Every modeling job has a story, but this one was very challenging for me.
About 15 years ago, I was booked for this job in Breda, the Netherlands. I flew Economy to Düsseldorf, took a train to the German border, then another train to Breda. Fortunately, I could speak German and Afrikaans, which is like Dutch, as in the countryside, many people couldn’t speak English and I had to buy train tickets, order food and take a cab.
When we got to downtown Breda, there was a marathon so the streets were closed. I walked six blocks with my luggage to a very economical, small hotel where they couldn’t speak English but we could still communicate.
Another new experience, it was the first time a hair stylist glued hair extensions onto my scalp. Afterwords it was really painful taking them out.
Oh well, the end result was lovely. You do what you have to do to keep in the business.
