MAXIM Next Covergirl

Hey y’all! I’ve been quite busy trying to balance everything I have to do. Anyway, I entered several contests to be voted in as the next Maxim Magazine Covergirl with feature photoshoots and cash prizes. I could use the cash to buy art supplies and create new fashion samples. All you have to do is hit the link and vote! All votes are doubled by 2 pm. Any support is greatly appreciated as I have financed all my projects myself, including this blog. So tell your friends, family and neighbors!

I started building a modeling portfolio a long time ago in college in Boston. Then I moved to New York and continued. Fashion, art and modeling have always been passions of mine and I would love for you to take part in my journey!

Vote here now.

Blast from the Past: Modeling History

Hey everyone, how have you been? I’ll be honest, I have really been going through it. Trying to deal with decisions that were made by men that may or may not have much to do with me. Also, dealing with the good ol American government and police. I know it sounds crazy but it’s the truth.

Anyway, I came across some old photos recently and thought I might share. I indeed studied International Relations at Tufts University and was also scouted for a modeling and acting career. I actually had applied to be a fashion buyer in New York but went into finance and kept trying to build my modeling portfolio. I did a lingerie show for Show Magazine at a New Year’s Eve party in Miami. And I also was a roller skate girl for one of Diddy’s albums in New York.

So, here I am now blogging about fashion and art, and thought I might throw it back. I believe there’s more and one of these days maybe a book or movie on my crazy life will come out. Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday: Lingerie Shoot 2006

Hey y’all! So it’s that time of the week, Throwback Thursday! I thought I might post a lingerie shoot I did back in 2006. I was scouted when I was about 12 years old in Texas but my mother didn’t want me to get involved in that. I was again scouted in as a teen and got into modeling. Unfortunately, I started working in finance and stopped pursuing a modeling career. I have been a visual artist since I was a child and modeling, photography, art and fashion really go hand in hand.

Anyway, maybe one of these days, I’ll tell you more about it in a book or something? Anyway, happy almost weekend!

Sincerely,

“Fashionably-Late”
