Finding Love

GQ

***
I heard my alarm ringing and I groaned. I only had three hours of sleep. Right now it was 7 and I had to be at the photoshoot at 8. So basically I had no time... I quickly went into the bathroom and showered. I got out of the shower and did not do my hair, or my makeup! Basically if I did they would just take it off and then put it back on again... So I decided against taking extra time to do it! I threw my hair in a loose top knot and then I just put moisturizer on my face! Then for my outfit I threw on lulu lemon black leggings and a three quarter sleeve baseball style band tee. The sleeves and collar was white and the rest of the shirt was black. I tucked it in the leggings, but pulled it out so it was loose and sort of puffy. I then threw on black sort of booties. I then went into the kitchen and made myself an egg white omelet with fresh basil and vegetables. I then made my plate and poured a glass of water. I ate my meal and played with Marilyn. When I was done eating I went upstairs and brushed my teeth and I grabbed my white structured backpack and threw everything that I would need inside the bag. I then fed Marilyn and gave her water. I had a few minutes to spare so I sat down on the couch and I took a bunch of selfies and I then posted one of the selfies I took and captioned it:

I left my apartment and locked the door. I then went into the garage and got into my black matte range rover and drove to the GQ photoshoot location. I pulled up to the photo shoot at 7:50, I always like to be a little early! The location was at a beach. It was very pretty and there was a bunch of trailers which is where the wardrobe, hair, and makeup probably were. Also the beach was private so there would be no obnoxious paparazzi. I parked my car and got out and the director of the photoshoot came up to me and said, "Hello Brooke!" We shook hands and he said, "It is very nice to meet you!" I said, "You too!" He smiled and said, "We are going to start in 30 minutes! So follow me to your hair and makeup trailer!" I nodded and said, "Okay thank you!" I followed him and we got to the trailer and he opened the door for me and we went in. He said, "Brooke this is your makeup artist Monica and your hair stylist Jonathan!" I smiled and shook their hands and I said, "Its nice to meet you!" They smiled and then the director left and Monica said, "Are you ready to get started!" I nodded and then sat down and they began on my hair and makeup. Around 30 minutes later it was all done! My hair was in no defined part and it was just messily curled and I loved it! It looked really "beachy!" My makeup was also very natural looking, I could barely tell I was wearing any, but it made my skin look flawless! The only makeup that I had on was:

Light foundation
My eyebrows were done perfectly
Light brown eyeshadow
A little black mascara
Matte pink lipstick

That was all of my makeup and I was all done! Jonathan said, "You can follow me! I'll bring you to the outfit trailer!" I smiled and said, "Okay thank you both!" He led me to the outfit trailer and we both walked in and Jonathan said, "Brooke this is the stylist Nicole!" I smiled and she smiled back and we both shook hands! Jonathan said, "Okay so when you are all ready come down to the first location!" I nodded and then he left and Nicole handed me my first outfit and I put it on. My bottoms were white tight bikini bottoms. My top then was an oversized white loose long sleeve shirt and at the top it was laced together with sort of string. Then it was a little see through so under it I wore a white lace bralette. I was all ready so Nicole led me to where we were taking the first pictures. The first shots were going to be on this white couch/ bench thingy. The director came up to me and said, "You look gorgeous! This is the photographer Alexander!" I shook hands with him and then he said, "Okay whenever you are ready we can begin!" I nodded and said, "Okay where should I go!" He said, "You can lay down on the couch thing and just do whatever feels natural!" I nodded and I laid down and I did all of the poses and after around 45 minutes Alexander said, "Okay we are all done with the first shots! Brooke you can go change for the next shot and then meet us by the lifeguard stand in 20 minutes!" I nodded and walked back to the wardrobe trailer. Nicole handed me my outfit and I put it on. It was a white strapped bikini and matching bottoms. My bottoms were grey jean shorts and my top was then a loose dark blue jean colored tank top. After I was all ready I walked out to the lifeguard stand and Alexander said, "You look gorgeous! Just sit on the stairs and we will begin!" I sat down on the stairs and I did poses and I would pull my shirt to the side and my left shoulder was out! I loved this shoot so far and then when the shot was over I changed into another outfit which was a white see through loose long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up. It was tucked into high waisted ripped shorts. then under the shirt was a light green bikini/sports bra! My accessories were a gold beach bracelet and gold beach themed rings. I walked to the next "location" and it was a wooden bench. I sat down and did all of the poses and it was a lot of fun. After this part was over I went once again back into the wardrobe trailer and changed into another outfit. It was once again the white strapped bikini and bottoms. With white jean shorts and my top was a see through knit brown top that was tucked into the shorts. I walked back to the next location and it was by the outdoor shower thing. For the shot I was leaning up on the wall and the water was on. I did the poses and it was a pretty good shot, even though it was kind of cold! Then I went back to wardrobe to change into my final outfit which was the cover shot! The outfit was a black strappy bikini with matching bottoms. Then I had a light brown tank top cover up/ tight fitted dress that went over it. I walked back out to the final location and it was the railing on the board walk that over looked the beach. For the cover shot I leaned against the rail and I put my arms behind it. My legs were crossed and the right side of the dress was up a little more than the left so you could see the straps of the black bikini bottoms. After the photoshoot was over Alexander said, "THAT IS A WRAP ON BROOKE!" Everyone cheered and I smiled and then I walked around and thanked everyone. I then went back into the dressing room and changed back into my outfit I wore there. I then saw I got a text from Bella saying:

Hey girl! Wanna go to dinner at Craig's at 6? Ill pick you up!

I quickly responded saying:

Okay!!sounds like fun see you then babe:))

I then left the set and got into my car and I drove back to my apartment to begin getting ready for dinner...
