So... LOL.
The meeting with John Tan went really well. He is really humble and really nice. It was so unexpected that I wrote my feelings about the meeting in the train back to work.
It's so cool how someone that humble and nice and HUMAN can be one very important person in the fashion industry.
I may have told him a lot of things about myself and just didn't stop talking. I left the place feeling like I kinda wanted to be his friend. Which is weird, I guess. But cool.
Nice surprise, finding someone big in the industry that humble and cool, who is interested in people as persons and not as meat objects.
I hope he liked me. I liked him a lot.
Then I went to work and smiled and greeted 197 covers. It was a good night for tips.
Tomorrow I have other 4 appointments. One of them is for a really big magazine that *hint hint* has the word "teen" somewhere in it's name.
I'm also going to photographer agencies and other places I'm not sure what they are.
Send good energies.
And coffee ;)

That sounds great, Im happy for you that it went so well.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean with influential ppl in fashion actually being nice, everytime I meet with someone new and 'powerful' I instinctly expect them to be monsters for no reason :D
Which agency are you signed with in NY ?
xx
Hi Palony so good to have you.
ReplyDeleteWell, yes. I mean, I have this image of models and people in fashion to be cold superior beings, and honestly had always thought that if I ever wanted to be a good interesting model I would have to put on a cold and superior character like that (when, truth be told, I'm nothing like that). But I'm meeting such human cool people that are changing many preconceptions. I still believe I have to work on my confidence and projection, and we'll see how it goes.
About the agency, I havent signed with anyone. I will give details when I finally sign, because right now there's a lot of major drama going on with my mother agency in my country.
Cheers!
Oh thats exactly whats happening with me as well, I live in Germany and my mother agency is in Amercia... soo complicated ugh.
ReplyDeleteYou know, sometimes I think these people that come over as being that cold are just using it as a mask to actually hide their own insecurity. So while 'we' are doubting ourselfes in terms of whether were good enough for casting director A or photographer B they probably do the same as well.
Thats what I always try to bear in mind when going to castings etc.
Oh and by the way I think you have a really, really good look (Im not saying that youre like a pretty guy cause you obviously are, otherwise you - and me as well - wouldnt model) but theres smth different about you and the way you look at the camera!
(did that sound weird? i didnt mean to flatter you or anything, its just that I know that sometimes, 'objective' compliments can be quite encouraging :)
I appreciate your comments so much. Don't worry they are not freaky at all. They made me happy.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I know everyone deals with the same insecurities and problems and everything but it is easy to forget that and think that you are the only one thinking that... it happens to me a lot, it's idiotic, but yeah. I will try to put myself out there as much as I can. There's almost nothing to loose so I better risk everything!
Let's keep fighting for what we want!!!!
Cheers
