south beach living

So I am staying on South Beach close to Flamingo Park. Castings here have been few and far in between. So to save the days from blurring together I keep myself busy with workng out and eating as healthy as my wallet can handle. And then the occasional going out.
I'll get back to my workouts and diet and go into detail on each in another post.

I went to the WALL Night Club at the W Hotel on Collins and 26(if I remember correctly). Usually to get into clubs you just have to say that you are a model and tell them your agency, rarely they will ask for a comp card. But to get in this place you need to be of some decendent of a royal family or be more famous than a celebrity....I cannot stand waiting outside to get into a club. The doormen standing there with their clipboards and the bouncers with their arms crossed. All looking at you like you arent worthy of getting into this best thing since sliced bread, you're cool if you party here, all sacred bar filled with flashy lights, bottles of alcohol, head pounding music, chics in skimpy clothing, and old fat dudes in suits (no offense lol). I managed to get in by a friend who is a photographer that stepped out and got me. As soon as I got to our table a large group of people were walking out. In the front of the group were two bouncers leading the way and a white guy with blondish brown hair behind them with the crowd of people trailing behind. As they walked by me the white guy bumpede into me and I was able to see his face. It was Leonardo Dicaprio! He seemed annoyed and just wanted to get out of the "too cool for school joint". I thought that was pretty cool seeing that he is one of my favorite actors.

Anyways I'll post more about what specifically I do for my workouts and what I have been eating to stay in shape.

laptop broke!

So my laptop broke not even a week after my last post. Go figure. Im using my aunts laptop right now. Quite a few things happend since my last post. A crazy night out, new test shoots, and schemes to get to NY.

2011 more personal

I've slacked on new posts recently, sorry about that, it wont happen again :P
People have been telling me to make my blog more personal. To add more things about myself and what interests me from day to day, and not restrict it to just whats happening with my modeling career. So, I will do just that. Im gonna try and be less left-brained and more right-brained and share things that show my personality and my look on life.
Thanks for still keeping up and I will post again soon, real soon ;)

Also, I just got a Twitter account to aid me in this endeavor

A Week in South Beach

My agent told me there was room for me in one of his model apartmets and that I should come down to Miami for a bit and go to some castings. So I took a train from Orlando down to Miami and then a cab to the apartment in South Beach. When I got to the agency in the morning my agent told me to go to the beach immediately and get my tan back. I lost it when I was in Milan. So every day I have been going to the beach for at least an hour. The weather is perfect and the water is a bit cool but not bad. Casting wise, it was a slow week. Now it being a couple days from Thanksgiving I am heading back to Orlando. Planning on living in South Beach for season January through March.

Alvaro Beamud Cortes

Alvaro is a photographer that I shot with in Milan. A cool guy and a great eye for the camera. And he looks like the famous spanish male model Jon Kortajarena lol

My agency in Milan said that my book needed a sharp european edge so they set me up with Alvaro. They told me he is very good and had me wait until he became available to shoot. Stylist Lorenzo Posocco worked with Alvaro during the shoot. He put together all the pieces you see in the images. The shoot went great. We worked well together. I understood what Alvaro wanted and the shots just came with ease. And looking at the pictures I can see why my agency wanted me to wait and shoot with him instead of shooting with someone else.

Since the shoot our pics have been up on a few fashion blogs.

Here is one of them
