Sure Shots Magazine and the Fox Fur Coat

Recently, I agreed to be in a photo shoot for the cover of the official magazine of the Sure Shots -- a women's shooting group in Austin and San Antonio.   I'm super proud to be a part of this group  - they really focus on training and responsible ownership and are simply a fantastic sisterhood of shooters!
When the editors contacted me about the idea, I was happy to help - it sounded like fun!   But as the day of the photo shoot approached, I admit I was so nervous I nearly backed out... and it didn't help much that I started getting flu-like symptoms the morning I was supposed to meet up with them.  Yikes.  But I had committed, and I'm not one to disappoint, if I can help it. Besides, but you only live once, right?   So I threw caution to the wind and put on a 'go with it!' attitude. 


I met them at a downtown bar that had a film noir décor (The Blackheart);  they did my hair and make up, put me in some amazing clothes, and then presented me with a HUGE fox fur coat that was big enough to fit a very large man!  It was hilarious trying to pose with that thing on -- I felt like I was being eaten up by it.   They squished it around me, pulled and tugged at it...  I tried to keep a straight face as the thick coat, like liquid fur, moved around me on its own.  

Regardless, the photos came out fabulous -
big kudos to the photographer, Dustin Meyer (<-- Check him out!) --  and I'm glad the Sure Shots editors liked them!   I was beyond honored to be a part of such a great issue.

    I am...

    Rachea.  And I am a recovering Marthaholic.  
    There, I said it.  *sigh*   Years I wasted on perfection & trying to live up to someone else's standards.  Now I live for my own, on my own terms, & in the most unapologetic way possible.
