Being creative is what makes me successful as a designer but why does it have to stop with clothing. In my opinion the more versitile and well rounded ones skills are the more you can offer to your specific niche. I wasn't born 6 foot, long and lean but I did grow up knowing who I am as a person and what I have to offer! To me, modeling is meant to be fun, creative, and all about playing another character. Yes, it's not meant for everybody on a professional, money making level b/c of society physical standards but it doesn't mean we aren't capable of it. If you find yourself open to your emotions in a split second of the call and can portray angry one moment, another second you are sexy, another scared, fierce, innocent, and having a good time you have skills that models possess however it takes more than just a model to get the whole picture..Photography, modeling, makeup, design, they are all art so for once I stepped out of my boundries and decided why not try something new I know very little about. Vintage pinup is all about the hair, red lips, tiny crazy little outfits and beads so myself and a few of my sexiest models volunteered for a Vintage Pinup Shoot w/ Photographer Tracy Mendy at the Academy of Glam. This was a successful Multimedia workshop for the current students whom are taking this 9 week course to learn the fundamentals of the makeup application. Each student was given the task of creating the vintage pinup look which from the photos you can see was a great success! Everything was shot on site at the Academy of Glam and thanks to Tracy fabulous eye they got exactly what they were aiming for. If you ever had a dream of makeup...wanted to work behind the scenes for photoshoots, music videos, glamour awards, etc you will definitely want to check out more information on their upcoming classes!It's never too late to do what you want in life... Everyday we must continue to learn and trust me...learning is better when it's a topic you love!!!

My recent experience shooting for the first time with Michael Falco www.michaelfalco.com was my best experiece ever. I'm very inexperienced when it comes to being the main subject being captured on camera and am definetely not a model but being part of my website was something I personally wanted to share with my peers. I'm not 5'10", I'm not 110 pounds...I'm actually much much more athletic than that and very curvy but I wanted to show you that my suits work for a large variety of body types. It's funny b/c Falco himself new he could make the real Jess Becker, Designer of Ravish Sands pop on film and he was right. Besides being extremely comfortable with Falco my suits made me stand proud, confident, and sexy...It's amazing how a good, sexy cut, unique bikini reinforces confidence and glam. I'd recommend my suits personally b/c I know exactly how I feel in them. The best part of my job has always been the reactions of all the women I have put in my suits. I'm always looking for new, fun, vibrant, unique fabrics that will give you an original suit unlike all the brands out there which sell by the thousands/millions.I'm not about the buck and as a designer take pride in offering you something unique, something different, something limited b/c all women are special, all women are unique, all women are beautiful which is why you deserve the best in your swimsuit

This is purely my version of the twilight stories next step.

I do not own the twilight name or any characters within the story.

I have nearly 400 pages of the story written but will try and release one chapter of the manuscript each week.

I am not a professional writer nor am I making ANY money for this.

I am just writing about a dream that I had

WE ARE WAITING TILL ALL SITE UPGRADES ARE COMPLETE BEFORE POSTING MORE. SORRY BUT PLEASE STAY TUNED






Twilight: Awakening





It’s now only a month away from my 7th birthday and I have noticed a lot of changes within myself over the last year.

Mother and father have pointed out that my growing has slowed greatly to the point it’s almost seems that I have stopped growing completely.

Nahuel says that is to be expected around my 7th year.

Naheul makes his way to forks often since the Volturi forced his father into hiding leaving his three sisters alone.

Father and the rest of the family seem to be very fond of Nahuel.

While father and Jacob get along it just seems that father shows a preference towards Nahuel when they are both around.

I think it is partly because Nahuel is half vampire and father can relate to him more than Jacob.

Sometimes I feel that father is trying to push me towards Nahuel because of that fact.

He always jokingly brings up that sooner or later all wolves grow old and for me not to get too attached to Jacob.

I know he says things like that for my own good because he doesn’t want me to get hurt.

But im not a little child and I can make decisions for myself.

Nahuel has been there for my family ever since he spoke up for me to the Volturi.

Without him we may have had to fight the Volturi and possibly had great losses to our family.

But more importantly he fills this void within me.

The simple fact of having someone around that truly understands what I am going through has made all the difference.

Mother, father and the rest of the family are not like me

so they have never experienced the changes that I have gone through in the last 7 years.

My body seems to always be changing along with my senses.

While my family all still look at me like I’m a child Nahuel is the only one that looks at me differently.

He makes me feel like I am not just a 7 year old in a 17 year old woman’s body.

He has always treated me like more even when I was young.

Every time he comes around I always catch him glancing at me from the corner of his eye

while talking to father or finding excuses to come talk to me.

It makes me feel special when he tells me how beautiful I am.

When he tells how special I am to him.

He has always been there for me when I needed him.

When I was younger he used to talk about us traveling the world together when I have my 7th birthday.

“Just you and me Nessie, we can travel the world together” He would say.

I would find myself wrapped up in his every word as he described the mountains and rivers of Spain.

“The Pyrenees Mountains in Spain are breathtaking” he would say.

“In the winter as the sun rises and reflects off the snow and clouds it creates an ocean of blues and purples for as far as the eye can see.

In the evenings as the sun sets on the mountains it looks like the whole world is bathed in pinks, purple

and sometimes just before the sun falls away over the horizon the earth is covered in this orange color the likes you have never seen.”

The adventures we will have together after your birthday”.

Those are always his last words before leaving

“Nahuel will be here soon” Aunt Alice says as she walks in the kitchen.”

I reminded Jacob that we were expecting company tonight. So there shouldn’t be any issues with him getting safe passage” Grandfather responded.

I am looking forward to seeing him,

it has been nearly a year since his last visit and I am looking forward to showing him how much I have matured.

Mother is never excited about his visits because she thinks he has a hidden agenda.

“Nahuel is coming?” Mother ask.

“I don’t like the way he looks at you Nessie, I don’t care if you are the only hybrid that he is not related too.”

“Calm down Bella its better than her smelling like a wet dog all the time,

at least I can watch her when she is with Nahuel” Aunt Alice says with a sarcastic smile.

This isn’t the first time Mother has gotten mad over Nahuel.

The last time Nahuel was here mother tried to attack him out of nowhere.

He and I were just walking around the house talking about all of the wonders of the world.

The pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall of China and the Mountains of Spain.

I love to talk to him about these things because all I know is life with my family;

a Life where my family doesn’t understand me and treats me like a small child.

Luckily father and Uncle Jasper were able to restrain her till she calmed down.

“She is just a child”, she kept yelling at him.

Hopefully this time it will be different,

hopefully this time mother will try and understand that he is important to me.

“He’s here!” Alice shouts in excitement rushing to greet Nahuel before he reaches the door.

She rushes down the stairs and opens the door just before Nahuel reaches it

. Alice excitingly opens the front door and reaches out to welcome Nahuel.

But coming out of the darkness behind him two forms appeared.

Aunt Alice’s eyes became large and her body language became troubled as the forms became closer.

“Don’t worry Alice, it’s just Huilen and my Sister Vesta”, Nahuel quickly responded to comfort Aunt Alice.

“ It’s been a long time” Huilen responded.

“Everyone this is my half sister Vesta” Nahuel says .

Vesta is amazingly beautiful woman with long flowing black hair to the middle of her back.

Olive tanned skin and impossibly green eyes.

Her long eye lashes and her soft voice seem to almost hypnotize Uncle Jasper and the rest of the boys in the house.

She dresses like a woman I would see in the store windows back in town.

Her clothes are tightly fit and very revealing.

“Come in, come in” Grandfather says. “Bella and Edward are in the living room” Esme says.

Father says “Carlisle wait, Seth is outside”

Seth walked up to the door way wearing only tan khaki shorts.

“Do none of you own shirts” Aunt Alice responds.

“A blood sucker fed on a human just outside of forks and Jacob thinks it is following Nahuel”.

“I picked up its scent about a mile down the road and tracked it here. Is everything ok? Seth says excitingly.

“I’m sorry, I’m afraid that was me.

I am Vesta, Nahuel’s Half Sister.

Aren’t you just a tasty little man?

Huilen told me that you all were a very talented bunch but she forgot to mention how very cute you.” Vesta says.

Seth smiles and nervously says “Ma’am its perfectly OK,

not knowing your scent worried Jacob that Nessie may be in trouble.

He is on his way with the rest of the pack.” Seth says.

Placing her hand on Seth’s cheek Vesta says “Well as you can see honey you can report back to them that everything is fine and they are perfectly safe.”

"Will do” Seth replies blushing from her soft touch.

Even Seth seemed to be lost within her beauty as he left quickly to report back to the pack.

“Shall we” vesta says and we all continue inside. “Huilen your back” mother says.

Why of course I am, you think I would miss this for anything?” Huilen says.

I quickly respond "Miss what, its just another birthday like I have every year, nothing special"

“ Nahuel you naughty boy you haven’t told them have you? Vesta says.

“Tell us what?” Mother responds.

“About the awakening of course” Vesta replies.

Awakening? Carlisle asked questioningly

“The Awakening is when a hybrid becomes immortal.

All of your abilities are heightened and it’s the last time you will ever age.

It’s very similar to the reaction you undergo from vampires venom but your heart doesn’t stop pumping.

The process freezes you in time and you will always be beautiful and young.

But unfortunately it is not without pain.” Huilen says

“What? Nahuel you have been coming here for years and NEVER warned us about this?” Mother says

“I didn’t feel it was the right time,

prior to the awakening a hybrid is extremely vulnerable

and can easily be killed because their basic defenses have not fully matured.

When the awakening is complete Nessie will be an adult, just like all of us.

Her mind and body will be fully developed.

I did not want her to be locked away because of your fear of losing her or her being hurt.

I wanted her to enjoy all that the world had to offer and enjoy growing up while she could.” Nahuel replies.

“The awakening is a guarded secret among our kind and only my father Joham through centuries of study and experiments is said to truly understand the process.” Vesta says
