Tianjin - Hair with a View

Getting your hair done on the street is hot, sticky, but has a view you can not beat! I feel like i'm in London or Paris if i close my eyes a little and dream! Tianjin is beautiful.

Waiting while Michelle is Shooting

When you work in two's then you know that one of you will have to wait. While michelle was getting her hair done, i speeded ahead by getting some extra outfits done. Now i'm resting while she's rushing ahead. Chilling out, the makeup artist snapped this photo of me with his Eseries.

Tianjin - The Intricacies of Shooting on the Street

Let me tell you, if you want to be a top model, you better have no shy nature. Clients and photographers will just plunk you down on the street and do whatever they want. Makeup and hair will sit you down anywhere to touch you up. Have no fear, you're in a group with lots of strong guys to hold back the crowds should they appear.

Tianjin - Thigh High Boots Always Make You Sexy

We can not explain it but thigh high boots make you look and feel sexy. Michelle is really looking hot in those boots. We had to take a picture.

French Style in Tianjin

I love my hair and makeup on this job. I still don't like this crazy color i have. It's painful maroon. Thank goodness that the client does not mind!

Anina.net Meets Michel Jackson in Beijing, China

The ghost of MJ was on my shoot for White Collar...stay tuned to the catalog to see how it turned out. I didnt shoot with him but I got to shake his hand and see all his shining belts! Photo shoots in China can be very extravagant like in Turkey, because the cost of labor is lower than the rest of the places in the west. Rock on with the spirit of MJ. I never really believed all the things they said he did in the press. My friend got to shoot him and he said he was really like a kid at heart. I think he really contributed a lot to this world and for generations as long as music will exist, he will be there with us in song. I was invited to his house in California, as once per year the workers can invite one guest. I was very honored and it was indeed the amazing never never land they speak of. It was a crazy shocking experience to go into the full movie theater, not pay, and could take whatever I wanted from the candy counter for free. The sculptures in the gardens of the characters from peter pan were beautifully made in bronze. The locomotive train that you could ride around the ranch and see the scenery. I wonder who's enjoying it now.

Looking into the depths of my finger. . .

Saying Goodbye to Anna G

Here we are again, saying good by to an awesome model, Anna G. Her time in China was a great learning experience on what is professional. Anna G never complained, was always generous, and forever forgiving. Loved by all models, we are excited to watch her adventures in Milan and Paris after her short holiday in her home country, Poland.

Anna G always stylish. "Simplicity is my style" is her motto and for sure she's looking awesome on her way to the airport. Black Chinese silk scarf, long sweater for the cold flight, black tight jeans, african bangles (one giraffe bracelet given to her by the client), and short chic boots a'la Viviane Westwood.

Wishing you the BEST ANNA!!!

Travel Like a Supermodel

EMAILED TO ME BY A FRIEND...NO IDEA WHERE HE GOT IT:

Travel Like a SupermodelBy HILARY
HOWARDBonny
Makarewicz for the New York Times and Beatrice De Gea for The New York
Times.Coco Rocha (right) recommends Stanley Park (left), in Vancouver.

One thing you can say about supermodels is that they travel a lot. So it
would make sense that they’d be full of tips on hot restaurants, cool shops
and chic bars all over the world.

That’s the idea, anyway, behind Modelinia.com , a
lifestyle Web site dedicated to “all things supermodel” that launched a new
feature called Supermodels Secret
Destinations.
Yes, now you can hit the same spots as jet-setting models.

For example, Veronica
Webb
shares
her favorite places in Paris, which includes the bistro Ma Bourgogne. “It’s
a real bistro with great steaks and even better ice cream,” she says.

And Coco Rocha,
one of the faces for Yves Saint Laurent, divulges where she likes to jog
when visiting her hometown of Vancouver. Stanley Park, she says, is “a great
peaceful run I like to do.” She also likes the Richmond Night Market for its
dose of local culture.
Other Secret Destinations include Eugenia Silva on Madrid’s flea markets,
Selita Ebanks on the pristine Cayman Islands, and Taylor Warren on
Manhattan’s Lower East Side. “It’s still just a really cute area that’s got
a lot of character,” Ms. Warren says.

Anina.net - Green Girl Dissappears

I remember when i made this fashion video by Disciple Films. They rocked and
we worked hard. I think it was revolutionary for it's time!
