4 shows and a failed ending. . . (Part 2 of ?)

Hellooooo, time is 4.09 and i've gotta leave at half past 4, for another casting :P so i'll make this brief ;)
The day i'm talking about this time, is saturday.
Once again we were told to arrive early at the mall and then do absolutely nothing for about 4 hours haha, suuuucks.
But i ate breakfast at burgerking because of a stressful morning and at one point Champ joined me.
Well. . . . nothing really happened after that. . .. Champ went and got a massage (I skipped it because it cost a bit :P) and i just kinda wandered aimlessly around the mall again haha.
but at 12o'clock it was time for makeup and hair, i was kinda hoping i'd be doing the winder show first, because i was hoping for a little less gay looking makeup, hairdo and i was loathing the thought of wearing speedos again haha.
Buuuuut nope. . . it was Garden show first, so once again on with mm thick makeup, however i did get to skip the backslick haha.
So then until 1-2pm i just hanged around the stylist place and talked to the other models (Now i wasn't the only freakshow in that area so it wasn't as embarassing haha)
We got called down into the backstage and were told to put on our first outfits. The coreographer told us all to pose a bit longer so that the photographers have a chance to get a picture (He told us all but i have a feeling it mainly meant me haha XD)
So i asked the others and they said, just spend like 6 seconds on each platform.
This time i wasn't nearly as nervous, i breathed calmly and was a bit excited even.
According to Cathy (Who was there once again with my grandparents) it was much better this time, i walked slower and more confidently. . . i also posed longer . . .. even with the speedos on haha.
I felt so relieved afterwards because i knew i'd never have to wear those speedos again haha :D
So now we were once again left to wait in the mall until about 5pm which was when the next show was gonna start.
This time i stayed in the backstage together with 2 brazillians; Egon and Diego, and Champ was there as well.
It was pleasent to just sit there and talk so that was nice hehe.
Then it was time for winter show makeup. . . . . .. . .. . and oh my god. . . .. . . you'd think wearing being bronzed to shit and having rosy cheeks was embarassing. . . . This time i had white/silvery makeup on my cheeks, chin, nose and forehead. . . . . it also glittered. . . . .. . and i had to wear a massive amount of silver lipgloss. . . . .. . . . I MEAN COME ON!!!!!!
haha was pretty funny though, we were only 4 guys at the show and as soon as the stylist would turn their back on one of us, the guy would quickly white off the lipgloss. So the stylists had to apply the lipgloss several times haha.
Also when the stylist was done with the extreme facial makeup, we were alowed to wait outside of the styling room. Bad idea.
All the guys just went to the nearest mirror and started whiping off as much makeup as they could hahaha. And well i'd say we succeeded in making it look a little less gay anyway haha :D
Then after a while we were called back into the backstage where we eventually put on our first outfits, and out we went onto the catwalk again.
This time i was barely nervous at all, these 3 shows were a lot of fun actually. Fun people as well.
The clients, ie. the people we were doing the catwalk for, they liked me and told me to come to 2 more of their shows on the 21st and the 27th. That time it will be some chocolate show. . . i think i heard something about chocolate coated accessories or something. . . sounds wierd haha.
Anyway, i had to quickly leave the mall because i was to be at a test shoot at 7pm. . . .. the time was 7pm. . .. haha
So i rushed and rushed, and ended up in an apartment where they had set up lights and clothes and what not.
The stylist at the test shoot quickly styled me up a bit (more makeup, more crap in the hair)
For the first shot i was wearing an open hood (Exposing my chest) and thai boxing shorts, complete with boxing gloves haha. They also sprayed my face and body with water to make it look as if i was sweating :P
My second outfit was an intenses purple shirt, with a white suit and white suitpants. I was also holding a cigar haha
The third outfit was, some winter coat, so i was told to look as if i was freezing. .. . . . i'm from sweden. . . i know this ;)
The fourth outfit was some combination of fredperry clothes, complete with hangslen (Suspenders?)
The test shoot was soooooooo much fun, and the person in charge loved me ahha, she was really nice and directed me, and told me how to pose so it was easy.
There was also a gay assistant who kept taking pictures of me with his mobile, then after the shoot he wanted to get his picture taken with me a few times ahhaha. . . . . man. . . .
Ah well i came home at 12.40, around that, so i went to bed as fast as i could because i had to be at Centrepoint Mall the next morning at 10 am :P
Well now i gotta run off to my next casting! GOTTA RUN!
SEE YAZZZZZ

Love

Alex

Heloooooo Alex!
Just now Farmor and I came home from the influenza vaccination at Bergshamra. A pleasant sweet middle age nurse took care of us. It would be nice if such vaccination stipulate several visits to the same nurse with short interval.
Very mucch gladly surprised to see a new long,detailed post from our loving boy. At first look,I thought it was the same one as previous. No, it is a new fresh one. Thank you, we appreciate your
dilligent,hard work.
You writ "I'll make this brief,however,you made it long one.
Are Singaporeans lacking in organizing ability? Made you wait för 4 hours doing absolutely nothin? Give a punch on the nose of responsible person.
I got impression that you are often eating bergerfood. Are you eating fruits and fiberrigh food,Farmor recommends such food. Ask for Granma's opinion.
So you skipped massage that cost money. For the first time in my life I observed that you are cost minded economical person, very good.
What's winder show? Less gay looking? A kind of Micrsoft's propaganda show? One more question, what's speedos? Apparel for fast car driving? I would like to see you with backslick hair with mm thick makeup. Must be something to look at and remember for life. No, no 6 seconds not enough, from my experience as a photographer, you must pose for,atleast,10 minutes. Ask Cathy and Grandparents.
Now your granma in Sweden calling me for dinner. I must go.
Have nice,pleasant stay in Singapore. Love /Granma&Granpa
