Sydney's a Model!

Sydney made her modeling debut in a Japanese magazine called Shortcoco. Last month, I took both girls to the photo shoot one morning while Brian whisked Dave and Danielle around Tokyo. I didn't mind missing Meiji Shrine for what would've been my seventh visit. Plus the location was convenient to the New Sanno Hotel, where we were staying. And more importantly, it only lasted a couple of hours and all she had to do was play with Legos and hold a doll. Fun!

Here are the Lego pages:













And here are two more pages in which Sydney's holding Tottemo-chan, the doll mascot for a milk tea company called Tottemo.













Behind the Scenes:

It wasn't too difficult to get her to play along. Although she kept wanting to turn her back to us to delve into the dollhouse (not shown above, it's on the opposite page). And in between her photos, the trusty video mp3 served its purpose (read: Dora) well.






And actually getting to delve into the dollhouse provided at least 30 minutes of self-directed play between photo shoots.







Miranda and I were a little jealous (just look at her expression), so we started taking photos of ourselves and then Miranda took the floor... (well, only literally!) Sydney stole the show that day!

That's very cool! Just make sure that you get paid, when Beth left she still had one job she wasn't paid for! Congrats to the new supermodel!

Great job little Sydney! You look
so cute in your modeling debut and Japanese kids will be wishing they were you playing with the legos for many years to come!

Did she get to keep the Tottemo-chan dolls? I'm looking to augment my Peko-chan collection . . .
