What to pack in your model case?

OK, you're off to a model photo shoot. But, did you remember to pack your bag? Did you put everything you need in it? What you bring to your model photo session will depend upon whether this is your first shoot for a portfolio or a paying job. If you are shooting for an agent or client, he will tell you what to bring but you still need to carry basics in case of changes in hair, makeup, etc... Here are the essentials for your wardrobe. P.S. some of the clothing listed here will be provided if this is a model shoot for a client.

• Casual - blue jeans, sports & knit tops, button up tops, shorts, blue jeans, etc.
  


• Business Suit - for a different look



• Sports (exercise, uniforms, shorts, etc.) - If you plan to do some sports modeling



• Lingerie - If you plan to enter the lingerie market



• Swim wear - needs to be a bikini that really flatters you



• Any props like hats, neckties, men's shirts, jackets, etc.
  


• G-string & bra in flesh tone color - This is to eliminate lines that show under clothing



• Hose/nylons in an assortment of colors



• Socks in different colors including black and white
  


• Bring several different bras including at least one push-up and one in flesh tone color



• A robe to wear between changes during the photo session



• Bring a scarf to wear when changing to help keep makeup off client's and your clothing

Accessories - You've got to have something to compliment the clothes, right..
Along with each outfit, try to bring accessories which will accent or match the outfit. Keep accessories simple.

• 
  Assortment of necklaces Earrings


• Bracelets



• Choker (these are popular at the time of this writing)
  


• Wristwatch - You normally wouldn't wear a watch unless you are doing a photo where you will be looking at the time.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!!!!

As with accessories, shoes should match or accent the outfit. But, you can also think outside the box on the subject of footwear. For example; High heels have a totally different look with jeans or swim wear than with an evening dress

• Dress shoes - Bring several different pairs



• High heels - Also an assortment


• Boots or high heel boots


• Sandal
  

Don't forget about the hair!!!
Below are some items you'll need for your hair (or hair removal)

• An assortment of combs and hairbrushes
  


• Straightener



• A couple of headbands



• Shaving cream and a couple of sharp razors



• Anything else you use for hair care

When coming to the model shoot, I would suggest leaving the hair fairly natural with very little (if any) hairspray.....

Makeup and facial
Even if your shoot involves a make-up artist, you still may want to pack the following cuz make-up fades as time passes and sometimes we are requested to put on our own foundation base bcuz of the the time issue and not enough helping hand..

Your complete makeup kit along with a

• mirror
  


• A moisturizer



• Cottonballs and swabs Lip balm
  


• Vaseline



• A good skin cleanser



• Several different shades of lip color (be sure to bring some solid colors)
  

Nails, finger that is.

• Your complete manicure kit



• Nail polish with neutral color
  


• Remover kit for nail polish

A nice manicure wilreally enhance your model photos, especially images where your hand is near your face in close-ups so pay particular attention to your nails. Don't put on so bright colours :)))

Whatever the eyes see & the heart feels :))

Just sharing :))))

Different people have different opinions on how to strut the catwalk but what's actually the right way to do a catwalk?hmmmm..... I've seen and have been taught by tonnes of different individuals on how to strut the runway but each & everyone of them has different styles/technique of catwalking and they always claim that their walk is the right one but however, when you master one's catwalk, the other individual would say its incorrect . 'Ball of confusion i tell you'....hahaha.... Anyway,..... professionalism wise....., the walk we should/want to master would be the international catwalk. It's very Clean Cut. Nothing more, nothing less. It sounds simple but many failed to master because these days models are prone to crazy poses or hand gestures at the end of the runway. besides that, too much hips and arms swinging , slouching , blur faces , protruding lips, no eye contact,etc etc.... would be an additional disaster... YES it isn't wrong but would you rather be listed as the 'shopping mall model' or the experience one? also, most individuals whom can barely master the clean cut walk are trying and implying those crazy moves and turns into their catwalk... see oso pek chek and girls actually cried because it was so hard to break out from their comfort zone. but at the end of the day, it depends on what show you are doing, the location, choreographer, client, outfits and etc... but if you were to attend any kinda of casting & you are required to do a catwalk, clean cut catwalk is the one you should strut.

pictures of clean cut walk: most of the time, no posing required at the end of the runway

and no smiling too...

the aboves : clean cut walk loOK much nicer rite?

  My girlfriend invited me to her house, I found her sister alone in the house, she was unbelievably sexy, she whispered in my ear, "i have feelings for you, shall we have sex" , I immediately turned around and walked to the front door to go to my car, I found my girlfriend standing there, she hugged me and said: "you've won my trust"... Moral of the story: always keep your condoms in the car.

• “BOYS ARE LIKE ONIONS" ..THEY ADD TASTE AND SPICE IN GIRLS LIVES.. BUT JUST LIKE ONIONS, THEY MAKE GIRLS CRY TOO......A REAL MAN is not defined by how many girlfriends he had, instead, It’s how many girls cried when he said, “No, I’m taken and I love her.”

• Advantages Of Being A Women:

1. We got off the Titanic first.

2. Taxis stop for us.

3. Men die earlier, so we get to cash in on the life insurance.

4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when we're dancing.

5. We can hug our friends without wondering if she's gay.

6. We can hug our friends without wondering if we're gay.

7. We don't have to fart to amuse ourselves.

8. We can congratulate our team-mate without touching her butt.

9. We have the ability to dress ourselves.

10. We have enough sense to realize that the easiest way to get out of being lost is to ask for directions.

• Honey, your skirt is so high up it's a belt. Your hair is so bright it hurts my eyes. Your skin is so orange you look like you were an unfortunate victim of an explosion at an orange juice factory. Your eyes have so much make up on them you look like a raccoon. Who are you trying to impress, a blind man?

• Today I was approached by a homeless man who asked if i had any changeI only had two dimes, but i gave it to him anyways. As i watched him walk away, he put the dimes in someone's expired parking meterSomeone who can't afford to feed himself but helps others.

Nope, I haven't abandoned the blog....

Time passes by fast when I'm busy... suddenly I glance up and it's almost been weeks since I've posted. I am so sorry that I have been MIA. My life has been hectic times a billion lately. Let me give you a recap....

I'm giving myself a huge break right now cuz i'm physically, mentally and emotionally drained .... fashion shows was a successed and gosh, more than 10 fashion shows completed and several photoshooting...how exhausting is tat???!! so, i've postponed all shootings & etc. cuz my whole body screams 'STOP'! seriously...

So, next month i have to catch up with all the postponed shootings and runways...

I adore doing designers fashion show cuz everything is so professional and the design of each outfit is high fashion couture and all so pretty =))) The Fashion Showcase all the famous Malaysian designers from Khoon Hooi, Edric Ong , Zang Toi , Dominique , and many more... I love Melinda Looi's design so much and she has her own collection of designed outfits in Pavilion, KL which cost up to RM9000.... only the rich and famous can afford it man.... Most of her designs are long gowns with Extravagant Trains and its aint easy to strut down the runway with those outfits and not forgetting a pair of killer heels some more....fuh!! *wipe sweat off* hahahahaha

dammit lar...malacca only offers unpaid fantasy/bridal/hair show!who does things for free i dun get it???everything nowadays is about the money, money, money!!! what I dislike most is fantasy makeup show... hideous looking makeup and hairdo and worst of all, they DON'T pay those models at all...wtf rite?? let them sit there for hours, destroying your face and hair & then, do a FREE show for them in those hideous obscene outfit in public...Ugly stuff man... I have friends who does fashion show at RM1000 and as low as RM400 ... SEE, this is what i call worth doing lar....

lately, i'm trying to break into the commercial industry and also print ads/billboards.... cuz big bucks comes from commercials and print ads $$$$$$ so hell yea...I wil be heading back to KL next month and I've been having a great time at parties in KL and gosh....they throw the hottest parties!! love love love it.... haiz.... I miss my supermodel chics so muchie!they are such great fun and they make me laugh like a maniac i tell you!! looking forward to see them in few weeks time =))))) Ntg much about university cuz this semester only 2 subjects and yea boring as usual ....also, i've been really inactive in sports cuz my whole system is temporarily dead. hahahaha.... Okay, that's all for today. I'll write more next time....I promise. So until further notice, go about your blogging business. And don't miss me too much.

Sometimes we drive each other nuts, sometimes we laugh like crazy, sometimes we're the silliest people ever and MOST TIMES we use our own made up words. He is my best friend, my partner in crime and the person who knows the most about me. Even when he's driving me crazy I have to admit I'm pretty lucky to call him mine :))))
