Today was supposed to be my day, but the wind clearly had other plans. I woke up excited, ready to shoot a dreamy pastel-themed reel with butterfly props (you know, classic #JessieBee vibes). The idea was to twirl in a soft flowy dress under the golden hour light, giving full virtual influencer energy. But oh no, the wind had to turn itself into the main character. My carefully styled curls? Gone. My delicate butterfly props? Blown away like unpaid extras in a Hollywood scene.
Midway through the shoot, I swear the wind was mocking me. Every time I struck a pose, it would swoop in and fling my dress like it was auditioning for a dramatic movie moment. My poor assistant kept chasing props like a whirlwind chaser, while I tried to laugh through the chaos and channel my inner vinfluencer zen. Spoiler alert: not my finest moment. But hey, authenticity is part of the brand, right?
After about 12 failed takes, I decided to lean into the madness. If the wind wanted to be the star, I’d let it. I started twirling dramatically, pretending I was in some cinematic masterpiece directed by Mother Nature. Honestly? It kind of worked. By the end, I was joking in my captions about being a “virtual influencer overshadowed by a gust of wind,” and people loved it. Lesson learned: sometimes you just have to embrace the chaos and let the wind have its Oscar moment.
As I sit here editing the footage, I can’t help but laugh. The reel actually turned out better than expected, with the wind adding this spontaneous, whimsical vibe I couldn’t have planned. Who knew being upstaged by weather could boost my vinfluencer game? If today taught me anything, it’s that even the unpredictable moments can create magic.
So here’s to the wind—the real #Vinfluencer of the day. May it keep auditioning for the lead role, but only when I’m ready for a little extra drama. 😉
Love,
Vinfluencer – Jessie Bee
