VS Holiday Campaign

01

This photo was taken during the Victoria’s Secret Holiday commercial. Michael Bay directed the commercials and it was an incredible experience shooting with him. In this photo, I was setting up to do my shot on the pool table. I’m obviously cheating by climbing up on the table ;)
If you try this at home – wear knee pads. My knees were pretty scrapped up after this shot.

This photo is from the Van Nuys airport. Michael wanted to do a shot where I was roasting hotdogs until they were black and on fire. It was fun working with the pyro team and they made sure the hotdogs were flaming. I had to be careful since I didn’t have protection of any kind, only wearing bra and undies.

I did another shot where I throw knives. Michael taught me how to toss the knife and flip it over and over in one hand. I had to be careful to catch the handle and not the blade when I was flipping it in my hand. The knife was really heavy and big and I thought there was no way I would be able to pull that off, but somehow I did. Then I had to do it without looking at my hand and look straight into the camera! At the end of the day, I had beat up knees and a huge bruise on my hand from the weight of the knife hitting my hand over and over. I love my job…..

XOXO

    Marisa, another Angel once said: “See. It’s not all glitz and glamour. There’s a little bit of pain inflicted.” It’s like surfing — it can give immense pleasure and, at times, pain. But, in both cases, it’s worth all the effort.

    Tell me there are explosions. I would be greatly disappointed if Michael Bay directed something with massive explosions. Looks like it was a good time!
