40,000 feet up, kneecaps rested firmly in to central incisors, giddly clutching at a ‘British Airways Highlife’ Magazine, skating through pages, boiling point of mindless turdge, even at this altitude nearer to space than rock, somethings being pushed on you, Tamagotchi?, Titanium aviator dual time watch?, Tasmanian Taramasalata?. Bit rich coming from a homosapien that’s current...

THE CLOSET.
I wrote this short story for a magazine but they never got back to me.
‘And now, ladies and gentlemen, I want this room filled with your BLOOD, SWEAT AND CUM!!
‘LADIES, I want to see you sucking DICK!

APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR ALL THINGS EMBARRASSING...
This blog in itself, is a form of glorified reminiscence.
A visual retrospective wanking aide, my very own technological scrap book of anamnesis. You can’t go wrong with a good old reminisce.
The price we unknowingly pay for the ease of communication via social networking, is that, it’s never been easier than to bang at buttons on our computers and fritter away countless hours...

Being a great model isn’t about the ability to roll off verbatim the final chapter of a Milan Kundera novel or talking about strategies involving the hunt for large prime numbers ( you try working out two to the seven thousand six hundred and thirteenth power) or even the ability to...

PARIS: Rolling my drooling tongue back into my gob.
For the last week and a half, I’ve been traipsing around from one old higgledy-piggledy Parisian rue to the next, visiting the same castings I’ve visited bi-annunally since the start of my modeling career and whilst schlepping through rain, snow, sleet and dare I mention it even sun to the aforementioned things.
As a 19 year old I...

Who is this man??
Opening up my local paper whilst indulging my semi conscious form with Puffa Wheats and milk for breakfast last Thursday afternoon.
An article stood out and awoke me, an article quite like no other I had ever seen before in a usually dull and dreary weekly periodical.
Nestled in between the usual moral panic inducing scare stories of “Cow attacks four pensioners”,...

MY FACE- A VISUAL SUBSTITUTE FOR LAXATIVE?!.
Can I let you in on a little secret?
In my bedroom, under one of those old 3-CD tray, tape deck and radio combo players lay a pile of magazines which I’ve bought or acquired or stolen over the years. Somewhere inside each one, my mug graces a glossy, hallowed page or two.
In fact, that’s not all! I wake up nearly every morning to two life sized boards of my own form. These were used as...

MYSTIC MEG.
The late American TV news anchor man Peter Jennings was once quoted as saying “I don’t think a reporter should give advice or make predictions.” but after spending some time out reminiscing and with exactly four days to go until the start of Paris Fashion Week Castings, I’ve decided to give my own predictions for this season, sorry Peter.

skinnyrocks asked: DUDE U ROCK BIG TIME AND YOUR BLOG ROCKS AND U ARE A SICK AT EVERY THING U DOO U WAS THE ONE THT HAD THE LAST LAUGH OF MAKE ME A SUPER MODEL THEY SURE DID MAKE U A SUPER MODEL ROCK ON JONOO :))
thundastruck asked: your blogs are probably one of the most interesting blogs I follow, mainly because you actually write something - and I do realize that the word you were saying in Japanese meant 'penis' I guess I'm just illiterate. (you don't need to respond btw! as long as you read it, I think we're gold.)
RAGGED MAGAZINE INTERVIEW.
I was recently interviewed for the American publication Ragged Magazine which is the sister to music magazine Filter.
I was asked to name my top 5 tracks of all time, cue five hours of a constant frustration in my thoughts, it was terrible. What about “Last Night” by The Strokes, multiple tracks by Queen, “Time for Hero’s” by The Libertines what about…. As...
I'M BACK!!
Well actually tell a slight white lie, i’ve been back in London for a month now, so i’m going to have to change the title of the blog (In London) dosn’t really have the same ring to it does it? In June, i’ll be hopping on the Eurostar and going to Paris for the S/S 11 Fashion Week and casting season, really looking forward to it and I promise you I will be posting as much...
thundastruck asked: I laughed quite hard at the 'bogies' game story...that is all. haha.
JAPANESE BOGIES
Richard McCourt (Dick) and Dominic Wood (Dom) are two names that would most probably be unfamiliar to many a self-proclaimed fashionista. In fact, they have nothing to do at all with fashion unless you count Richard McCourt (Dick’s) penchant for wearing two differing brightly colored River Island polo shirts in one. Dick and Dom were a very talented U.K presenter double act who appeared on...

I'm an American 50's car mechanic playing Squash.
I’ve been lucky enough to shoot for some really great Japanese magazine’s during my stay in Tokyo.
Here’s a run-down of a just a few of them….
HUGE MAGAZINE:
The theme of the shoot was American 50’s car mechanics.
The other models they used were all from street castings to provide an authentic all-American car mechanic look- hence my pyjama and top hat clad...

HELP! A QUESTION FOR AN AGONY AUNT...
YOU KNOW YOU’RE A CUT LITTLE HEARTBREAKER Now by all means, I repeat, I do not want to turn Musings of a Model (In Tokyo), actually that title is a bit long, maybe I will abbreviate it to M.O.A.M(I.T)
So, as I was saying I do not want to turn M.O.A.M (I.T) (Im sorry but that acronym is ridiculous) into an agony aunt questions page, but Auntie. MOAM(it) readers my friend has a dilemma, which...
