I did this shoot a while back (a month and a half ago, to be exact) but misplaced the compact flash card so I wasn’t able to post these pics sooner. Luckily, when I was doing a general cleaning of my room, I found the storage device. So, without further ado, I bring you Dart Kamboozia.

He doesn’t actually belong to any Middle-Eastern royal family, but Dart Kamboozia’s real name is Amir which is Arabic for “Prince”. He is a half-Filipino, half-Iranian model who hails from Santiago City, Isabela. This 21-year old bronze-skinned hunk was a nursing student when modeling beckoned. He was already in his third year at Our Lady of Fatima University - Quezon City (Hilltop) when he thought of putting his studies on hold and venturing into the glamorous world of modeling.

While still in school, he was also a cager and a member of the Caltex corporate basketball team. In one game, he suffered a major injury which caused him to abandon playing hardball professionally. He then decided to follow the footsteps of former bball players Bruce Quebral and Derek Ramsey who also suffered the same fate. And as they say, basketball’s loss is modeling’s gain as Dart discovered that he could put his height and looks into good use. Thus, he made a big leap from the hard court into the fashion ramps.

I was recently informed that he made it through the final cut of Bodyshots 2008. He was one of the final 19 men who were able to grab coveted slots in the modeling competition. The other 18 are: Bjorn Aguilar, Raf Almeda, Jonas Cabuay, Arman Cataga, Harvey Cruz, Robert de Claro, Nico Deyro, Eric Eleazar, Marvin Miranda, Harold Oide, Chris Ong-Hay, Adrian Racho, Jobo Roa, Sassan Shokouhi, Piko Suzuki, Charlston Yam, Ian Leonel Porlayagan and Mario Zamboni.

The finals night of Bodyshots 2008 will be held on June 13, 2008 at the Megaworld Tent (formerly NBC Tent), The Fort Global City, Taguig.
