Whaaaz up???? One of my busiest weeks ever.

Hi everyone,

The past week was totally Veni, Vidi, Vici. I came, was seen and scored. Not the proper translation, but that´s how it goes :-D 3 days full of pleasant business!

Wednesday: I went to Mannheim to shoot for a ultra secret project. I can´t tell anything but that it´ll be awesome. With an awesome photographer, awesome models and for an awesome company. Wait till fall 2010 and we´ll totally blow you away!

Thursday: It was casting time! In a saloon in Dinslaken. I didn´t think I´d get the part I was auditioning for, especially since this was the first time EVER that I went to a casting but I made it! So tommorow we will shoot a music video with me in it and I even have a small speaking part (ok, technically just 3 sentences, but that´s damn good for a start). And the day after we will shoot for the Cd cover. It´s for the soundtrack of a German shortmovie and you can already find information about the movie over here: http://www.kurzfilmwestern.de/

Friday: Casting time again. This time around for a Model Agency in Düsseldorf. The scenesters that have to do with Vintage, pin ups and rockabilly anyway KNOW how to find me and where to find me. Any other company that has an interest in hiring someone for something retro doesn´t. Probably they don´t even know they want to hire me. So they need someone tha´t tells them :-D Or let´s say: NOW they do, cause I got a modelling contract. It is actually my second one, as I also recently got a contract from a agency in Berlin. In both cases Iam the first pin up and retro model they signed, so that´ll be interesting :-D

I just saw the cover of the new issue of Fräuleinwunder Magazine (the one with me in it) and as it is so damn cute I share it with you!!!

At the moment I can´t tell wether I´ll go to Kustom Kulture in Bottrop as Iam having a bad bad cold. I try to recover, but my schedule for this week is just as busy as the one last week (where´s all that stuff suddenly coming from? I have no clue!). It´ll totally depend on my health condition and the weather!

Casting video out take

As people keep asking ;-)

This out-take didn´t make it to the finished video as I didn´t want to make them believe I´d trash up their expensive set or something... ;-) The video is in German, but I´m sure you´ll get the point anyway... If


I rewatched the original video and it doesn´t seem as embarassing anymore today ;-)

How to do a castingvideo in 2 hours

Hi everyone!

So yesterday I got a message from one of the agency I signed up with. I rarely ever get anything from agencies as mostly people just search me  themselves or drop me a mail cause they saw me somewhere. They asked wether I had the time to go to a casting in Berlin this Saturday. They´d like to submit photos of me to a big designer.

I have never been to a casting, so I was curious, plus the designer is sort of huge so I said "Ok, submit my pics." However I did not expect anything to happen. We are talking about a size 40 Retro Pin up Model presented to a top-notch fashion designer guru.

So I was surprised when my phone rang today and it was the agency. They were interested in ME. However the casting got delayed to a date under the week, So I was sad cause that just isn´t possible. However the casting staff seemed to like me indeed so they said "Ok, than make a casting video and send it to us." So I got instructions for the video and recorded one with the camera standing on my computer as John was still working. I edited it so it wouldn´t be too lame, threw in some snipets from my latest shootings and a few photos and ran to the post-office.

I heard the big boss is the one watching it. I wore my blue playsuit with the white and green flowers that I showed in my bargain-post previously. I just wanted to make sure he´ll notice me ;-)



And I told tons of stuff I could kill myself for on the video. Stuff like that Iam a ebay-addict - I even showed the latest dress I bought. And that I´d buy me a bigger bookshelf if I get the job. And my aunt calling my nose a potatoe. Oh well, the agency said I should tell something about myself. ;-) I hope he has sense of humour, than he´ll have a good time watching no matter wether he´ll actually decide to book me.

I called my Mom cause usually I have no major news to tell when she asks me for them. Today I sure had. I´m very very nervous. It would be totally sureal if they choose me and I´d go to Berlin to shoot for them!!! A whole new level in my career. The chance is small - but it exists!

If they take me I´ll put my dorky casting video online cause in that case it can´t be that horrible. If not it will remain in my archives and I hope my grandchildren will make tons of cash with this exclusive material :-D

Wish me luck. But hey, even if they do not take me I at least got their attention for about 5 minutes and entertained them.
