i haven't blogged in ages cuz im way too busy.
and i have absolutely zero inspiration for any entries.
flipped through urban today
the last page is usually about items found in a celebrity's bag.
and so
i shall do a feature of my bag
-the one i carry around for modelling-
and obviously it's supposed to be a checklist for me
since i'm such a goon
and i usually forget to bring something along.
so here goes.
bag: gucci/adidas
both are presents from my dad actually.
to cheer me up about the whole breakup.
it's practical enough.
although i wouldn't say i love the look
i like it enough.
item 1. ipod-15GB
it's a present from a friend of mine
and it has my name engraved on the back.
so it's like, personalised.
im not really a fan of music-on-the-go
but i find it really useful when there are times you want to shut out
the noise
chatter on the set
and it helps that i can download
homework
and tunes for my next runway show
so i can actually practise my catwalk
when im free.
so im starting to love my ipod.
item 2. canon digital camera
my dad recently bought it for me as well
to cheer me up!
since the other camera's an SLR
so it's really too huge to bring around
i use this for modelling.
it's great for taking shots with friends
people you meet
and i use it to take shots of myself
before shoots
to check on the makeup.
makeup in real life
and on the set
looks very different.
im gonna try to take multi shots with my colleagues the next time round.
try to tell a story within 12 shots
and put it on friendster!
haha.
we'll see about that.
item 3. M.A.C strobe cream
it's this moisturiser from M.A.C
that kylie minogue uses.
it doesn't really have much of a fragrance
but it leaves this shimmer and sheen on the skin
so it looks really good in pictures.
and you can never go wrong with moisturising.
item 4. la source hand cream from crabtree & evelyn
hands need moisture.
and my hands seem to be getting very dry
no thanks to strong air conditioning
and bright lights
so i swear by this moisturiser as well.
it's pretty darned good.
item 5. baby oil
now this is a modelling trick i use
to make my legs look shiny onstage.
and shiny in a good way.
but it may dirty the clothes you're wearing.
so be careful.
item 6. mints
i must have some form of mint candy in my bag.
because i hardly eat throughout the day
mint candies are my source of energy throughout.
just little bouts of sugar rushes.
nothing too high-calorie.
item 7. heels
heels are a must for the runway.
one pair in black, white and silver each.
models below 1.7 m are requested to wear 5" heels at least
but mine are about 3.5"
since i meet the requirements.
and no i do not like heels.
i have a hard time balancing in them actually.
but practice makes perfect.
and if a MAN can wear heels and slink around gracefully
i do not see why women can't.
and f.y.i
this doesn't mean that the man is gay.
he just happens to be my catwalk instructor.
and he's perfectly straight.
item 7. lingerie
preferably white or nude.
we need a whole array to suit different outfits.
and yes
some models go commando.
i try my best not to.
i like the feeling of wearing something underneath.
item 8. book
to keep you occupied in between waiting times.
models are keeping up not only in terms of looks
but brains as well.
so yes.
the title of the book you are reading
says a lot about you.
so literature is always strongly advised.
photographers love pretty faces
and pretty brains as well now.
as for me.
i've taken to reading jane eyre for the 5th time
i love jane eyre.
or else i'll get studying done.
like reading my notes.
but it doesn't really work
cuz i end up checking out the hot male models.
i admit to it.
im into voyeurism.
but only from afar.
item 9. black hair spray
i need this to cover up my green fringe.
it usually leaves my forehead black.
but i wash it off with water immediately.
item 10. SKII skin refining treatment
i swear by SKII.
it's a great moisturiser for the face.
and it keeps breakouts at bay
and shine as well.
it keeps makeup in place
and i use it as a base for makeup at shoots.
oh and the facial mask is great as well.
i don't know if pitera really works.
but it seems to work for me.
item 11.handphone-motorola razr V3,nokia 3650,OKWAP hello kitty.
haha yes i have 3 handphones.
the razr V3's a present from my dad
to cheer me up over the breakup.
-yes i know, again another present.-
it's slim and sleek and it looks great.
but i don't really use it
i can't get used to it at all.
my nokia 3650's really really old and battered.
but i love it very much
and although a lotta old memories stored in it have been erased completely
it's still this part of me.
so i don't think i can ever get rid of it.
my hello kitty phone's really really cute.
my aunt got it from me from taiwan
my mom gave it to me as a present
-albeit grudgingly-
but unfortunately
it's not working well
so it's currently undergoing repair in taiwan.
item 12. makeup and mirror
i have a professional set of makeup and brushes
just for modelling.
so i lug it around and do my makeup at times.
it's obvious what i need a mirror for.
item 13. carmex lip balm
my uncle just came down from New York and he brought this along for me.
i wear this to keep my lips moisturised.
i wear this under lipstick
so i don't get that icky feeling of lipstick
and it's much easier to clean off.
it's not shiny like my body shop ones
so it's much better for modelling use.
item 14. clothes
i bring clothes along to change.
jacket,tank tops, spaghetti tops and jeans.
simple is the key to looking good.
item 15. gifts from friends
i keep some stuff that people give me and bring it along
as a reminder of what good friends i have
-cheryl,libby,candice,thomas...and all of you out there-
and to keep me going when i feel like i'll crumble.
i keep getting gifts
from friends
to show that they care
and i try to respond by keeping them somewhere special
although a simple sms is good enough for me.
i love you guys!
hmm now i think i see why my bag's always so heavy.
but these are just the bare essentials.
anyway.
i'll leave you guys with a song
that i think my girlfriends would die to sing for me.
-hur hur-
so i've delegated roles to them.
1..
