The GOURMET Model's House in Westbourne Park LDN

Girls, especially models, have a special relationship to food! So basically, whenever 16 year old models live in a model flat there are two options:

- either eating lots of junk food...chips...chocolate, ice-cream...pasta...deep fried..McDonalds...

OR

- they don't eat anything, because "they have already just eaten something"; they are allergic to this or that....or they are just never hungry.

That is why my flatmate, the one sitting next to me right now, while I am writing this said that whenever they are ordering lunch at photo shoots and she has been asked what would she like to order she often says:
"I'd like to have a salad leaf and a glass of still water please!"

And I am LMAO right now!!!



And btw this is how salad here is sold...it basically talks to you...



Enjoy me, wash me, keep me chilled...I mean shut up! I am gonna eat you!

(I don't know if you find talking food items funny but we were kind of laughing a lot...)

SORRY, back to the point:

It's rarely something in between those two in model apartments!
I mean: Either the fridge is completely empty..or chips bags and prints of greasy fingers everywhere...

and everybody is stealing everybody's food...
(cosmetics too, but more FOOD)

AND
"normal" people* keep asking you stuff like:

" So have you been starving yourself to dead to do that job?"

"You don't really eat, do you?"
(*models refer to all people who don't model as "normal people")

OR
there are those guys at clubs in Milan or Paris who are walking around in
DON'T FEED THE MODELS t-shirts...

OR
your agent asking you:
"SO you stayed with girl so-and-so in Paris. SHE IS SO SKINNY! DOES SHE EAT???"

SO BECAUSE OF ALL THESE MODELS-and-FOOD-issues I feel obliged to share that:

I have never experienced such a nice combination of both healthy and "junk" food as at this MODEL HOUSE RIGHT HERE, so, even though we have
ONLY 1 KNIFE
and
only 2 teaspoons

in the whole house, we somehow

manage to cook


and eat dinners together,


bake ginger bread cookies...


cut them in shapes...



and make everything out of chocolate, because:



so we DO:

chocolate cake



and chocolate souffles from our chef:


This girl...we love her cause she can cook the most amazing things...in zero time...



and we hate her because she is trying to get us all fat!!!! LOL
But we can't get enough of her!!!

So we LOVE HER!

we also do other RANDOM and CREATIVE stuff:






...and we share our food...(the things on the "common shelf"!)
There are still fights, but just because there is not enough space in the fridge!




Because some people have more food than others...who do their groceries everyday instead of once a week because they consider the space problem...



note the RULES hanging on the fridge:
NO stealing, NO smoking, NO Alcohol, NO BOYS....

BUT one is for sure:
THE MODELS AT OUR HOUSE


EAT FOOD!!!

complicated,

profound

BUT
mostly meaningless thoughts???




After having spent month

after month
putting all her creativity in writing her final thesis for uni...

there she is...

to find herself in LONDON, switching from "existence" back to LIFE!


...staying over here in this blue door in west london...



...not knowing whether to look right or left, keep left or right...and who cares everybody crosses wherever...


...going up..and down..and around...


...clicking 400times while sitting in a pub outside..trying to catch somebody's profile...through the window...

ADVICE: Ok, don't ask me out for drinks I can be pretty annoying company
"yeah yeah of course I am listening to you"
CLICK CLICK CLICK DAMN HE MOVED HIS HAND AGAIN! GRAB THAT GLASS FINALLY!!!WHAT WERE YOU SAYING???
