This is me looking pretty !
I must be around 2 1/2 ys
Visiting my mother, 3 years old
We used to own a camper and we'd travel through the U.S.A.
4 years old, this was my secong year of pre-school
5 years old, this was my third year of pre-school
Here I'm 6 and I'm teasing the camera as usual ! This was my first professional photo-shoot
10 years old. I had that dog most of my life, she was my very best friend. She was called "Pouding"
My "Cindy Lauper" gown was the very first crinoline gown I've ever made... I was 12
This is me being an uggly 14 years old, no wonder the casting agency rejected me !
This is the first period costume I've ever made, I was 16 and I totaly felt like a princess
When my god-daughter was born, it changed my life. Now she's a young woman and I hardly ever see her anymore
This is the first "designer" costume I made when I was studying in design. It was a "Coco Chanel" replica
This is when I graduated from college
After college I met a guy and went working on a farm. These were taken back when I was living in New Brunswick. He owned a farm but he was also a photographer. I really loved that life...
So, at the same time, my modeling career was picking-up
I wasn't tall enough for runways so all I got were crapy local contracts. But I loved fashion-shows anyhow
So I started to make lots of money and got the chance to travel. Cuba was my first trip so, even though it's about the yuckiest place on earth, I was as happy as can be to be there !
That's me being silly in my hotel room in Otawa ! I was getting ready for a big show. I still have my "Nicholas bear"
7 months pregnant and very fat ! I gained 60 pounds in all ! That's my darling grand-ma & my mother
That was taken 2 minutes after my son was born. This is about the most shitty pic that you'll ever see of me (I hope!)
That's me being extra-slim again, getting ready for my son's Christening
My son was born with authism so every picture I took with him was a struggle. He doesn't have those symptoms anymore
After my son was born I started traveling again. Here I am in Paris.
And here I am in sunny Cali, back when my butt was still decent enough to show around ! ... Now-a-days I have to hide it under a towel !!!
But Hey ! Even nearly 15 years later, that gown still fits so, I certainly won't complain ! With a good 3 tons of make-up I can still look young & fresh !
This is the first dress I've made for reenactment purpuses quite a few years back
This is me looking silly & wet in my favorite city in the whole world... Can you guess where that is ?
And here I am being a total geek in my daily life. That was taken while I was hosting an art class at the women's center. I volonteer a few days a week.
So that's it... That's my life up 'til here !
Our trip to Disney world, Florida for my son's 11th birthday, july 2005.
My life in pictures
I'm way too old for modeling but I still take small roles. This was taken on the set of Denys Arcand's movie "L'âge des ténebres" which will be in theaters in december 2007.
My most recent re-enactment event at a local "Turn of the century" village with the "Société d'histoire IN MEMORIAM". September 2007
