You're too small honey.

So today, i was in the CBD with Blakeybear.

We stopped off at Priscillas. I felt so STUPID because i didnt know how to enter the building. I kept pressing the intercom buttons and no one came. Finally, after about 10 minutes of flailing my arms around and whinging to Blake, i CALLED them and an agent came through the front door (that looked like a window) and spoke to me for 2 minutes. He asked for my height and double took when i told him i was 180 (LOL), looked through my book and referred me to Platform and Scoop. GREAT START!

Then i walked all the way from Priscillas in Potts Point, to Double Bay where Viviens is. I was told to have a seat as the receptionist talked to an agent there. I was informed that Florence (whos in charge of the mens board) isnt here, but the other agent looked through my book anyway and told me to email *this* *this* and *this* shot to her. Thats a start, right?

..Yeah. After that, i walked allll the way to Chic (scoop) at ..i dont even know where it was. I just remember a lot up hill hiking and it took about 30minutes. Luckily, Blake had a navigator on his phone so i was able to get there. Their office is so out of the way! I got in and saw a few of the new girls getting polaroids taken. Theyre so slim omg. I went into the commercial division of Chic, an agent stood up and told me 'youre too small, honey." LOL. I told her i was 180 and so i ended up being measured. Then she told me the mens board is super competitive so she couldnt take me on. YAY.

THEN we pranced all the way to Oxford street, where i met a fellow model called James at the Diesel store. He gave me all the scoop on Scene agency and what not. Quite juicy, i must admit. I now think i know why certain.. people.. are.. acting the way they are *cough*.

ANYWAY. I emailed Florence. Lets hope i get signed with Viviens!

"Cheer up, you're awesome"

A bit hard when im surrounded by amazingly gorgeous people.

I feel so inadequate.

And to top it all off, i have go sees with Viviens and Priscillas tomorow. The future looks BLEAK.

BLEAK BLEAK BLEAK!

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Hahaha Doutzen is so cute!

Scoop Management

I was advised by an amazing photographer to try scoop, the commercial division of Chic. Yes. A commercial agency. Screw fashion up the ass.

Anyway, I emailed them and five minutes later i get a reply from one of their agents saying that im not suitable for their agency. Thats all fine, but i cracked up when i read how generically sugarcoated the response was.

"Thank you for your interest in Scoop management. Unfortunately, although you are very beautiful, we are not able to take you on at this time. Being a boutique agency, there is quite a specific look we are after that best pertains to our particular client base."

Although i am very beautiful eh. Ah well, i'll give it another shot after i lose the 5 kilograms after procrastinating on it for the past 3 months.

Interview with Moda Management on monday at 12.

I'm not suuureeee what ima do cuz Moda is dodgy/I am dodgy. LOL.

Kill me now.

Scarves...

I had a test shoot today. It involved lots of styling experiments, tons of layering, me absorbing the technicality in studio lighting and lashings of Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme.

The 1h30mins of travelling paid off. The amazing photog was great technically and he was great at directing me. We both knew that i'd struggle in a studio with boring white walls, but he helped me out and unakwardized it all.



Thank you Mr Kent Marcus!

Fashion vs. Alternative

So there are some out there who think i should be a Fashion/Alternative Hybrid when it comes to modelling.

Everyone knows what fashion modelling is, but lets break down what Alternative modelling means. According to Wiki,
"Alternative modelling is a branch of the modelling industry that features models who do not conform to mainstream ideals of beauty. Alternative models are often niche-specific, with a personal style that represents subcultures like goth, burlesque, latex and fetishism."

So basically I'm ugly, yet skanky/kinky.. yet.. high fashion?
