ON THE RUNWAY!


Yo!!! First of all, I just want to say how happy I am 2 be back on the site and you guys definitely give great exposure. Since the last time we spoke I´ve been pretty busy.

 

I've done an underwear campaign and also did some work for international jock. I also walked the runway for Ed Hardy and did ther showroom.


Lee KholafaiGENRE SWIMSUIT ISSUE


I´m on the cover of the new Genre swimsuit issue which is a collectors edition and just shot for Cosmopolitan man manual. I also was filmed on a tv show which want be airing until the end of June or early July. I´ve been walking a lot of runways for a lot of great designers including Russell Simmons new line Argyle.


OFF TO MILAN


So 2008 is definitely looking up for me and I may be going to Milan soon for the Spring/Summer shows but I´m not sure when yet. I recently shot with Rick Day again and I think it's one of the best shoots that we´ve done together. The entire shoot was only about 2 hours and we still had a hard time narrowing down the shots to these.


Lee KholafaiCAMERA STILL SWEATS!


I work well with Rick because he´s really easy 2 shoot with and makes feel at ease. So therefore, I try my best to give the camera all I got and make it sweat of course.


SMALL AIR  MATTRESS


When I was in Miami, I went to the beach everyday and then went straight to Equinox for abs class lol. I lived off Lincoln road on Euclid with two other male models from Front Management and we all slept on air mattresses that kept going flat. My mattress was so small and would somehow still manage to always flip me over in the middle of the night.

LOUD THUD!


It would always wake my roomies with the loud thud of me hitting the wooden floor. lol  Our nightlife spots were SET on Sat night because our agency always had a table upstairs and we would go to MOKAI on Thurs. Oh yea my bike was stolen while in Miami but at least the thief was nice enough to leave the lock.

SHOOTING IN NYC


Current projects in New York include shooting for DNR's underwear issue which is only using models from RED NYC so I feel fortunate to be one of the five guys to represent RED in the issue.

 

Lee KholafaiI´m also shooting for a calendar where I´ll be wearing Italian suits so I´m looking forward to that because modeling clothes and making them look good is what the business is all about.

 

DIVERSE PORTFOLIO

 

My portfolio is pretty diverse right now because I have a lot of nice tears with me wearing nice suits and clothing but I also have my body shots as well so its pretty even.


NEXT US PRESIDENT


I´m independent so I pretty much just want the person who is most qualified to be President to be elected. I´m really worried about our economy and housing market right now so I definitely want the new President to have a good game plan to pull us out of this recession and keep it from happening again. Also no more war!!!!!
