Getting to know you


[Singing] Getting to know you, 
Getting to know all about you. 
Getting to like you, 
Getting to hope you like me.

As much as we like doing, let’s not sing any more because we are not very good it. What shall we do Stuart inquisitively asks because he’s never short of a question or two or ten? Let’s find out more about YOU we say. He’s our posh speaking, debonair, stately home owning (albeit a few years off), country gent model booker with just some blue blood short of being royalty. With his false identity under the alias surname Alexander, who actually are you? Boss Questioning Mushroom Master, over to you…

Names that go by? Stu, Stu-pot, Stueeeeeey and many more that Michelle calls me than cannot be repeated for Christmas!

What did you want to be when you were younger? A number of things. I think I wanted to be either a farmer, vet, train driver, photographer, artist and to work on a cruise ship.

How did you get to where you are now? Working as a part time show producer booking models from Boss, wanted a new job and the lovely Lauren Mellor sent me a link for a Junior Booker vacancy at Boss in 2008, and the rest as they say is history….

If we could teleport you right now, this second, where would it be to and whom would you like to take? I am a country boy at heart and a farmer’s son, but I would be back in Central Park, NYC in a flash and I would take my boyfriend and if I could take my cat as well I would!  

When are you at your most happiest? When with the people who mean the most to me.

Which actor would you like to play you in the movie of your life? Used to be Jude Law (when younger) but now I think it would be Douglas Booth.

A mantra that you live by? You cannot live in the past nor guess the future.

What are your thoughts on the extraterrestrial? Real, I hope it’s not just us floating in a mass expanse of nothingness… there must be something else out there.

You’re on death row and your time is up tomorrow, what food and drink would you like to order? Fish & Chips from the BEST chippy in my home county of Cornwall http://www.rolandshappyplaice.co.uk  oh and a bread roll, curry sauce and a full fat coke!

Favorite item of clothing? I don’t have one, but I remember as a student when working in GAP, I had a French navy merino wool jumper, it was the best, never been seen since L

A memorable fashion faux pas? Again as a student, I bought a hideous camel cord duffle coat from French Connection with cream buttons and a faux fur collar/hood and lining, it was hideous and £250! (student loan money) but I never remember where or when I lost it.

Where do you see yourself in ten years time? Let’s see where the next 9 take me…

Best thing about working at Boss Model Management? The ever changing job which keeps you on your toes, the excitement of scouting and developing a special model and the friends that you make with your fellow colleagues, though we would kill each other sometimes…. (we'd kill you first)

Ritratti










Guys, you’ve still got time to take note…
There is nothing more luscious than receiving a Christmas box of beautiful silk lingerie. For inspiration of what we like (note a female has written this post) see here the striking Georgina Toms for Ritratti Milano. Unfortunately though, we can’t promise that we’ll look this good but we do promise to wear it with sheer delight.

The World's Greatest Catwalk



Record breaking Danny Jacobs featured in The World's Greatest Catwalk 2012 yesterday at the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade in Hong Kong. The show broke the Guinness World Record of the world's longest catwalk with more than 340 models walking a 3km long catwalk. Now that's one long way to keep the models looking lovely and fit!

BrrrrrRRRRRrrrrr

Feeling the cold? We are too, so we love nothing more than ogling our international girls and guys pictures of them doing their t'ing in some of the world's toastier climates. Boss trailblazer Katie Miller is taking the Far East by storm, as seen here last week in Thailand at the temple where the sleeping Buddha is... This week sees Katie embarking on her new modelling venture in Manila, so we'll be sure to post another lovely warm picture, thus sharing the warmth.
Ohhhh good Old Blighty and how we love your freezing cold embrace... More so though around the ice cubes chilling our Champagne!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

Is everyone starting to feel a little Christmas-y? Five chocolates down on the advent calendar and 20 days to go until the big fella arrives, the jolly feeling of magical merry-ness and sparkle should be in full swing. If you're not quite feeling there yet, then this 'Fabulously British Christmas' video for Jack Wills featuring Felix should certainly make you tingle with some of that festive excitement.

Flannels Fashion











Last Thursday saw the Flannels Creates charity auction in support of The Christie. The event was exclusively adorned with 40 Boss models, helping to raise lots of money for this great cause, very close to our hearts and in loving memory of Chrissie Holt and Vicky Jackson.
