TV Show in the works

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Wow, so much can happen in so little time! Everything is still kind of on the hush hush but we filmed our first TV episode of us driving the Nom Nom Truck today. So fun! I was really scared to drive the truck, but I actually think I did ok. I didn’t run over anyone which is a plus! :P So many more fun times to come.

I also auditioned for a TV show today, it was for the role of a 15 year old for a Disney show, I don’t really think I look that young, it was basically me and a bunch of 12 year olds and their moms at the casting haha. Oh well, it was an interesting experience . . .

Posh-Pants.com is now live!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Yaaaaay! After much hard work I have finally succeeded in launching Posh-Pants.com! I had a shoot last week with Dawn DiCarlo for Posh Pants and the photos from the shoot are now up on the site. I am really happy with how the black sequin shorts look, and I think they will prove to be a hit! :) Here are some shots from the shoot and of both sequin shorts:

Lucky Day!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Do you ever have those days when you feel like everything is going your way? Today was exactly like that for me, in all different aspects of my life. I definitely had some kind of good luck charm with me today! Not only did I negotiate with my tenant to lower our rent by 10%, but David and I also found our truck for Nom Nom!! We’re going to work with Road Stoves, and they really are food truck heaven! They have supplies right on site, and many of the other food trucks we highly admire– Kogi, Green Truck, and Barbie’s BBQ, all work with them. Morris, the head of the truck company, was so welcoming, and we almost look up to him as the godfather of all the food trucks!

On the modeling side, I found out I am currently on hold for a huuuuuge job in August, which is great, since modeling has been pretty low key so far this summer.

Let’s hope this good luck continues!! *crossing fingers*

Photoshoot for Modern Salon Magazine

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

I did this shoot for Modern Salon Magazine back in June, and I really love how it turned out. They spray painted clown wigs, and turned them into stunning accessories that set the mood for the issue’s “International” theme. When everyone on the shoot– photographer, stylists, and make up artists– is amazing on a shoot, the photos are bound to turn out well! :)

Visiting the Playboy Zoo

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I was lucky enough to get the visit the Playboy Mansion last week, along with the behind the scenes of the Playboy zoo! Although I’ve been to the Playboy Mansion several times for night parties, it is a completely different place by day! My friend is the zoo keeper for the Playboy Zoo (yes they are actually a registered zoo!) so we got a personal tour :)

Long time no write-updates . . .

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

I am so sorry that I haven’t written in so long. Here is what has happened in the last couple months since I’ve written.

Modeling:

Modeling has been suppppaaaa busy until now. Since it’s summer now, things have been a little more chill (good for me since I have soo much other work to do!) In June I got my biggest hair campaign yet, the Asia campaign for KMS California. Not only did I get a brand new spankin’ hairdo’ but I had an amazing time at the shoot, one of the most fun shoots yet! Here was the sched:

Day 1: They took a video of my haircut (It took over 3 hours to cut my hair!) and then a quick shoot and video shoot of me struttin’ ma stuff in ma new do’. I also met with the stylist to style the clothes to go with my new haircut. Sad to say I do not have photos of this day, but the video of it should be out soon on the KMS site!

Day 2: Shot at this GORGEOUS mansion up in the Malibu Hills. They also had a DJ on set for the 9 hour shoot all day, to set the mood! The theme of the shoot was “Checking In” wherein all of the models were checking in to a posh/stylish hotel in LA. Although the mansion was not a hotel, it sure did look like one! Here is a photo of the pool area, along with the DJ in the background (shot on my blackberry so sorry about the crappy quality!):

Although I luuuuv my haircut, it has taken a while to get used to. I’m also growing out my bangs, they’re just too difficult to deal with (I don’t have time to blowdry it everyday), and I don’t think I’m going to get as many clients with this do’ (castings have already been slower this month :-/) Here’s some polaroids my agency took of me to post with my port:

As for other modelin’ stufff, apparently my sketchers campaign is on a HUGE billboard in HK, and my friend just took this snapshot of me on the side of a NYC bus! I totally forgot about this shot:

Miss Misa:

-Tons of new items out! I think I am most excited about the Je T’aime Earring Trio, they are so detailed, and I think I’ll be wearing them a lot because they aren’t too bold. I decided to make them not only because they go great with the Je T’aime collection, but also I couldn’t find any cute daisy earring studs online! Cute and detailed daisy jewelry is hard to come by :) I also LOVE the daisy bracelet, that will be a keeper too . . .

-In addition to designing 10 more items for the Miss Misa Collection (it’s so much more work than you would think!), I am in the process of redesigning the website myself. Ever since I began Miss Misa, I have outsourced the web design and coding for the site. Although I thought this was the most efficient way to do things, it proves I was wrong :( It turns out that Miss Misa has many errors in the Internet Explorer Browser, so I’m going back to basics, and redesigning the entire infrastructure of the site myself. Wish me luck, soooo much to learn!

Posh Pants:

In addition to just the jewelry world, I have been craaaving to start a clothing line. I knew I wanted it to be a different style/theme than Miss Misa, so I have started a brand new clothing company altogether. A couple months ago I was looking for sequin high waisted shorts online (I LOVE high waisted shorts) and there were so few available! The only pair available was waaaay out of my price range, and ones selling on eBay only came on the market once every couple months. As a result, I just decided to start my own affordable clothing company, focused on stylish nightlife apparel for women. Here is what the our first piece of the collection will look like:
