About Me


Ok, so here's the skinny on me: I'm a web and print designer... and, let's be honest here, I'M AWESOME :) I've got my own web/print design business... Scary but true... So yes, if you want a website designed by a hot chick, then I'm your girl.
Here's the web design part: HM Concepts: www.hmconcepts.com
Here's the hot chick part: HeatherModel: www.heathermodel.com .
To be honest, I don't really model very much anymore... I've become very business oriented and love starting up new business ventures. I am always looking for bright people that would be interested in working in design and development. If you know the basics of graphic design, I am actually looking for a design assistant to teach that is interested in working part time. Let me know if you are interested!
OK THIS IS FUNNY!

Getting my appendix out!

Donate to the "Heather Needs A New Car" Fund :)

Ever feel like being a philanthropist? Well, now's your chance.

In a downward spiral of unfortunate events, I am now driving a piece of crap. Seriously. This thing sucks. Here's what happened:

A few months ago, some guy hit me and totaled my car. I ended up getting reimbursed by my insurance company for the car, but then fell ill and had to have my appendix removed. So since self employed insurance didn't help too much, I ended up spending the majority of my car funds on medical bills. My family was kind enough to sell me an old school ride for cheap, and this brings me to today. Unfortunately this oldie Explorer is now needing major part replacements, and so I'm left thinking that I just need a new car. Well, not necessarily a NEW car, but just newer than my current car.

So here's my idea: What if everyone who visited my little myspace page was willing to pitch in $1.00? Just a buck (or more if you feel so inclined). If that was the case, I may very well be able to put some money into a car that would be more environmentally correct instead of my mid-sized SUV. So technically, you'd be saving the environment too!

I've got a Paypal account that accepts paypal funds as well as credit cards. You don't even have to have a paypal account to make a donation! If you think that $1.00 for a semi-worthy cause (i.e. sort of saving the environment) is a worthwhile donation, then bless you, oh wonderful giver of charitable gifts ;)

With that said, I will of course, donate the first dollar. I know it sounds a bit silly, but hey, I thought I might as well give it a shot!


Total funds donated since 2/17/07:
$354.64

LAST DONATION WAS MADE ON: July 18, 2007 :)

My Interests

The Detroit Red Wings and eating sushi at Sushi Mon... that's about it. Oh yeah, and kicking Devon's ass in Mario Kart. BRING IT, Devonovitch!

Actually, I've found that discovering LA is one of my favorite things. I love eating out at the latest and greatest as well as dancing my cute little ass off whenever I get the chance. I have great friends that I love spending time with. Don't get me wrong though, I also enjoy the quiet evening at home... a movie... a glass of wine... you know, all that good stuff. I love to travel and I especially love laying damn near naked on a lounge chair in the middle of a white sand beach with a mai tai in one hand and SPF 4 in the other.

I just got into playing darts... I'm pretty darn good at it too! Oh yes, and I shot my first gun! I was totally nervous, but eventually overcame my fear and now I'm a bad ass. Don't mess with me people! :)

I'd like to meet:

People. I'd like to meet people. Ummm, I don't know... I guess people who aren't psycho (that helps) and don't stalk."I'm going to 'stalk' Lenny and Carl. DOH!"

Actually, I'd like to meet people that send me a message before they add me to their friends list. I'd like to call you at least an "acquaintance" before the addition. :)

Ok, a big pet peeve of mine: people who don't spell out their words (as in: internet slang and/or acronyms). It will take you 3 more seconds to write "you are great" instead of "u r gr8". I think it's disrespectful and lazy. *she says as she so gracefully steps off of her soapbox*

P.S. I will not respond to anyone who doesn't have a photo posted. Sure, it might seem trivial, but why is it that you are able to see my life through photos, but I'm not allowed to see any of yours? Yeah. Not so fair, is it? So please do not email or send me a friend request. Thanks, yo!
