Cheese In French Is Fromage- Part Trois.

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 started my career as a model in Paris, I’ve met love and lost and met love, gained life long friends and temporary enemies.

 If i’m not marveling at the sheer pomp and circumstance of the Haussmann architecture or rolling my drooling tongue back into my gob over the sight of the seemingly boundless amount of Parisian beauties that decorate the cafes by smoking cigarettes film noir stylee that they do so well (im quite sure the French tourist board employ them) I’m always trying to capture the whizz bang wonder world of fashion week with my camera, the lifespan of a “career” as a male model is too short not too.

 I stay here for two months a year and I still can’t get past my “petit pour parler francais” vocabulary of a three year old stage, maybe I should just stick to pressing a button on a camera…

A Close Shave

Belgian model Thomas Hoefnagels and Welsh lad Matt Hitt get to grips with the fine art of shaving, can you tell by the pictures who had more success.

Comparing portfolio sizes with Will Eustace & hugging a dust fairy (apparently, it’s slang for make up artist).

Mine is still bigger Will.E

Still more to come….
