Besides my black leather portfolio I always bring my portable USB memory stick with me when meeting with an agency. On this I keep my personal information such as body measurements, hair and eye color and contact information (phone number, mail etc.) It is also a good thing to inform if you have any piercings, tatoos or noticable scaring.
Besides from all of this I also keep some more pictures than the ones I present in the actuall portfolio. It is easy to change and to ad more, digitaly, if you are in a hurry.
Hope this was helpful to you!

Planning ahead
Just finished searching for all the depature and arival times for my trip tomorrow. Have to make quite a few transportation changes so I like to be a little ahead by writing everything down on my iPhone so that I can access it even without 3G or Wifi. I am sure it will go smoothly, as always.
Weekend
My weekend starts now even though it is only Thursday. Not attending school tomorrow because I am traveling to Paris to meet my boyfriend and have dinner with his parents. Do not know how often I am going to be able to update my blog but I will do my very best.
Next up, packing!

Body Combat
Tried a new form of work out today at the gym called BodyCombat. Was so exchausting and now I am going straight to bed to (hopefully) recover.
Printed out my planetickets for the weekend today as well, so now all I have left is the packing.

Think before you sign
Keep in mind that it is an absolute must to look through your modelling contract, and maybe have someone who knows more about it go through it as well, before you sign!
I know that when you get to the time and place were you are about to sign you are so thrilled and eager to get your new carreer started that you do not even care. Please take a moment and think before you sign. A good tip is to take the contract with you so that you can examine it in the comfort of your own home.
Not everyone will be trying to trick you but there is people out there who will, so be careful!

Meeting with Metropolitan
On monday I have at meeting with Metropolitan in Paris at four pm. Super excited!
Went out to purchase a black, very simple bathing suit that I will be wearing for the meeting. Under my clothes of course. Not going to show up in swim wear just like that.
A tip for all of you that might be going to a casting or even a job interview: Be yourself and relax. Take a deep breath and smile! When you are feeling comfortable with yourself it is going to easier for you to handel unexpected situations and you are going to send out a professional signal.
Good luck!

News from France
Just recieved an email from my uncle. He talked to the agency and they need a video of me in a black bathingsuit walking and turning around myself sent to them as soon as possible! Apparently they might be looking for a specific model for a specific commersial job. One can only hope that they find me suitable for the job.
Therefore, tomorrow after school, I will be going shopping for a black v-neck bathings suit. Have absolutely now idea where I am going to find it since all the stores are now selling autum clothes.
Will have to deal with that tomorrow. First I need to get some sleep.

Running out of time
Starting too feel the preasure more and more as days go by with no answer from my uncle in France. He is going trough a lot at the moment, personal things, so I offered to go to the meeting with Metropolitan in Paris by myself at the end of this week. If I do not hear anything from him tomorrow then I will have to book the plane tickets either way because I am spending the weekend in Paris with my dear boyfriend. I just have to trust that everything is going to work out fine.
At least I have a romantic weekend in the city of love to look forward to!

Elite
Earlier today I was emailing with Trice Tomsen and she wanted me to send her some very natural pictures without makeup. Sent her one from the side and one from the front with my hair back and now I am just waiting, with my fingers crossed, for an answer.
Motivation
Successful people fail more than unsuccessful people.
That is why they are a success. They keep on keeping on.

Contact is key
Yesterday I had a long talk with my uncle who is a lawyer, because I need someone to look through the contract I will be getting from Metropolitan next week. It ended with me getting the phone number of one of his friends who I then called and had a chat with. Got a new number from him and in the end I was talking to Trice Tomsen herself! In case you do not know who that is, I can tell you that she was one of the people who started Elite. Elite is a very successful agency and it has departments all over the world. She offered to look at some of my pictures to see if there is place for me in Elite Copenhagen.
What I am trying to tell you all is, do not be scared to call. I used to be completely terrified by picking up the phone and making a call. It is always a great thing to seek advice from people more experienced than you and you will be amazed with how willing they are to help and guide you.
Even the most successful person was ones young and inexperienced.

Hey what's up? Welcome to Hollister.
Just called Hollister on Regent street, were I have been working all summer as a model, to resign. The rules are that you have to work at least five hours a month and since I'm not living in London at the moment that is quite hard to accomplish. I have also been offered a model possision in Abercrombie and Fitch, both in London and Copenhagen but since I really want to give this hole Paris adventure a go I'm going to wait for a bit before I sign up with the company again.
Work it baby
Today is the day after a massive workout.
Went to the gym yesterday with my mother and participated in two classes and the stayed a little longer, just for the heck of it!
Felt amazing once it was over and I feel like I have something to work towards as I recently found out I'm going to Paris next week to meet with Metropolitan.
Super excited, so for the next couple of days I'm sticking to healthy foods and lots of exercise!
