It only hurts when I'm getting my hair teased up to high heaven or if they're putting on the 5th or 6th full face of the day and my skin is raw from makeup on/makeup off over and over. Otherwise if it hurts, they're doing a bad job.
When you are modeling does it ever get annoying when make up and hair people get in your face?
Nah. It's their job to make me look as good as possible and I'm happy to have someone other than me keeping an eye on things.
I'm actually surprised at how IMMATURE you two are.
If you were followed around online and hassled for years (and had most of your friends and anyone else connected to you online also hassled) by an individual who simply would not take "go away" for an answer, how maturely would you handle it? At this point I'm like an amputee in a "I'm only in it for the parking" tee. If I'm to have a chronic you infection I might as well make light of it.
I'm actually dying at how you're answering these questions at this point. Oh my lord. Gold.
I've come full circle and am now in a place where I'm not taking them seriously anymore. It's become a lot more enjoyable.
What has your favorite photo shoot been, so far? What made it so special that it stands out from the others?
I've had a couple really exciting shoots. My first shoot with a serious photographer was Melissa Rodwell, I saw her work on MySpace and I was stunned by how amazing it all was and when I sent her a message to express how much I enjoyed it I threw in a "I would absolutely love to work with you someday" thinking she'd never work with a weirdo like me but she did and we became friends from that day on. She's so tremendously talented and for her to think I was worth her time made me feel incredible and lucky and like I must really be something special. My work with Bob Mussell was equally rewarding for fairly similar reasons. I met Bob when he was touring with Manson and we would talk a bit when I saw him at shows. After joking around a bit about shooting we finally did set up a giant two-day extravaganza of a shoot that was one of the most elaborate I've ever done. Shooting with Bob was a mindblower because Bob is known for his rock photography, having shot the Rolling Stones, Sting, KISS, The Goo Goo Dolls, Lady Gaga, and of course Manson. (a lot of the promotional live shots from everything between Mechanical Animals and GAOG were Bob's in addition to the really gorgeous photos of Manson's house from THEOL). So for him to take time out from shooting people that've been making platinum albums since before I was born to shoot little old me, that was pretty fucking huge. And on one of my trips to Los Angeles, I had the occasion to work with Sam Emerson whose body of work in the music, movies, and television industries is a bit staggering. The generosity, expertise, patience, and kindness of these three people and their willingness to share their talents with a relative nobody made a serious impression and I don't think I'll ever be able to convey how much it means to me.http://melissarodwell.com http://www.bmusphoto.com http://samemersonphotography.com
