Love, Hate

Turkey is officially getting booked! The agency is buying my plane ticket and all I have to do is go in and sign the contract. WOOT WOOT!

This ancient coastal city is becoming my new home in 2 weeks. With the spice bazaars, mosques, and Bosphorous Strait, I am going to be engulfed in a very diverse culture for 3 months. Now we had hoped that I would be able to be there for fashion week, which if you don't know, is the most important week where you see a million different clients in a span of five days. It is the craziest time that the fashion world sees and it span for an entire month across the world. You start in New York move to London, then to Milan, then Paris and smaller markets like Istanbul have fashion weeks throughout the month. I was in Athens fashion week and they only had three days but it was full of fast-paced craziness. I only walked two shows but that day was insane. I went to rehearse for the first then had to be picked up for a fitting then back to do the show then right back in the chair for hair and make-up to do another show. That day was one of the longest but most fun days I had in Greece. At the end, I was so pumped that I partied until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. The next day I did a Greek yogurt commercial and that was it for Athens.
This time around if I do get the chance to go to Athens again, which is very likely, I hope that the agency will actually do work and get me out there. The agency that I had was the WORST. I never had official comp cards, never used their book, and they were just mean people. I can't even remember the name of it is how hard they sucked. But this time is going to be completely different. I'm actually going to work and kill that market whether they like it or not.
I am not a naive child anymore and if I don't feel something is right, they are going to know. I am so ready and excited to go over there and show them what an old timer can do, the two weeks are going to feel like an eternity. But I have so much to do before then and so little time to spend with my two favorites in the world. Now I have to start mentally preparing for all the insanity that Europe has to offer so this time around I can actually get something out of Europe instead of Europe taking my soul from me. It's Istanbul baby! Let's party!
