I havn't posted in ages again, I've been really busy and sick :(

In a day I'm finally going to Milan, for a month. I'm not looking forward to it actually, I don't know why either.. but Milan just doesn't appeal to me.
I hope I get some work there and a little money, I could use that (and it takes 3 months to finally receive that money!!!! aaarghhhh) I'm rather broke and I want to buy a lolita blouse I've been eyeing, before it sells out!!

When I get back I'll have a couple weeks of staying at home and then I'm off to New York for a month, luckily with my boyfriend.. because I landed a contract with Next NY :3

Aaaarg and I was so close to getting a 10 page spread for the Dutch Cosmo and a 8 page spread for the Dutch Link! But on the other hand, I don't want to work 2 days before I have to leave x_____x

Nnnnggg a month without internet acces and boyfriend acces, luckily I bought FF 6 and the Settlers for my DS so I'll survive for 2 weeks or so :P

Well, not really super busy.
I had a shoot yesterday (4 sets in like an hour, it was sooooooo incredibly fast! But I still only got home at 8:30 PM, because I missed a train T___T moms fault XDDD) and I'll have a shoot tomorrow!
I hope I'll get another paid shoot soon! I might have a job on may 19th till 21st in Belgium, but that isn't sure yet.

Oh and one thing: flu + shoot = bad idea. Sad thing you can't go on a sick leave T___T

I should update more often, but as I only have one shoot a week... I wouldn't be able to update often anyway XD
And I'm plain lazy >___>

So, Ive had my 5th shoot on Monday, for the Avant Garde, I might get the cover, aah! I'm so exited, I hope I get it :)
I'll get 2 pages in the magazine anyway so thats huge already! Plus my pay is a little higher than normally as it was a partial commerical for l'oreal.. not bad huh? ;D

My 4th shoot was topless, I finally recieved the pictures! Theyre soooo pretty, Im in love! They'll get published in a hairdressers magazine, but might be sold to a regular one :)

My 3rd shoot was ok, I had much fun, but it was super cold and the clothes.. were weird XD but it was really col, really!
I didn't like the pictures in particular, but they weren't bad either!

I have another shoot on the 27th of this month, and then I'm going to Milan for 2-3 weeks, to my agency there.. I hope it's nice weather!


I hope I see a little money of it very soon, I'm really addicted to Lolita fashion and I can't wait longer to get my greedy little hands on the overpriced skirts and stuff =D
Luckily I did some shopping therapy with my best friend today n___n I got a skirt, 3 tanktops (to wear to go-sees and shoots), 1 tee, 1 dress (if it's hot in Milan Im gonna wear it :) ), a muffler (palestina muffler, but in blue) and shoes! Omg shoes XD

I love them, but I dont fit in my skinny jeans anymore, theyre too big! Wich is weird as I didn't lose weight D=

Ah, the second shoot has been a couple days ago already, I'm just way too lazy!

The pictures will be very awesome, I'm pretty sure about that! I saw a couple on the laptop of the photographer and I almost didn't reckognise myself! I can't wait to receive them (or the phonecall of my booker.. I predict it will be something like "OH MY GOD, those pictures are like.. sooooo awesome! BE-AU-TI-FUL!"  imagine saying him in a very gay voice, yeah.. he's awesome!)

I had to get up at 5 am, to arrive 5 hours later somewhere near The Hague.
It didn't take me too long to find the place where the shoot was, wich surprised me really, as I always get lost one way or another.
The photographer and the make-up artist were both really nice women, and really pretty! I thought they were both models, but it turned out the photographer has only worked as a model for a while.. she looked so much like Kate Moss! I really enjoyed my time there, although the photographer was a chainsmoker..

So, about the shoot.. I got lots of weird make-up and cloths wrapped around my head.. if you would've seen me walking down the street you would've made fun of me.. but I promise, it looks cool on the pictures. I may post them on my LJ, but I'm not sure about that (I like to stay anonymous, but not that anyone knows me anyway).
The make-up and hair took about 2 hours a time, so we could only have 4 different shoots.. but then again, I got a little tired of constantly sitting there and change to go in the bathtub and get poked at and whatnot, but I have to get used to that I guess.
Sometimes I think it's better to just go to school again, but this is my dream and I have to endure it. I know lots of girls would kill for a chance like this, and I don't really appreciate it.. yet!
Maybe it's because I didn't get paid anything yet.

I arrived back home at 11:30 PM, it was a really really long day.


Yesterday I got a call of the dutch Avant Garde and they want me to give a short interview. I don't know if I should do that as it's only to promote the modeling convention, but the exposure would do me good. I won't get paid and I have yet another day to travel.. I'm practically broke! I think I'm going to call it off, especially as I have another test shoot the day before, and I don't know if I would make it on time.

I also need to start working out again! I'm too lazy *grumbles* and I eat too many cookies.. I must not gain any weight! Actually my hips are 3 cm too big so gaining weight would be really really really really REALLY bad!

I'm gonna work out today again, atleast.. I try :P

Welcome to my journal,

I don't expect that a lot of people will read it, but I hope that one or two people will..
Here I will write about my journey to becoming a real model.
The journey has already begun actually.

Alice Le Fay isn't my real name, but ofcourse you will have guessed so much.
It will be an alias, and eventually.. if it comes so far, I will change my modeling name into it (probably).

A little about me.. not too much though!
Age: 17
Birthdate: March 27th 1990
Country: The Netherlands
Favorite Food: Anything.. I love food, but I'm a vegetarian. I prefer my dad's spaghetti and my mom's lasagna.. oh and my own tomato soup!
Smells like: Puma perfume, it doesn't have a name, but it reminds me of spring.
Likes: Cooking, rubber ducks, listening to music, playing dress up, reading, writing, shopping, playing video games, watching anime and my boyfriend.
Dislikes: Meat, spiders, bad weather, being harassed, being broke, cleaning stuff up and sister in law.


So, about my journey to becoming a model.. where to start.

Ever since I was little I dreamed about becoming a model, but I wasn't pretty. Actually, I got bullied because people thought I was ugly.
Pale skin, freckles, caterpillar eyebrows, glasses, braces.. yes, I was a true beauty.
Not too much has changed though, I tweeze my eyebrows now and the braces are gone (although my teeth became crooked again, wich I like) and I wear my glasses occasionally, but my self esteem is rather low, and I really don't see why people think I'm so pretty.
But last summer I was on a music festival and a couple photographers came up to me and said that I should participate in Holland's Next Top Model. "Yeah pff... sure"  was my reaction, but it kept playing in my mind that it wouldn't hurt to atleast try.

Last December I bought the dutch AvantGarde and there was an interview about a modeling convention.. sounded great, about 50 agencies came to scout, but the downside.. it costed 400 euros! I borrowed the money from my mother and we went to the convention.
I expected to go home empty handed, or maybe 3 callbacks (interviews with the agencies) at the most, so the outcome was most surprising (considering there were so many girls with long blonde hair, wearing high heels and had professional photos! I had a serious bad hair day with my patchy black hair.. I wore dirty chucks and I had lousy pics..), I actually got 15 callbacks! FIFTEEN!

A couple weeks later I joined an Dutch agency and 2 days after that I had my first photoshoot (wich was awesome by the way, a little cold)..
Now, a week later I have another photoshoot, wich is tomorrow (ack, I have to take the train of 6:22 AM!) and next week I have another photoshoot.

So, in this livejournal, I will tell everything about my photoshoots, traveling, hair madness, my thoughts, sometimes things like drawings, possibly pictures and.. everything else.

I hope you will enjoy the read :)

Alice
