my modeling days….
December.9,2009
I just finished watching the full series and the girl I liked won!!… I like to watch Tira Bank series of the America Next Top Model. (tks to my friend JP Bouquet!).
Actually, I used to represent Tara in Asia while working with IMG Models, (I was the Director for the region) and she is a great woman. The first time I met her was in the backstage of the Victoria Secret fashion show inside the Plaza Hotel. So many people working backstage, so many top models in underwears or in robes. I remember it was Tira’s birthday and we eat a huge birthday cake with an angel on it.
Also Naomi Campbell was there but not modeling on that day, she was just there chatting with other models and laughing very loud all the time, after the show was over. Interesting to see these 2 black-model-icons navigating within the same room.
At the end I jumped in a taxi with Bridget Hall and we went to have diner with Rebecca Romjin, both mega famous models at that time, actually huge. I remember I forgot to tip the taxi driver and he was screaming at me, and Bridget was dead laughing because i could not understand what he was telling me in his strong Indi accent… I have such good memories of my time working in the modeling industry and New York…. One day I will share my photos albums with you…
