Yesterday I enjoyed a wonderful day in Singapore... Started out by meeting up with a possible future landlord. His apartment was nice, clean, and most importantly PROPERLY FURNISHED!! And when compared to the model apartments I was staying in a month ago.... this new place is like a taste of Paradise. Clean Air Conditioners, pot and pans that still have their teflon coating on them, a Washing machine that actually WORKS - and 3 bedrooms for TWO people instead of Three bedrooms for SEVEN PEOPLE!! And all for just 200 SGD more than I was paying in the model apartment... And it's near Little India, the only completely 24 hours spot in Singapore. nice!!!!

After that meeting (the landlord gave me a ride back to my friend's nice new and expessive apartment) my friend and her bf took me to a birthday party on Sentosa Island.... what a nice place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon! I don't care what haters say about the fact that's it's an all man made beach.... it's still nice no matter what.... My california heart remains at the beach even when I am not there! I met some really chilled out people and one Indian guy who was from Japan. Very interesting fellow, and also met a cool couple that play ultimate and who lives near the primary jungle on the outskirts of town... Afterwards we all joined up at Newton Circus for some Traditional Singaporean food. I finally tried the Sting Ray and it was very good... I also tried Sugar Cane juice, which was a bit TOO sweet for my liking, even after the lime juice is added. We all feasted on Chicken Wings, Oyster Omelettes, Kang Kong (Tong Choi), Clams, Chicken and pork Skewers, and a few others dishes that I didn't get a chance to identify. We ended with a platter of fresh fruit, yummy! It was all very good indeed.

I came back to my friend's house where I am staying, and I was really happy to have finally met her boyfriend on this beautiful Sunday. We chatted together a bit before bed, and I shared with him some of my crazy MALE MODEL LIFE stories... he was fascinated by most of it... and other bits (mostly the complaints about the industry) he was already aware of because of his wonderful model girlfriend. He told me I should write a book describing my experiences and challenges of living life as a heterosexual male model... and So in honor of that suggestions I have decided to start a blog. I am thinking that if I write it here on the computer I will be able to write in more detail (before my hand gives way to pain)... in addition to gauging

the amount of public interest about the subject matter.

So... I am A MALE MODEL since 2001. I am STRAIGHT. And I work in a world predominantly full of stuck-up fahionistas, HOT YOUNG WOMEN, overly AGRESSIVE GAY MEN, and unscupulous and most times very deceitful Model Bookers and Talent Managers. The things I have seen and experienced should be more than enough to scare any right-minded parent into protecting there beautiful young son or daughter from the dangers of this COMPLETELY unregulated industry.

When I make a book out of all if this, my biggest wish is that it will create enough of a stir, WORLDWIDE, to get more funding and support for Model Unions to be established in EVERY COUNTRY... I will put my money where my mouth is when and if this happens BECAUSE Weird and Crazy things are happening every day in my industry...If you only KNEW!
