A: Well there is a one in Milan before an underwear show. There was a brazilian dude and stylist stopped him a second before he went to runway cause this guy had a piece of wood in his underwear (to make his gun look bigger) and the stylist told him “what the fuck you doing” and he goes like “Well I just wanna look sexy” can you believe that ? I think the stylist should put the piece of wood on his ass side- that would look sexy :-)

Q : Do u exercise? witch is your rutine.?
A : I’m trying to go 4 times per week - and also some swimming and cardio, but I like to eat too so when I burn it I love to feed myself like balloon :-).

Q : What does it mean for you to be a MODEL?

It was a very intimate look, and as we were in the midst of the shoot, the owner of the house came in to check it out. His knees buckeled and mouth completely dropped when he saw us.
His expression alone was had me cracking up. It turns out the photographer didn’t tell him totally what we were doing. It was a had-to-be-there kind of story.
