I met Micky last Saturday and I almost fell to the fucking floor.
He was 45 minutes late and strolled in with his beat up Ramones t-shirt and asked “can I smoke in here?” to the person whose loft it was — not even mine.
Wait backtrack, I got this 6,000 sq loft for some reason Saturday. Yeah. That. Amazing, like fucking amazing. I wrote here earlier saying I wanted to shoot models, and well I did. But I had no where to shoot them. I wrote on Facebook, “Anyone have a place for this Saturday I may use?” And this amazing dude Jonathan said “I have a 6,000 sq loft in Brooklyn, its yours if you want.”
Now yeah. I was initially creeped out. Naturally. I’m a girl. Then I read into it and he explained he really just wanted to help out and thought I had a good eye. So I’m like hmmm… okay! I mean, where else am I gonna shoot three dudes. So I show up last Saturday like on three hours sleep from that party where I shot Uffie and meet essentially, this stranger and shoot 3 models I never met.
Now, when I got this package sent to me, I noticed that Mikhael dude hard. I was like oh my god. He’s the one. So I optioned 2 others just because testing is tricky and had all three come. So homie is like, 45 minutes late and I’m like this bad ass isn’t going to come.
Luckily the amazinnnnnnnggg Steph Flor (thanks girl) came to do my grooming, otherwise I would have been struggling. It’s amazing what make up and nice hair do to a dude, complete fucking transformation.
So Micky, as he wants to be called, strolls in, 18 years old, been a model for like 8 days and makes fun of me the whole day. But he was amazing. I’m like, infatuated with him. Has that ever happened to you? Like, just like a muse? It used to be Cristina for me, when I was like a lesbian for a month. He’s so young, and like new, it’s crazy I don’t know. I hope to shoot him again. He’s from Request, they have dopppppe male models, ESPECIALLY THE ONE AND ONLY COLE MOHR (marry me) and just did this shoot with Kanye’s giiiiiirlllll, check the video out it’s pretty sweet/bizarre.
It went great, I mean I was really rusty but whatever, shot some film, well it was all film. Attached is a picture someone took of me in the loft, and camera phone pictures. I love documenttttinnnnnng.
I am writing tonight because tomorrow night I will be going to New York to take my flight to Tokyo Thursday morning. I’ll be in New York less then a day (booo) but in Shinjuku, Tokyo this weekend (yayyy) Yes weird, I’m going to Japan. It’s going to be a huge mind fuck. I can’t say what I’m doing there, I really want to though. It’s honestly not a big deal. It’s nothing real dope. Jesus I wish. I mean the trip is, but what I’m doing is not. It’s a slight graduation present from a friend slash/photo request. I can when I come back March 10th. I tried buying Xanax for my flight but no one came through. Fuck. I am going to bug the hell out. I leave Thursday from JFK at 11:30 and get to Narita Airport at like 3 in the godamn afternoon in the FUTURE. My friend does not arrive until a couple hours later. So I’ll be chillin in Japan sticking out like a sore fucking thumb. I’m stoked.
I of course can’t wait to photograph but I can’t wait to just be exposed to new shit. I’m like so ready. It’s weird, this is what I talked about on the blog a while ago, that I wanted to just go away like 3 days after graduation, but financially I couldn’t do Puerto Rico. Japan came out of no where, I literally found out like two and a half weeks ago. It’s going to be crazy to not have internet for a while or use my phone. That thing is sutured to my hand. It’ll be nice to disconnect though, I keep forgetting that’s what I wanted also.
I received good news today, thank God. The publicist for Uffie said everyone really liked the pictures (yea those 35mm last minute ones) and will be used as her press photos after all. Apparently Elle and Nylon (o hai) want to use one as well. So for now I can’t blast them on the internet. But I really want tooooooooo, mean look at herrrrr.
This is probably the last post for a while….
So I wanted to say thanks for all the comments, negative or positive on Sun & Wed, and although I keep to myself in school and don’t really ever interact with anyone on this blog, it’s been a nice four years with you, and wish everyone the best of luck, finish school and do what you want.
