I couldn't believe my eyes. I had only walked into the store (which I was always uncomfortable going into since I looked so young) and there I saw it. The picture. I remembered that photoshoot and signing that contract to Victoria's Secret. My mother had made sure to read over it and I could vaguely recall the older female that my agent had found to take a chance on me. 'Everything is going to change for you.' The older woman had said with a pretty big smile. The next day I did a photoshoot, with my mother present, in lingerie. Whereas all of the other models went for a sexy look, several of the other models plus myself were told to be innocent. 'Think rainbows, butterflies, and fluffy clouds!' The photographer had told each of us as we got on set. It hadn't been too hard to do.
Now as I stared up at the photo hanging in the middle of the store, my mouth had dropped open. That was me? I looked pretty and, dare I say, sexy? It just didn't look like me at all. My eyes widened as I took in my sweet smile, the light pink bra and panties set that I had been chosen to wear, and the milky whiteness of my skin; it was all too surreal. I had just started modeling but this? This was more than I could possibly imagine. This was like I had gone to heaven and wasn't going to come back down until someone could reach up and grab me. I was an angel!
