Hejje!
Alright so the Cortina show:
Well in the morning i had a Fitting for the Robinsons show, i would be wearing 3 outfits for that show on whichever day it now was hehe.
Anyway, i left with Jemmy back to the agency. . .can't remember why :P
After the agency we decided to head to the ritz carlton hotel, where the Cortina show would be held, we met up with Sheila on the way there. . . .We walked from the agency. . . .ofc i was sweating XD
Anyway, we finally reached the place, mostly by Sheila's guidance i would say hehe, oh we also went to the wrong hotel first. . . i think that hotel was called the Carlton hotel. . .. and apparently we werent the only ones who went wrong, because we also met Yuki and Yen Zi there. So we ended up becomming a tiny little mob trying to find a bloody hotel :P
Well we finally found it. . . and it was an extravagant hotel, if you've seen a highclass hotel, you can imagine this one as well.
We walked down to the bottom floor where the Ballroom was, once down there we met all the other models. . . . Turns out there were only three guys, me, Jemmy and Jonas. . .. guess how many girls. . .. . . not 10. . . . not 15. . . but 20 haha XD
Ah well we just sat in some comfortable sofa for a while (Me, Jemmy, Jonas), i didn't mind waiting because the airconditioning was changing my current state of flasande skandinavisk man i extrem hetta, to a more calm. . . less wet, guy. . . haha
Anyways, it was finally time to do our rehearsal, we walked into the ballroom, veeery classy, White tables, champagne glasses, tiny presents for all the guests, 35st anniversary signs everywhere, the stage was very dramatic. . . and well it was really cool, i got some pictures i can upload soon. I've been bad with the pics. . i have quite a few. . . specially from Bali, ok sorry gotta upload them when i gget the chance ;)
The show was soooooo freakin simple for us guys. . . . we just walk out, grab a hold of 3 female violinists and leave the stage. . . .. . . . appart from the finale where we just walk out and stand at the end of the catwalk holding a watch for a few seconds. .. . that was it. . . . and we get paid like 400 dollars for that hahahhaha XD
Ah well, after the rehearsal (Where i mostly just joked around with with everyone, and played starwars on a piano nearby. . .)
The guys were given like 3 hours break, i'm not sure if the girls got a break at all actually. . .. it's nice to be a man ^^
Anyway, jemmy and Jonas were gonna head home to fetch their dinner suits, i already had mine so i decided to go watch a movie instead.
I watched Fred Clause. .. . . was worse than i expected but it didn't suck i guess. . ..
Anyway, after the movie i rushed back to the hotel, asked some gay guy (I figured if he's gay he mostly deffinitely works in the fashionbusiness. . .) to show me where the makeup and hair was. . . . .he took me to the 14th floor (While he and his friends serenaded me with complements. . . .. . . hrm. .. ) . . . turns out that, that was where the makeup for the dancers was gonna be. .. so i headed down to the first floor again and just walked back to were we had sat in the sofas earlier that day.
In the room next to the sofas was the makeup place, i walked in greeted everyone, jemmy and jonas were there. I Grabbed a lunchbox and started eating. . . . Chicken rice i believe. .. with soya sauce :(
After that i went to the bathroom. . . .and if you've been in singapore you know that many bathrooms are mint clean, fresh and very stylish. . .. . well this bathroom was times ten of the other average bathrooms hahaha. Instead of paper towels to dry yer hands. . . they had thick towels which you used and then threw into a hamper. . . and well it was just very high class schtek ahha
Anyway, i headed back to the makeup room, changed into my dinner suit, got my hair and makeup done. . . .not sure if i even had makeup actually. . .
Well after that me, Jemmy, yuki and Yen zi ended up on the same couch as from the morning. . . Guests were poring in and they were all dressed very elegantly and everything was just suave and. . . .schtek haha. i saw that they were giving out free champagne so i grabbed a glass.
Well eventually the show started and well. . . . the boys did our. . . . short. .. . thing. . .. haha, tis was easy XD
Well after the show me, jonas and a few girls were just outside enjoying the openbar and. . . well just having fun i guess :P
It was night already so i grabbed a cab and went home to sleepy time!
The Robinsons show:
The last show for Anastasia in singapore :(
Ah well, we started early as hell in the mornign as usualy :(
Went into robinsons and it was a simple show just walk around in the shop pretty much, we were to be smiling because it was a christmas show as well.
Nothing much happened, we were like 4-5 guys and like 10 girls or something like that.
I went to the agency, found out i had a fitting for the IKEA show on saturday which was also with Daniel Boey (Luckily i went to the Agency, becuase of some slipup (Mainly by me) i wasn't aware of the fitting. . . .and i was about to go home when i decided i'd stop by the agency for no good reason. . .. funny. . . that's the second time i've decided to make an unecessary stop at the agency when my real goal was to head back home to sleep. . . .Both times i've had something i had forgotten or missed. . . .. . both times were pretty important things as well. . . . .God is surely watching overme ;)
Anyway, i walked to the Raffles Education Institute (I asked if it was a school. . . they said it was like a university. .. . but not. . . . haha whatever that means ;)
I met two of the models i had seen earlier that day at the rehearsal, i joined them and waited for further instructions. Then came a lady and told us to follow her, we walked with her into a room where lots of girls were fixing about and stuff (Turns out these were the designers)
Welli was sitting there. . .and only more girls kept on comming. . . nto a single guy. . . turns out i'd be the only guy for this show. . .10 girls. . . and that was only the models. . . .nice. .. .
The theme was Me & My Pet. . . hahahha so i was the frog prince turned prince charming after a kiss. . . .i'll tell you guys more about that when i describe the IKEA shows hehe ;)
There were some wiiiild assed outfits in there. . . haha mine was pretty simple though, a nice greenish shirt, then i would carry a stuffed frog which when turned inside out would become a mantel. . . hence i was a prince haha. . . i also had a staff . . with a tiny frog on top XD
Ah well, after that i went back to the agency, sat for about an hour watching laggy shit quality South park on their mdoels computer, when Jamie sends me an SMS. She said, Anastasia and her would be eating Cheesecake and wondered if i wanted to join them, i was pretty bored and i was starving so i agreed. So i met them in orchard and ate some food together with them, later another model joined. . . i think her name was. . . . shit i've forgotten haha, met her before though :P
Well Anastasia left (Girls had to head back to Robinsons before the guys) I hung aruond for another hour and a half with Jamie and the other model, then i also took farewell and headed back for hair and makeup.
I ended up sitting in a tiny room on the floor (It was a soft carpet floor though. . pretty pleasant) just talking with all the guys sitting around in a circle while the girls did maekup and hair :P
Very pelasant and mysigt faktiskt haha. . . very social. . .
Anyway, it was finally my turn for hair and makeup. . . makeup was nothing, simple makeup, thank god. . . . but the hair. . .. wow. .. .
I am NOT exagerating anything when i say that the stylist filled her palm with a blob of gel equivalent to the size of a tiny Mandarine. . . . . .i'm serious haha. . .
The result?. . .. . one FAAAAT assed Back slick hahahahha omg. . . it was SOOOOOO backslick. . .. this is the first time they've actually succeeded with a real proper backslick haha. . . insane. . . iwas just. . .. laughing at myself. . . i was a bit embarassed when we were walking through the store into the backstage haha.
Well time went quickly, and i was already in my first outfit ready to go.
I had three outfits, they were all very proper. . .a bit momma's boyish haha
First was like a v-neck cotton trojja over a pink shirt with a tie and proper pants, they also put a coat over me.
Second was pretty cool actually, it was like black jacket, black shirt and stuff. . . i don't really remember but it was cool ;)
Third was like. . . university professor clothes hehe red v-neck cotton trojja with white shirt under with a black tie, brown kavaj jacket and brown pants :P
Show went well, we just had to walk around in a circle pretty much, there were like 7 platforms we had to pose on each.
Last sequence a freakin santaclause would join us out onto the walk and i dunno if he was drunk or not but this guy was fkin crazy hahaha XD Yellowing out yohohohoo, pulling the female models up onto the platforms and stuff haha funny guy XD
The show was very christmassy with christmas decorations and christmas music and christmas this and that :P. . . only thing missing was real snow and weather below 20 degrees -.-
Ah well. . .the show was over. . . .i went to City Hall and ate Chicken Rice. . .. by myself. .. . went home. .. . Slippy tiiiime!
Man. . .. i could write about IKEA and Photoshoot now. . .but i figure maybe it best to wait. . . or this post will be waaaay too long than how too longish it already is :P
Ah well!

Hope all is well in sweden!
