Distraught, she sat down, paralyzed by what she heard, holding the sides of her head as if to block out the news she had just heard, knitting her brows and searching in the distance for an answer on what to do, where to go, and who to see. Distressed, depressed and stressed, she felt like she was instantly imprisoned, wanting to break out, get away, and regain her freedom.
Jha Barnedo has gained a lot of attention lately for her modeling, which is very emotive and expressive, both in photo shoots and on the ramp. Jha is a model to watch as she rises.

It seemed that all around her there were ego centered people who daily set out to destroy. Fatigued after the long day, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. As she looked into the mirror she saw that her hair had greyed though she was still young and strikingly beautiful, and something in that place made her feel uncomfortable and unwanted, and inside she felt compelled to leave there. Suddenly she felt a a writhing weight upon her head and in the mirror she saw a large snake coiled on her skull, poised to attack. Motionless, she stood there, terrified yet unable to escape the evil that was all about her. Rising quickly out of bed, she moaned as she awoke, looking all about her for a few seconds until she was sure that it was all a dream. But as she sat there, she realized it was a sign, and decided at that moment that she would do all she could to get away from the poisonous crowd in which she found herself these days before she was herself consumed.

The heavy beat and metallic clash of the fashion show music made the studio walls vibrate while raging fans cooled hot air from the studio lights. The photographer seemed to shoot ceaselessly as the sizzling model donned golden shades and a zebra print dress, looking and posing here and there. With one gold-cuffed hand pulling on her long ebony mane and the other tugging on her skirt to bare her leg, the model's beautiful features and easy, graceful manner made it evident why she was the biggest thing to hit the fashion scene in some time. With what seemed like perfect confidence, the golden beauty beamed in the light, shining like a rising star.

A hush filled the room as the collective eyes of everybody present looked upon the finely attired feminine form that stood before them in her flowing gown with a design that seemed to flatter and emphasize everything her entire physical and spiritual being. Topped by a silk flower on one shoulder, the cut wound its way around the shape of her bosom, plunging and rising as it revealed her delicate and toned arms and shoulders while it hugged the front and back of her hourglass and toned figure, nicely defining her slender form and arched back and accentuating her statuesque beauty. As she moved to greet her guests, her gentle manner was accentuated by her soft voice and graceful arms and fingers that so fluidly moved about as she greeted, danced and moved about the hall. A spiral of ebony hair flowed about the top of her head across and down over her face before forming a rolling rushing wave extended around to the back of her head, emphasizing the exquisite and elegant features of her breathtakingly beautiful face. Everyone was in awe of her style and grace that combined with her beauty to form poetry in motion, an iconic beauty rare to behold.

As she fluidly danced across the room, it was if she were living a dream, a lifelong vision she had envisioned long ago and that had persisted until now as she somehow knew that this moment would be real. At the break she touched herself as if to feel if this was real, the diamonds and rich red designer gown, the killer hairstyle, her starring role in a movie. It was at one time only a dream that she had envisioned as she saw herself surrounded by clouds of mist and now even that was part of her reality. Another prayer answered. Another dream fulfilled.

Look At Me Now - The photographer told her to break for five minutes while he looked at the shots he had just taken of the highly-sought after model. As she stood there illuminated by the golden sun in the closing minutes of daylight, she caught sight of her reflection in the store window and she stopped to look at herself. As she looked at herself, she thought of all the people who told her that she was chasing an impossible dream who told her to settle for less than her heart's desire, and who downplayed her beauty and talent. After weighing what they had all said, she had decided that she had something special and that she would pursue this life. As her popularity grew, she found herself in demand everywhere and her biggest job was deciding which assignments she would accept and which she would deny. As she looked at her svelte image in the glass, it was as if she were looking at another person, and that made her wonder if those who told her she would not make it saw her different. In her mind at that moment, she addressed them all: "Look at me now." With that she thought to herself, that really said it all.

As the setting sun stole the light from the room, she could feel the loneliness creep back into her soul. Resting on the couch with one hand on her bent and raised knee, she looked at the coffee table across the room as her cell phone buzzed upon receiving another text message. After what he had done to her, she knew that she could no longer see him, yet she had the urge to get up and run across the room. The pain and anguish on her face showed the love she still had for him, a love that was pulling her towards him though as her mind prevented her from giving in. She knew she could go on loving him and even forgive him, but she could never be with him again.

Reluctant to model, she agreed to pose for him only because he meant so much to her. Though she now wore shorts and stretched out her long legs, her feet were feeling the effects of the monster stilettos that even now raised her feet and fatigued her heels but gave her killer calves. With her head hanging to the side, her long lustrous locks fell fell off her shoulder and hung in the air like a generous waterfall, drawing the photographer's eyes from her penetrating and expressive eyes down along her striped blue blous to legs that he knew would easily sell the customer's silvery and stylish stilettos. Even as he pushed the trigger, the allure of her pose was hypnotic with a grace in the way she held her relaxed hands and outstretched leg combined with the beauty of her figure and face, but there was something more. The most powerful force in the image was something that could be sensed in her stare, her intent and honest eyes that gazed with interest, making him realize that the shot was an image of her love for him.

As she sat there on the porch outside the villa, Lady Ella found it hard to rest her mind as she nervously flipped through the cards in her hands. The hierarchy or kings and queens made her think of the relationship she had with the prince, a relationship that seemed perfect on the outside to everybody but over time time she felt that politics was at work in ways that led her to realize now she was more a pawn than a true queen, a figurehead that was admired for her beauty and usefulness to the royal family for her likability by the public while she sensed that his heart though at first seemingly fiery and interested had gradually grown more and more disinterested and cold since they married. The realization of how she had been used made her forget about the cards that were transformed from an ordered deck to an exploding mass that sprawled about her lap, falling to the ground. Pushing back her long dark mane away from her disenchanted face, she rose from her seat and stood in her striped stilettos, breathing deeply and making her way into the villa to end what never should have been, an unexpected trumping of the king's move to use her. No longer would she hide from the awful reality. It was time to move back into the light and out of the darkness and expose the truth.

As Guinevere set foot on the drawbridge on her way to the castle, the glowing beauty crouched to adjust her stiletto, wishing she could somehow avoid entering this dreaded place. Tilting her head to one side, she pushed her the wave of brown locks away from her face and embraced herself as a cold breeze blew over her. It is still not too late to turn back, she thought to herself as she remained crouched, not wanting to rise and go forward. Her embrace reminded her of how tight Sir Lancelot had held her just moments ago in the forest when he had proclaimed his love for her. But then in the distance she saw King Arthur looking her way with analytical eyes, making her feel that somehow he knew the betrayal in her heart.

Armed in the latest fashion, the ruby-lipped and flawless warrior stares at her competition through shadowy eyes as she prepares to wage war with her passion, strutting her way down the ramp, defying conventions and challenging norms.

After weaving a crown of thorns and forcing it upon his head, they stripped him, mocked and jeered at him, and scourged Jesus Christ with 39 lashes. The Romans then made Jesus carry a cross to the mountain where they crucified him, nailing him to it by his hands and feet. He died there six hours later at 3 pm. This is remembered by Christians on Good Friday, which occurs this week. Three days after Jesus' death, he rose from the dead, an act that came about to bring salvation, making possible forgiveness to mankind for their sins. Any penitent heart who goes to Jesus and asks is forgiven for their sins, no matter what they did in this world.
