Hello Tokyo

The other day I received some amazing news. My agent called informing me I had been offered a contract over seas in Tokyo. I think at that very moment my stomach fell out my butt. I froze, about 100 things flew threw my mind and stopped on one. How long? I asked. 2 months she said. 2 months in Tokyo. I had to sit down and think, she was throwing information at me like a batting cage. I tried to keep up but I felt like my mind had shut down. Then the more we talked the more the excitement bulleted through me. I realized I will be modeling in Tokyo for a summer! How fantastic! So much to do and so little time!
Tokyo better be ready,
they are getting a piece of Ky.

Beauty Is Pain.


Modeling has always been expressed as a glamorous job. Hair and make-up done, being pampered. It isn't often reflected the hardship we often face. A few weeks ago I did a shoot out on a beach. Now mind you I live in West Coast Canada. It's still cold here. And for the first while I was doing fine, I used to be a figure skater I can handle cold. But hours pass without a coat. Me on the beach in nothing but a slip and slowly my entire body started to turn numb. I couldn't feel my hands or feet, They were slowly turning purple but I persevered and pushed through. When we finished the shoot I hopped in my car blasted the heat and threw one many more layers. And even with all that it took four hours for me to even get pins and needles in my hands.
FOUR HOURS!
Usually they would start after about twenty minutes, I couldn't move my hands, text, nothing. I felt paralyzed. Needless to say I spent the rest of the day huddled in my bed.
But I'd say the final product was worth it.

Beauty is Pain.

Why Ky?

If you happen to stroll across this page you may wonder why Sweet-As-Ky? well I will tell you. I had a shoot a while back. It was outside and freezing out. I don't think I have ever been so cold in my life. But I was fighting it, still trying to rock the shoot. The photographer knew how cold I was, and couldn't believe how much I was willing to fight and put up with. But this is my job, if I wasn't willing I wouldn't do it. He was amazed by how kind I was about it all. He said to me "Wow I have never met such a down to earth model I love it, Such a nice girl Kyla, your sweet as pie. Wait no sweet as ky!" It was one of the nicest things ever said to me, I will never forget it. Majority of people call me Ky instead of Kyla anyway so I just loved it. Seeing that reminds me why I do what I do. It's like a little pat on the back.
So here it is, sweet-as-ky.
