Allas! Time to spare!

Hola PEDROOOOO!
Hello!
Ojj ojjj ojjjj, vad de kör med mig här borta hahaha, kommer hem varje kväll med bultande fötter och är alltid för trött för att tänka på det minsta lilla haha!
And today is no exception!
Anywho!
Let's pick up where i left off, these events may not be in chronological order, mind you, but i'll do my best :P
Ok so i've had a few more tvc castings (Commercials), one was for sony camera, i had to give them a facade of random cheery facial expressions. . . so i did everything from forming my tongue into a flower, to just looking outright riddiculous. . . but hey it's show biz right?
The other commercial casting was for a condo (Great. . . as if i am old enough. . . ), i had to look. . . uhm. . . let me quote "Content, cheery, satisfied. . .. yet. . .. artistic and serious". . . . so i gace them my best Cheery-satisfied-yet-serious-and-artistic look. . ... however the heck that looks. . .. A sort of squint with a charming smile was my best bet haha XD
I had to do various movements, from catwalk, to staring out of the window, to laying down in my sofa, to locking eyes with a close friend haha!
Well, as usual i just have fun during the TVC castings. . . i like acting it's a lot of fun!
Ok let's take the FHM shoot now;
Well. . . i walk into the agency one day, Ting, one of the bookers approach me with a big smile and excitedly tells me she has sent my comcard to FHM and that they have confirmed me for a fashion spread. . . . WHOOOO! Chris was very impressed haha :D
For those of you who DON'T know what FHM is. . . you can either go to the box next to my bedsofa and take a look at the magazines there, OR you can go to the homepage http://www.fhm.se/
OFC i was very excited about this because i wanted more pictures for my not-yet-impressive-enough-portfolio-for-japan!
And well with a few ripouts from FHM together with the Men's folio pictures, i'll at least have a few pics from serious magazines hehe.
I didnät know what to expect, i was kind of hoping i'd get to pose with some half naked Euro-Japanese chick, but nope i didn't get that priviledge haha! NEXT TIME!
Anyway, i take a trip to Mediacorp HQ and wait around for a while before the director of the shoot comes and tells me it is time. GREAT guy, charismatic and friendly, a lot of fun, the shoot was awesome much thanks to him and the others in the crew.
The hair/Makeup artist was the girl i did my very first shoot together with, a long time ago together with Marie back in some haggard appartment studio haha.
She did my makeup, i told her (Nowadays i tell the makeup artists "Please, not too much makeup" in a friendly and joking tone ofc ;) not to give to much makeup making me look like a mannequine. The hair girl, did her thing. . . as usual i hate what the hair people do, so i always end up fixing it after they've done their's. In this case, it was good, she did my hair, i fixed it, we did the first shoot, she fixed my hair again, the director took a look "hmmm. . . . i liked it more when you did your own hair". So i ended up completely doing my own hair, i told the girl who did the hair not to worry, my hair is freakin impossible haha
Anywho!
There were about 6 outfits, which will take up 2 complete pages of the march edition of Singapore FHM!
Most of the pants were REALLY tight, it was a bit of a Punk-Suave-Indie (Indie = Kinda geeky) shoot.
Nice variation, everything from G-star to wonderland clothes.
Some outfits were themed like cowboy, some like latino gangster, some like more sofisticated office worker and some were more punk. I had to pose in ways that emphasized the "Theme"
But the general theme of all the clothes were a more Punkish look.
However, later on the head of the director's came down and told the director directing me, that he shouldn't have made me do too many pissed-off-high-fashion looks. . . he said it was more for the magazine GQ, but he wasn't angry he said it was ok anyway.
Well all in all, the shoot went great and it was a lot of fun!
Ok on to the next topic!
Hmm the bridal veil. . . well that went exactly like the last time. .. it was just a repeat pretty much. . . got the drawed on mustasch and everyone was happy. . .. long day. . . .but sure it was fun hehe. Oh and i got a ride in another insane car hahaha. A black convertible, some successful previous customer of Bridal Veil got along well with me, so after the show he offered to drive me to my casting hehe. badaaaassed. (Btw, this wasn't some stranger, he was the guest model for the last show as well hehe)
It was sweet, michelle, the owner and designer of Bridal veil sent an sms to Kit (My booker) and told him to tell me thanks for another job well done. So that made my day hehe.
Alright, the underwear show! hahaha!
Well first thing first, i calculated that i got paid 900kr every minute for that job!. . . . how insane is that?
Ok, well it was a Tangs plaza. . . when i heard it would be at Tangs. . . and it was an underwear show. . . .and that i'd have to stand behinda giant window. . .. i freaked out a bit hahaha i was as nervous as i was before the very first show i did 3 months ago. . . i love it. . . . the new challenges and the new extreme anxiety before a show hahaha. It sure is an exciting job said the least :P
Well it was managed by Daniel Boey, and it was me, Chris, and 3 other guys.
We each got 4 outfits. . . or underwear. . . .
Well. . .. worst part of the show was the damn thongs we had to wear underneath the underwear XD holy shiiiiiet! The most shameful and awkward feeling ever wearing that thing. . . . we were all cringing and making fun of eachother out in the hallway while we waited hahahah was hilarious.
Anyway, it turns out the window would be facing orchard road. . . . HURRAH! the most populated road in singapore! WHOOOOO! midday! RUSH `HOUR WOW THIS HELPS THE ANXIETY!!!
My heart was racing ahhaa dödsångest!
These were the directions we were given. . . "You will be standing out there alone for about one minute, just keep changing poses and walk around and entertain the crowd. . . use the chairs, use the walls, use whatever you want to pose.. . . . " So basically. . .. we would be exposed to an entire street packed with people. . . . in only our underwear. . . . freestyling poses on a tiny stage behind a huuuuge window. . .. . whoopie. . . hahahah EXCITING ENOUGH I ASK?!
hahahaha well it was a really fun show believe it or not. . . We had the smallest backstage ever, we changed into various underwears, wore cheesy accessories such as dogtags and tennis sweat bands hahaha XD
The crowd amounted to quite a bit of people. . . i don't know how many people's personal camera's and camera phone's we are displayed on now. . . . It was fun though, laid back. . . some of us just walked around and smiled and just had fun, so it wasn't that bad hahaha and for a pay of 900kr per minute. . . SO bloody worth it.
I'm so piassed that i had the bridal veil show the day after, because otherwise i would've done TWO more of these shows and gotten to keep the underwear haha. Daniel was whining about it, buuut i've been booked for the bridal shwo for a long time bck now. . . . too bad hehe.
Ok on to the Thomas Pink Show. . .. worst morning ever.
EARLY EARLY EARLY, like before 6am. . . . . i got onto the mrt, rode it for about 6 stops (Maybe 30min). . . . when i bloody realize that i've forgotten my suitpants at home. . . .omg. . . . i had pulled it out and everything. . . guess it was too early for the brain to optimally function :P
Well. . what to do i said to myself? Se la vi!
I jumped out of the mrt, grabbed a cab, came home, the relatives had just woken up (Cathy hadn't even left for work yet!) I snag my pants, run back to the cab, rush to the designated destination.. . . . i end up paying 25 dollars for the cab. . . .that's like 100+ krs. . . .. cry. . . .
Worst of all. . . . i got there, reported, they tell me to come back in 4 hours. . . .. . hrm. . .. shiet. ..
Well basically, what i did during that time, was hang out with chris at mcdonalds for breakfast. . . and just kinda killed time hehe.
Me and Chris were to act as ushers. This is a pretty highclass brand, for the rich people i suppose, so me n chris wore pink shirts+tie+suitpants.
We stood by the doors of le chinoir for maybe 30 minutes fooling around having a great time, slapping on a serious expression when opening the door for and greeting the incomming guests. . .. then returning to fooling around. . . .. we got paid 350 for that XD
EASY money that time hahaha VERY easy money! can you say "GOODDAY! GOODMORNING! WELCOME!". . . . if you can't, i guess you're a bit retarded, but if you can, you've just done what i did to earn 350 dollars hahaha XD
Fun ofc :P
Ok, final stop;
The banan republic fitting.
This is another posh american brand, liek thomas pink but not only shirts.
I got to try on some BADASSED clothes i'm telling you. . .. clothes that would make mom cry.
Ex.
- Sailor sweater, shirt underneath, suitpants, tie
- Fancy white coat, white Stickad tröjja underneath, white shirt underneath, white suitpants (this looked SO good. . .. ´)
- Fancy blu raincoat, . . . .dun remember what was under, but suitpants anyway (This looked smashing as well :P)
and stuff liek this. Basically, things moms want their sons to walk around in, but only a select few do haha.
I also found out from one of the models "Wow, we're so few. . . . but for the casting i think all the models in singapore were there" heeellz yeeeeh. . . . i felt special that night XD
Today was the day i did the show. . . i'll tell you about it tomorrow because i just found out i scored a free testshoot tomorrow morning so i gotta go to bed!
Tell you about the Yuli show tomorrow as well!

Lotsa Love
