Oscar Red Carpet Best Dressed selected by Model Vanity

Monday, February 25, 2013 - 0 Comments

Oscar's Red Carpet best dressed is announced.  Of the 22 contenders we looked at, we felt the best dressed was!!!!!!!!!!  Envelope please.


Who was yours!?


and our winner

Charlize Theron in Dior Haute Couture, with Harry Winston jewels. 


We selected her look not just from photos but from the live video feed of the Oscars with AP.  Her presence and modern look matched the wardrobe and it seemed forward thinking.  It was the perfect length and had a ball appearance yet the top had a modern design to it.   The only improvement might have been longer earnings; overall a great look.  10/10

NAB Show Las Vegas Booth Promo Models

Friday, April 29, 2011 - 0 Comments


The NAB show Las Vegas was a first for Model Vanity.  Booking talent for this show and many others in Las Vegas is a great way for new models to experience promotions on a professional level and earn some extra money. So if your a model and you want to work promotions at the professional level, read on!

Models are typically contracted through an agency who represents talent.  Promotion teams and business approach the agency seeking talent meeting certain criteria like age, experience, height or spokes model skills.


Promotional models are much more then passive beauty mannequins, they must be active advocates on behalf of clients for assignments.  Handing out brochures, scanning badges and answering some basic questions are all part of an assignment that may last up to 8 hours a day or more.


Pay rates depend on the client negotiated rate and your experience as a model.  Talent with higher visibility and exposure tends to command better rates.  Many times clients will continue to use the same talent over the course of a year with multiple events in various cities.  Models usually can obtain this type of credibility by fulfilling client obligations.  Great agencies get you higher payouts.



Convention cities such as Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas are usually an agencies favorite.  Many events last 2 to 4 days in duration so the value for talent is much greater.  If  you are looking to break into promo modeling, leave us a comment below or send us an email (oscar (at) ModelVanity.com) for further details and information.  We'd love to see you out there working!

Univision Nuestra Belleza Latina TV Auditions Start this week!

Saturday, January 1, 2011 - 0 Comments

Univision anunciĂ³ hoy que darĂ¡ inicio a las audiciones en todo el paĂ­s para la quinta temporada de su competencia tipo “reality” de gran Ă©xito, “Nuestra Belleza Latina”. 


A partir del MiĂ©rcoles, 5 de enero del 2011 hasta el sĂ¡bado, 19 de febrero del 2011, la actual “Nuestra Belleza Latina”, Ana Patricia GonzĂ¡lez y la presentadora del programa Giselle Blondet visitarĂ¡n varias ciudades de todo el paĂ­s invitando a jĂ³venes hispanas a audicionar para obtener la oportunidad de ser coronada como la prĂ³xima “Nuestra Belleza Latina”. Las audiciones comenzarĂ¡n en Chicago, Illinois en V Live Chicago-2047.
 
Ahora en su quinta temporada, “Nuestra Belleza Latina” promete estar mĂ¡s grande que nunca. Combinando la emociĂ³n de un “reality” show con el glamour y el esplendor de un concurso de belleza, “Nuestra Belleza Latina” presenta algunas de las mujeres hispanas mĂ¡s carismĂ¡ticas, inteligentes y cautivadoras en los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico, ya que se enfrentan en una emocionante competencia en la que necesitan mĂ¡s que solo belleza para triunfar. Una vez que las audiciones finalicen, el grupo de mujeres seleccionado se disputarĂ¡n el tĂ­tulo de “Nuestra Belleza Latina 2011”, y por primera vez, los televidentes podrĂ¡n ayudar a decidir quiĂ©nes serĂ¡n las doce afortunadas finalistas que vivirĂ¡n en la mansiĂ³n de Miami y competirĂ¡n por la oportunidad de sus vidas: un contrato con la cadena Univision y un cuarto de millĂ³n de dĂ³lares en premios y efectivo.
Desde el lanzamiento del programa en el 2000, “Nuestra Belleza Latina” ha ayudado a lanzar las carreras de cuatro talentosas mujeres quienes hoy en dĂ­a son reconocidas en los hogares hispanoamericanos debido a su Ă©xito en Univision. Hoy en dĂ­a, Alejandra Espinosa es modelo en “SĂ¡bado Gigante”, Melissa Marty es un talento de GalavisiĂ³n y ha aparecido en varios especiales asĂ­ como tambiĂ©n campañas de la cadena y Greidys Gill ha despegado su carrera como actriz con un papel principal en la exitosa novela de Univision “Eva Luna”. Durante su reinado como “Nuestra Belleza Latina 2010”, Ana Patricia GonzĂ¡lez ha aparecido o ha servido como presentadora invitada en los programas mĂ¡s populares de Univision, entre ellos “El Gordo y La Flaca”, Despierta AmĂ©rica”, “Primer Impacto”, ¡Mira QuiĂ©n Baila!”, “SĂ¡bado Gigante”, “Sal y Pimienta” y los “Premios Juventud”, entre otros. TambiĂ©n recorriĂ³ el paĂ­s haciendo presentaciones personales, fue juez para el certamen Miss Venezuela y reportĂ³ para los premios Latin GRAMMY®.
“Ser ‘Nuestra Belleza Latina 2010’ es un sueño hecho realidad”, dijo GonzĂ¡lez.  “Trabajar en televisiĂ³n, haber hecho nuevas amistades que se han convertido en familia, visitar hermosos lugares, han hecho de Ă©sta una experiencia Ăºnica que cambiarĂ¡ mi vida para siempre.  Ha sido una recorrido increĂ­ble el cual creo serĂ¡ un trampolĂ­n para muchas oportunidades que vendrĂ¡n.  Sinceramente, quiero alentar a todas las mujeres hispanas a aprovechar  esta oportunidad y tratar de entrar en esta competencia Ăºnica”.
La personalidad de Univision Giselle Blondet serĂ¡ la presentadora del programa por quinta ocasiĂ³n y servirĂ¡ como mentor de las participantes cuando se enfrenten con una serie de retos frente a una audiencia en vivo todas las semanas, que pondrĂ¡ a prueba su determinaciĂ³n y carĂ¡cter. Las concursantes vivirĂ¡n juntas en una hermosa mansiĂ³n en Miami y trabajarĂ¡n con profesionales para perfeccionar su pasarela, pulir sus habilidades de baile y presentaciĂ³n, crear sus estilos de moda y maquillaje Ăºnicos, y someterse a un riguroso rĂ©gimen de ejercicios. A lo largo de la competencia, los televidentes tendrĂ¡n acceso a un detrĂ¡s de cĂ¡maras jamĂ¡s antes visto de los juicios, aflicciones, y a las interacciones entre las participantes que a menudo estĂ¡n cargadas de muchas emociones.
Osmel Sousa, uno de los mejores entrenadores de las reinas de belleza en el mundo, Lupita Jones, la ex-Miss Universo Mexicana, y el galĂ¡n de novelas que actualmente actĂºa en la exitosa telenovela de Univision “Eva Luna”, Julian Gil, una vez mĂ¡s conformarĂ¡n el panel de jueces que, junto con la participaciĂ³n de los televidentes, determinarĂ¡n las finalistas. En la gran final, la concursante con mĂ¡s votos de los televidentes serĂ¡ coronada “Nuestra Belleza Latina 2011”.

ModelVanity.com launches Model Shoot Expo at MV Studios in Southern California, USA

Friday, June 20, 2008 - 0 Comments

Model Vanity Expo is a series of photo shoot workshops with select photographers to help new and established model talent develop a unique portfolio of images at no cost. This private event offers talent multiple settings and safe surroundings.

RIVERSIDE, Ca. USA, June 19, 2008 / -- IP MicroMedia LLC web property ModelVanity.com (website in development) and Model Vanity Studios today announced a partnership to launch a first of a kind “Model Vanity Expo”. The partnership promises new and established models the chance to work with multiple, selected photographers in the presence of sponsors who may select talent for upcoming projects.

"We are excited about providing all established and new models this great opportunity to showcase their talent and realize their modeling potential," founder Oscar Toscano stated. "Opening our private studio in Riverside, Ca. to this unique casting and offering talent and select photographers a chance to work under our expertise in a nationally known studio lot is great experience and networking opportunity."

“We are using this event as a proving ground for our model shoot expo concept. New and existing talent can come and pose in more diverse surroundings then any “Mansion” or “lot” with talented photographers. There is a four thousand square foot, two story studio building, outdoor water gardens and unique structures and several auto and custom bike props to choose from. All models (glamour, fashion, fetish, bikini, import, Gothic, non-nude) are encouraged to attend this event. We are also providing skilled makeup and hair dressers. Ladies should bring several wardrobe changes to show off all the looks they posses.” added Oscar Toscano.

In addition, several sponsors will be on hand to review talent for potential future modeling opportunities. Authorized media and Spanish television stations will also be on hand to cover this event. Models will receive limited edition Model Vanity Clothing as well. The event concludes with a dinner sponsored by TiosTacos.com at 5pm. After party to follow.

All the talent attending this event will be featured on our site with the best images on display from all participating photographers. Online visitors can learn more about the models and cast their vote for their favorite girl at ModelVanity.NET.

“We have experienced a huge response since we announced this event from talent throughout the area. Over 150 candidates requested to attend this event from every ethnic type, but we are limiting attendance to 30 girls this time, “commented Oscar. “We are still reserving two more spots for one male and one female model that would like to attend.”

The event will kick off at 9 am. with a workshop for all photographers attending. “Using Adobe Lightroom in your digital work flow” will teach basic meta data techniques. A small discussion on ways to earn money from photography will conclude the mini workshop. Presentation is sponsored by ProImageVault.com. Photographers attending are invited to bring reflectors, strobes, or any gear to make the most of our 6 hour event!

Well equipped photographers who wish to attend can register at:

The battle below the belt in men's underwear!

Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 2 Comments

In the pristine world of white male briefs, it's war. On the one side is David Beckham, currently more male icon than soccer hero, his taut body in Emporio Armani underpants in a vast street poster ad in Milan.

On the opposing side is Michelangelo's "David" - or at least how the sculpture might have looked had the Florentine burghers insisted on a cover-up. Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce launched their riposte over the weekend as a private-collection calendar showing the heroic, muscular male.

The David vs. "David" standoff marks the moment that underwear has come out of the drawers and off the shelves to become, to men's fashion, the female equivalent of the handbag. It is an accessory - and even a necessity - that can be turned into big bucks.

Behind Giorgio Armani's focus on Beckham, which has roots in the cozy relationship he has developed with international soccer stars, is the realization that although one pair of pants may look much like another, branding with celebrity endorsement gives sales superpower.

"Never before has the world been so interested in legends - and sports stars reach another group of people," says Armani. "The day after we announced the Beckham collaboration, we got great results both commercially and image wise."

The Model Whisperer!




DURING Fashion Week, any given table at any trendy restaurant might yield characters worthy of a novel about the ephemeral value of youth and beauty. It would be airplane reading, quickly adapted for cable television. “I’ll Never Be Alone,” it might be called.

Open with a casual glance at the gray-haired man at a sidewalk table at Downtown Cipriani, who appears to be wearing a rodent pelt as an ascot as he quaffs white wine and nuzzles a raven-haired model with a British accent.

Let your eye flit a few blocks uptown to a booth against the south wall of the Coffee Shop on Union Square, where a dark-haired man in a baseball cap and sunglasses is eating herbed French fries desultorily with a fork, while Samantha, a next-to-the-last-round loser from the eighth “America’s Next Top Model,” snuggles against him.

Finally, track a few tables over to the banquette near the hostess station. Zoom in on Oscar Batori, who has just turned 21.

He is 6-foot-3, lean and English, with a faintly menacing sharpness to his face, which bears a resemblance to that of a young Mick Jagger.

Two years ago, Mr. Batori was working as a male model earning about $75 a day, sharing an apartment with others and eating ramen noodles for dinner. Two years from now, who knows where he will be. But last week, he was in his element: 21 and good-looking, during a week when youth and beauty hold full value.

London is invaded by size-zero models

To the uninformed they look like the kind of nerdy boys that couldn't get the girl at the school disco, but after years of losing out to their beefy peers, the skinny male is having his day. As London Fashion Week kicks off this weekend, stick-thin men will be parading the catwalks promoting an ideal of male beauty that is a far cry from the bulked-up models of the Eighties and Nineties.

But as indie kids and fashionistas across the country squeeze themselves into the latest drainpipe jeans, fashion's move towards a male size zero has a more serious consequence: it heralds an era where men – like women – feel pressure to conform to a waif-like body image.

The masculine ideal has undergone a step change, putting pressure on young men to conform to a new body shape. The fashion expert and agent Johnathan Phang explained: "Suddenly, you've got lots of guys becoming models who never thought they could be; the sort of people who were normally considered weeds or nerdy-looking."

Men Go Red!

15 male cardiac rehab patients will be showing their support for the American Heart Association “Go Red for Women” campaign Monday by modeling red dresses at Erlanger’s Chattanooga Lifestyle Center. The annual male fashion show begins at 11:15 a.m., Feb. 11, at the Chattanooga Lifestyle Center, with each participant strutting his stuff in a red dress, wig, make-up and jewelry.

“This is one of our most fun, most anticipated events of the year,” said Dee Clark, RN, with the Chattanooga Lifestyle Center. “The men who model in our annual fashion show go to great lengths to wear the best red outfit,” she said.

Tickets to the fundraiser are $10 and reservations must be made in advance. Guests can pay $1 per vote for their favorite model, “buying” an unlimited amount of votes. The male model collecting the most votes/money is named winner, with all proceeds donated to the local AHA “Go Red For Women” campaign.

The Skinny?

Thursday, February 7, 2008 - 0 Comments




CREDIT Hedi Slimane or blame him. The type of men Mr. Slimane promoted when he first came aboard at Dior Homme some years back (he has since left) were thin to the point of resembling stick figures; the clothes he designed were correspondingly lean. The effects of his designs on the men’s wear industry were radical and surprisingly persuasive. Within a couple of seasons, the sleekness of Dior Homme suits made everyone else’s designs look boxy and passĂ©, and so designers everywhere started reducing their silhouettes.

Then a funny thing happened. The models were also downsized. Where the masculine ideal of as recently as 2000 was a buff 6-footer with six-pack abs, the man of the moment is an urchin, a wraith or an underfed runt.

Nowhere was this more clear than at the recent men’s wear shows in Milan and Paris, where even those inured to the new look were flabbergasted at the sheer quantity of guys who looked chicken-chested, hollow-cheeked and undernourished. Not altogether surprisingly, the trend has followed the fashion pack back to New York

Wasn’t it just a short time ago that the industry was up in arms about skinny models? Little over a year ago, in Spain, designers were commanded to choose models based on a healthy body mass index; physicians were installed at Italian casting calls; Diane von Furstenberg, the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, called a conference to ventilate the issue of unhealthy body imagery and eating disorders among models.

The models in question were women, and it’s safe to say that they remain as waiflike as ever. But something occurred while no one was looking. Somebody shrunk the men.

New Face of Ralph Lauren!

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 - 0 Comments



How Rory Marshall became the pin-up boy of a global fashion house. Just before meeting the main man a small group of Ralph Lauren's staff asked Marshall to introduce himself and tell them something interesting about his life.

The conversation went like this:

Rory: "Hello, my name's Rory Marshall, I live in a small Yorkshire town called Ilkley where I live in a little house which was actually once owned by Enid Blyton."

Staff: "Wow! Gee! That's amazing!! Enid Blyton."

Rory: "Do you know who Enid Blyton is?"

Staff: "Er, no."

Fortunately they did know a potential icon when they saw one and Marshall, 29, landed himself just about the top gig a model can get – the new face of Polo.

Alongside fronting campaigns for Calvin Klein or Georgio Armani it doesn't get much bigger than that.
