Ew, I haven't felt writey in several days. Been grinding (you know what I keep in the lining). Models who say, "It's just a job"? Yeah, some weeks, it is. I get to the salt mines in the morning, regard the number of outfits I will have to wear that day, then become a transparent eyeball as I endure hair/makeup and wait for time to pass until the job is over. Still taking great pleasure in sullying sample designer clothes though:

I got horseshit on the Ferragamo.


And this shit:


On the Louis Vuitton.


Whoops! Guess those garments won't be on the rack at the next sample sale.

Notice those hands holding up the light fixture that would ordinarily be sitting on the ground? That photographer had a new (to me) technique whereby his two minions would hold up the lights and run around pointing them at my ever-motile ladypose instead of me having to aim my ladypose at a stationary lighting apparatus. Ah, freedom! I could turn right or left as I wished! Chin up or down according to my capricious pleasure! Two hapless photo assistants doing all the work as I simply turned my fat head hither and thither. Luxury.

[Beloved manager Sin obediently dug my camera out of my handbag and took both of the above pictures of me on set. Thank you, Sin.]

Ugh, my roommate The Canuck, who had been sitting with me at the kitchen table, typing away, has just sloped off to bed with her eyelashes still crusted with white mascara. Now my L'Oreal Ellnett-lacquered hair and I are slumped over alone, feeling guilty that we're not in bed ourselves. Tired! I'll leave you with a tidbit from my visa run to Japan earlier this week.

Even the short and sweet updates are still fun.

That sign cracks me up. You just know somebody did that to necessitate a sign!

Rocky road

Carry a handbag down the road that you must travel. Those rocks must have given your delicate footsies the mother of all pumicing jobs, second only to the Leg Maintenance Marathon. I hope the photographer didn't request jumping pictures. And leaving the Ferragamo aside, I hesitate to imagine what those vulnerable tootsies must have looked like after a day of walking around in horse pies in sandals.

It's a good thing that sign is there, or else Japanese might not be aware of the proper way to drop a baby. That sloppy swan dive couldn't have scored more than a 3.0 from the judges. I'm still waiting for the next generation of toilet technology, featuring a scent dispenser to "muffle toilet aroma." Judging from this anecdote, I think your next youtube clip just wrote itself.

I don't know why you don't use what you keep in the lining to put The Canuck's aesthetic horrors to rest. No jury in the world would convict you for that.

howard hughes liked the blood that ended up on his homemade pin!

reminds us when we got blood all over our heroin chic grey hoodie and then the doctors at the e.r. hastily cut it off and threw it in a blood soaked bag for us to look at it later, though it was unwearable due to the fact it had the arms basically cut off it, we couldn't protest these procedures due to the fact we were unconscious and they thought we might have a broken neck or broken face, though the 'howard hughes' pin we were wearing was salvageable but stained with blood as well, unfortunately there was no brain damage, or was there???. the nurses said i had the foulest mouth of anyone that had ever seen and the e.r. was in a bad part of town, a true compliment. well that's what you get for you and the driver drink too much 'pink elephant' beer and then they decide to drive 100 mph on west 100th street. all in all a good day only scars and slightly broken teeth.

The Japanese sign isn't that bad! They're just trying to keep you from killing your baby :(

Best part about Japan is the heated toilet seats. You have no idea how good those are until you try them in person. But do NOT mess with the "bidet" function, especially if you can't read the language... I'll just leave it at that.

Oh Japan, how I miss thee and thine poor English. Although, that sign is not half bad at all, it gets the point across with little confusion.

Beautiful pictures, by the way. :) I am in love with your shirt in the Ferragamo picture.

I just saw your Sony Cybershot commercial and it's pretty damn cool. Did the big wigs at Sony see your photos and want you to represent them, and do they care at all that you're usually a canon user?*

"This is who I am, and this is my cybershot that I never use because my canon is better".

*although I did notice the distinctive pink camera in one of your mirrorshots a while back.

And the Japanese do think of everything, I'm glad at least one country has provisions for the shy-boweled.
