Double Interview with Casey Skinner and Frankie Godoy..

If you haven't seen Make Me a Supermodel, then you're truly missing out. Go download it right now... NOW. It's way better than ANTM by the way. It's so good, that I watched the whole first season of the show again on YouTube over the weekend.

Anyway..

I had the privilege to have a lovely chatty interview with Casey Skinner and Frankie Godoy, who are both so lovely. Both of them were contestants on Make Me a Supermodel, and I was a fan of them and the other boys in the house. Frankie Godoy being there was a great surprise, and it was a great 2 for 1 deal!

It all took place on skype, with a fuzzy but good enough web cam. Casey, as beautiful as he is, had a new blunter hair cut and was a wearing a plain white tee. After the hellos, how are yous, thank yous, and nice to meet yous.. we got down to business.

Casey: So who else did you contact?
LJ: I contacted you, Perry, Ronnie, and Ben. Perry and Ronnie replied..
Casey:What about Frankie?
LJ:I couldn't find Frankie on facebook!

and guess who pops into the webcam vicinity? But Frankie himself! ACK!!! the joy!! I was getting even faster palpitations.. This is way too exciting..

LJ: Brilliant! It's a threesome! So what has life been like for you after the show?
Casey: It's weird cause we got so used to having cameras following us around, that we started forgetting that the camera was there. And then people would come up to you saying you did this..and I wouldn't even remember it.
Frankie: Ya it's funny because people see me walking down the street, and they recognize me from the show!
LJ: I'm from Kuwait, studying in Ireland, and I know you guys! And the show was even bigger in the states..
Casey: Is the show airing now in Ireland?
LJ: Nope, I watched it online. But it's such a good show, I'm telling everyone about it.

LJ:So where are you living at the moment?
Casey:I'm living in New York.. in downtown Manhattan..
LJ:That's cool..I'm so jealous..
Frankie: I'm in Miami, on South Beach..
(I'm even more jealous now)

LJ: So who are you in contact with from the show?
Casey: I see Perry sometimes, we meet up to go to central park.. I see Ronnie from time to time too. They're both in New York..
Frankie: Ya I'm here for 3 days on a job so I'm staying with Casey. I saw Jacki (Jacki Hydock who lives in Miami now), and I saw Shannon the other day..
LJ: What about the winner (Holly)?
Casey: Holly is big in Asia..or something.. but I don't care if she's big in Asia!

And do you have passions other than modelling?
Casey: I've always loved writing. I just recorded my EP, and I'm shooting another movie..
LJ: ooh! That's fantastic! Will you give us a little demonstration?
Casey: Well, I don't have a guitar or anything here.. (whips out his guitar)
(I took a video of the song, but the video and details about the EP will not be given on the blog, because apparently only me, Frankie, and the sound engineer has heard it! .. Let's just say, he's a talented musician..)
After the head bobbing, shoulder shaking, whoot whooting, and clapping, I directed the answer back to Frankie..
Frankie: I love surfing, and the beach.. It's great living in Miami..
Casey: Frankie's passion is boys..
Frankie: Nooo.. I like girls! Lots of girls!
(Casey in the background shaking his head..)
Casey: He likes brothers of girls..

LJ: Which designers would you like to work with?
Both: ooh a lot..
Casey to Frankie: Well you have to be a model first..
(They're such messers!)
Frankie: Gucci! I love Tom Ford..
LJ: Too bad he's retired..

LJ: Any romance in your lives?
Casey: Yeah.. but I'd like to keep it on the down low..
LJ: fair enough!
Frankie: Yeah, I've someone..
Casey: He has a guy..
Frankie: Noo.. I like girls
LJ: You just had to make it clear again!
Casey: John Varvatos, and Calvin Klien..

LJ: Alright guys..... POSE OFF!
Frankie: Last time we did this it turned very ugly..
Casey: Yeah he had to go to the hospital..
(apologies for the shite camera quality)



Ok, just to wrap this up.. What are your plans for the near future?
(both have very exciting plans.. & I'm sure you'll be seeing them in sexy ads soon. Casey turned down an offer from Hollister apparently!)

Any words of wisdom?
Casey: Modelling wisdom?
LJ: Modelling & life in general..
Casey: For modelling, Ignore the camera.. Some of the best shoots I've had were the ones where I didn't pay too much attention to the camera. And for life in general, happiness is rooted in simplicit.
LJ: Wow..that's deep..
Frankie: I know! When we were doing the show, Casey was always spiritual and meditating.. I think my advice would be to just be yourself and be what you'd like to be..

Thank you guys so much for taking some time out and doing this. You're a great laugh and pure lovely..I really appreciate it.
