Magazine Feature FLOP

Ugh. I have never been so disappointed by a photo shoot experience as I have been with Couture Magazine. I'm hesitant to even mention their name here, for fear that it might encourage some of you to go read it, which might be a tragic waste of brainpower and time.

Do yourself a favor and just type in page 30 in the upper left instead of scrolling through this hot mess.

As if that weren't enough, way to make me look like an idiot. Read THIS:
"... It is for this reason that my collection includes fashion-foward mail-outs (one-piece suits) and coordinating cover-ups..."
IDIOTS! They run a fashion magazine and can't edit well enough to know to cancel spellcheck (and I think I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one) on maillot!?!?
From Dictionary.com:
–noun
1. a close-fitting, one-piece bathing suit for women, simply styled and usually having a scoop neck and shoulder straps.
Furthermore, the magazine is chock-full of images of swimwear. So...thanks for advertising for my competitors and leaving me in the effing dark.
Friends, PLEASE, take 20 seconds and email feedback@mycouturemag.com. Tell them how strange you think it is that the girl who wrote about shoes has her picture, but there is none of me. Perhaps I'm horribly disfigured. Perhaps they never organized actually taking my photo, as promised. That's not the important part, though.
I requested for months to see my images, and the photographer never got a release from the magazine to even share them with me. I wasted my time one EARLY morning shooting in town for these people. That's not to mention 2 other meetings/fittings that required me to drive all over Hell's Half Acre (which is a town in Wyoming, btw).
I'll waste time for Vogue, ok? These people don't get to do that. Help me out, so that I can at least get some (decent?) photos for my time.
mmmkay, thanks.
