I sigh. "What on earth does that have to do with anything? Look, after I go shopping, I also have to drop off my portfolio , so I'll be gone awhile." my Type-A alter also ticks off what I gotta if I'm going to get a scout and graduate school this year. #^$@.

Author Guidance for this Story

charl Olive from Little Miss Sunshine was my inspiration for this character. Birdy is college aged and lives in a small apartment in Soho, New York with her mother, and goes to school during the day at NYU. She is always looking for modeling gigs nearby and ultimately wishes to be a high-profile alternative model. I am VERY attached to this character, treat her nicely.
