Welcome!

Hi everybody!  Welcome to my Blog.  I hope you will enjoy following me on my journey through my career and one day to stardom!

Let me start my first post by telling you a little about myself.  My name is Quinnie I am a textile display specialist.  Some people call us mannequins, or even dummies.... how rude.  You however have obviously taken the time to educate yourself on the proper terminology.   My start in this field was a little rocky.   I was "discovered" by a man claiming to be a talent scout for K-mart in Vermont and that they had a perfect spot for me during the up coming back-to-school event.  Turns out he wanted me to work in the intimates section....

    So I had a friend throw me in a box and ship me to a studio Illinois where I am currently the chief textile display specialist.  I have two hand display technicians working under me so I guess it is kind of a management job.  I am finally moving up.  That is me to right on my first day at the job.  I think I look a little stiff here, but I know I will get better with practice.

I have already done 10 or so textile displays.  The work is ok so far.  I was not happy when I was told I would not be allowed to wear anything during the shoot because it would detract from the product.  I had been told it would be asked of me as a textile display specialist, but it took some getting used to.  I did get to wear a bracelet for some of them.  The picture to the left is one of my first shoots.  It shows my bum.. although I have to admit, it is a nice one.  I hope they are not too risque, but hey this is high fashion right?  OK That is it for tonight

Good night everybody!
