Hello again lovely readers, just another quick one as I've got a very busy day today. Surely you must be proud of me for the regularity in which I am now blogging!
You will not be so proud, however, to know that I have not been working out as religiously as originally planned....Oh well, don't need to anyway! Blah to working out! No that's not true, we all need regular exercise and I plan on getting back on it next week. Planning and doing, two different things!
Today I have a shoot, then I have to rush to the Semi-Finals for Juice Magazines next top Uk model search; the winner flies to New York, shoots the cover, etc. I am a judge and I will be judging alongside top model from the US Jessica Rabbit. I am more than happy to help to pick a model I feel has not only the beauty but the talent and the drive to actually make it in this industry. It really takes a lot more than looks and I hope we find a girl with the full package! Lol, have to laugh at something my friend wrote on their Twitter about every girl thinking they are a model now. It started a little debate actually, and it's true, he and many others are right; doing a couple of photoshoots doesn't make you a model. If that's the case everyone is a model because anyone can pay a photographer to make them look good! It takes a long time of castings, jobs (PAID JOBS) and experience to be able to call yourself a model. There's a big difference between an aspiring model, and a working model. Anyone can look good with a good photographer and make up, but without those, can you still work the camera? Who are you modelling for? I could go and grab a girl off road, stick her in front of a good photographer and get some great shots; is she now a model? Lol. Get real. This is for all those aspiring models and working models who are striving towards success; not claiming it before they've even achieved anything!
After the shoot and the judging, I have a meeting with a woman regarding a charity campaign I may be modelling for, so I will keep you posted as and when I get more info.
In regards to my lingerie line, one or two things needed to get sorted asap so the team have flown to Asia for a couple of meetings...leaving me behind! I could do with a bit of sun! (real sun, not this British crap) But I know there is too much to be done here and I haven't the time to be jetting off. The meetings are important but nothing the rest of the team can't deal with.
The other day I mentioned I was tired of working and shooting and filming and writing and producing etc. I then got about 30 emails asking me if I'm "retiring" LOL! They were the funniest emails I've had in a while! Retiring! Get real! I'm not even close to the success I've got in mind. It was funny cos I know I've still got so much to do but also sweet that some people believed I was in a position to "retire". Lol. Hopefully before I am 26 I can not retire, but really kick back and start a family etc, but I do plan on retiring properly before I am 30; don't wanna be middle-aged and still hustling, no way! That's when I'll stop and give my children/husband 100% of my time. I'm not gonna be a Madonna whos kids never see her!
I'm just about to answer some questions for the Daily Sport so I'll let you know when you can read the interview
I just wanna thank Mr weatherman for the sun; keep it shining
Keep your mind right and your body tight
Lioness xx
