But on Saturday night, my friend Patrick took us to a pool hall called RACKS which was swarming with models. Honestly some of the girls were so beautiful that I couldn’t stop staring hahaha. To quote Raylene, “They HAVE to be models because they’re just too pretty to be doing anything else.” Hahahaha.
I actually know a girl who came to model in Hong Kong (now she’s modeling in Singapore) … the lifestyle is so interesting to hear about…they’re put up in an apartment with bunk beds with other models, basically like in the movie zoolander. And they’re given an allowance of basically a hundred bucks a week, just to get by – and they go on castings until the book jobs, and when the do book jobs, they have to pay the allowances back. Then they have the party scene… here’s an excerpt from her blog:
the thing i like the most here though is one of the clubs out here. everyone who's a model goes there. why? well...in order to keep the place poppin they figured that they should have models around all the time. so the way that they attract us is by allowing to get in free all the time as long as we call ahead of time (normally it's $300 HK just to get in...that's about $50 US dollars i believe). once inside they then sit us down along with other models so we can socialize. then...once situated they ask us what kind of four course meal would we like. we get to choose our own appetizers (salads, soybeans, miso soup) our own sides (sushi, green beans, etc), then our on entrees (sweet and sour pork, sauteed chicken, broccoli, chow mein). i love it. then....after the dinner they pull away our tables to make room for a bigger dance floor. turn on some music then bring out the alcohol. they reserve a table for all of us models and and use it to give us an endless amount alcohol (red and white wine, vodka, some dark kind, and pitchers of red bull and many different juices). it's great.
