April 17, 201312 yr Link to the article. Translated by Google: Alba Galocha (Santiago de Compostela, 1990) takes exactly 66 minutes to see the 73 paintings in the exhibition of Edward Hopper, present in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum until February 16, ie about 54 seconds devoted attention to every one. Voyeur 54 seconds where their exemplary chin resting on his right hand drawing exemplary harmonic gesture is a small work of art in itself. I know because I'm there with her. I'm the bearded writer taking notes about that moment in your moleskine, only prosaic element in a scene in which art art faces leading to a contemporary set of mirrors. And for this table is given in the last week of August, the newly named Best Model of the Madrid Fashion Week (this would come a few days later) and who writes these lines cross a series of emails the previous hours: "Dawn, I get an interview in which explain to the audience what it is like coffee with a model.'s To stop them and that the long teeth. Know, things they can not do and we at GQ, yes. All from a point of view very left and petulant ". "Ok," he says. "And if we make the expo Hopper?, Would you like?". "Ok, perfect, I have not seen and I really wanted". So, 12 hours later we met at the gates of the headquarters of Condé Nast, located in the Paseo de la Castellana (if rondáis the door, maybe you still can suck carbon dioxide expired and smell your way to the museum trail ) which guarece me daily and she did not at all is unknown, as is also the headquarters of Vogue magazine which has landed on several occasions and which edition is the author of the blog Tea Time. Through a tweet MD tells me it is already below one minute ahead of schedule, dismantling the myth of alien diva at times that could be targeted in this paragraph. So my recorder, its elaborate and lush ponytail, simple white dress, sneakers and green backpack, she and I, we walked all the expo. Prefer to walk the 500 meters that separate us from our destiny and start shopping around water at a kiosk. By the way it manages the shopkeeper unconscious detected that beauty is much more powerful than it needs argued at all times. The shopkeeper also note and swear that I find a gesture towards him smell her hair. After the transaction stares at her for a while as we left and hating too. GQ: I wanted to talk to me for the holidays, Alba. How are the holidays someone like you. AG: Well, the truth is that these days I'll be on vacation in Madrid and then go another bit to Santiago. After almost all of August there needed a few days off. GQ: What are you going to do? A.G: I will dedicate especially 'Mad Men'. I started it in December in Galicia because my dad has all seasons. I sat on the couch and got to swallow as five chapters, but when I returned to Madrid, and I bought or tried to see or anything because I was with 'Six Feet Under', but when I ran it, the I resumed. I struggled and had to do six or seven chapters to reengancharme, but it is also true that I really like the aesthetic has, so that makes everything easier. Everything is perfect, everything nice. GQ: Then maybe you strongly disagree with the article published yesterday demystified. The thesis is that you look both on the packaging that often he assumes a certain importance to phrases that are uttered just gravity. A.G: I know what you mean. To me what fascinates me is the aesthetics ... It is true that sometimes leaves a back seat to everything else. GQ: Not that I mind a priori unbearably slow pace: 'The Wire' is one of my favorite series. A.G: Is that 'The Wire' is 'The Wire'! - He laughs. I could be happy and it has given me some reason and has laughed, but then I think (when we have not yet entered Hopper) that the expo was a pretext and that all he wanted was to have my epitaph Alba had Galocha laugh. So I continue: GQ: What I would like to know is what is your plan for the day, the routine of a model. A.G: Depends on the day. My weeks are very rare and has nothing to do with one another. When I'm in Madrid I try to go to the gym in the morning and from 10 and I get to see things on the computer, to update the blog ... I suddenly remember that I want to read an article I saw on Twitter or website I spoke the other day and I spend an hour browsing before returning it to my post. On the other hand, if I go away for three days or I'm in Madrid, but working, is very different. Instead of morning do all that afternoon, and if I'm tired, I do not. GQ: How much do you have to go to the gym to be like you? AG: I try to go three times a week, but is somewhat flexible: one, at least, two, if something prevents me, and three, if all goes well. On weekends, I try not to go, but if there is any week I've been out playing, but I have neither as obligatory. I do it mostly because I feel good. GQ: Are you calling the gym at the hotel? A.G: The Travels of work I do is express. When I go to Sweden (at least once a month takes pictures in a town called Borås) could do it, but the sessions are so tired ... After eight hours, "Put this on, wear that", you come home, I take a nap until 10 and then as you get into bed until the next day. If I go on vacation or something, I get the running shoes. It costs a lot, but you try. GQ: But it's the same rhythm of the street that the tape ... A.G: Not at all. I go around and I see that I'm distracted or tired and I feel a bit. I do not take it as seriously as if you were in the gym, I'm with the machine and I can point and do not distract me. I like to be more in the gym to run around. GQ: How many planes you take a month? AG: In June I made an average of 1.9 aircraft per day for 20 days: it's crazy, but I love it. Before I did not, but now I have a box full of boarding passes. We entered and is now she who starts to talk without question through: AG: My brother Denis, who studied Fine Arts and is quite hippie, is the most wonderful person to go to museums with him. Tells you everything and you understand perfectly, so somehow I hit the bug. Moreover, among all the paint, Hopper is one of my favorites, I relate a lot with photography for its play of light and shadow ... GQ: And you, have you ever tried to paint through family influence? A.G: Yes, but does not work. In my first year in FDI (where he studied pattern making and tailoring) had to present a project between several and my part was the graphics, so I made a symbolic drawings from children. Safaba always so. GQ: "Safaba"? A.G: Yes, "I fought." That expression is common in Galicia. GQ: Okay, sorry. Follow ... AG: Well, as I was telling, in the draft to thesis proposed a Borsalino makeover from ready-to-wear and made woman linear ... GQ: And safaste? A.G: AND SAFE. All this tells me while watching carefully 'Hotel by the Railroad "(1952),' Two Puritans' (1945), 'Hotel Room' (1931) and 'The Martha Mckeen of Wellfleet' (1944). Since coming to the output we see a physical recreation 'Morning Sun' (1952) prepared to be photographed and uploaded to Twitter by visitors who dare to guess what that woman is thinking laconic (as laconic, was sad and lonely, and all Hopper). Alba, very fond of Instagram (and very soon), pull out your smartphone and portrays (although not participate in the contest because those things are not going, he explains). And we're out, as I said, 66 minutes later. I tell you if I accept a coke on the terrace of the Fine Arts. And I accept it. "A Coke," he tells the waiter. GQ: Normal? - I miss. A.G: I hate the Light. It's too sweet. Zero prefer the Light and the normal to the Zero. GQ: Besides, your agents do not impose severe dieting because you have a privileged metabolism as Heidi Klum or any other model to which any journalist has interviewed any time ... - I say with envy. AG: (laughs) The first week I was in Galicia this month wanted to Madrid to detox as much food. Depending on what you wanted to eat, we went to one place or another. Merengue, pastry cream, octopus ... and I did nothing but eat. No notice me, but I did not notice. GQ: And you have no bad conscience suffers thinking about what other people like, I dunno ... I? AG: Not as much as I'd like because I know I would set bad, not prevent weight gain GQ: But the agency does not tell you anything? AG: In Galicia like a lot, but in Madrid'm very fast food why not lose much time in cooking. I am very melon salad and ham all the time, and not losing weight or gain weight too. Also, in my case, what matters more than the weight is as you see the figure. GQ: But you have abdominal tablet, I've seen you on Facebook ... A.G: It seems aesthetically beautiful. GQ: And does not conflict with pastries or meringues? Instead of doing crunches 1,200 1,000 already, right? AG: Nor is it because the gym I do the same, I eat a salad or carbonara. Obviously not toast breakfast, like pasta and I eat dinner a stew. I try to spread it a little: slight frown and go. GQ: Let me turn to your tattoos. Am I the figure? AG: (He points to the inside of the right wrist) This is the logo of the blog, I made my brother Artur. (Now, inside the left arm) This is "dawn" in English, which is the meaning of Alba. (Now it points to the other wrist) This is in Chinese, and also means "dawn" ... maybe (laughs). It's the first thing I did. (An ankle) Here, the frog Jeremiah (in honor of Daniel Johnston), I've made it this summer, (same leg) the elephant of 'The Little Prince', which my mother gave me every time I found a new edition, (another ankle), it says (in Galician) "Do not let the monsters around you get caught and you change" with the exact letter of my brother Arthur, and the dedication he wrote when I gave 'Glamourama' by Bret Easton Ellis. (Now the queue moves and the height of the ridges shows a star) Here, a star that makes no sense. (He says now the waist) This was a terrifying Chinese character that I did the day I finished the selectivity, but this summer I've covered with the upside down triangle, which is the brand that put prostitutes, lesbians and other specimens in the concentration camps ... And I think now. You see, not attract much attention and if you have to cover them, it's easy. GQ: In a job where you have to be a little exhibitionist in order to highlight, tattooed multiply that exhibitionism, is not it? AG: Tattoos are not for attention, but because I like them. In fact, if I did not work with my body would probably have many more. What I do is ever consulting him my bookers, who often seems fine. I would say more: the tattoos sometimes have that point used to recognize you. GQ: You repeat with a tattoo? A.G: Paul Ash, Stigma, in Malasaña. Last year I made the elephant and this summer, the last three. Those who know him say how I left things as small tattoo which case it prompted my mother's face. GQ: At what point did you know you wanted to be a model? AG: From small models always attracted me, and when I was eight, it was the first time I saw Kate Moss in a magazine, I became interested in fashion. Four years later, I stood in the street, and even then I did not pay much attention, at 16 I did a very shortie haircut that happened to my mother that I could serve ficharan. GQ: Is there glamor?, Is there Möet? AG: You always hear stories: that arrived at 10 am and ordered champagne or things like that, but it's not normal. When work offer me a coffee, but no champagne. GQ: And when did you start to think you played already in the big leagues? AG: Things are coming and you hardly even notice, but this holiday I stopped a moment to think and told me what I was doing was more than I had expected. And I realized I was wrong. It's Google, so don't expect tons of accuracy.
