Boy 3 did a fun photo shoot at Olympic park last week and Flat Stanley came along for the ride....  So, I guess we have never seen a 'Korean' squirrel before, because this crazy little fellow reminded us of a mix between a squirrel and a kangaroo! He was bouncing all over the place. We had fun chasing him around trying to get a good picture of him.  Boy 3 really just wanted to play with the balloons.    I loved the scarecrows at the park....  It is so peaceful in the park, it amazes me that the city is so close, but you don't hear it while you are in the park.   Boy 3 Sightings 10/11/2009
This is so fun! There have been Boy 3 sightings all over town! I've heard from people that they have seen him on TV, click here to watch his commercial. People have called to tell me he has been seen on the side of busses, and he has been seen on big posters at many major bus stops all over town. I have personally seen him at 3. Fun, fun, fun I tell you! ;-)   Boy 3's Milk Commercial 09/29/2009
Working Boys 09/15/2009
So from what I hear, Boy 3's commercial is airing. I have yet to see it - AUGHHH!!! I've been trying to "Google" it, but no luck so far. When I find it I will post it for you guys. I have also heard he is at all the bus stops & at E-Mart. I really need to venture out this weekend and find him. Boy 2 worked for our favorite company Commencer again......he is so cute!!   Please Come to Seoul 08/20/2009
So, I couldn't let the kids get all the glory, I had to join in. On Sunday night I went for my first commercial! Here I am in the hair & make-up chair.  The commercial I was in is to promote tourism to Seoul. What a perfect fit for me - I LOVE Seoul! Now, this really wasn't that big of a deal, as I was one of about 20-25 people in this commercial. I'm sure if I even make the commercial it will be for only 1 or 2 seconds, but it was a fun experience - even though I was cast as the 'middle-age' woman. Damn - when did I hit middle age? I'm still 22 in my mind. So, wouldn't you know it, they dressed me in a frumpy outfit and put me beside a tall, eloquent, beautiful 20 something professional model from Canada. Come on now, am I supposed to be her MOTHER?!?!  I was picked up at my house at 8PM, at 11:30PM, they finally took us into the studio to begin shooting. Once in the studio, we it took an hour for them to get us situated, moving us constantly. At 12:30 they finally started filming. Filming took just under an hour. All we had to do was smile, laugh and look at the camera. Some people couldn't keep their eye on the camera, so we would have to start over......then someone would scratch their head and we would have to start over....then someone would yawn....this went on forever! Finally, we all got it right!   This was the final set up of the people. See the camera on the left side? When they said action we had to start smiling, laughing and just looking like we were having a good time, the camera would roll down the tracks, when it made it to the end of the tracks the shot was over - we could stop laughing.  The best part of this was that I met some fascinating people (well, and the money). See the guy in the green shirt on the left side of the screen? He is from Congo & he is a professional soccer player. The guy in the glasses in the blue shirt on the right is from India, he owns 8 Indian restaurants here in Seoul. I told you about the professional model from Canada, I also met a professional model from France. There was a famous Chinese, Korean actor, a few teachers from other countries, oh and a rapper - he looked like he was from NY, but I didn't get the scoop on him.  They had Girl come with me, as a 'just in case' they might need her. The didn't end up needing her, but they still paid her & she was very happy with that....she got to stay up till 2:30AM, drink soda, eat donuts, play DS and make funny faces at me during shooting! She was such a trooper!  The New Face of Denmark Milk 08/17/2009
 On Friday Boy 3 shot his first commercial! Yes, I said COMMERCIAL!! It is for Denmark Milk, as pictured above. The commercial will be aired here in Korea starting on September 7th, the day before his 4th birthday! They also told me his picture will be poster size in bus stations all over. How freaking cool is that?!?! A funny story about this shoot… Boy 3 DOES NOT like cow's milk. He likes soy milk. I let them know this in advance; they told me 'no problem'. When packing our bag to go on the shoot, I packed soy milk for my boy 'just in case', and it is a good thing I did. Boy 3 was right on. He shot the first half of the commercial perfectly without too many retakes. In the first half of the shoot he had to look happy and pick the glass of milk up. In the second half of the shoot he actually had to drink milk. Boy 3 was very thirsty, and he LOVES (soy) milk. (At this point I ask them if they would like to use the soy milk - I told them again that Boy 3 does not like milk. They told me no, they wanted to try with their product anyway because the soy milk is a little darker in color. I did my job and warned them.) When it came time for the second half everyone was very excited, it looked as if Boy 3 were going to nail it right away. His face was perfect, he picked the glass up just right, (his hands had to be positioned just right, smile on his face and look as if he loves the product). This was going to be too easy for him. He did it, he was totally nailing it, he was taking a HUGE drink, smiling the whole time, he sat the glass back where it was supposed to go, smiling for a brief moment until he realized it was not what he was expecting, he then got a disgusted look on his face, spewed the milk out his mouth across the table, started gagging and saying "YUCK, YUCK, YUCK" he then started wiping his tongue on his shirt gagging the whole time! All 30+ people that it takes to film a commercial died laughing. This was such a classic moment! They continued trying their products for a few more shots, Boy 3 gagging each time. In the end, they took my advice and gave him the soy milk. I hope to get a copy of the bloopers. Boy 3 hair & make-up.  After hair and make-up. Being a ham.  Getting ready to film. (This is only a few of the production team.)   Commencer Loves Boy 2 08/01/2009
And we love Commencer! Thanks to them Boy 2's college fund is growing by leaps and bounds. Since his first photo shoot with Commencer over a year ago when we first arrived here, boy 2 has been in their catalogues and on their walls every season since! Here are a few pictures from his latest shoot....    Here are a few pictures from one of the stores we found at the World Cup Stadium.   I just found the pictures on the website from the latest shoot....they are so cute! Check them out here. Home Plus 08/01/2009
This photo shoot cracked me up! Boy 3 was the only child at this photo shoot, but check out the room he shot in.....  I mean look...there are dresses hanging on that rack! I was a little nervous at first thinking they thought he was a girl again. I was happy when they dressed him in jeans and this Macy's t-shirt. Whee....  So, the cool thing about this photo shoot ~ I got a phone call a couple of days later and this is what I heard (through Konglish)... "need copy of passport, visa, blah, blah, blah...extra money...blah, blah, blah, big posters in E-Mart" ....Whoa, hold on....my kid is going to have big posters at E-Mart?!?! WHAT?!? Now for those of you back in the states, this would be like your kid having big posters in Wal-Mart or Target!!! This kid’s mug is going to be all over South Korea! Holy smokin' Joe!! That is if I understood everything correctly. We have already started the passport stuff, got some extra $$ and now I am just waiting to see that big picture of my boy. I can't wait to take his picture by it, and I don't even care if it is in the pink room! ;-) I will update you all when/if it happens!  Je Suis Content 05/13/2009
