enough we had Megan there to bail us out, totally calm and collected, and fuzz-free.

If I asked Megan how she felt about working in magazines, I’m sure she would say “It ain’t as glamorous as it looks!”
