Milano

Im here in Milan Italy at my model apartment. It is 3:20pm here which means its 9:15pm in the states. I arrived here last Thursday morning at 8:15am. From the airport I took a bus to Centrale Station. From there I took the subway to Lotto Station and and walked to the agency. I have no idea how I made it from the airport to the agency. I never took a bus before or a subway. I just kept asking the locals where to go in my extremely limited italian. It pays to put some effort in learning a new language especially when you are going to that country. So I arrived at the agency at 11am and as soon as I walk in my agent tells me to leave my luggage because I have 3 castings to got to. He had me go buy a map and gave me a print out of the addresses.

I was running on no sleep in the last 40 hours with just a protein bar for breakfast. I got my book and map and ventured out into the city. Surprisingly I made it to all the castings. I got back to the agency at 5:45pm. I was wanderting around the city for 7 hours getting lost and taking wrong subways. I grabbed my luggage and tried to find my apartment. I said try because it took an hour and a half to find the apartment that was 15 min from the agency....it was the most disorientated day of my life. I got home, ate, and passed out. I was back at the agency the next morning and repeated the day before.

Since then I've got their public transportation down, I know how long traveling around the city takes, what castings here are like, what to expect when I order drinks at a bar(costing an arm and a leg lol), and just so much more. Its been a little over a week now and I have been having a blast! Enjoying Italy, seeing sites, going to Fashin Shows, partying, meeting new people, and living life!

til next time

See you in Milan!

So its 5:00am and Im doing some last minute packing. Tomorrow at 1:25pm I am flying from Orlando to JFC Airport NY, I will have a 2 hour lay over, and then Im flying to Milan and will arrive there at 8:15am. Its a 6 hour flight from NY to Milan so I am staying up all night so that I can sleep on that flight. I have already downed two 24 oz energy drinks lol.

I will be sure to post once I get settled in.

I am adding some photos from a guy girl shoot I did with photographer Kathryn Page. Nicole Lucas was the model I shot with. We got on location by 6:45am to catch the morning light and shot on a sand dune/sand field. Besides the occasionaly sand fleas the shoot went perfect. Kathryn was very precise on what she wanted for the shoot and once she got the shot we moved on. She was very efficient and focused. It made the shoot quick and smooth. Nicole did awesome as well. She recently came back from Singapore and you could tell by the way she moved in front of the camera that she is very experienced. We also worked well together and it shows from our shots. It was great time :)
