Jobs. jobs, jobs...

Here's a bit of what I do when I disappear from my blog for months at a time (when I'm in Rio, Brazil)...
Perhaps because I don't find this part so interesting since I feel it's just "going through the motions" most of the time.


But there are some great times, highly educational times... tiring? -Yes. but I've also made some great friends and met some really interesting people in this line of work. ;) What is this line of work?   
Mostly reception at international events, conferences, fairs, business dinners etc. Some interpreting/translating involved from time to time. Modeling. Filling in as an extra in commercials and/or movies.

Sounds fun? Well, some of it is, but not so fun when you have to stand ALL day in 5 inch heals, while looking still looking sharp and smiling, always smiling.* XD






Anyway, here are some pics:
(Some are a couple years old)















Commercials:

Yes, I made the dresses. You like?
(...But never again will I putt myself through the torture of sewing under intense heat!
Whilst trying to figure out what I'm doing... and the mosquitoes, Arg! the mosquitoes!!
...DIE, I just wanted to DIE! :S)

usually comes in a Helicopter in Brazil! ;)
