It’s November 18, 2025, the eighth anniversary of Kandi’s Land!
Sorry for stepping on your Tuesday Mandy! She’s back next week.
Last year we did a retrospective of each year in my life in Kandi’s Land. Check it out here!
Let’s continue looking back at the amazing blessings I have had the great fortune to experience since our seventh blog birthday.
I was honored to walk three fashion shows and be heavily involved in another.
Amazingly, I have been asked to walk two more bridal shows in February 2026, one a mainstream show and the other the Ohio is For Lovers alternative show you see at the top of this section. I am deeply honored to do so and be a proud representative of my sisters!
I did an amazing boudoir photo shoot.
Saw the premiers of movies I was a part of.
Shot new films.
Took risks.
Saw friends (if I missed someone I apologize, this is not meant to be comprehensive).
Finally, I was bored one afternoon and created the following mural, The many faces of Kandi. Once I finished it, I felt a tremendous rush of pride. These are some excerpts of the boudoir shoot.
I guess I’ll stop here. You get the point. As the saying goes, all of this and $5 won’t cover a Happy Meal, but it does give me purpose and makes me happy (if not eternally conflicted).
