Global Conquest Two Year Anniversary

This site has been officially running for two years now. The first year was quite interesting and though the second year followed a relatively consistent theme, modelling, the second year was also quite interesting.

This time last year I was dabbling with gymnastics while working part time at my mother agency, Mode Models. I managed to learn a front tuck and front flip. I was working on back tuck and back flip when I was placed with the agency Joy in Milan. In April, I dashed off to Italy where I reached an all-time low before landing my first job, an editorial for the Dutch magazine Avantgarde.

I managed a trip to Bologna and a trip to Switzerland amidst some interesting parties before I abandoned Milan for London.

I spent some time in England getting to know my granny whose company, while growing up in Calgary, I missed during childhood. I also visited with my aunt and uncle at their lovely cottage in Haywards Heath. Using England as a base, I went to Holland then to Denmark and Sweden where I did my first fashion show during Stockholm Fashion Week.

I was about to return to Canada when instead I dashed off to Singapore. I had an amazing couple of months with the agency UpFront. I did lots of work including my first cover and a trip to Kuala Lumpur for an overnight shoot.

I went home for Christmas and spent a few weeks in Canada before it was once again off to Milan. And here I am.

As for the site, I announced some major plans last time for the "unfinished" parts such as the links under my psychedelic face. Well, those updates never happened. In fact, the gallery was even taken offline. I have done some tweaking of the site, but it is generally the same as when introduced last year. So I will take this occassion to rescind the announced development. I am currently working on some top secret projects which may or may not receive some involvement in the site. Aside from that, any changes will happen as they happen.

If you want to help, you can link to my site. I am trying to beat a certain Reverend and his auspicious vegetarianism in my google ranking.

Here is to a fun and fabulous year three.

I just got my Iron Ring. I am highly inebriated, but let me say this: William, you are an inspiration to us all. I hope you keep posting so that those of us with more pedantic lives (that would be everyone who reads this site) can continue to live vicariously through you!

Cheers,

Jeff

Hey Will, it's Keith from London. I happened to stumble onto your site through a bizarre googling coincidence. Looks like you're having quite the adventures. Anyways, maybe you can help me out with something, I've lost contact with Rich and don't have an email or IM contact for him. If you have either one of those, could you let him know my email is [removed for privacy]. It would be much appreciated.

Take care,

Keith
