4:50 PM I'm on the living room couch with my little sister and Selena. Steve is not here, he is still in the theater for a new play that will be in his own words; "The new one, Gone with the Wind." We have just received an email, once again, I look for a hiding place, at least I will like. The draft of the page of the interview I did for Vogue is here. Frankly, they were much nicer to me than the movie magazine that asked me technical questions that I did not understand. Selena has just printed them and begins to read it to us while I hide my face. This interview will be pblie in many countries and thinking about it, I want to smile but I find it very embarrassing too.

.

A youg New York girl in Paris.

Sometime ago, Vogue was the first fashion magazine to spot a young diamond diamond named Lisa Hanckok and to post a few pictures of her (see below). Sixteen-year-old model living in New York in, we immediately fell in love with this beautiful young natural girl who does not take herself seriously. Continuing rapidly, the agency Wilhelmina Models, one of the five largest model agency in the world contacted her deciding to take her under his wing. In less than a year, she posed for other major international magazines, worked with many young designers who do not lack talent and Isabel Marant was not long in solicit her by starting to work with her. Lisa has also been offered a role in a movie under the direction the brilliant director Bill Plympton who wishes to rework with her in the future, just like her playing partner Sean Penn who says of her; "Her natural talent has no limit." A few days ago, Isabel Marant judged that Lisa was fit to become one of his mannequin and made him sign an two-year contract. Lisa will join Isabelle Marante's band on July 20th of this year and for that she will fly to Paris, where she will now live while pursuing her High School. Today, I was lucky to have near me this girl who is sometimes quite mature, very fun and very nice in my office for an interview, of which here are an excerpt.

Janice "Hi Lisa, not too stressed to be in front of a reporter for an interview?"

Lisa "Stressed no, I'm terrified."

Janice "Do not, my questions will not be nasty. I promise you Lisa. Tell me, everything went very fast for you this year. Are not you a little lost?"

Lisa "I admit that everyone has chained very quickly on both the private and professional level but it's ok, I do not drown. Everything is positive so I can only smile. "

Janice "What do you feel while you're only sixteen and you're already a professional model?"

Lisa "Um, if you mean big head or that sort of thing, it's not my style. I like what I do and I going to try to do my best at every photo shoot and continuing to have fun me. I have little experience with podiums but my answer will be the same. I do not consider myself a professional because I still have everything to learn. Although my agency Wilhelmina Models has taught me all the basics as long as I lack experience, I will not consider myself a true professional model."

Janice "I think a lot of people are asking is this. You are very young, so are not you afraid to go alone to a foreign country?"

Lisa "No, I will say that I have a little apprehension about the language. What bothers me the most is to leave my family here. Especially leaving without my little sister is very hard but I must also grow as she and she encourages me to to follow this path."

Janice "Will your classes at school be geared to your career because I guess it will be difficult to reconcile the two."

Lisa "Yes, I'll be pretty free in this school as long as it's a work issue. In the same way, my work of Mannequin will be arranged according to my age and my schooling because legally one can only make me work a certain number of hours and to cumulate them with the hours of school does not seem authorized. I do not know much about it. But my agent take care of these complicated technical details."

Janice "You touch on something I wanted to raise. You will not be able to live alone in Paris and an agency like Wilhelmina Models would never allow a foreign person to accompany you. So tell me, will your agent live with you? If so, is it a man or a woman? "

Lisa laughs. "Janice what a vicious question, but that's right. My agent accompanies me to Paris and will live with me and monitor me as he already does elsewhere. As for he or she, Humm... her name is Cindy. Do you honestly believe that Madam x, sorry Madam Lily Bauer will allow a man to manage the career of a girl of sixteen. "

I laugh (Lily Bauer is the deputy director of the New York agency Wilhelmina Models) "Madame x, do you call your agency deputy director like that?"

Lisa laughs to tears, I wait a little it calms down. "Excuse me, yes because it annoys him and it makes me laugh so it's perfect."

Janice "You are amazing Lisa. In any case, I wish you every success in Paris. "

Lisa makes me a pretty smile. "Thanks Janice, I'll try not to disappoint you."

To conclude, I had a lot of fun during the interview but also before and after while speaking with Lisa Hanckok, who is known to be generally a very shy girl but if you know how to put her at ease, she turns out to be a person full of good humor and particularly teasing. Parisians please, welcome pleasantly our little American girl who will be alone.

Emie constantly laughs while listening to Selena read. "Lisa, you've changed a lot and so much the better. I prefer you like that, so keep doing what you love and your smile will stay always so pretty."

Selena hugs me. "You are more smiling and less hard than before. A lot of profanity still comes out of your mouth but everything can not be perfect. Anyway I'm proud of you and I'm sure Lily will still scream. Fufufu"

I look at them and my heart squeezes. "It's going to be hard not to see Emie anymore, but you too, Selena, it's going to be hard not to see you anymore. Well, I'm going to my room because I'm becoming very emotional and I do not like it."

Selena kisses me on the forehead. "Okay, I know you still have a hard time showing your feelings and emotions. Cindy needs to come in just now to get me signed documents, you will coming with our or not?"

It's not right, my tears are flowing. I leave quickly and answer down the stairs. "No, I'm busy."

Emie looked at Selena. "You know, Selena, When we got older, to protect me against our father Lisa took all the blows. She wounded my mother and the police constantly came to ask him questions. Lisa was doing stupid things every day, never smiled, always fighting and screaming at me all the time. So, although seeing her leave breaks my heart, if she can smile and live normally without thinking only of me, then she must leave. Staying and constantly thinking about the past would only hurt her and she could not smile."

Selena took Emie in her arms. "You are absolutely right and one day I will say to you, why I absolutely wanted to take you with me but not now. Your sister will be able to forget part of this past, not everything but part of it and it will be a big step already."
