Last night I was at the Nivea Annual Hand Modeling Awards and after a year off, I was back in action in the 2007/08 Summer. I didn’t think I had done enough catalogues to get up for the win, but I was able to snare some crucial votes during the February vote count.

Although I didn’t think my work last season was as good as my fall 2004 season with my award winning “VB hard-earned-thirst” beer catalogue. I think my attitude has matured and you can really see that in my modeling.

I had a year off over the 2006/07 summer as a mouth model, and whilst it was great to be the mouth of Evian water, I really missed my hand modeling and couldn’t wait until that contract was over.

Guess was quick to get me on their roster for their autumn watch magazine ads and so I was really lucky to get a “feel” for it all again.

Thanks to all my support. The girls at professionNail, Steve at Minit Solutions for those late night grind sessions, Kelly and Ross at “Your hands is your face” and finally and most importantly, Nivea for the award and the years supply of Nivea Hand Lotion which comes in “handy” just before I go to bed each night. Thank you so much everyone!

This evening I spoke to NRA Fashion Design Awards Supreme Award winner Lisa Brown. I was lucky enough to get some of her time for a phone interview, so listen in as Lisa reveals her experience in the Fashion industry. I also got the truth behind Kate Hudson buying some of Lisa’s clothing.

This interview was recorded with my Nokia N95 mobile phone, the quality is a bit lower than my other podcasts because of this reason. You’ll also notice some blips of silence, in particular during a key moment at the end of the interview. I was suppose to say donkey, haha- you’ll just have to listen to it to hear where I was meant to say that.
