In Russia, Megafon phones you


 
Sunday as I mentioned was great day as I found out that I had booked the job. Getting that first job out of the way with is nice, kind of a breaking the bubble moment for me. 

The fitting was scheduled for Monday. These people sure work fast, the shoot was Tuesday. I found this fitting kind of funny, as it really wasn’t to see how the clothes fit as much as to see how the clothes looked together. My shot for this ad, involved me and 3 other business professionals.  Myself being the yuppie hotshot, show dresses a little trendier and my counterparts being in their early to mid 30’s. The shirt they provided for me was too large, and had a very thick collar (not exactly trendy, but roll with it. My well-fitted navy suit would hide the size factor of the shirt.  Did I mention the suit would be outside?

The remainder of Monday was laid back. I went to the gym for a few hours and hit up the food court in Seacon Square mall. A chest/shoulder workout was on the menu for the day:

Set 1,2,3
Decline DB Press
Set 4,5,6,7
Seated Arnold Press
-       Pushups to fail
Set 8,9,10
Bent Over Cable Punch
Set 11,12,13
Front Plate Raise
-       Pushups to fail
-       Double Crunch 15
Set 14,15,16
Smith Machine Pressed Leg Raise
-       Inverted Pull-ups w/ L-sit

Yesterday ended up being a very long day for me. Almost 12 hours from the time I left until the time I came home.  I had the shoot, which started out waiting for hair and makeup with a gay gentleman and a lady boy, which I have no problems with until they hit on you the entire time. Awkward to say the least. 


It was a scorcher of a day yesterday, easily encroaching on 40, if not hotter, and to top it off the humidity was insane. But welcome to Thailand that’s pretty much every day. We shot eating sandwiches and running from one meeting to another while going through the park. How strange is it so have to bite into a subway sub for me. I have not had real bread in my mouth in years. I immediately spat out the bread once it touched my lips. Thank god I wasn’t in Singapore for that, would have got a fine.  

Upon wrapping up my driver was waiting for me to take me to the next casting. This one was for Zalora.th an online clothing catalogue. Everyone there was very pleasant and fun. The casting was short, sweet and efficient.

Following this casting I had what I thought was a casting but was actually a fitting. Curated fashion is a designer in Bangkok here and there will be a show Sunday for it. I am fortunate enough to have been booked for this as well. The downside is that we got lost on our way to the fitting during rush hour BKK traffic, what a nightmare. 

Sorry Guys no pics today.
