18:15

Early start today, had to go for a casting for a campaign. Since I showed up early, the casting was 10:00 - 12:30, there was no wait to get in which is always nice.

On my way home I decided to go get some food for dinner. Standing in like at the super market (at around 11:40) I checked my phone for calls, and had a message. The message said "Prada" then a time. So dropped the food off at home, then headed for the casting.

The casting was for only 6 guys (Me, Denise (roommate), Anton, Maxime, Michael and Diego). When we arrived they led us into a room and left us there for 30min. Eventually someone came, told us to put a jacket on, and walk down the hall, then he took a couple pictures. Simple enough. The fact that they didn't look through a books was kinda odd (as anything big they would normally have done this). After another half hour wait, they came back and said that Maxime and Anton got the job, lame.

As we left we tried to figure out what the job was for, our best guess is for a fitting... meaning the designer was looking for there body shape for a new piece of clothing. Still thats about 90+ Euros an hour, for 4 hours work, not bad.


Another bit of insight into modeling life.

Rejection. It's a big part of modelling, and it gets hard not to take personally. When Anton and Maxime got the job, as Michael and I left Prada it we both kinda felt as if they had stolen the job from us, when in reality we weren't what they were looking for, and even had Anton and Maxime not been there, there is a huge chance neither of us would have gotten the job anyway. It seems a lot of people here hold getting jobs against you, as if you have stolen something from them. Then when you see someone who "stole" a job from you, everyone tends to be really happy for them, extremely two faced.
