…I turned 24! Whoa, almost a quarter of a century old! I was having a bit of a meltdown about it not because I truly believe 24 is even close to being old but because of the people in this world who do believe it is. If you know anything about me you’ll know that modeling has been a dream of mine since I can hardly remember and I’m getting to be of “that age”. If you go to any major agency website and click on their model submission page it usually states some minimum measurement and age requirements. First thing, I’m only 5 feet and 8 inches… about one inch shorter than most top agencies would want. Secondly, I am now 24 years old… about 3 years older than most top agenies want. I do not have much “insider” knowledge but I can about guarantee if your submission does not have these requirements it automatically goes into the trash. Of course you could lie, but where would that get you other than to waste a lot of people’s time. Oh well I suppose like John Lennon said, “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans”.
On another note, I did have a nice Birthday. I kept telling everyone to just let me forget it so I could pretend I was still 23. Of course I have so many wonderful, loving people in my life that simply wouldn’t let that be. Thank you to all of my friends and family for the thoughtful messages, cards and gifts. And a big thank you to the greatest husband in the world who kept his promise to NOT celebrate my birthday…
Seth asked them to write "Happy Day Erin". As you can see they must've started to write birthday because it says "Happy BAY Erin". Poor guy can't catch a break, he tried!
