I bumped into a couple snags leaving Reno for New Mexico but nothing I couldn’t handle!

For the “Explorer Vanessa” character in Alex’s script, we eventually narrowed it down to the first 2 pictures that you see. The video crew sent them over for me to emulate and I did my best! PS, I ended up using ankle boots, different from what’s shown in the picture. 

I’ve also included a bunch of pictures below that I found really early on in the process.  Carlsbad became a National Park in 1930  and I thought it’d be cool to go down that road…it was fun exploring all the possibilities.

I fell in love with all of the looks and it was hard to narrow it down!  I’m excited for future music videos where I may get the chance to dress similarly to some of the other pictures… so fun!

 

I ended up settling on this dress for the “Violining Vanessa”character in Alex’s script. I absolutely fell in love with the color and the silky fabric AND it was a million times more comfortable than the hourglass dresses!

Originally, originally – when I first came up with the Carlsbad movie idea and before I hired the video crew – I really wanted to wear 3 different hourglass dresses that I thought would really compliment the stalactites and stalagmites of the caverns with their shape and their colors.

BUT, the dresses sure didn’t look the same on me as they did on the models, haha, and I wasn’t sure that I could loose the extra 10 pounds necessary for me to feel comfortable wearing them. 

So, I sadly returned them and went back to the drawing board for outfit ideas. 

Here are the 2 outfits we narrowed down to!  Stay tuned as I’ll be posting soon about the outfit iterations and ups and downs we had getting to this point!

Here’s a copy of the movie script that Alex put together.  The music video  tells a story through music and no words but it sure helped with the filming process to have a concrete storyline to follow!
