Model Amy Finlayson Relates to Tinkerbell, Laughs When People Trip and Says 'Dude' Too Much
By Julia Frakes
Model Amy Finlayson (b. December 23, 1987 in Western Australia) is supremely bright, super bubbly, and breathtakingly beautiful -- but it's her dry wit and fun-loving sense of humor that'll really make you swoon.
A portion from our most recent repartée:
Julia Frakes: Do you ever become homesick while traveling?
Amy Finlayson: Heck yes! I travel with picture frames, candles and pillows to make myself feel slightly at home; but my agency knows that I have to go home as much as possible or else I go a little nutty.
JF: How were you "discovered"?
AF: At the 'Viviens Live City Face Model Search Competition' (bit of a mouthful, I know).
JF: What are your favorite hobbies?
AF: Oh you know... base jumping, parasailing, hang gliding, spelunking... the usual.

Fabian Basabe's Epic Evening
By Fabian Basabe
Let me start off by saying I was nursing an epic hangover all day!! EPIC.
So, after the ADAM show yesterday I went to the "Artrageous" party hosted by Vanity Fair at Bloomingdales. it was an amazing set-up and for a fantastic cause. If I were as talented and artist as some of those whose works were being auctioned, I would paint you a picture, but I just cannot. Think fun, bright lights, beautiful models in balloon fashions, art installations and pretty people. So that's all I needed, but I loved seeing Chris Benz (more on him next week), VF's Darryl Brantley and Bob Collacello.
OK, let’s take a second and talk about this New York City taxi strike!!! I paid 40 dollars to go ten blocks!! Something about crossing zones... what is this, DC? When I was there last for the Presidential Inauguration, I learned the hard way that you can literally take a 30 minute cab ride for six dollars if you stay in one zone, but if you take a cab two blocks and happen to cross a zone it will cost you 27 dollars!!
I miss my Hummer... cabs are bullsh*#t!
