hey elisha

where do i start...
its been a week since my last post and alot has happened.

...did an amazing shoot with photographer Olivier Henry
on sunday with an interesting crowd.

...met up with Esan from HOODS INC to discuss about
possible future projects.

but what really took me by surprise was the call i got from my
agent, Chris.

earlier this year i had the honor of producing and choreographing
the official opening of NIKE's flagship store/boutique at
Wisma Atrium. and we had 10 of the hottest models for the
fashion show!
if you think getting 10 models to fit the look of the show
was easy... YOU ARE SO WRONG!!!
we wanted models who had character, edgy attitude,
street smart style, non anorexic and full of energy!
so after long weeks of castings & auditions we found
our perfect 10.
and one of them was Elisha.

i first met Elisha late last year at
Jazreel Low's bridal fashion show.
he was the 1st model to arrive for rehearsal.
polite. that was my first impression of him.

then, i bumped into him at NUH where i was visiting my mom in January.
i almost didn't recognise him with his hair longer.
but i remembered that polite smile.
and to my surprise he remembered my name.
we spoke briefly, sharing that he too was visiting his father there.
i asked him then to audition for the NIKE event knowing
he would be perfect for the show.

well, how do i say this... he came. he conquered.

the show was a huge success!
the clients were so pleased that the models were
given all the outfits they wore for the show!
my perfect 10 models.

...so imagine my surprise.
i did not believe it.
chris wasn't sure himself, looked like him, but... is it?

then i saw it for myself...
