I have the most wonderful news...

[alt_ginny]

I received my copy of Purest Sparkle today. I must say I love the pictures, but that's not the best part. Along with the issue was an offer to do photo shoots for them at least for a year. I would start in October with the preparation for the huge winter holiday issue. They would send someone to fetch me on the weekends that they need me; and I would stay in New London over night each time, unless its not a full day shoot.

It even said I could bring a friend along for the first shoot. I think that would be great. I am so excited about this opportunity. I never dreamed I'd get to do any kind of modeling. I am no where near cover witch standards, but the pictures in Purest Sparkle do look wonderful; better than I thought they would. I am definitely looking forward to October now! I can't wait to see what they have planned.

Mum, Dad...

May I please accept this opportunity? It would be a great experience, and they even said they would pay me. This is something I would really like to do, but I want your permission first.

My goodness, Ginny, that is wonderful news. Congratulations.

Ginny, how exciting! You'll be allowed, right? Leticia Calderwood and some other older girls modeled while they were still at Hogwarts, so I don't see why you couldn't, too. Who was your photographer? Last year at a fundraiser one tried to talk to me about modeling, but then Grandmother marched up and told him that I was meant for the stage, and that was the end of that. I can't say I'm too fussed, because she was only telling the truth, after all.

Congratulations, Miss Weasley. It must be quite gratifying to have the opportunity to earn one's own in such a glamourous fashion. Of course, you must also be pleased with the prospect of assisting your family, even at so young an age.

And I don't simply mean lining their vault, of course.

It happens I've seen the pictures and they're quite good. Naturally, Trang Nguyen is one of the better fashion photographers currently working but beyond his skill, you've an undeniable quality. I'm sure I'm not the first to remark on it. A certain ... ingenuity, I suppose, that is refreshing when captured in the confines of the frame.

Enjoy your new-found success, Miss Weasley - and do take care to preserve that which gained it for you.

I've been fielding good-natured ribbing all day at work, Gin. (The same ones who gave me no end of trouble when that bit came out in Witch Weekly about me last November. Apparently there is a small but growing faction that has all but decided that Weasleys are destined to be heartbreakers.)

Congratulations, Ginny. I know how much this means to you and I'm really happy you've got the opportunity.
