TV Appearance CT Style

For almost a year and a half you all know that I was signed as a model in my state as well as New York. Luckily June 8th I was able to appear on a famous tv station in my state. I was asked to model along side a fellow model who is known in the business as well. We were modeling on CT Style on News8 for some boutiques who we would feature later that Saturday at a Fashion Show. 

I wanted to share with you all this experience because I'm so thankful and still astonished that this actually happening. I still can't believe it happened even after I watch the behind the scene clips I have. I'm sure that if you want to watch the full segment you can go on http://www.wtnh.com/ctstyle and then look for either me or 'fashion show preview'.

I got to model with beautiful white and gold mini dress from Joseph Ribkoff and accessories from a boutique called Idiom.

The first clip above is behind the scenes look from the control room and the second clip I recorded while I saw the segment live on my TV ( and yes I was very giddy). I can't wait to see the many more opportunities that will arise just like this one and I can't wait to share it with you all. Stay tuned for a post all about the Fashion Show that we were promoting.

Fun on the Job

Hello everyone! As I mentioned last post I had a little surprised in which I revealed that I am basically blonde now. This was all due to a recent job I was hired for. Now I know you might be wondering, "What job?" or "Why would you dye your hair for a job?" the answer to that is that I am a model. I had shared this with you all a couple of posts ago but as I officially got signed under the company I work for, I ended up getting my job no less than two weeks after.

Anyways, enough technical talk. I know you all wanna know what I ACTUALLY  did. So I was lucky enough to be hired as a model for Denis de Souza and Sergio Garcia. Denis is a celebrity hairstylist from California who has started to teach classes to hair dressers so that they learn his technique and the trend he created: The Sombre.

This was basically a two day job, I got hired on Sunday and on the same day they prepped my hair (cut it, blow dry it and style) for the next day along with two other models I was with.

 

On Monday we got our makeup done, got dressed and our gorgeous little black dresses from Zara were provided by the director. As the day went on I was the live demo model which meant that Denis de Souza would be talking and doing my hair as a demonstration to the hair stylists that came to learn.

My hair slowly went from dark brown to a caramel color and then at then end it had the full Sombre effect. I worked all day and my mom was too happy to be by my side all day so I had to take a picture of her backstage ( Isn't she adorable??).

As I said before I was the live demo so here's a shot of them doing my hair.

At the very end I had an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction just because everything turned out great and all the hair stylists that were there were pleased to have seen the demo so I felt happy for Denis and Sergio who shared their talent successfully.

And of course we took group pictures for Joico (Hair company we worked for) as well as for everyone to see. If you all want to check out other pictures follow @DenisdeSouza on Instagram or @Joico to see the picture above.

I'm happy I'm able to share my experiences with you all and I can't wait for many more I'll be able to share.

Until next time,

Val
