I'm famous!

So a couple months ago I trekked out to Payson for a friend's wedding reception. While I was getting some food, the photographer snapped a shot of me, and I didn't think anything of it.

A few days later I get a message from my friend whose reception I'd been at, and she said her photographer was trying to get in touch with me--strange.

Well, what it all came down to was that she thought I would be a good face for a billboard design she was working on...an anti-abortion billboard for a group called Feminists Choosing Life (you can read her side of the story here). I went to her house, had a little photoshoot where I did my best to look like I'd just had an abortion...

The product was a billboard in Albany, NY. I am officially famous on this stretch of highway--and my fame is helping a good cause :)


For a better picture you can check out her blog, Fife Photography.

Hello? Where in Albany? That's too crazy!

Fife Photography said...

thanks for the post! Hope you don't mind me checking out your blog!

Amy said...

Awesome! I ALWAYS thought you had the potential to look like a girl who just had an abortion. I'm just glad to see you finally living up to your potential.

Holly said...

Cindy, oh my goodness!! I think that warrants a trip to New York just to go see it...and do a few other things. :) When can we leave? ;)

Bruce said...

That's pretty funny! :)

Taber & Rebecca said...

Wow Cindy..you're certainly one to keep secrets!

Jonathan said...

Hey, that's cool! Did she send you a digital copy of the ad? (Can she?) Now you can say you're a part-time model, but you should probably keep your regular job.

Danielle said...

Wow Cindy, what an experience for you I'm sure!?!
I agree with Holly-let's go to NY and get and up close and personal view of your famous pic. :)

That's so cool! I sort of stalked you and looked a the others. You're so pretty! I think it's a good add. :)

It's a good thing you let Jessica and Alan know about this before they were driving the down the freeway and saw you up there looking so sad because you just aborted their nephew/niece! They probably would have had an accident!

Now Amy can no longer say she's the only actress in the family. Good job, Cindy, looking so sad about something you would never, ever do! Amy can't say she's the only good liar, either...

Katy said...

Wow, Cindy. Pretty neat-o. I told Richard about it and the first thing he asked was, "Cindy's not still under contract with that modeling agency, is she?" That's Richard, always looking out for you. Nevermind that your face is going to be famous as a victim of abortion. :)

Seriously, that photographer mentioned how graceful you are... Really, why did you get the genes that you did? Would you share?

Jana said...

Cindy! You graceful, captivating, anti-abortion hottie! You're my hero. At the moment I am thinking that Albany isn't THAT far away from the city... :)

I'm up for a trip! Then we can all visit David and Jana [= That is seriously crazy and cool, who would have thought?
