L.A.

I just got to Amsterdam and I'm waiting for my next flight to Zurich but still got like an hour till I have to get on...
We drove down from Yucca Valley on Thursday, I got my car, checked in in my hotel in El Segundo, went shopping and relaxed cause I was pretty hang over;-) Friday I had to go to a Casting up in Hollywood and later I picked up my Swiss friend from the airport and we went for a Sushi dinner at Manhatten Beach!
Saturday I showed him around Hollywood and we went to Universal Studios and partied a bit at night at some bar in Hollywood where every single person wants to be an actor or a model haha;-) It was quite funny actually!
Sunday we were up in Bel Air cause a Snowboard friend of mine had a lil shoot up there in some sick house and at night we went to Knott's Berry Scary Farm! I bascially screamed all night;-)
Monday I drove down to Newport Beach to meet up with Otto Models and then back up to Manhatten Beach before hitting to the airport to catch my flight.

TTY soon!

Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree with Peak Performance

I'm in L.A right now and finally have some time to post some pics from the Peak Performance shoot we had up in Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree.

We flew in to LAX last week and drove straight up to Yucca Valley. The motel wasn't the best I've seen but it was still ok , it's good to not stay in the best hotels all the time, I get too used to it! ;-)

Hiking the first day, me and my music!


Huuuge, that is all I can say!


The pool that was under construction....;-)


Shooting near route 66.....kind of a ghost town, spooky motel!


Joshua Tree National Park


Jimmy posing, Jürgen shooting and David playing the assistant.


Having Said, the professional climber on this trip I had to try climbing. Wow, it is super hard and it really really hurts your hands....I think I prefer indoor climbing cause it is definitely easier than this. Said was climing some really insane routes.


Having fun at the Sushi restaurant next door, Keving the bus driver, Karin the make-up artist, Jimmy the model and me.


Joshua Tree again!


Jep, that is what you see in National Parks.....I saw a couple of them and we got really close.
We also saw a coyote that came super close to the car late in the afternoon, impressive!

I'll be in L.A for a couple more days and try to let you know how it goes here real soon!

Peak Performance meetng in Stockholm

I'm back from Stockholm but wanna go back there asap! ;-)

I had a blast and the whole weekend with the Peak Performance team was so much fun!
We were staying in one of the best hotels in the city, went for nice dinners with a lot of wine, went fishing, partied, talked about products, met all the designers and other people working for Peak Performance, saw the HQ, shot some video and pictures and I now know most of my teammates which is awesome!

I'm back in Zurich right now and packing my bags for my next trip, a photoshoot with Peak Performance in California. I'm leaving Thursday morning and can't wait to get there!

Here some pics from Stockholm:

Caja and me in a fancy night club somewhere in the city


Beautiful little islands further down south the city


Kevin and Caja on the fishing boat.....we lost the competition, we didn't catch one single fish!


Rachael and me on one of the bigger islands before the lunch break


Partying pretty hard....Christopher, Caja, Kevin, me and Martin


Dinner in Stockholm....Anders, Christopher, Martin, Caja and me


What up Kevin? What's the matter with ya?

Make-up artist/Hairstylist

I just finished two weeks of make up artist school in Zurich and I had a blast!
I'm officially a hairstylist too now;-)
It was real good to continue that school and I can't wait till november when I will have school again for 9 full days!
I'm still in Zurich right now at my parents house and can't wait to chill for the next few days....I'm pretty exhausted from my summer programm; NZ, University exams, make-up artist school....
I'm ready for some time off!;-)
I might go horse riding with a friend this week, work out, sleep in, watch tv and movies and chat online cause in 7 days I'll already be in Stockholm, Sweden for a Peak Performance meeting again.

Here some hairstyles I did this week ;-)
