Make Me A Supermodel

Colin

Dearest Journal,

Hey there. How are you? I’m fine, thanks.
I’m sure that everyone is saying this … but … my tummy hurts. Whoever’s idea it was to bring candy back home from the shoot should be punished. I find myself taking a handful every time I walk by the dining room table (read: frequently).

But, yeah, the shoot. Being covered in warm liquid chocolate is really soothing. I recommend it to everyone. I’m a little frustrated that in spite of my comfort in my “outfit” I still looked stiff in front of the camera. I definitely need to work on that. And my eyes. Mirror time is in order.

The dudes around the house are saving me. Jonathan and Shawn are great work-out buds. I need to put on quite a bit of muscle and those two are great at pushing me. My chest is always sore. Ugh! I should probably be doing some pushups instead of writing. I’ll keep the rest brief.

The catwalk was much more comfortable for me this week. Branden has put in a lot of time with me and there are moments in front of the mirror when my walk looks almost real. I just need to work on getting it consistent, especially in front of the judges. It was fun to work with Salome. It’s nice to start to get to know her. I think we did well together and I’m glad the judges kept me around to tell me that they noticed my improvement. The advice they gave me about the photo shoots was really good and I look forward to bringing it to whatever ridiculous situation they put us in next week.

On the drive back to the apartment “Like a Prayer” came on the radio and it made me homesick for Carleton (for a reason only Carleton students will understand). They keep us busy here and I’m enjoying all of the new people who surround me, but I wonder what all of my friends at school are up to.

I’ll try to write more in the upcoming weeks, and I’ll try to keep the mood more light. I don’t want all of my journal entries to be a total drag.

Xoxo,
Colin

Colin,
Great job on improving your walk in just a week! Colin-walk 2.0 is significantly nicer to look at haha. I think you were the only person with any really noticeable improvement, actually (at this rate, you're going to be winning immunity like you own the place ;P).

HAHA I'm really sorry, but I had to say that your expression after Kerryn's "lick the chocolate off you" remark was absolutely priceless. I nearly died.

Keep up the good work :)
ps. Kerryn definitely has something for you lol. Keep an eye out for her ;)

: 03/21/2009 - 6:28pm; Spenser; Colin..just so you know you are my favorite person on the show. You have the best personality in the competition which I think will take you far. I also think that alot of veiwers can relate to you. I personally feel that you remind me alot of me. I want you to win so bad.

Hey Colin,

You come accross as a very humble and hardworking guy. You remind me of an Indian actor-hritik roshan only you are cuter ;-)

: 03/18/2009 - 8:56am; Bill; Colin, you can definitely do this gig. If you can learn to emotionally connect with the camera and if your walk continues to improve then you've got a really good shot at winning. Love your "look". Wholesome yet edgy.

: 03/17/2009 - 5:18pm; Kim; I LOVE YOU COLLIN! You have a wonderful personality and have what it takes to become a model. You are very attractive and should stop being so hard on yourself. You deserve to be here! You are a model! :)

: 03/17/2009 - 9:39am; WJ; good luck! trust yourself and have confidence!

: 03/17/2009 - 12:58am; anonymous girl; you're hilarious. you remind me of seth cohen from the O.C... i'm not sure if you would see that as a compliment or not, but coming from me, it's definitely a compliment, hah. you're quirky and innocent, it's cute. and i think you're really improving! keep it up bro, and you'll go very far.
