SOMW: Who are your favorite (fashion/model) client to work with?Michael: The cases for Miss Universe 2008 and 2009 are my favorites, as there are interesting issues of acclaim and differentiating between the artistic and the business facets of the cases.
SOMW: Is it dangerous to work with a tourist visa?
Michael: If by dangerous you mean illegal, the answer is resounding YES, SI, OUI, DA, JA, HAI and SIM.
