Model Vanity Magazine

Event Description:

The purpose of “So. Cal’s Natural Beauty Pageant” is to promote Self-Love, Confidence & Acceptance for our “Natural Beauty”. At the same time we want to do our part in giving back to the community and helping our society with this highly devastating issue in our Education System. A portion of the proceeds will directly go towards our special Charity Group.

Who We Are:

Using ustream and youtube,  watching via television on Spanish TV Univision in the USA, we were able to capture both Spanish and global social web coverage of this event.

Millions followed the affair in live streams on their computers, all the while commenting on social media sites. Among the many outlets webcasting the event was the Royal family itself, whose YouTube page offered live video and tweets from the prince’s official residence.
Akamai Technologies Inc., which delivers about 20 percent of the world’s Internet traffic, said that global page views peaked at nearly 5.4 million per minute this morning. That was good enough for the sixth largest amount of traffic ever, but well shy of the record of 10.4 million page views per minute set during the World Cup last year.

Model Vanity wishes the happy couple a wonderful life together.  The Numbers Lady predicts this will be the case!

Michael Torchia, Fitness Advisor to Hollywood's most elite celebrities and founder of The Shape Up America Campaign, will be holding a rally in Washington D.C. on January 15th & 16th, 2011 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center with an estimated attendance of more than 80,000.  Michael Torchia has personally been a tremendous inspiration and motivator to the children and adults across the nation to learn about exercise and better eating habits.  

First Lady Michelle Obama has been selected to be the recipient of the "Health Advocate Achievement Award" by the Shape Up America Campaign Council for all of her hard work and dedication in helping to create a healthier nation.  The award ceremony will be held on January 15th, 2011 at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center and will also honor top fitness celebrities for the impact they have made to the health and well-being of our nation.

The Shape Up America Campaign Health & Fitness Expos are being held with the NBC Health & Wellness Expos, which are recognized as the premier wellness events in the country, attracting thousands of health-minded consumers each year. There will be a Shape Up America Campaign Pavilion at every venue, offering something for every member of the family including free health screenings, fitness demonstrations for children and adults, nutrition lectures, healthy cooking demonstrations/healthy shopping tips, athletic competitions and free product giveaways.  Obstacle course challenge for the kids, as well a variety of information and products for the entire family.

Several celebrities have been scheduled to join this event including: Bill Germanakos, the season four winner of the "The Biggest Loser,” actor/athlete Sebastian Siegel and surprise appearances by celebrities from the entertainment and sports industries.  

Health organizations joining forces for the Shape Up America 30-City Tour include: The After-School All-Stars, Boys and Girls Club of America, American Diabetes Association, Alzheimer's Association, National Fibromyalgia Association, Liver Foundation, American Red Cross, National MS Society, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, Generation Rescue, Boys and Girls Club of America, P.S. I Love You Foundation, Children’s Fitness Foundation and The Children’s Fitness Academy.

The Shape Up America Campaign has already brought the message of family health and fitness to Los Angeles in March, and also to New York City's Central Park last June, where Shape Up America teamed with the Adventures NYC event that attracted more than 30,000 health and sports enthusiasts. The campaign is designed to promote better physical fitness among America's children and dent the current epidemic of childhood obesity in the U.S. Previously, New York Senator Charles Schumer and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa have both submitted resolutions recognizing The Shape Up America Campaign founder Michael Torchia for his advocacy of health and fitness issues for families and obese kids. 

Michael Torchia is the quintessential cutting edge fitness advocate leader, whether working with children or adults of any age.  Michael has created a multi-disciplined lifestyle conglomerate, a first in its category that focuses on every phase of peoples' lifestyles including physical fitness and nutritional solutions. 

The Shape Up America Campaign was created to help children and adults around the country get healthy for their own benefit and for the lasting benefits that will strengthen the entire nation for generations to come.  

The campaign targets all segments of our communities, including schools, city government, civic organizations, community groups, businesses, and other people who live, work and play in America.  

The Operation Fitness Team will travel around the country providing the crucial information that will help even the most stubborn and unmotivated Americans learn how to break their bad eating habits and become more physically active.  The ultimate goal is to teach people how they can create simple ways of exercising and develop sensible eating habits, along with participating in stimulating activities at home, office, in a park or even in the wilderness.  In addition, pet owners will learn innovative ways to get their pets in shape and on a healthy track. 

It is vital that we make a change now before it is too late. Americans are neglecting their health, when simple changes can make a difference in the overall quality of their lives. With encouragement and options for making that change, Americans will become more active and health-conscious.

The Playboy founder announced the precious moments in his tweets, saying that after they watched a movie, in the Christmas Eve, he gave Crystal a ring as his gift on their exchanged gifts. He knew that it was truly a memorable Christmas Eve for both of them.

Hugh also tweeted that when he gave the ring to Crystal, his lady love burst into tear, and it was really the happiest Christmas weekend in memory to share for both of them.

Moreover, due to the news that the Playboy model accepted Hefner’s proposal to marry him, demand of Crystal’s Playboy photos became the top trend in Twitter and Google on December 26.

The couple began dating two years ago. However, it still uncertain when will be their big day to happen. The two are still an unspoken regarding their plans and wedding dates.

Hefner has been married twice and get divorced. The Playboy Mogul first wife was Mildred, he get married in 1949 and has two children, Christie, 58 and David, 55.

In 1959, he and his first wife has been divorced, and get married for the second time in 1989 with Kimberley Conrad,  a Playboy’s Playmate of the Year, and the couple’s divorce has been finalized in 2009. Hefner has two sons with Conrad, Cooper, 9, and Marston 10.

Most men his age are either dead or in a retirement home at this age.  Not sure but we dont think there are alot of 24 year old blond model types looking around for old men to hook up with.  Perhaps this is a chance to grab at the old guys money since he has not much more to live.  What if he turns out like Jack Lalanne?

Online impersonators who assume someone else's identity to harm, intimidate, threaten or defraud may be charged with a misdemeanor.
"E-personation," said Simitian, "is the dark side of the social networking revolution. Facebook or MySpace pages, e-mails, texting and comments on Web forums have been used to humiliate or torment people and even put them in danger. Victims have needed a law they can turn to."
Online impersonators have sent Twitter messages "signed" by celebrities, pretended to be someone else to send obscene e-mails, even subjected others to unwanted sexual advances by assuming their identity to post invitations on adult sites. In one example, a woman angry about her ex-husband's girlfriend pretended to be the girlfriend's daughter on an adult dating site, causing the daughter to receive lewd responses.
The penalties for online impersonation are similar to those already on the books for other forms of impersonation - a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to one year in jail. The bill would also allow victims of online impersonation to pursue compensation in civil court. 
Senate Bill 1411, authored by State Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto), becomes law January 1, updating California's 19th century impersonation law to the Internet age.

Some modelling industry backround.
A model or modèle is a person who is employed for the purpose of displaying and promoting fashion clothing or other products and for advertising or promotional purposes or who poses for works of art.

Modeling is distinguished from other types of public performance, such as an acting, dancing or mime artist, although the boundary is not well defined. Appearing in a movie or a play is not considered modeling. However, modells may be considered to express emotion in their photographs or video.

Types of modeling include fashion, glamor, fitness, bikini, fine art, and body-part models. Models are features in a variety of media formats including books, magazines, movies, newspapers, and TV. The models themselves can be a featured part of a movie (Looker, Tattoo), reality television show (America's Next Top Model, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency), or music video ("Freedom! '90", "Wicked Game", "Daughters").

There are Fashion Models, Runway, Print, Supermodels, glamour, body parts, body double (acting), fitness modeling, bikini models and more.

A modeling agency is a company that comprises of modeling agents. A modeling agent (also called "bookers" or "model managers") is a group of people who manages a model's career. An agent help a model find jobs, book jobs, gives advice, and gives photographs to various companies. An agent may sent models to various clients and schedules modeling interviews (also called go and see).

A model does not have to work with an agent. It is up to the individual

PORTFOLIO, sell yourself!

When it comes to modeling, your portfolio serves as your resume and showcases your body of work. Whether you are signed to an agency or are a freelance model, putting together your portfolio is one of the most important aspects of your career.
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
Things You'll Need:

    * Photographer(s)
    * Outfits and Accessories
    * Portfolio Case
    * Photos
    * Portfolios

      Getting Pictures
   1.
      Before even attempting to put together a modeling portfolio, it is important to know what type of modeling you can do. Freelance models have greater flexibility in this area but should focus on a main category they will receive the most work in. If you do glamour or swim wear, then those are the types of photos you should have in your portfolio. High fashion models should have high fashion images in their books (another term for portfolio). Be realistic. If you are too short for fashion, stick to commercial/print and lifestyle images.
   2.
     High fashion images
      Use magazines and other publications as reference guides for the types of images you'll want to include in your portfolio. This will help you get an idea of the type of shoot you'll need to set up.
   3.
      For models signed to agencies, your agent will have a sit-down with you and advise you as to what types of images should be in your portfolio. They will also recommend photographers for you to work with that the agency trusts. It is in your best interest to go with the photographer referred to you by the agent. If you go outside the channels, your agent may not like the photos, resulting in a waste of time, effort and a portfolio your agent can't use.
   4.
      Freelance models can turn to online modeling communities as well as other outlets to find local photographers to work with. Be sure to look at the photographer's work and choose one who specializes in the type of images you want to include. If you are satisfied with their work, shoot them an email or give them a call to set up a meeting or shoot.
   5.
      Pick a photograph specializing in the type of modeling you do.

      Once you have found a photographer you want to work with, meet with him/her before your shoot to discuss the themes, concepts and/or looks you are going for. Explain what types of photos you'd like to try. From here you two can agree on locations, outfits, date, time, etc.
   6.
      Make sure you have everything you need packed before your shoot so you don't forget anything. You should have your hair and makeup professionally done as well to guarantee the best images. Agency represented models often have the comfort of having a makeup, hair and wardrobe stylist present during the portfolio shoot, while freelance models may have to do it themselves or get it done somewhere prior to the shoot.
   7.
      Once you have taken your photos, it's time to review them and pick the best. Out of the bunch you'll want to make sure to have the following among your images: headshot, ¾ body shot, full body shot. You'll want different outfits and locations to show diversity as well. Play with poses and give a variety...if you have the same poses over and over your portfolio will be boring.
   8.  TFCD - Exchange or Pay for images?
     
   9.
      Tearsheet Example
      As your modeling career progresses, update your images in your portfolio to reflect your most current work. In addition to regular modeling photos, include any tearsheets you get. These are pages taken directly from the published work you have appeared in. Tearsheets are vital to a model's portfolio because it showcases actual work, which is very impressive to clients.

Police continued searching today for a dancer and former NFL cheerleader who has been missing for a week, and her friends and family began handing out fliers on the Las Vegas strip to help the search.

Deborah Flores-Narvaez, 31, is a dancer in the Luxor's "Fantasy" show. Police said she was last seen leaving her Las Vegas home around 7 p.m. last Sunday.

"She's very creative. She loves dancing," she said. "She loves people and being around her friends."

Deborah Flores-Narvaez moved to Las Vegas to pursue a dancing career about two years ago, according to Fox News. After she didn't show up to a dance practice on Sunday night and then a show on Monday, Flores-Narvaez's roomate called her family, her sister told the Sun.

"She knew something was wrong when my sister didn't show up for practice," Celeste Flores-Narvaez said. "My sister is always at practice."

On her MySpace page, Deborah Flores-Narvaez says she was born and raised in Puerto Rico and is a ballroom, Latin and hip-hop dancer. She says she worked for the Washington Redskin Cheerleader Ambassadors in 2007 and 2008 and earned a law degree, as well as a bachelor's degree in international business.

"I am well-cultured, quick witted, intelligent, considerate and humorous," her MySpace biography says. "I am confident, tolerant, loving, realistic, big-hearted and completely uninterested in shallow pretentious people."

Police say she drives a maroon 1997 Chevrolet Prism with Maryland license plates and is described as 5-feet-5-inches tall and weighing 120 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes.

Anita Mann Productions produces "Fantasy." The owner, Anita Mann, released the following statement on Thursday:

"Our hearts and prayers are with Debbie's family through this difficult time. We strongly urge anyone who may have information about her whereabouts to contact Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, immediately."

MV Feels California has the hottest hooters girls.  Here is an idea, a pageant of the top Hooters girls from EVERY state.  There are so many restaurants they could become the NEW MISS UNIVERSE Pageant, and we wouldn’t have to see goofy hosts trying to be cute.  Just get a hooters veteran to do the show!
Below are samples of some of the hooters girls we’ve met.  We have some signed posters to prove it.  These girls are cute, and many times they might offer you a coupon for free wings if your nice.  Check local outlets to find out when they are having a hooters girl competition.  And poster signings are very common.

	This Girl is 6’ thats HOT
	Which one of the three would be your favorite server?  All these girls are from Hooters Restaurants in So California.  Hooters Long Beach, Hooters Lake Forest, Hooters Los Angeles, Hooters Anaheim and many more.  Hooters is a great place to watch the world series of baseball or poker.  There is a nice hooters in Temecula, but there girls are not from that restaurant.
Here is your overall winner for the night.  A Sexy Girl who won some big cash for showing her sexy orange shorts.
	This Girl may save your life some day!

The looks of the waitresses are a main selling feature of the restaurant. A Hooters Girl is a waitress employed by the Hooters restaurant chain. The girls are recognizable by their uniform of a white tank top with the "Hootie the Owl" logo and the location name on the front paired with the famously short nylon orange runner's shorts. Originally, the shirts were white cotton, pulled tight and knotted in the back to emphasize the breasts. "Hooters" is slang for "breasts" in some American parlance.
Later, Hooters changed to a tight white spandex shirt that eliminated the knot-tying. The company also began using other colors and designs for their tops such as a camouflage theme on Monday ("Military Mondays"), black on Friday ("Formal Fridays"), some Sundays, for special occasions, and for important local football and basketball games, and the football uniforms of local National Football League teams during the NFL season, although this varies from state to state and by location. The remainder of the Hooters Girls uniform consists of the restaurant's brown ticket pouch (or a black one with the black uniform), pantyhose, white loose socks, and clean white shoes. Men who work at Hooters wear Hooters hats, t-shirts with long pants, Bermuda shorts, or attire more suitable for kitchen use.

	We don't have more shots to display because ONE staffer shot both the still and Video from two separate sources.  Yeah its a tough job.  And that same staffer edits the video.  Matter fact, that same staffer is typing this, built the page your viewing and all the kewl social pluggins that got us over 100 unique visitors in the first 3 hours of putting this website up.  Now im very hungry, but the nearest hooters is very far from MV Studios. Oh Yeah, video will be up at www.ModelVanity.TV

Hooters is involved in the sports world. Previous sponsorships include the Miami Hooters, a now defunct Arena Football League team. Hooters previousy sponsored the USAR Hooters Pro Cup, an automobile racing series. Sponsoring continues for the NGA Hooters Tour, a minor league golf tour. In 1992 Hooters sponsored NASCAR driver Alan Kulwicki as he won the Winston Cup Championship, beating Bill Elliott by ten points, the closest margin in NASCAR prior to The Chase era. On April 1, 1993 Kulwicki, along with several others including Hooters Chairman Bob Brooks' son Mark were killed in a plane crash near Bristol, Tennessee. They were flying back to the track for Sunday's race after making a sponsor appearance at a Hooters in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Hooters has also licensed its name for the Hooters Road Trip PlayStation racing game as well as a Hooters Calendar mobile wallpaper application. Oasys Mobile will also be putting out several other games for mobile consumption based on the Hooters Calendar license in 2008.^[21]
Professional golfer John Daly is sponsored by Hooters on the PGA Tour, a deal potentially in jeopardy given his recent issues with alcohol. He also serves as a corporate spokesman. Dick Vitale, a college basketball analyst, is also a spokesman for Hooters.
Since 1986, the restaurant has issued a calendar of their girls, with signings taking place in some of their restaurants. Since 1996, Hooters has held Miss Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant, a competition of Hooters Girls from around the world; in 2010, this event took place in Hollywood, Florida. An African-American woman won the Miss Hooters pageant for the first time in 2010: LeAngela Davis of Columbus, Ohio.^[22]
