slides gave me an ultimatum

01/29/2006

if you have been wondering why i have not been posting a lot since coming back from germany, it's because my agency gave me an ultimatum: either quit doing the technology stuff, or leave the agency. they say that fashion and technology do not go together.

they say,that i can not do both things and that i must choose to either be a model, or do the tech stuff. they say i will not find an agency in paris who will accept for me to do the both. and so i have been thinking deeply about what i am to be doing.

modeling makes me money, tech does not. i love tech, why should i have to give it up.

my two male model friends, koos and nathan show up on my doorstep as i am not feeling well, and i ask them what they think. you can hear their interview.

can models do more than one thing?

FASHION IS OPENING

01/27/2006

I wonder when the world of couture will open up and start putting recorded conversations in their clothing linkes. soundbytes by karl lagerfeld, fashion tips by diane pernet...would be so cool
Computational couture | CNET News.com

"Sonic Fabric," a textile woven from 50 percent recycled, recorded audiocassette tape and 50 percent cotton. The material retains its magnetism, and pieces made from it can be "listened to" by dragging an apparatus made from a tape head along its surface. "Seamless" is part of the "When Science Meets Art" series at the museum.

hehehe...i got nominated by mr. burda! so at least i went for tripple the price.  ;D
loic le meur interviews yossi vardi about it!

so the story goes like this, first DAN (bravo dan!) jumped in the water for 1000 euro for charity. then mr burda pointed at me and said, "ANINA!". why not? it's for charity! but i dont come cheap! so i said, "3000 dollars!" and they said, "3000 dollars, going once, going twice"
no one raised their hands even after they said it could be shared! so mr burda and mr vardi agreed to split it between them, and so i did the dive into the pool.

so dan and i were the hero's of the evening but the real hero's were mr burda and mr vardi and the man who donated for Dan. the reason for that i was so motivated to jump into the pool was because of the conversation i had at dinner with the man who owns the most exclusive women's shoe shop in munich, who donates the sallary to the organization to employ someone to manage the project with the children. he was telling me at dinner how he didnt even have the right windows xp version for the 3 computers that he had. so i said that i had last year's version of windows xp that i could send him. i even said that if i knew where to send my old computers, i would send them to him. instead i left my computer laptop to the salvation army in new york to sell. i was saying that it doesnt take just money to donate to the program but people could donate old equipment, old xp or outlook 2002 cd's etc.

many thanks to HBM Marcom's for catching the moment and many thanks to www.ringfahndung.de for pointing it out to me! great JUMP PHOTO!
