Sometime around late fall of 2017 I was feeling really peppy with my new, shaved head and decided damnit that I wanted to be sunglasses or corrective eyewear model! I ran around telling everyone that I knew that I was going to do this. One of those people just happened to be Abdiel Gonzales.
As it turns out, at the time Abdiel wrote articles for, and orchestrated photoshoots for a local publication, The Lakelander. Lo and behold a few months later he was doing a write up about the rising popularity of glasses in the fashion industry and remembered what I said about wanting to be a “glasses model” and asked me if I would be interested in being one of his models for the story!!! Of course I said yes and I was officially published in the March 2020 Issue of The Lakelander Magazine!
