Well, where do I start, I guess at the beginning. Jag and I headed out at 7am to Aspen for the photo shoot for Snow Magazine not knowing what to expect. We arrived about 8:45 and walked in to the clubhouse at the private Aspen Race Track, which is owned by a bunch of billionaires. The owner of the magazine rented it out for the shoot. There are more pictures below but here’s a few. In this picture of Jag, he was getting ready and he’s wearing a super cool coat that comes out this winter. His eyes are wide open as I caught him off guard! Back to who was there when we showed up.
There was a crew consisting of a make-up artist and hair stylist from Los Angeles, who were great! Christian from Miami, (our new best friend) who was the photographer and shoots for everyone from Vogue to Elle magazines, 3 girls for wardrobe, and John, the Head Stylist or guy who helps decide who should wear what and stand where along with Christian. Also there was Ernesto, Christian’s photography assistant who makes all the pictures come alive after Christian shoots them, throw in Barb who owns the magazine and then the Talent, or the models, and that was it. Oh there was also the guys that ran the race track and a few locals who brought out their cool cars for the shoot.
For the Talent, there was Gabriella from New York and Toronto, Miro (a guy) from Slovakia and Matt from Los Angeles. Then there was Taylor, a girl from Aspen and Eddie, another model from somewhere and Jagger.
First off, everyone embraced Jagger and made him feel great and welcomed him warmly. Gabriella, who has a Master’s in Cellular Biology and works at a Venture Capital firm in New York, said he ought to be doing runway modeling and is going to help introduce him to some agencies. Miro said he wished he had Jag’s height as he’d be working a lot more, and Hector the hair stylist, and Jag spent time talking about the new Nike and Adidas shoes being released as Jag’s kind of an expert. Christian took a bunch of extra shots of Jagger for us that he is sending us and will probably take a picture for me of Andrea and the CEO of a huge account in New York in a few weeks when I’m in Miami, for their Fall catalog. He’s also going to bring a bunch of Super Models to our event, which he calls eye candy, but of course he’s gay. Matt also was really nice as was Miro. Those three were the high paid talent that was flown in. Matt had a part on Criminal Minds a couple of days ago, Â which is a popular CBS tv show, but he said he only had 13 lines and then they stabbed him! He, like a bunch of models, is also trying to make it as an actor.
The day was long with a bunch of wardrobe changes and set changes. The real pictures on the computer and Christians camera look much better than my I Phone photos below, but it’ll give you an idea. Afterward, Jag and I had a bite of sushi to eat in town before heading home to Vail. We were both tired but it was a good experience and Jag and I had a fun day. He will be in the magazine when it comes out and we’ll get everyone copies. It’s a pretty impressive magazine with great circulation. It’s like Vogue for winter sports. So, here’s some pictures, enjoy!
Pretty fun for him to be part of a real professional shoot, we can’t wait for the real pictures to come out. Jag did great and even if he never does it again, at least he had an experience he’ll always remember, God Bless.
