I love clothing, style and make-up. I actually apply my own make-up for most shoots. I really am able to implement my talent as an artist with my face as the palette.

However, when I see the results, I forget the pain and just am thrilled.

It could be good or bad...
Went to audition and it turned out to be a joke on me.
Went to the so called address and it was a residence not a studio or office it was very weird. I left as soon as i came with the other model. We both gave eachother a look like something is wrong with this casting and we should leave together now.
The clue was there was no receptionist just 2 men. Very casual dressed and did not ask for comp cards or gave us anything to fill out. Were just talking about themseleves and they are really rich and single. The other actor and i knew that they were looking for a wife that was a model.
It was bizarre.
