You're one of the busiest models during Fashion Week. Do you ever get nervous as Fashion Week is approaching?
"This is already my fifth fashion week, so even though it's very busy I'm already used to it. It's really hard to not be nervous, because you never know when emergencies may happen, such as traffic causing me to be late to an appointment, or if a random casting or fitting gets put on my schedule in the middle of the day!"
So many shows must definitely take their toll! Any health or beauty secrets in terms of prepping or maintaining a Zen perspective?
"I think I've been managing my time better and better with each season, because I always make sure I sleep enough every night.or just whenever possible (All the models do this)! Whenever we're not doing anything too active, especially backstage, everyone tries to get some shut-eye, but as soon as the show starts everyone is full of energy again. Other than resting, I always take photos with my camera or my Blackberry, so when I'm having fun doing that, I easily forget how tired I am. It's important to control your stress with things like that!"
