UN-COVERED #3: What's A Typical Day For A NYC Model?

TEMPEST cover model, Mark Perini

If you've missed the past two "episodes" of UN-COVERED you can check out the first one here and the second one here.

Earlier this week, I realized that I still didn't have a sense of what models do...for Mark its a full time job so how does that work exactly? It's not like you just get up in the morning and head to the office, right?

How do you know where to go and what to do and of course, what to wear...because omg if you're a model you always have to look good, right? And what if you show up to a photo shoot in a rival designer's clothes, do they kick you out? And is photo shoot one word or two?

Lucky for me, Mark is patient and nice enough to explain all these basic details to me so I'll know what to do just in case New York City is looking for 32 year old authors with short legs, stretch marks and a fear of cameras. You never know. As Adam Silverman says in Tempest, always be prepared for anything and everything.
