AlyssaAdore: A Nostalgic Thanksgiving

After a long day of class in the morning, and driving in holiday traffic, I finally got into Arizona last night, to celebrate Thanksgiving. My mom and I spent Thanksgiving with two friends of ours, since my father is currently working overseas, as well as my brother being deployed.

Our Thanksgiving dinner consisted of gourmet dishes, thanks to Jen, our friend who is a chef :) We also opened a amazing bottle of wine, from Eastern Europe, from our trip in 2006.

The host of our Thanksgiving dinner was kind enough to show me photographs of his late wife, during the 1960's when she was a model. His wife Karen, attended a modeling school in San Francisco, after moving to the mainland from Hawaii. Along with her photographs, was a modeling handbook, complete with personal measurements, and diets and nutritional information for models. One of the photographs was a critique photo, with notes of correction written directly on the photo. I knew Karen was a beautiful lady inside and out, but I wish I would have known this about her when she was alive. I would have loved to chat with her about her modeling days and her love for fashion :)
