This is a conventional job, an everyday works that only required a sophisticated lady to representing the product. The model today was Anna, we’re concluded that she is one of the most beautiful girl ever come from Wales and she is our favorite girl so far for June – July months, after working together with her for more than three job in a row! We’re working with her again today… And today is the advertising for GE Central card with Master Card.

ENGLAND FROM THE NORTH, PART I

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

It’s been quite busy mix with lazy for the past few week. Sorry Shane that I didn’t update my blog as it should be and thank for giving me a kick to put every stuff I have into it… This is the lastest trip aboard I have so far for the past 2 months. It couldn’t be anywhere else but England and this time I’m heading for the north!

Life back in the UK nothing much but having English breakfast for morning, having bitter for afternoon then wine for the night. Every single day I feel fatter and fatter!!!

Many of the night in London, I went to the oldest wine bar in London called ‘Gordon’s Wine Bar‘. It’s the one near Embankment and Charing cross train station. I like the rotten feel inside here very much, it made me feel like I’m a Harry Potter while having butter beer ;-))

And after spending a few day wondering around London watching lot of plays, visiting a lot of museums and galleries. The trip starting with a few day in Manchester before we drove the car for some sweet and food both in Ramsbottom and Rochdale.

After we’ve got all the sweet ready in our pocket then we heading to the tourist town called Blackpool. We’re all so having fun in the Pleasure Beach. I did go on the PEPSI MAX after queueing for an hour to play it. It is very fun and very exciting machine, I would highly recommend everyone to try once!

We spent all day having fun in there until I notice that in Pleasure Beach, it is look very much like a capital town of Chevs and Hoodies… just so many many of them everywhere ;-P

And before we leave Blackpool. We having some dinner there and it couldn’t be anything else but Fish & Chips. We have it take away and decided to have it by the beach. It’s a brilliant idea until we got there and start to eat. The wind by the beach was so strong and fierce cold until our fish suddenly turn cold in a flash… So we have to find a shelter by the beach to protect us from these fierce wind while we could still enjoying a beautiful sea front and sunset!

Iran might not be an ideal place for many people, especially westerner, to visit but for me it was a great opportunity to have once in a life time! It was a trip for Honeymoon & Travel, Me and other crews don’t feel sure what we will face in Iran.

I was in Iran in 2008 and there so many bad political news in the press so everyone feel not really sure to be here but anyway we are here at last. And when we’re here everything looks very calm than we’re expected. I mean everything seem normal to me nothing like in the news.

The only thing I’m not keen on are food. Well, I’m just a person that not keen on Middle East food and also Chinese food ( I mean the authentic one in China. It’s just too oily for me, I’m okay with Chinese food in Thailand as they seem not oily as the original one )

We’re also went to the small town village and visit the old mansion in Kashan. In this area we found people with traditional Persian mix with Islamic dress style.

The most beautiful thing in the trip was the Mosque in Isfahan. It was one of the most stunning place I’ve ever been! Even though, It was on the renovation process but the building itself look very beautiful and huge!!!

And after enjoying the Isfahan Mosque and do some shooting in there, we enjoying the shopping in the square in front of this famous mosque. I brought some persian rug and some persian tote bag. It’s lovely colour and lovely persian items to have.

If I have another chance to go there I would love to go to Persepolis, Mesopotamia.. feel very sad that our 10 days in Iran not enough for that… so I wish one day I would be there again!

A HAIRY JACKET

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Here it is… a job with a hairy jacket that I made for Central Department Store Advert in Thailand. This is a job in this month that not only require my styling but also some sewing skill too. This was inspired by the jacket from Martin Margiela

00220m

but I decided to made it look more like McQueen style… as McQueen style would look more fierce and modern than somber Margiela version…. The campaign is about the special month sale at Central department Store with a famous magician from France, Laurent Beretta, to show in Thailand at Central for three days.

So that why the picture required some magical non-natural clothes but still not look over the top as it is the style of Central. (Paragon and Emporium department store, competition department store in Bangkok of Central, would be more fantasy styling and very very over the top image!)
