Second one was, do you ever see the photo booth at Excalibur where the girls and the knights take pictures?
Yeah, so I was working at a little photo booth at Excalibur and that's what opened the modeling world to me.
I was working with a lot of Chippendales and they were in the modeling world.
They were working with some modeling agencies and so I signed on to some of their agencies, started doing runways, some commercial shoots.
Not in the streets.
We had a proper photo booth set up in front of Excalibur.
The girls would dress up as little princesses and the men were dressed as knights.
Yeah, yeah, it was tough.
But when I put myself in that position, I didn't have any choice but to go out there and find an income and find work immediately.
There was no room for failure.
And just constantly being beat up and told that I couldn't do something my entire life, I was like, this is fine.
I've already went through it.
$3,000, I can get by.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you're with other Asians too.
It's different when you're the only Asian.
100%.
They'll definitely pick on you.
It's incredibly difficult.
I don't really speak to anybody from that small town.
