The Fashion Spot

Michelle, our landlady, is a model with Ford too. She is older and is away a lot working in Germany. She has a cat named Luca that I adore. He can play fetch like a dog  and likes to sleep on my bed. I went into the agency today and sat in line to use the only computer that the models can use. There are models from all over the world signed with my agency, and most of them have been really nice. My mom talked to one of the agents today to see if I had booked any jobs but so far I haven’t.

I have been away from home a week today and it seems like a year…not to my mom, she loves it. I bet she would stay here if she could. My mom says I want so much, (horses, a ranch and a new pickup truck) and have been given the opportunity to achieve it, but I’m beginning to think that all the hype from my agents back home was just wishful thinking. She wants me to stay positive and not give up so soon so I’m putting on a good face outside for her.

We went on 6 castings today. My mom wanders around while I go on my castings, but you can bet she’s not far away. We talked to my agent from back home today, she ask how things were going. She told my mom that we needed to stick it out here till I turned 16 and then things would get better. That’s almost a month away!

The traffic here is crazy. You are taking your life in your own hands if you step into the crosswalk. Cars do not stop for the walk signs. It seems they always have the right of way. There are motorcycles zooming in and around traffic and up on the sidewalks. My mom says a lot of them must be couriers or messenger people. We stay lost most of the time. I miss castings because we can’t figure out which metro to take. We walk everywhere because it’s easier to find streets and addresses.

We went on 6 castings today. A lady from Marie France wants to use me for an article but has to call the agency to see if I am available. They are talking about sending me to Milan, a casting director wants to see me but my mom says we are staying here for now. If it was up to me, I would go home. This all seems like such a waste of time.
