NYC Model Network Casting Call

Smart Curves (by the end of the night)

The NYC Model Network Casting Call hosted by Joy Ashley at Chelsea Studios was an amazing event. Joy and her team did a wonderful job in coordinating the flow of the hundreds of models that showed up. I absolutely enjoyed the Casting Etiquette seminar by Catherine Schuller. She was informative and entertaining. To be honest, her seminar helped me get rid of the butterflies that occupied my stomach. The Model & Talent Q&A Panel was jammed packed with talent and beauty. Some of the panelists were, Christina Mendez, Jeannie Ferguson, Samantha Lebbie, Nina Taylor, Nikki Gomez, Asia Mone’t, and Liris Crosse. The only word I can use to describe the information provided by the panelists is enlightening.

Chanell Jones, Tykesha Reed & Smart Curves

I was in awe of the number of models that showed up for the casting call.  I met beautiful women from Texas, Virginia, Ohio, New York, Illinois, Maryland, and Massachusetts. I met Autumn Perez from Brooklyn New York. She is a knock out Model, Make-up Artist, and Hair Stylist. I also met Chanell Jones and Tykesha Reed, Co-Creators of Curves Rock Fashion Weekend in Baltimore Maryland. Portice Lamb from NFINITE FORM, Shanda Freeman, Jovanna Reyes, and many more wonderful people I was able to connect and network. I was able to reconnect with fabulous women that I have met at past runway shows.

My Journey

FIJI SWEETHEART STRAPLESS RUCHED SWIMSUIT  MONIF C

Retro Bikini Empress Lingerie

The bathing suits above are two of my favorites. I want to have both of them on the cruise with me in August (Curves Fashion Week at Sea 2013). The only way this will happen is if I can get down to a size 16 or even size 18.  This is going to be a challenge; one that will affect my health and wellness in a positive way. Nevertheless, the reward will be so sweet and sexy.

My journey begins with my 10-day juice fast. I will be consuming nothing but fresh fruit and vegetable juice that I prepare every day. I am doing this to help jump start my body and help me get in the mindset of eating healthier. I am so lucky and excited that my husband will be juicing with me. If the next 10 days are successful, I will continue for another 20 days. My reward for successfully completing my 10-day juice fast will be Guilty Pleasures by Qristyl Frazier Designs. When I complete the additional 20 days my reward will be the Ruffle Romper by Empress Lingerie. I cannot wait to get started or finish so I can show off my rewards.
