My first video shoot!

So Tuesday was one of the best days of my life…. Have you ever had one of those days where you just knew there was no place in the WORLD you know you'd rather be…Have you ever had one of those days that just felt surreal? Like you were living a dream? That's the day I had…

I finally got to shoot my first REAL music video!!! It was for my single Cinematic that's starting to pick up a lot of heat out here in LA…
The day before my shoot was one of the WORST days ever…extremely stressful…I felt confused about how the video was to go down, didn't feel confident about the clothes I was going to be wearing, felt very judged by everybody. I went home and almost had a nervous breakdown but then decided I'd sleep it off and wake up with a completely different attitude…and it worked!!!

The shoot was flawless! For the first time EVER I was in LOVE with my hair and make-up and my wardrobe came together to be so hot and stylish and SEXY without being slutty…just the way I like it! I don't want to give too much away about the video but there were 5 different setups with all different hot outfits, and the concept of the video is that I'm actually making my OWN video. So the video will splice together shots from the director's camera and shots from home video cameras that I set up all around me!

Felli Fel from Power 106 who produced the track came and made an appearance and of course I had my hot dancers Brandy and Lindsey with me…they were lookin sexy too! Believe me… u all are gonna LOVE this video!

There was one shot where I had to dance in these 7 INCH platforms…hilarious…and I fell on my ass but kept going!!! I made it into this hot floor dance that might make the final cut! Lol The director was awesome…he had this thick accent that kind of made him sound like Arnold Schwartzeneggar…but he really got the best out of me! Made me feel totally comfortable and pushed my limits in a good way.

I had a lot of support there too…all the people from the label that I'm really close with stopped by, I had my whole management team, choreographers and parents there…truly truly truly an experience I have been waiting for for years and years and it totally lived up to the hype…and then some. Hope u all love the video as much as I had fun making it!

PS - I created a cool little slideshow for you with some pics from the set! I'll post it up on my myspace for you to check out. Look for it soon. :)

Much love,
