I don't like the make-up, it always makes me cry ; I have much fun backstage and what I enjoy the most are the five minutes before going on the catwalk.

• Has your taste, and your self image, been modified ? Did you learn anything about you ?
-si por supuesto, viajar es aprender mas de uno mismo, y este trabajo da te esa posibilidad.

-trabajo mas en europa, y siempre es mejor trabajar alli, aprendo mucho.
I'm working more in Europe, it's always better to work there, I learn a lot.
