Report from Japan: Tricia Rollo

One of our top Dallas girls, TRICIA, jetted off to Japan and has been hitting the ground running, going to castings, making new model friends and seeing the sights!

We caught up with her on facebook!

HOW LONG ARE YOU IN JAPAN?
I'm supposed to be here for two months. We go on castings almost every day all around the city and even in Kyoto, which is about an hour and a half drive from Osaka. We're never quite happy when we have to drive there. Those days are usually the longest.

WHAT ARE YOUR CASTINGS LIKE?
No jobs yet, but it's only been a week so it's okay. I go on castings for a lot of department stores and I've been on a wedding dress casting. I've also been on a castings for work wear, like for uniforms for the the type of jobs in the service industry. Some other clothing brand castings and for some posters for other stores as well.



FAVORITE THING ABOUT JAPAN?
I don't really have a favorite, but I really do like how nice everyone is. They have a lot of cute clothes, so good shopping. Everyone is so stylish here. The best shopping is in Shinsaibashi, which is definitly the more rich part of town. The Japanese love baseball, which I didn't know.

HOW IS MODELING IN JAPAN DIFFERENT THAN MODELING IN TEXAS?
They do kinda love models over here =] Anywhere we go some will say to us "beautiful, beautiful," when we walk by. I feel like it's a lot dfferent than Dallas because when I go on a casting there I know what to do, I feel I know what the client wants. But here, they look for different things, and different kinds of poses that I'm not used to and never do back home. So it's kind of intimidating walking into a casting not knowing really what to do for sure. But I am asking a lot of questions and becoming more comfortable.




WHERE ARE YOU LIVING WHILE YOU ARE IN JAPAN?
I am staying at a models apartment in Kyobashi. I have my own room and bathroom and kitchen (which is a small little unit in the very corner of the room, but it works =]). There are five floors, but the top floor is are nice apartments and are more expensive. I dont know any of the other models who's ever been up there. There are four apartments per floor, and I live on the third floor. I am going to try to move to the room next to mine because the girl that was there just left and my sink kind of leaked everywhere yesterday night. It smelled and was pretty gross, haha.

SO ANY CATFIGHTS?
I'm super grateful that all these girls here are so nice. They are all more experienced traveling than I am . Im the only one here whos completely new to this situation, so they are really helping me out. I've heard stories about other models before being so mean and divas but these girls aren't at all, thank God. =]
