Can you share any specifics?
I think I can...I mean, she said she was aware of what is being said in the forums about different things related to Elite, presumably this being one of them (cus we talked a bit about the TJ/Dionne in the alley...) and I said that I thought TJ was perhaps the more confident of the both of them, whereas in fact it was Gemma who talked TJ in to doing the Sport pics with her.
Some of this anyway might not be new news to the more regular chatters of the forum, but she's off to the US for 10 days with Tommie-Jo and will be working for 3 days with Twistys. I didn't ask if Tommie-Jo is going to work with Twisty's as well or whether she's just going there as company. Gemma did have an offer from Mac and Bumble again, but they only offered 1 day booked at not so good rates for a shoot in Miami, whereas I think Twisty's is LA based and for a longer working period.
She's seeing the photographer again that took her pics with TJ and this time she's taking along her sister with her....from what I gather, if she puts on her persuasive hat again, we might be seeing more of Ashlea than we have up to now.
We talked about the different car shows and memorabilia shows there might be on this year and she won't be at Modified Nationals at the end of this month due to being away, but was unsure of any future ones she could attend. We talked again a bit about Autosport and how they just left her to her own devices for 2 hours before the show started without even meeting and greeting her. I said that it wasn't as well populated with models this year as last, or at least, not as well populated with familiar faces - credit crunch probably, she said it was the same at the Fast Show, or rather, more unfamiliar faces than usual. I think she said she's in this month's Fast Car mag
She talked about her first shift on the night show and the pre-nerves after sitting in on for a bit at the set on the night before, and how she was kind of thrown in at the deep end when Dionne went on her break during her first stint and left to get on with it, but she says she's getting more used to it now. Her b/f was very supportive and encouraging behind the scenes which I think helped her out a lot. As said in another thread, she does appear more comfy in the breakfast show, but getting up and driving to the studio at 3am seems to be the only downside
Then there was just the random sort of chat really, day to day life sort of stuff and that's it. timed out once and ran out of credit on follow up
