The Language of
Paulo...
Random! So off we start... how did it feel getting wet while wearing that suit? “Felt really nice, it was actually still summer in Cape Town by the time and it was 32 degrees Celsius, and after being shooting the whole day outside, I loved the idea of the wet shoot. It was one of the best shoots I’ve ever done and represented a great experience.” Says Paulo Perestrelo, who’s a full time model, posing for pictures and walking on the ramps are the things that he loves the most. “My hobbies are to go to the beach every time I can, go clubbing, camping, water sports and gym.” Says the 24 year old father! Yes, Father! Paulo was born in small island Lobito situated in the south of the Republic of Angola where he lives with his daughter of 6 months as he calls her “my precious thing”, “sometimes it hurts a lot to be far away from her, because she lives in Angola and my profession makes me travel and be apart for some time.” What about heart-breaking movies you say? A tissue grabber? No need, he’s a tough cookie. “I hope one day we can stop the wars and focus more on deadly diseases. We need more love and less killing” I guess we’re not the only ones who lie on grass and wish on falling stars. However, this isn’t the typical expressionless model strutting across the runway; this guy is more of a mime-to love kind of guy “I don’t follow the rules in fashion shows and I push from the crowd, especially when any of my relatives are there, I send them kisses. I’m a happy person, what can I do?” says Paul. Just wave back to the cutie!
So what is random about Paulo? Does he have a tail? Does he speak in riddles? Or does he pour milk inside a cereal carton and spoon flakes up? Well, this wet-suited male something shares the dance floor with the gays and spin the bottle on guy fling-kissing, where he enjoys having fun and being silly, “I’ve kissed one gay guy before, just for the fun of trying new things. Felt weird at the beginning but after few drinks I didn’t really care anymore. Today he is one of my best friends and we just laugh of the situation. I love to hang out with him and his gay friends as well. Also gay clubs are the best ever, great music, great dancers and a room filled with lots of fun people.” Says the silly hunk! The guy knows how to party and whom with, but does he speak ‘bitch’? Dying for an answer, another Q to go, if you want to throw your drink at someone, who that person would be? “Hum, tricky question, Lindsay Lohan, please babe show us more work and less drama!” the guy can slap back, sassy! Well, what can you tell about a guy who his favorite fashion item is shirts, especially if they’re tight, or hate cats because they’re selfish, or the his definition of sexy is being wet?... Can I buy you a drink? (go down to continue)

So it’s 2010, what’s Paulo’s New Year’s resolution: “Well, I consider myself a visionary, and may this year be the best ever, as it started just great already. I’m going to be traveling more than I expected and want to gain a lot of experience, meet new people, make new friends, and who knows maybe meet the woman of my life.” Wait! Woman? We thought…. Oh no, not again!
