New Hair Cut!

Got a cute hair-cut at the Salon KIWA right across from my school! It's a cute Japanese Salon that I've wanted to try for a long time and finally took the step!

I used an older picture of my favorite model Re:NO as a reference for the cut. Usually I get too nervous about the length but I just gave the picture and let my stylist handle it! I've learned I look weird with short hair if it's too short in the front so I get worried. But she shaped it really nice in the front!
Everyone was super stylish and cool and I love my haircut! They also gave me a massage XD;;

Kiwa Salon @ 27th between 7th and 8th Avenue!

New Online Modeling Portfolio~

Hey everyone!

The online portfolio I was using previously was for both my Design work and my modeling(with different folders). Thinking about it, I decided it would be best to separate them into two completely different portfolios. So besides Model Mayhem, I'm keeping an online modeling portfolio here:

I hope in the future to have my own domain where I can set up a more flushed out portfolio! For now this will do!

Thierry Mugler Womenswear Autumn/Winter)

The recent Mugler show yesterday was amazing! As a fashion student, artist, and Gaga fan this video makes me so happy.

Intwined in the show's soundtrack is a preview to Gaga's new song 'Government Hooker'. She herself makes an appearance in the show as a model. However that is not the main attraction in this piece of art. Mugler(now run by Nicole Formechetti) has a new modern direction that I love. The house has been known for their shows and this one is no exception I absolutely LOVE it.

To me Fashion is Art. When I design a collection I think of the big picture - mood, customer, setting - I paint a big canvas, a whole world. I really love when designers open up and put on a show. It's really inspiring to be, and just enjoyable, to see a show that goes all out like this. It's really a masterpiece.

YuGiOh 3D!!!

Ah! Me and Justin saw YugiOh 3D in Times Square today!!

So for the 10th anniversary of Yugioh they made an hour special of the three protagonists meet and join forces!!! Justin noticed it was a special showing in select theaters. In NY it was only 12:45 today and yesterday and then next Sat and Sunday the same time! We decided we HAD to go because....CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES RULE. The movie was actually sold out and we barely got in and the theater was packed to capacity with everyone like our age and older! It was crazy and lulzy and I'm pretty sure the few families with kids who did attend were completely scared and confused by the crowd.

If you missed out it's playing again this weekend!

Check more info in this video!

Invitation from Yugioh:The Abridged Series:

Lady Gaga Monster Ball

Tuesday I had the greatest spontaneous thing ever happen....I went to the Lady Gaga concert at Madison Square Garden!

Awful phone quality pic I need to upload my camera still!!!

Lady Gaga is very inspirational to me. Her visions, fashion, lyrics, just everything about her consumes me. I saw her about a year ago now at Radio City Music Hall with Ashley last year and it was an emotional experience.
I had talked with people about trying to go but it seemed hopeless to get tickets at a decent price. Then on Monday night Alyssa found that ticketmaster released more tickets! We ended up getting a good price for tickets on the side second tier! The seats were definitely worth it and we had a good view! We even got to see stuff backstage like Gaga gettign ready before the show and hugging all her dancers and stuff!

Here's a picture taken from the Virgin Mobile booth of me!


I can't even descirbe all the emotions I felt ahhhh so good
