Wedding-Palooza - The Commercial

In posts past (here and here), I wrote about the wedding madness I was involved in for work! It was a super fun project, getting to wear a gorgeous wedding gown, wearing my hair up and fancier than I normally do, etc.

But, as someone close to me recently pointed out, I never did a follow-up post on my duties as wedding model. You see, the reason I was in the wedding dress and all gussied up was to shoot a commercial for a local website! Basically, I get to be a spokeswoman!!! (Since I was a child, I always imagined myself saying "Easy, breezy, beautiful Cover Girl." LOL!)

So, after a bit of pushing from said person close to me, I am going to show it to my Peeps, because you are who I share everything with! I know, you feel extremely special. ;)

To those of you who have already seen this, I am so sorry to make you watch it again. It's really weird seeing yourself on television, so it's probably weird for those of you who have already seen it. I have definitely been receiving a lot of feedback from folks that have seen it - it seems that someone tells me every day that they saw it running during this time and during that time so, what can I say? TV WORKS (and I know some really nice and awesome people)!

So, without further ado, Miss Chicken Wing's television commercial debut! Enjoy!

I hope you like it! I practiced my lines, and actually was not as nervous as I thought I would be, but that is only because I had the most wonderful people surrounding me, coaching and encouraging me! I am so grateful and so thankful that I was in a situation like that where instead of telling me what I needed to do better, they told me what I was excellent in doing. Those are the types of people you should strive to be around in life - those who uplift you, not those who bring you down.

So, if I ever get the opportunity to do something like this again, I will share it with all of you! Stay tuned, Peeps!

Until next time,
Miss Chicken Wing

Mr. and Miss Chicken Wing: Model Citizens Part II

So, I left you with the mock engagement pictures that my fabulous friend took. I hope you liked them! After that, it was time for me to shine! :) (And, let's be honest, what girl doesn't want the chance to feel like Heidi Klum, Giselle, or Cindy Crawford?!?!?!)

Random Gnat-like Chicken Wing Thought: I once saw the following bumper sticker and friends of mine said it reminded them of me...I figured I'd share, you know, since we're on the topic of shining!!!

But, I guess that's neither here nor there, is it? ;) Back to the reason for this post...

I got a fabulous opportunity at work to be the official spokeswoman of a vertical website we're starting, which means that I get to star in all of the commercials and be featured on our major website! Cool, huh? The commercial, which you will see at a later date, came out pretty good, I think.

(What's that? You want to see it now? I've got to leave something to the imagination - otherwise, you'd be completely bored by this blog and you'd never come back - and that's the last thing I want!).

The first commercial centered around the Weddings section of the new website. Basically, that section of the site allows brides-to-be to find all the vendors they'll need to plan their big day, and they can even post their engagement and wedding announcements for FREE! Awesome, right? I know! This is the new thing - you get engaged, and you create an announcement for it. In the "olden" days, you would simply do a write-up for the paper, and you could include one black and white photo. Nowadays, with the internet, (this new website included) you can do the same exact thing (except in COLOR) and you can send the link to all of your friends and family! This way, it doesn't matter if they don't subscribe to the newspaper you put your announcement in!

Okay, I know I keep jumping, but keep with me, peeps! While shooting the first commercial, one of the most fabulous photographers of all time took some still shots of me in the wedding gown (aka my costume for the day!), and I wanted to share those with you. It's really crazy to see myself in a wedding gown. I was absolutely sure that Mr. Chicken Wing would freak out, but his reaction was actually pretty adorable - he had this look of slight awe and said, "Wow....you look absolutely beautiful." (Yeah, I was pretty stoked with that reaction). I know Momma Chicken Wing freaked out! Haha!

So, here we go...take a deep breath, and let's see the goods!

So, I know what you're thinking...MOTHER OF ALL THINGS HOLY, THAT DRESS IS GORGEOUS!!!!! I know, I felt the same way! If you would like to try on or purchase that wedding gown, go here. If you would like to post your wedding or engagment announcement for free, go here. Basically, I am HIGHLY recommending any of the sources I've linked to in this post. Feel free to leave comments and let me know what you think!

And don't forget to stay tuned for the commercial/website advertising post! It's pretty cool!!!

Until next time,

Mr. and Miss Chicken Wing: Model Citizens Part I

I'm sorry that it's been awhile since I've posted anything, faithful Chicken Wingers! I've had a computer issue that is pretty detrimental to my blogging endeavor - for some reason, the USB ports on our computer will not work! They won't recognize that anything has been plugged into them, and that is a tragedy! Basically, for all of the non-technological followers, I can't plug my camera into my computer, and therefore, cannot upload any of my pictures to share with you! And, oh, the pictures I have! Mr. Chicken Wing and I have been doing cool things, and I have yet to be able to share them with you! So, I beg you to be patient, and I am going to try to fix the problem as soon as I can!

One thing that is pretty timely that I can update you on is some modeling that Mr. Chicken Wing and I have done recently! Modeling, you ask???? Modeling, I reply!!! Apparently, there are people in this world that think that Mr. Chicken Wing and I are pretty darn foxy, and they wanted to take some photos of us! :) Just kidding!

*MAJOR DISCLAIMER: MR. CHICKEN WING AND I ARE NOT ENGAGED AND/OR MARRIED AT PRESENT DAY.*

First up was one of my best friends. She's just started her own photography business, and is in the process of building her own website and her own professional portfolio! While she's new to her own business, she is NOT new to being an exceptional photographer (and friend)! So, she asked Mr. Chicken Wing and I to model for the engagement section of her portfolio! Cool, huh?

Please enjoy some photos from our mock engagement shoot all around our city!

Stay tuned for more modeling goodness, and I hope you enjoy what you've seen so far. In the hopes of not giving anyone a heart attack/stroke combo (which would really not be good either seperately or together), I would like to repeat the disclaimer here:
