Chapter 10: When I was just a mere teenager back in high school, I always dream of becoming either:-
1) A commercial Air Pilot
2) A Celebrity VJ
3) A Teen Model
But none of it came true hence I’ve gotten myself recruited in Clan Black Harrier under the leadership of the quote Asian PR unquote version of Kimore Lee Simmons: codename The Black Harrier. Surprisingly, there was this very petite looking editor from a local publication – one of my favorites; that runs a teenage magazine who has requested me to be one of the models in their fashion spread.
How ironic it was when my age has passed the target readers five years the gap. Nevertheless, I have to admit that my look contradicts my age and many mistaken me to be seated behind the desk filled with piles of books and assignments instead of press releases and contracts.
Knowing that I am not much of a snobbish spin doctor – a no–no contra when one works in Spinville, I chose to go ahead and compensate what I left from my childhood, BUT in one condition.
Principle: Thou shall use thee as one of thy models if thou agreed upon the matter of having clients of thee to loan the apparels and credits will be mentioned in return.
Agreed.
The shoot took almost half a day as there were 5 sets of clothes to model with each set encircling 20 shots and my partner character – which took an additional 20 – 30 minutes of hair and makeup redo after the completion of each set which almost got me into a comatose state of mind. Total time taken for the entire shoot: Five fucking hours.
The best thing was the editors and photographer actually complemented me for posing it the right way where else my partner was a little rigid. (I thought the skills from my cam whoring days were gone to limbo...) Regardless of the hours sacrificed in the studio, the editor said that it was great thus to wait for the coming issue that they’re currently working on.
Well, I couldn’t wait to have a look at how awful my poses will be in print..
At least, it was fun.
