Blue Makeup by Red Earth

2009-11-06T13:54:38+01:00

I got the Red Earth Show together with Victoria and because it's makeup we had both some really crazy eyes and nails. I feel like a smurf. . . La la lala la la. . .

After the show presentation Victoria and I had to go to take pictures of our makeup. Victoria looks like a fairy tale girl. She says they always make her a barbie.

Big Eyes, Little Face

2009-11-06T13:50:53+01:00

Today the look is big eyes and little face. Eyelashes are big in China. No idea how they do it but my eyes look like they are buggin out of my head.

Camera Guy with a Big Lense

2009-11-06T13:50:27+01:00

This camera guy is really at it today. He's sticking his camera in my face every five min. Big lense. So close. What's he taking a photo of? My retina? I don't understand optics but so long lense how can he be so close?

Armani Show Dalian Report by Ricky my Roomate

2009-11-05T15:17:29+01:00

My roommate Ricky got booked for the Armani Show in Dalian, China. Dalian is fast becoming a hot spot for luxury and fashion--no wonder when we see that it's a port down, it's architecture is modern and new, and it's got a large growing Fashion Expo where brands are fast flocking internationally to show their brands to buyers. With a topography catering to youth--a huge skate park for roller blading, biking, and skateboarding--and monuments reflecting the local ethnic taste, Dalian is really aiming to become a fashion hotspot in the ocean of China.

Dr. Raby, Ambassador of Australia came to the show to see me present. I'm very honored. 360Fashion Network has a growing membership of Australians and next year is the celebration of Australia in China so perfect timing to show off their talented fashion professionals!

Anina Backstage MC for DGVI Show

2009-11-04T22:59:21+01:00

I'm the MC for the DGVI fashion show. I never did the MC before so I'm practicing my speech over and over (it's long with a toast) so I can say the whole thing without looking a my paper. I have to say a toast too to all the officials and all my friends from the Embassies are coming so it better be good. I've got my special lucky bracelet for good luck. This show is super sexy look so I've got puffy hair and sexy eyes. People are really stress backstage and yelling hurry up we are late. It's normal. I'm glad both victoria and jessica are here backstage!

Backstage at DGVI Show

2009-11-04T22:46:40+01:00

I'm so busy I can not even think straight. I'm just moving from here to there, fitting, rehearsal, photoshoot, magazine interview, and home so late and then up again 5.30 am for fashion show. No chance to do anything but this, and only chinese food to eat but at the lunch they take me to another appointment. Jessica is backstage with me and we had to sit through a whole drama of how the foreign stylist did not like the makeup from the make up artists. So we had to have the makeup redone. Crazy. This show is for sure one of the best from fashion week because they use foreign talent for style it up, the bring in some foreign models from Canada, and use a foreign director. Rock On!

The Hottest Chinese Male Models

2009-11-04T16:05:02+01:00

Big casting in the agency the other day with all the hottest male models in Beijing. It's fun to see what the Chinese think is beautiful. So many tall guys from China. Funny how the world perception is that Chinese are short. In the north, everyone is tall and all the models are tall male and female. It's a misconception that this photo proves incorrect. There are a lot of tall people in China.

Models Need Heat

2009-11-04T16:01:45+01:00

The other day we went to a casting for bathing suits and in the studio they only had one gas heater. Noone wanted to get that shooting. As we crowded around the heater freezing, we all prayed not to get picked. Are they serious about only one heater for the whole studio? Models need heat to generate feelings and be limber to pose. You can not very well act while you are thinking, 'i'm so cold'. Escaped that one!

Tough Competition For Chinese Models in China Fashion Week

2009-11-04T15:58:49+01:00

There are so many Chinese, it's only natural that there be a large selection. For Chinese models trying out for the China Fashion Week, it must be so stressful. I think that it must be very hard to stand there in black looking generic, while being chosen. We did notice that Chinese models tend to walk very basic, where foreign models walk more strong. The models wearing black made it easier to see the differences in their faces and bodies. I know it's hard for foreigners to tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I wonder if it makes a difference to casting directors who are Chinese.

How Models Help Each Other

Our friend was having a hard day because she was missing out on shows, so we tried our best to cheer her up and make her laugh!

Making the Most of Fashion Week

2009-11-02T17:34:03+01:00

My roommate and I just get home when the agency call and we have to speed out for another casting. Noodles in hand and armed with chapstick, he's ready for anything kamakazi the Chinese may throw at us out of the blue. We did have a laugh at the Men's Nivea lip balm that is shaped like a lipstick. 'Very wierd.' he says, 'I guess their customers are more feminine than man!' He then pretends to put it on as a girl.
