This is Monique, I was hanging out on the Mag Mile when she walked by. I thought she looked fabulous so I stopped her and complimented her blouse. I handed her a moo card that you can see in her hand here. She smiled and thanked me with a bit of an accent. I don't think she realized that I wanted to take her photo until I asked again. She seemed hesitant to pose and said that maybe it would be best to take one as she was walking. I had to run in front of her to get to get a few shots. I'm not crazy about having people in the background but I loved Monique's look.

After I Monique walked away a woman came up to me and asked me who she was. She thought that she was someone famous since I was taking her photo. She also said that Monique looked scary which I hope she meant "intimidating" because I think Monique is pretty attractive.
