My Tummy Hurts
This week's most improved model talks about the candy challenge ... and the pain it can cause.
March 10, 2009Dearest 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
hey! I watched this show here in Korea.
you are so adorable!!!!!!
OMG you are a CARL?? I knew that you seemed awesomer than everyone else. Now I am definitely rooting for you 100% - maybe you can prove that not all Carleton kids are awkward and disheveled...
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 ;)
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 ;-)
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.
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! :)
good luck! trust yourself and have confidence!
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.
Colin, as a science geek and a female with eyes, I am rooting for you. But you've got to relax in front of the camera! Otherwise you'll be booted off and then I won't have any reason to watch this show!
Colin, you were a standout to me from the get-go... You are absolutely gorgeous, and it seems like you are trying the hardest out of everyone to learn and improve. And if you keep improving at this rate, you'll be unstoppable! Good luck! :)
Colin - thanks for showing the world that our school isn't as ugly as rumored. You make Schiller proud! Too bad we're alums or we'd give you Friday Flowers :)
I really can't get over seeing you on tv. man, i had the like a prayer experience way too much this summer internshipping with a bunch of non-carls. i don't think they ever really understood why i got excited when the song came on the radio. YOU = AWESOME
You are definitely my favorite!!! You're so cute and slightly quirky, and it's amazing that there's someone in med school in this competition (this coming from a pre-med). But also, I really think you have what it takes to win this =)
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
Colin, what a great blog :D Thanks for being such a beautiful person in and out, and I hope everything you wish for comes true. You have a great future ahead of you! I can't wait to see you on this week's show <3
Hey Colin! You are doing really great! It's amazing how much you have improved since the last episode! Awesome Job!!!
Xoxo
Abigail
PS- I am honestly hoping for a Superhero Shoot to see just how much you look like Superman hahaha. Lame but yeh.. You'd rock it =]
Congratulations on a job well done! Your academic pursuits and solid work ethic have undoubtably aided in the great strides (no pun intended) you've made this week. Your humility, yet quiet confidence, are genuine therefore setting you apart from the others in a positive fashion. Don't lose that quality! Best of luck!
GO Colin!!! everyone wants you to win :D
You are the best looking guy on the show! The awkwardness works for you. I hope you win!!!
Me and my friends all think your great! Very cute and down-to-Earth, I think you're very admirable. I'm rooting for you! Best of luck!
You are brilliant, physically,etc. However, as a PhD student in philosophy, I have to wonder why modeling is preferable to academia.
Colin- I think you will really do well in this competion if you keep pushing yourself. You are one of my favorites, I'm rooting for you!!! Good Luck
Whoa, where do I begin. Well you have thee best facial structure I have ever seen. I am praying that you win. You are by far thee best looking guy on the show, no doubt about it. Good luck, finger crossed.
Chocolate will always be you're friend, no matter what form, candy or person...anywho, do your best, we're rooting for you!
Colin I hope you don't accept the advances of Keryn and go for the exquisite girl next door Jordan instead. Clark Kent and she's your Lois Lane.
Just pursue your dream! Good luck!
加油！
Colin, I think you're awesome and I'm so glad you got to stay!! I think another Virginian needs to win this season!! =D Good Luck!!
please tell me your shirt came off in the car! You stood out to me even before I knew you were a Carl - that knowledge just makes me want you to win even more.
Colin-- OMG you continue to impress us all! Fan fave fo' sure. You were the most delectable piece of candy this week. LOLz.
Colin- I think your look is amazing and i'm sure you'll make it far in this competition, you seem to have the right attitude to make it work. I loved how in the first episode everyone thought you looked like Clark Kent hah! its true though, I feel like some episode you'll just rip off your clothes and have a superman suit underneath. Bet of luck! :)
You have a natural model face to me! You are cute, and I like that you have continued to do better and better.I think your walk has gotten better this week. You looked so sexy for the chocolate shoot, but I feel you fell short and it didn't connect with the camera. But you still rock and I cannot believe you are a virgin=P
I am cheering for you! You are so charming and sexy, and intelligent and a lot us women out here love that, so keep it up! You're something special in that industry, don't lose who you are. I wish you the best in life and in the competition, and can't wait to read more blogs. <3 :)
Ah, Colin you're adorable, you have that guy-next-door look and I know you'll do great! Love your "journal entry!"
COLIN! totally rooting for you! you've got the brains and the look to completely be a top model. You're really quirky which is a quality i share with, guess that's why you might be one of my favorites. You and Johnathon completely have my vote. Like i said, if you don't make it in this competition, they're no doubt that you won't be later in life. You're so persistant and just willing to do what it takes. Greatly admire you're endurance and strength. Keep being quirky and fun! BEST WISHESSS!
I believe in you, Collin. Don't let the competition get you down. <3
Colin - you are one of my favorites and I hope you do well in this field no matter how far you go on the show. You have the most beautiful face, and I'm sure it will be noticed. Best wishes.
Colin, I think you're great. I'm rooting for you and I really believe in you. And I think you're absolutely adorable. Let's have some coffee together ;)
Nice to know Carleton students still have a thing for Madonna!
Ahh! Candy. Candy is good. And you did improve very greatly! I'm really excited to see how you do in the end. Wishing you the best, sonia.
