Casting time!

About two weeks before NYC Fashion Week my email inbox was filled with casting calls to go to. I couldn't wait for my favorite week of the year. Luckily, I did not have to go to school neither go to work because most of my little german students were on summer break. (info: next to school, modeling etc. I am tutoring german)
Even though I had nothing else to do than going to castings all day, I was not able to make it to each one of them. A lot of them were at the same time and miles away from each other.
Every time I entered the room I saw all these beautiful young girls sitting in lines with their books on the lap. Funny picture! You waited 5 minutes... looked at the other girl's walk and then it was your turn. Show your portfolio and then walk yourself. "Slow! Turn! Now fast" etc... like on a treadmill. :) It is always a thrill.

The longest time I spend for castings was for the Couture Fashion Week, which took place the weekend of Fashion Week. Girls who were interested in walking had to take off two days off and waited all day for castings in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Same procedure... girls lining up, walking and designers picking out the girls they think fit in their pieces. It was quiet exhausting but worth the waiting. I got picked for 3 shows on two days and on Sunday I already had another show. What a success!!
