Deadlines

2010-09-11T03:57:00.001-07:00

I have about two weeks to get my ass together and submit 6 original looks, plus a mood board for next spring, plus two additional looks which incorporate trends for next spring and winter, plus a written section on my favorite designers. FASHION WEEK HASN'T EVEN STARTED PROPERLY YET!! How am i supposed to do an accurate trend prediction?!

'What might be the point of this?' you may ask, oh inquisitive reader.

Well, as you may or may not know, fashion design is my core. I'm hoping to be accepted into one of Australia's most prestigious fashion courses, which i only got a reserve for last year. Hopefully, this year will bring better luck and a little more wisdom from my end.

The next two weeks will be high stress and fast paced. Hold on to your seats children!!

PS. I don't know what's been happening to me lately, but i keep getting dates and times wrong. Submissions aren't due for another month. HAHA.

Fairytale Ending

2010-09-09T11:27:00.001-07:00

Screw my creativity, my social life and my moderately (extremely) good looks.

I work in David Jones now.

Life has become a joke.

PS. I think I'm going to have to get rid of that shopping addiction. Costume National doesn't come from an $11.60 per hour wage.

Is This Wrong?

Saggy Skin & Leather

2010-05-21T22:07:00.001-07:00

I think this is the first time in my life where i'm in want of a fashion related thing (in this case, a killer pair of doc martins or boots), and not been able to get them despite having a substantial amount of savings.

I guess in a way, it's helping me mature as a person. Speaking of which, I'm turning 18 in 11 days.

So is this what being old feels like?

PS. I still don't have anything planned for my 18th.

IM SUCH AN IDIOT!!

2010-05-19T09:58:00.000-07:00

Okay, so you may or may not know that I'm focusing on commercial work at the moment.

I just caught up with a guy i knew from ages back, who just so happens to also be a commercial model/actor.

We were talking about agencies and what not and i realise that i should have just gotten a signed parental slip and sent my images into FRM (and every other agency there) at the beginning of the year. Then i'd move down to Melbourne, the commercial capital of Australia, and get opportunities for a whole heap of work.

Now I'm stuck in Sydney with approximately 5 commercial castings every 6 months.

I first screw up my education by pigeon-holing myself to Ultimo at the beginning of the year and now i realise i did the same for work. It is too late to change anything now because I'm going back to study in 6 months.

OK WHERES MY CHAINSAW?!

Fashion On The Park

2010-04-19T01:53:00.000-07:00

So, i havent blogged in almost a month. Why? Well, i went and purchased myself a life! Cost me a damn fortune too! $9.95!

No, but seriously, I've been in a fashion design competition. Yes, i'm on the other side of the creative spectrum this time, designing two garments for a contest.

PHOTOS! *BAM*

I didnt win.

Someone told me...

2010-03-26T04:42:00.000-07:00

...that i "look like Adam Lambert, in a good way."

What 'good way'?

Someone please stab me through the heart fives times with a machete.

It's a hard life.

2010-03-23T22:34:00.000-07:00

It has been almost a month since my last casting. A month of lack in direction. I don't even think I'll hit my goal of doing two commercials this year.

So what do i do? Join another agency, seeing as I'm on a non exclusive agreement? Or do i go get a job in retail or fast food and live the life of every other normal kid?

PS: I got a text back from a friend who's with one of Australia's leading commercial agencies, and it appears that I'm one of the lucky ones.

Decisions, decisions...

OHai!

Versace Womenswear FW10

2010-02-26T18:18:00.001-08:00

Is it just me, or has this showseason been incredibly boring?

Versace was not exempt from that. As glad as i am with Donatella steering the fashion house back to its roots, it seems she has also readopted her old, sloppy construction styles as well as the use of dodgy fabrics. All in all, the collection looked dated and cheap.

The upcoming season is just not working for me.

This week,

2010-02-21T04:37:00.000-08:00

my agent is supposedly sending me on my very first go sees.

Uhm.. i dont know why, but over the past week, the cover of my book has become bubble central, and it seems the pleather is peeling.

S#%$&KJDF@^&$dfuck.

I got bored...

2010-02-20T00:34:00.000-08:00

so i re-did John Galliano's Ukrainian Ice Princess.

Yep.. that's skill right there.

Impulse Buying

2010-02-17T04:16:00.000-08:00

$450 later...

It looks so much better in person. The detail is lost through shitty lighting + shitty camera.

It's C'N'C by Costume National. Its RRP was supposedly $1690 and it was on sale for $860 but i made a little deal with the salesperson and got it for $450. (No, not that kind of a deal!)

Anyway, I'm not too sure if it's a worthy investment or a lapse in judgment on my part...

Sifting For Gold

2010-02-15T06:22:00.000-08:00

Your favorite insomniac has once again been staying up late and reminiscing. For the first time, I'm actually missing high school. After watching a light hearted video of a group of boys serenading the principal for Valentines day, i was reminded of it's cheerful, joyous atmosphere. Although i may have left on a sour note and friendships may fade, the feeling of such seemingly trivial events will forever be ingrained in my memory. Each and every one of them are precious pieces of gold that combine to make up the treasure trove of memories that exist in my mind...

Everything's signed...

2010-02-12T06:03:00.000-08:00

I am now a commercial kiddie.

Yay.

So, the former Prada boy, Nick Snider gets arrested for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct and continually offers the police officer a blowjob in return for his freedom.

I always knew he was one of the classier ones.

Interview...

2010-02-08T22:02:00.000-08:00

WHYYYYYY ARE COMMERCIAL AGENCIES SO FAR AWAY FROM MY HOME?!?!?!?!

I also have to prepare a CV/Bio plus bring all my pictures on a disk.

Thats new.

Unfamiliar territory shits me.

Oh look..

2010-02-05T21:36:00.000-08:00

Im plastered all over the WSI website, and apparently there are huge posters of me hanging in their campuses too..

2010-01-27T21:58:00.001-08:00

Is the Versace Fall/Winter 2010 menswear collection not the epitome of perfection?

The show began with a provocative parade of mysteriously smoldering boys decked out in biker jackets paired with slim fitting pants. Despite the rough, bad boy theme, an intricate design process was seen through the delicate balance of leather, wool, metal, mesh and silk.

Cool, subtle colours mixed with looser silhouettes came crawling in midway through the show, revealing a slightly more relaxed, multifaceted side to the Versace man of next season.

Evening looks saw the reintroduction of metal mesh in scarves and shirts, and this time, not exclusively to womenswear. The fit of the tops became more body concious, with slick evening shirts and flashy singlets balanced under looser fitting jackets and coats.

With so many concepts, textures and detailing within the one collection, why wear anything else?

If you don't love..

2010-01-20T20:53:00.001-08:00

..the Versace FW2010 Menswear collection...

Then you must be stupid.

I shall blog about it properly when i get back to Sydney.

Goodbye Sydney!

Déjà Vu

2010-01-05T00:34:00.001-08:00

Here are the newly released Versace SS10 Campaigns:

As excited as i am about Simon Nessman doing Versace, the images in whole really don't do much justice to the clothing or the models.

And uh... it seems I've seen similar images before...

Versace SS01 campaign

I dont get it. Versace has really gone full circle within the last decade. It really is sort of a shame, i was looking forward to how much Donatella could push the label forward with its new found aesthetic.

Simon Nessman...

2010-01-02T23:52:00.000-08:00

has the best walk i have ever seen on a male model.

I mean, just look at those impeccable turns.

Oh and at 00:27 in Roberto Cavalli...
Do i need to say any more?

Setting Fatties Up For Failure.

2010-01-01T21:18:00.000-08:00

Is this the new aesthetic we want to aspire to?

I really don't understand this rebellion from our size 2 models. First of all, we are creating yet another unachievable ideal, seeing as most girls gain the majority of weight on their stomach and hips, making them pear shaped, whilst the plus models, who have an even distribution of fat cells, are hourglass shaped.

Think about it, without the aid of surgery, for most girls, achieving the bodies of these plus sized models is a lot less viable than being heroin chic.

And since when did anorexia become the leading problem in the US and Australia? Do we really need to encourage obesity any more than it already is?

Plus, considering how most new designers can't even afford a slot in fashion week, we wouldn't want them dishing out twice the funding to make samples twice the size, would we?

What do these three guys have in common?

Yet Another Exciting Prospect

I am the most boring seventeen year old to ever live.

Maybe i shall stay cooped up in my nest and rely on rhythmic pulsations of my speaker to carry me through the night.

P.S. I hurt my finger whilst trying to put on a boot. One hell of a boot it was.

I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. My perception of her has been one long rollercoaster. I think I'm finally starting to gain some respect for that woman, shes one amazingly savvy business person.

Great timing eh?

The feeling returns...

2009-12-26T06:39:00.000-08:00

It took me about 4 hours to get to the photographers place for hair and makeup, but it was definitely worth it.

All seven models were super fun and we shot in front of a court house. We were to pretend there was a love triangle with the other girls gossiping. I was the man that was blindly in love with my wife (in the gold and red) whilst being spiteful toward the 'token hot guy'.

Heres a snippet of what went on behind the scenes:

Fun fun.

I've finally bought a pair of shoes that make me look tall enough when paired with super skinny jeans; usually i look like a midget when wearing thm because the proportions look odd...

But uh, wearing pointed leather shoes daily in Sydney is just a bit too dressy.

What does this mean? My proportions are suited for life in New York City? It must be my calling.

However, this does not happen for me. Why?
The plank is in front of me, but the lineup is missing, the speakers are dead and the lights have blown.

I never get to the stage where there is a warn on the soundtrack.

This week, all i have planned is an interview with Ultimo Tafe for their Fashion Design Course. Thrilling.

Maybe it's time to hold a casting call...

Retrospective

2009-11-22T23:56:00.000-08:00

In looking back at my previous posts, i must sound like a miserable obese person suffering from anorexia nervosa to an outsider. In all honestly, when it comes down to crunch time, i'm really not that obsessive over my weight, nor am i always such a negative nancy. This space is merely a form in which i can release my insecurities and emotions, and sometimes also create posts with my strange sense of humour oddly threaded through the dialogue.

****

Anyway, today i bumped into Leiden K from Scene Models again. She is SO SKINNY now. You may be thinking that this is a start to another rant on my oh so devastating struggle i have with anorexia, and you may be about right. With her being 6'1 and rail thin, It's a slap in the face. TIME TO GET BACK INTO PEAK CONDITION.

So Uppy and i are going to just wing a shoot on Thursday. That should be interesting - lugging a suitcase around the CBD, changing in public and posing on public property. I hope it's not going to be 40degrees yet again, Uppy wants to shoot me in a mink coat.

Spin, Spin.

2009-11-19T22:25:00.000-08:00

I am once again, friendless, ugly and fat. Life is truly a cycle, as i have reverted to the same person i was 6 years ago.

People, once again, seemingly cannot surpass the threshold to my personality and they judge purely on face value. Even some people who already know me seem to act this way.

As my values and attitudes progress, theirs do not. They are not able to accept my new self, nor am i willing to compromise. Hence, we drift.

As subtle the word drift may sound, for me, it is truly quite sudden. Everyone slowly establishes an emotional disconnect with me, yet on the surface, they're peaches and cream. Then, at one given point and time, i do something which causes a social avalanche. They either all just drop off the face of the earth or treat me with hostility.

Ah the cycle begins once again. Time to find new friends, establish myself in new territory and hopefully nothing disastrous happens.

I feel like Gemma Ward

Oh come to me, the force of liposuction.

I am so confused. I have been following my infamous, infamous diet, of which resulted me in being labeled anorexic by many (AND as opposed to before, i've been excercising), yet I've been exponentially gaining weight. I've even lost definition in my arms.

Through my 4unitmathexpert calculations, i shall officially become overweight by April next year.

But for some reason, i doubt my obesity photos will land on the desk of BryanBoy.

Bittersweet Motivation

2009-11-13T01:54:00.000-08:00

For some odd reason, I'm tempted to get off my ass and shoot right this moment.

Maybe it's because i don't want to become stagnant, now that all of high school is officially over.

Suddenly, though, I'm hit with a pang of pessimism. If Platform doesn't even want an interview with me anymore, who would? How am i going to build my career if I remain a freelancer forever?

Shall i just take the safe path and go to Tafe and work in retail on the side?

The end of my HSC brought so much optimism and joy, but now, its consists of much uncertainty.

Babbling on about art.

2009-11-11T04:18:00.000-08:00

Today, i came to the realisation that i will no longer be getting a band six for my HSC art result. I realised, only about five hours after the exam, that i bullcrapped more than half the first section due to the fact that i couldnt recall any art agencies and how i was supposed to write about them, nor i did not understand the image given to me in another question.

Yay, no ArtExpress for me. Apparently i was a 'promising' student.

I then ran off to Calvin Klein and got my first luxury peice of non apparel. I shall not reveal what it is yet, for it shall be debuted at the formal.

I just hope i dont throw it into the spa whilst i'm in my little drunken mode during the after party or something.

I now feel like i have completed my journey toward academic failure. Hooray.

It has come to the point where...

2009-11-06T20:11:00.001-08:00

diet alone isn't going to cut it for my body.

I've always been quite the lazy one when it comes to taking care of my body - i used to only eat about 5000kj a day and that kept me quite slim. However, now that I've taken on more food on a daily basis and I've also been doing weights, I've built quite the amount of muscle that I'm satisfied with. With that, though, came quite a bit of fat and I'm not fitting my clothes properly now. I really have to step up my game and cut down on the junk food, focus on maintaining a high protein diet and do some cardio. I have never bothered with cardio in my life, but ive concluded that in order to maintain my muscle mass, i can not cut down on my food intake, so i have to find another way to burn allll those kilojoules i consume.

Yay!! A life chained to the treadmill. I never seem to have the right balance of work and play. I used to obsess over the amount of kilojoules i would eat in a day and now i have to get off my ass and run. Sounds like a plan.

Oh the sacrifices i make for my own vanity.

Whoa.

Midnight Project

2009-11-04T05:21:00.000-08:00

So i know this blog is usually rants about models or school, but i decided to do something i haven't done in a while, a voice over.

Yes, i actually used to do voice overs. In fact, i wasn't all slim and pretty as i am now and i did have other ambitions. For example, a train driver when i was 4, an architect when i was 12, a newsreader when i was 14 and so on.

So here is the result:

The music, choice of images and slide were all done by me, along with the voice, of course.

By the way, this video came out of a creative spur i suddenly had after hearing my friend's ad for Avon on the radio.

Ahaha i love watching raw moments.

Who is this person?!??!

2009-11-03T19:31:00.000-08:00

He looks SOOO familiar!

I'm sure I've seen him on a cover or ad campaign before, but now i'm thinking it might have been somewhere else i shall not disclose.

If you're anything like me, you'd probably understand why I'm so baffled at this picture. [As in i found this whilst browsing through GWiP]

If he's a model.. then WHY?!?!?!?!? What's he trying to say??

EDIT: Okay, after some severe detective (stalk) work, I've found out that he is Tyler Davin. He's done a few covers for DNA and Mens Health and whatever. I should have known he was a fitness/glam boy.

So I've decided..

2009-11-01T23:58:00.000-08:00

that Shanghai is no longer on my destinations list for when i go to China next month.

Why? Shanghai would be purely for work. With already 11 agency interviews planned out in Hong Kong, I'm not sure how productive it would be since the Shanghai agencies are pretty much the same ones in HK.

So with 11 agencies lined up over there, I'd be a tool not to get signed. However, this whole agency thing is slightly overwhelming for me because if i do get signed, i'll be staying in China for a year or so with most probably no visits to Australia. Plus, im leaving with no formal goodbye and with no clue as to what the future holds.

On a similar note, my mum wants to holiday in China for 35 days! Obviously i'd be staying in China for an extended period of time if i did sign a contract, but 35 days for a holiday makes me a little nervous. A month away from what i call home is so... scary!

Well, either way, i'll be shitting my pants once the plane departs from Sydney.

The Queensland Boys

2009-11-01T07:26:00.000-08:00

So here's another midnight rant from your favorite insomniac!

It's currently 2:27am and i need to get up early tomorrow to do makeup for a shoot in Mosman but my sleeping patterns are severely messed up.

As per usual, I'm trolling through Model Mayhem, this time, noticing that all the athletic Gold Coast boys hang out together! All of them!! How strange is that?!

Why cant we have all the slim, editorial guys hang out together here in Sydney? Is it because we have 2 kabajillion of them and competition is fierce? Is it because Sydney is too much work and not enough play? Is it because us editorial kids are all stuck up skanks?

We should totally get together and play footy together!
...Oh wait. We don't do that do we? Coffee and Cigarette fueled gossip sessions are only so good for a certain amount of times before we screw ourselves over with our mouths and the claws come out.

Well i guess i just answered my own question!

PS: Actually the real reason is probably because I'm out of the social circle altogether. I only just came up with that solution about 15 minutes after i wrote the blog. Smart cookie, i am.

I'm a racist gay person

2009-11-01T04:35:00.000-08:00

I may or may not have had a small tiff over something completely trivial with someone who I'm sure is a genuinely kind person.

Oh who am i kidding?! That person deserves to die a horribly painful death. Both him and his sidekick. It angers me SO SO much that when we, as a discriminated kind, come together as a community in order to find social acceptance, we somehow still find ways to discriminate.

Today, for example, i lost my temper at someone who was completely condescending toward me in relation to the way i dress. This person somehow came to the conclusion that i shop at low end retailers without any supporting evidence. As petty as this may seem and as much as i do actually shop in all types of fashion stores, he really did cross the line. I know i shouldn't have gotten angry over such an insignificant issue, however this person continually puts other people down and he has his little side kick backing him up. Plus, people oblivious to his bitchy remarks have been completely defensive of him when people react. Its just extremely frustrating for me seeing people come into a community built solely for the purpose of supporting others, whilst they continue to discriminate regardless of this.

I have seen other examples where, out of sheer ignorance, there has been discrimination over race, class, physical attributes and whatever the hell else they can think of with people in the same community. This strikes me as extremely stupid and hypocritical, that we're together because we're being descriminated against, yet they still discriminate againts others because they fail to see past social steriotypes and poorly judged generalisations.

So, basically, i think the world sucks right now.

END RANT!!

PS: I'm not actually a racist gay person. It's just an oxymoron i thought was suitable for this post.

Sporty and Wholesome

2009-10-29T18:25:00.000-07:00

I think i have somewhat undermined my ability to book a variety of jobs. The words 'sporty' and 'wholesome' have come up in a brief.

It scares me to tears because this sporty concept is new to me and and its damn obvious i have a tiny, if not, no chance of getting picked because i think I've taken my portfolio in an extremely editorial direction.

Come onnn!!! I can do sporty and wholesome!!!
...in my own kooky, editorial way.

My faulty email service...

2009-10-29T02:03:00.000-07:00

meant that there was a failure to notify me of any new emails for all of yesterday and this morning. Therefore, i was metaphorically oblivious to the movement of the earth and i was left sitting in my computer chair thinking that my work and social circles had become stagnant.

So at 2am in the morning, out of sheer boredom, i checked my own Model Mayhem page and noticed a new tag.

Visit www.rathana.com.au , I'm sure you'll be able to guess what that tag was about.

That picture is pretty damn smouldering, if i do say so myself.
Anyway, I was so flattered/excited that i couldn't fall asleep until 3:30am.

Long live insomnia.

EDIT: The background image has been taken off. Oh well, at least it ran for a few days.

It's been a while...

2009-10-26T06:32:00.000-07:00

since I've blogged partially, as most of you should know, because of my HSC. For those of you who dont know what the HSC is, - shifty eyes- its pretty much University entrance exams, or High School Certificate.

So, what else have i been up to other than trying to study (procrastinate) my ass off? You may ask.

Well, i have been tweeting with Bruna Tenorio. Yes. THE Bruna Tenorio who has multiple campaigns under her belt including one with Anna Sui, and she's walked Versace like 4 times.

She's thuper duper nice!

However, i have NOT been booking test shoots, been receiving test shoot prints and CDs back, neither have i submitted to Platform yet.

Cmon Jysla Kay, maths will be over today! We can book a reshoot!

Guess who Gucci sues? Just Guess.

2009-10-17T19:09:00.000-07:00

By Erik Larson

May 6 (Bloomberg) -- Gucci Groups U.S. unit sued Los Angeles-based Guess? Inc. for trademark infringement, accusing the apparel company of using a network of wholesale buyers to sell imitations of Guccis best-selling designs.

Guess allegedly sells knockoffs of Guccis famous green-red-green stripe designs and interlocking GG patterns on footwear, wallets and other accessories, according to a complaint filed today in federal court in New York.

Gucci, the luxury company owned by Paris-based PPR SA, said the products are part of a sophisticated and elaborate scheme to target Gucci, to create products that are similar in appearance to the most popular and best-known Gucci products.

Guess sells the alleged imitations through its own retail stores as well as factory outlets, Web sites and a vast network of third-party companies that buy the disputed goods wholesale, Gucci said in its complaint. The company has more than 1,000 stores, according to its Web site.

Guess has replicated entire Gucci product designs, to the point that there appears to be a concerted effort to Gucci-ize defendants product line, Gucci alleges.

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!

Viviens

2009-10-15T05:07:00.000-07:00

It was so close, i could almost taste it.
Then it was taken away after much indecision.

Why?
Because of something i cant change.

"You only need to grow three centimeters, then you can come back"

I need a miracle to happen.

SO CLOSE to one of the top editorial agencies in Australia.
It just made the fall even more painful.

You're too small honey.

2009-10-13T21:11:00.000-07:00

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!

Jack

"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

Scoop Management

2009-10-11T23:15:00.000-07:00

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.

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

Kill me now.

Scarves...

2009-10-08T01:17:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-08T01:01:00.000-07:00

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?

Interesting...

Sessilee vs. Chanel [part2]

2009-10-06T22:13:00.000-07:00

Now i have video proof. TEEHEE

"Eniko, dont play!"

Thats all.

So today..

2009-10-06T01:12:00.000-07:00

I was scouted by Moda Model Management.

At the moment, i'm sort of in my doubt phase. Maybe it was my knowledge of the industry that got them to scout me - to save face - because every informed individual should know modelling/acting courses are bullshit.

Admittedly, they are a legit agency. But im still a bit iffy on them. UGH.

SOMEONE give me some answers. PLEASE.

I hope i get a callback soon.

Jack

I haven't thought about it for a while..

2009-10-05T06:14:00.000-07:00

but maybe it is time to slam down the breaks.

All the planning I've done in the past, maybe it was for a valid cause.
All these thoughts of the past have resurfaced.

The road ahead looks bleak.
Maybe it is time to stop the engine.

So...

2009-10-04T20:42:00.000-07:00

people actually read my blog eh?

Well for those of you who like to do little bit of talking, i think you may be disappointed to find that i have cut out cigarettes from my life. Maybe not forever (who knows the future eh) but definitely for the time being.

On another note, IM PISSED OFF!! I accidentally double booked Wednesday. IM SORRY ROSA!! ..now i have to bug Kent to let me off early haha. UGH. Actually no, i'll have to work my ass off and get the shots quickly and hope that styling dosent fuss over me too much. LAME.

Jack

Back it comes

2009-10-02T18:46:00.000-07:00

I'm testing once again. Not wise right before my exams i know, but seriously, they mean nothing to me. I still do want to do well, but really, they're not really helping me all that much.

I'm booking as much work as i can these holidays, plus sending in submissions to all the major players here in Sydney.

My next test is on wednesday. Why is there a lack of stylists here in Sydney? My wardrobe does not compensate for the amount of test shoots i have. I mean i have my own style of clothing and some pieces are versatile, but you can only play around with one look so many times. Speaking of which, i must get my formal shoes on Tuesday now, because i would probably need them for the shoot.

On wednesday, i shall morph myself into a hybrid of images from Blade and Matrix with gothic influences.

An image from the inspiration board.

It shall be interesting. I haven't shot in a studio in a while.

Jack

BAM!

2009-10-02T07:33:00.000-07:00

It's suddenly hit me that i shall never see some of my beloved friends ever again. I shall not be in this preprepared environment, where everyone is put together.

It didn't hit me when i graduated, it didn't hit me on our last day at the picnic. So why now?

Well, Debbie deactivated her facebook account. Petty, it seems. However, it was in a way, symbolic, yet still very literal for me.
She shut the door of communication between us (and others of course, but im ranting on from my perspective). She was one of the very few people i truly appreciated, yet i would probably never see her again in the future , like many other people - I'm not being pessimistic, im being realistic.

I guess this is almost like an official goodbye from me, except no one is here to listen.

I really did enjoy my time at Girraween. It was one of the best experiences in my life.

<3

I was supposed to stop smoking today.

I had two when i was out with a friend.

I hate myself.

Finished my pack - not buying a new one.

Gonna go swimming at least twice a week and run twice a week.

And do weights 4 times a week.

Come back to me, oh habits of the past.

It's hit me.. [edited]

2009-09-27T07:05:00.000-07:00

I was discussing the idea of a test shoot together with Uppy.

*Edit: deleted content - IM NOT A SHIT MODEL!*

Im hoping to do a test with her, where i shall be among tall tall grass in amazing natural light. The styling shall be effortless and neutral. Like this:

Looks effortless dosent it? Well.. it aint gonna be easy.
Lets just hope i dont kill someone, haha.

Jack

PS: *sigh* Chad White is just pure perfection. I shall never, ever forget him.

Versace Spring Summer 2010

2009-09-25T20:36:00.000-07:00

With a large dosage of technical fabric, perforated leather, metal and heavy, loud prints, it seems like this season, Donatella chose to take a back seat in pushing the house forward. Instead, 80s are once again, a prevalent theme with many of the pieces carrying the aura of old school Versace.

She went so far as to create a transparent plastic miniskirt! At least vintage Versace fanatics and old clientele will be happy *Paris Hilton, I'm looking at you*.

Despite the ressurection of Gianni and trashy DV, some of the design concepts in the end with the geometric evening gowns are refreshing, and upon closer inspection, the workmanship in many of the pieces are phenomenal.

Quite a lineup of models were featured. There were two aussies - Skye Stracke and Abbey Lee Kershaw, who opened and closed the show. They also had one black model - Chanel Iman (ironic that im writing about her in a positive light eh?).

Of course, the regulars like Natasha, Lily (who both looked a little chunky in a poorly chosen garments) and Vlada were there.

Speaking of Vlada, is it just me or does it seem like EVERYONE is going a lighter shade of blonde (or going blonde if they werent before)? Vlada, Carmen, Kasia.. WHATEVER. The only model who hasnt fallen under the pressure of uniformity on the runway is Karlie Kloss. She went a shade darker in brown.

Naomi and Tyra all over again

2009-09-25T20:00:00.000-07:00

According to Grazia, Sessilee Lopez was chucking a tantrum - throwing chairs and screaming at people backstage Jeremy Scott and Nathan Jenden during London Fashion Week.

She recently tweeted:
"I am over the b.s"
"I feel like a fool and it hurts so bad"
"Blah blah blah blah sounds good but I'm over it"

Why? You may ask.

Well, her mummy steps into the picture and reveals all with a tweet to Chanel Iman saying "u shouldn't try to sabotage the other black models. It's bad karma. Don't b friends only in front of the cameras."

Real classy, girls.

Rawr.

His 'other' name is Mike Kegelman; stalkers, eat your heart out (i wont even bother explaining HOW i ended up finding this out).
He is listed as 6'2 but is really 194cms tall which is 6'4.
He was also a 'regular hot kid' until 06, when he signed with Major.

Nice to know SOMEONE worked their ass off for at least 3 years before walking for someone like Dolce & Gabbana. *Jesus Luz, im looking at you*

Sweet Taste of Yesterday

2009-09-22T06:54:00.000-07:00

It seems like both trivial and more significant things have become less enjoyable. I don't find as much satisfaction in what used to get me ecstatic.

I believe social dynamics play a large part in this.

Maybe it's because of myself and my environment. I have no where i truly belong to anymore, possibly because i am now a hybrid between femmeboy-fashionfreak and regular guy with straight tendencies.
Many are stuck in the past and don't see i am evolving away from my uberdubergayness. However that is not my main concern.
I'm stuck between two social archetypes and have no where to go. On a literal level, all the girls dont socialise with me anymore because they don't see me as one of them anymore, and i still find it difficult at times to completely immerse myself in ..'guy world'.
The fact that i'm naturally drifting away from everybody does not help either.

Maybe it's because i am brainwashing myself into thinking that everything is superficial and is not really worth it; I am over analyzing every single detail in my life.

Maybe it's a mix of both.

Maybe i'm just too sensetive.

I don't know. All i know is that life really sucks right now and i'm not sure i can rebuild anything remotely enjoyable that is based around social circles.

Lyle Lodwick, i have a confession to make. Sorry babe, you're not 'it' anymore.

AJ Abualrub here i come!!

This boy is AMAZING. *sigh*

Being the amazing detective (stalker) i am, i got hold of a picture of his drivers license too.

It's such a cute photo!

PS: If he's listed as 6'2 by his agency and he's actually 6'3, and Matt Gordon is 6'3.. Does that mean Matt is actually 6'4? And if they're high in their 6's, does that make me 5'2? Bittersweet nothings. I HATE MY LIFE.

Oh Hai.

Guess who the new girl on the block this season is?

It's MARTIN COHN!!

I'm not even joking.

So.. Recently,

2009-09-13T23:32:00.000-07:00

I've been wondering who actually booked the jobs i didn't.

There aren't many guys that usually are at the same castings i am, as in there aren't many male models around.

So if i didn't book a job, someone i know must have booked it.

So i wonder who booked the editorial and magazine covers, who booked that bloody look book shoot that was f*cking good pay (by good pay i mean work for 4 hours and make more than what a lot of people make for 2 weeks working full time) and who booked the ad campaign which would go up on billboards in Sydney.

I wanted a cover, billboards and money!!

Im hoping to see who gets those bookings. Because.... *stab stab* ;)

Jack

PS: Those photographers really can't spell.

PPS: That tub of strawberry shortcake icecream aint helping either.

What is this.

2009-09-12T06:39:00.000-07:00

Did someone say lighter?

The trigger is pulled.
A rush of adrenaline pulses through my brain and rushes through to my arms.
They reach out to a crumpled box
Filled with individually wrapped flakes of delight.

Standing sleepily,
My hands grip around the bars incarcerating me in the room
Swirls of smoke creep out the window.

Such days of youth
Shall be of regret once shadows fall upon my face.
But i don't care.

Im a little slow

2009-09-09T07:57:00.000-07:00

I FINALLY get the whole Suvi the slut thing!

Apparently Suvi Koponen lost her virginity to Danny Beuchamp on a flight of stairs backstage some show.

..........Never EVER shall i view Danny Beauchamp in the same way. EVER!!!!

*barfs*

Thats all.

Bread and Butter

2009-09-09T06:48:00.000-07:00

As many of you know (well most of you dont), catalogues are a model's bread and butter.

The opportunity for shooting with a suit company paying .. quite a bit (a lot), i shall not disclose the amount, for 4 hours has come up.

..Its situated on Wednesday or Thursday.

Music HSC is on Wednesday. I'm asian. My chances are slim.

Plus-size models doing big girls no favours

2009-09-08T09:31:00.000-07:00

WHY are we suddenly lavishing love on the larger ladies given that half of all Australians are overweight, and one-fifth of us are morbidly obese? ...

But in what is hailed as a breakthrough for "normal" females, big women are the latest fashion craze.

Indeed, this month's Fashion Week In Melbourne abandoned the usual stick insects for some models who were size 14-18.

It was a breakthrough to see fashion shows using not just ridiculously skinny models that make thin women feel fat.

But was it really a breakthrough for good health?

Let's be honest.

While these women might make us feel better about our bulging butts and guts, the truth is, few women over a size 14 are in a healthy weight range. ...

But there are also many larger people who are just plain fat, and who would be better off being encouraged to lose weight rather than always be told it's okay to be overweight. ...

Let's face it, Australians - like Americans - do not need any encouragement or permission from role models in the media to put on weight. ...

But it's time to get real - fat people may be happier but they're also digging their graves with a fork, and we're all paying for it.

I don't want to just see the latest fashions on models who have to run around in the shower to get wet.

AMEN!
