  I had been in this industry for more than 10 years, this year being my 11th year.
  
  I recently had been asked to do a job which requires me to go for a casting! That's right CASTING, just like a model/artiste going for an audition. However my casting was a make-up casting. I was quite shocked at first coz I never done any make-up castings in my career before...
  
  The job was quite hush-hush, as not much details was revealed to me before the actual casting.
  
  The job was for GUCCI's CREATIVE DIRECTOR FRIDA GIANNINI, yes, that's right. The one and only FRIDA GIANNINI.
  
  A blonde model was selected for the casting and of coz she didnt not resemble Frida at all. However after completing the make-up casting within an hour, I was later informed that GUCCI had apparently casting MANY MANY make-up artists in CHINA AND HONG KONG!! I was baffled but yet very honoured to get the job!
  
  I had worked with famous celebs before but never had i seen such an exagerated scernario during our Shanghai/Beijing trips.....Everyday, there were at least 10 limos escorting Frida and her team out for her promo trip. And there are police cars following in front and behind her. On lookers probably assume it was some political figures in town but little did they know is the genius behind GUCCI!
  
  Frida was really nice and I really had a very good time working with her. Marco Chan was the mane man who shared the honour of working exclusively with Frida over a period of 5 days in Shanghai/Beijing.
  
  It was a really fun trip, with lots of dramas in between and I look forward to seeing the DIVA of all DIVAs again next time!
