SIGH..........
My latest campaign..... feels like.... a flop!!!!!!!!
It's like pure bad luck ever since the 1st day.
Design wise - No luck with whatever fabric I want...... the lace I want to use is confined internationally....... Cannot meet minimum quantity so have to change designs and I thought, OK lor... Change designs nevermind lor, just change the designs the best that it can look and then shoot chio chio still can make myself happy and sell my designs super well can liao. Happy liao.
But hor no lor! I can't believe my luck when I start to cast models all the way back in early June lor!!! No models lor that suits my exclusive label lor!!! SIAN LEH!!! I thought I can fly Anastasia back again this year since no one can match her standards liao. Without Angie around to make the decision and no one to back me, I made a SUPER daring decision without any consent lor - that is to pay HALF her air ticket from Milan to come back just to shoot my campaign lor.

Touch-up and DI - Me!!!
Model - Anastasia from ave management.
Oh Anastasia......
Where art thou?!?!
After so many calls, so many emails, so many sleepless nights (everytime I wake up in the middle of the night and I will automatically start thinking about this problem then I can't sleep already!) the agency tells me to forget it since the air ticket is toooooo ex and even half the air tic is over my budget..................
So when I approach another agency, and almost found a some-what quite suitable model, the 1st agency offered to fly another model from NY for me. This model's portfolio looks ok but I haven't seen her real person so I am not sure what I'm in for PLUS I send the other short-listed model for casting and the photos that came back is so not flattering lor.
HEADACHE AR........................Then the model war started. 2 agencies fighting for this job. Called me almost every hour lor. 1 agency tried to talk me through to book their girl, the other one keep brainwashing me. It was so bad everytime I hang up the phone I get a splitting headache........
So after a few days, we finally made the decision to fly the girl from NY. So there is no going back but yesterday when I saw her, I was so disappointed lor.... No right she can pose lah BUT she looks so old lor.... her boobs also not natural. Double blow man! Then my booker still call me and tell me: "think I won't ask her back in Sept already... she don't have market in S'pore lor...oops, you get what I mean hor?!" I felt like at the point, I had been stabbed already then he came and push the knife further in and not only that, took the knife and started turning the handle right and left then left then right again and says "DIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! You bitch!!!!"
(
I bet if Yvonne is reading this, she will be laughing out loud lor! Thinking.... Elaine "or-bi-good" lor, don't wanna book my Zoe lor!)So I have No luck with models, no luck with location, my samples cannot be done in time and sooooo many other problemssssss..... I am so going crazy already.
Tomorrow is the shoot already. Going to dbl O to shoot so hope all is well. Hope the model don't look so old. Hope I don't need to do toooooo many touch up after that.
Pray hard for me, will ya?
