Dirty Colorado
I am widly immodest on the streets and on canvas.
My name is Tiger. I'm 21, I am an introvert, and I use this blog as a diary for the things I often don't bother to tell people in real life. I was born in Colorado, and for a while, this is where I'll stay.
I like cold weather, fashion, cities, cats, and the taste of protein shakes. I also like rum and coke, dirty house music, and talking about myself, but then again, who doesn't?

"1. There will be several days that you daydream about stepping in front of a city bus. Don’t. It will not be beautiful. It will not be brave. It will be selfish. It will be broken. Your mother will cry.
2. Don’t write for him. Write for you. Write for others like you. Write so the girl that thinks about stepping in front of public transportation doesn’t. Don’t be selfish.
3. When you will yourself to sleep and it doesn’t come- get up. It doesn’t matter that it’s 3 am. There will be other 3 am’s. Take a shower. Take two. Wash him out of your hair. Write a poem. Read the same book you’ve read 202 times again. The 203rd time might tell you something different. Don’t stay in bed- you will think about the bus again.
4. Don’t kiss him because he’s broken. Don’t kiss him because his laughter never reaches his eyes. Don’t try and fix him. Fix yourself first. Be selfish. He can’t save you.
5. Date yourself. Take yourself out to eat. Don’t share your popcorn at the movies with anyone. Stroll around an art museum alone. Fall in love with canvases. Fall in love with yourself.
6. Dress up and wear red lipstick and get drunk with your friends. They’re the ones that will pick you up. Don’t kiss him. Or him. Don’t fall asleep on strange couches with strange boys. When his hand slides up your dress walk away. Hit him. Don’t kiss him. He can’t save you.
7. Get another tattoo. Get five more. Get another hole in your ear. Don’t listen to your dad. You will still be able to get a job. Did you really want to be employed by someone like your father? Haven’t you had enough of judgmental old white men anyway? Get fuck you tattooed in tiny letters on your hip.
8. When you feel the yearning for a new city- start over. Take 200 bucks and a three suitcases. Work anywhere that will have you. Meet strange people and forget your name. Call yourself Ruby. No one will know the difference. Remember to call your mother. Don’t be selfish. Come home when you find yourself in the strangers and the small one bedroom apartment.
9. Don’t whisper evil things into your own ear. Other people are going to shout them at you. Be your own hero. Keep a sword on your key ring.
10. Don’t step in front of a city bus. It will not be beautiful. Live. Stay up all night with a boy that promises you everything and means it. Live. See shitty local bands with a friend. Wear a different band’s t-shirt. No one will care. Live. Have a baby girl with tiny fingers and tiny toes someday. Pour love into her until it’s overflowing. Live. Wake up. Staying in bed all day is not poetic.
Live. Live.
Live.
Do you hear that? It’s me. It’s your life. Wake up.

The only two other previews I can post before this is published. :)
I love working with Lynzi. She always has such an incredible vision, and this shoot was no exception.
Photographer: Lynzi Judish
Wardrobe Stylist: Nicole Schaap
Model: Tiger Kaufman
Designer: Rachel Marie Hurst
There is no good way to transition to this. This life is one that I know nothing about. I don’t know how to be glamorous, I just know how to be me. I grew up with two brothers and two cats and two parents that love me. I grew up doing homework and playing in the park after school and doing karate. I grew up getting yelled at for not cleaning my room and wondering what college I’d get into and whether or not my hair looked good that day. I grew up wearing clothes from Kohls and watching Seventh Heaven in the living room on Sunday nights.
I don’t know how to go to parties and pretend not to care. I don’t know how to sit and get my nails done and talk about the last runway show I did where what’s his name fucked up the eyeliner on my right eye and ruined the vision of what’s her name’s newest collection. I don’t know how to say thank you for the dress you’ve just given me that costs more than my last three paychecks combined. I don’t know how to pretend that this is all normal, because it’s not. “It’s that LA attitude, baby”
I need some LA attitude to wear with my LV and D&G, and when I go home I’ll strip it all off and maybe I’ll still be me.

Preview from my shoot at the sand dunes with Lynzi Judish. Got the opportunity to work with an amazing wardrobe stylist for the second time, Nicole Schaap. This momma has access to some of the coolest stuff. I got to wear vintage Gaultier AND Mugler, as well as some amazing dresses by Rachel Marie Hurst. Loved this concept and it was good to travel for the weekend. I’m glad I don’t have another shoot til Thursday cause 4 days in a row nearly killed me. I might as well get used to it though!

Like two years ago you commented on one of my Facebook pictures saying something really nice and I just saw it again and I remembered that it made my day :) You're perfect!
Wish I knew who this was. Probably someone I’ve got a lot of love for. Thanks for making MY day. |

It's pretty cool, because in five years or so I'll be able to look back at your blog, or facebook, or what have you and say, "I knew her when she was just getting started as a model." So that'll be neat.
This made me smile. :) I am truly humbled by the support system I have. Thank you |
