Misty Reavis is a highly<br />

trained and published<br />

freelance hair and makeup<br />

artist.<br />

Misty Reavis<br />

While her career began in Northwest<br />

Arkansas, she has recently landed in<br />

the Omaha area. Her love for hair<br />

started at a very early age. In fourth<br />

grade, all the students were asked<br />

what they wanted to be when they<br />

grew up, Misty wanted to be a hair<br />

stylist. And since 1996, her passion<br />

blossomed into a career. Misty also<br />

found the love for makeup and that<br />

both went hand in hand with each<br />

other so she decided to get her<br />

degree in makeup artistry. She holds<br />

a cosmetology license in Arkansas,<br />

Nebraska, and in Iowa.


Misty loves working with all facial shapes<br />

and types, as well as hair types. Each<br />

individual is a blank canvas to create<br />

something with, whether it is her own<br />

vision or the vision of a photographer,<br />

model, designer, or bride. The end result<br />

has a story that needs to be told. Misty’s<br />

goal is to have a flawless application so the<br />

photographer spends less time using Photo<br />

Shop, and the individuals look like<br />

themselves and not an art project, unless<br />

of course that’s the plan of the project. No<br />

two people have the same hair and facial<br />

type which is what makes each individual<br />

client special and beautiful. She believes in<br />

using consultation techniques and both<br />

hair and makeup to achieve the end result.<br />

Misty communicates with her clients for<br />

direction on job specification including but<br />

not limited to, getting an outline of the<br />

client’s needs and following them to give<br />

the client satisfying results. She is also<br />

been known to get crafty for her clientele<br />

and make headpieces for photo shoots<br />

and/or for a bride’s hair piece for her<br />

special day.<br />

Misty has worked for Lancome cosmetics<br />

and has became a certified beauty advisor.<br />

She also had a short stint working for<br />

Benefit Cosmetics where she learned brow<br />

mapping as part of the waxing procedures.<br />

She is constantly continuing her education<br />

in both hair and makeup. She is a Master<br />

Colorist with Pravana. She is a certified<br />

Wella Color Correction Colorist.<br />

As well as certified with multiple Smoothing<br />

Treatment companies. She is certified in<br />

Disinfection and Sanitation, because let’s face<br />

it, no one wants to have dirty cosmetic brushes<br />

or makeup touching their face or dirty brushes<br />

being ran through their hair! If you don’t see<br />

your makeup artist using clean brushes or<br />

sanitizing them without call in between<br />

applications you are using the wrong<br />

professional! Misty is known for putting the<br />

client safety into consideration by observing<br />

safety procedures and avoiding certain<br />

chemicals that may have adverse reactions to<br />

the client’s hair and or face.<br />

Misty has worked closely with photographers in<br />

and out of several state photo shoots. She has<br />

worked with designers in and out of state for<br />

Runway shows. She was even asked to be a part<br />

of Raul ‘Rulli' Torres’s Northwest Arkansas<br />

Runway committee to help assist pick and<br />

choose other professional hair and makeup<br />

artist as well as models for his Runway shows<br />

when he held them in the area. She was a<br />

makeup artist for Northwest Arkansas Fashion<br />

Week for several years running, even making<br />

the drive from Omaha back to Arkansas to<br />

participate. Misty was recruited by sculpt talent<br />

agency out of Little Rock, Arkansas to assist<br />

with the hair and makeup gig for a company by<br />

the Name of Love Hangover Creations who was<br />

performing and a runway show for Walmart<br />

home office for Cultural Week. To this day,<br />

Misty and the owner of Love Hangover<br />

Creations are still friends and still communicate<br />

and speak business quite frequently. She also<br />

did hair and makeup for Northwest Arkansas is<br />

Dancing with the Stars. And was also asked to<br />

participate in 2017 MAPSYM, Mid-America<br />

Photography event held in Eureka Springs,<br />

Arkansas. Those are just a few of the many<br />

events that she has participated in.

Misty sticks with the traditional makeup application, for she feels that she<br />

can get a better finish and look from her techniques then from airbrush.<br />

Her foundation line that she uses is waterproof, sweat proof, and nontransferable,<br />

and is PETA approved. She found that this Foundation line not<br />

only benefited the photographers and models from flashback, you know<br />

the ‘ghastly white face look’, but also gives the bride’s the confidence of a<br />

flawless finish for their wedding day without getting makeup all over their<br />

expensive beautiful gowns.<br />

Today, Misty continues to work passionately, creating amazing hair and<br />

makeup looks on clients everywhere and helping her clients to feel even<br />

more beautiful than they already are! Be sure to take one of Misty’s classes<br />

if you ever get the opportunity for you never know what kind of tips and<br />

tricks you may walk away with!<br />

Misty is currently<br />

rebranding herself<br />

and her business so<br />

be on the lookout for<br />

changes! But for now<br />

Cover Model<br />

Brittany Lynn


Hey guys!!!<br />

Bee here! Well, first off, I'd like to begin by saying I am truly<br />

honored to be the cover girl of this amazing magazine! This<br />

is definitely a magazine I have seen and wanted to get in<br />

and here I am on the cover! Woo!! I was due for another<br />

cover to add to my collection and I am so thankful for you<br />

guys and Robert to help make that happen. :) This was such<br />

an amazingly fun, relaxing, and enjoyable shoot, I couldn't be<br />

happier to be able to share it with the world. Totally needed<br />

a beach day, and turned down my boats and hoes all<br />

weekend for it, so glad it was worth it!


So, a bit<br />

about me...<br />

I'm 28 years old,<br />

working hard to be<br />

a millionaire before<br />

I'm 30! I love to<br />

read and learn.<br />

Hardcore<br />

collecting useful<br />

information since<br />

1990.<br />

In my 'bio', I would naturally, say<br />

all the fun/recreation I like to do<br />

that I think people usually want<br />

to hear about such as travel,<br />

shows, events, games, boating,<br />

jetskis, get down with friends, yada<br />

yada yaaa. Butttt- Honestly.. I'm kind<br />

of over these phases as I have had<br />

way more fun than I should have by<br />

now and I'm all funned out. Truly, For<br />

me, it's time to grind. I don't even<br />

enjoy it like I used to because I'm too<br />

focused and know the value of my<br />

time. Rarely, I still do 'fun' things here<br />

and there I really want to do to keep<br />

me sane, such as a show or a vaca<br />

every few months (vs. every week to<br />

two weeks like before).<br />

#RecreationIsOverrated.<br />

#SuccessIsMyDuty.


Now, I spend my days fighting everyone and everything off due<br />

to this. (Go me!) I get some pretty epic offers for shows, events, games, paid<br />

vacas all over the states and out of the country, but very aware of the opportunity<br />

cost and time management, especially when vacas are involved. Though many of them<br />

involve shooting, still, it gets to be more about vaca mode at times and there's many<br />

amazing photographers and opportunities right here in Chicago and nearby. Plus, was too<br />

much time away from my home and B. Just have to know your worth and be very careful<br />

what you agree to. Time is money. :) I'm extremely grateful for the love of my life,<br />

Bandit, my family, my amazing photographers, publishers, friends, fans, slaves, and<br />

everyone else! I don't really drink or party anymore, but go to bed early and wake up<br />

early, as the successful do. ;) I also do radiology and am a subject matter expert,<br />

overseeing the radiology department of 7 different clinics. [Single, but unavailable.]<br />

I like to shoot, study, learn, read, listen to audiobooks and podcasts, express my<br />

creativity and visions, (also why I love shooting), self analyze, measure my progress,<br />

work hard, be productive, disciplined, motivated, and advance in life. I also like to become<br />

the healthiest version of myself, run, workout, enjoy nature, witchcraft, bend reality,<br />

Youtube/ comedy/ skits, meditate, explore new opportunities, try new things, network,<br />

keep my mental state positive and in check at all times, donate to charities that speak<br />

to me like St. Jude, ASPCA (animal abuse), and UMTR2ME (suicide prevention). I strive<br />

to reach the point of tithing at 10% of my income, but I'm not there yet. I put my time<br />

and energy towards reaching my goals, self-growth, investing in stocks, making money,<br />

helping people, building my brands, self love, God, gratitude, becoming a better person,<br />

finding the good in all people, situations, and struggles, daydreaming, connecting to<br />

source, etc, etc.. I also love crystals. They help me do all of this with much more power<br />

and motivation. I believe in personally radiating love and good will to all.<br />

Just working hard to make my wildest dreams come true. I'm blessed beyond belief and<br />

have a gang of angels looking out for me, contributing to my abundant, beautiful life filled<br />

with love, joy, wealth, peace, success, and happiness. Really proud of how far I've come<br />

in life, especially within the past year of changing my habits and mental state,<br />

knowledge is power. You'll be seeing a lot more of me. I'm here to live out my life purpose<br />

and make the world a better place because I lived in it. Not just a pretty face. ;) If you'd<br />

like to get to know me more, or contact me about rates and bookings.

Posing and Photographing<br />

by<br />

Taylor Grey


Photographing the female form is art form itself.<br />

It's much more than putting them in the frame and composing<br />

that frame. It's about understanding that form's body, it's lines,<br />

it's errors, it's angles it's physical appearance, it's emotional and<br />

mental presence on the world around itself.<br />

To understand the female form you must strip away the pretense that every form is<br />

the same, well yes in its rudimentary state it’s the same, but just like figure drawing<br />

and figure painting, not all bodies are the same. The fashion industry unfortunately<br />

designs primarily to a single body shape, and leaves the, "non-standard body mass" in the<br />

corner closet for a rainy-day project. However, the female form is more than just lines<br />

and bumps. It's has hallmarks of that forms life, history and the things that have<br />

molded it.<br />

You might have heard of, read the article or blurb that floats around on social media<br />

platforms and blog sites about the wife of two or three went in for a boudoir session<br />

for her husband, who was promptly outraged at the photos he received. It wasn't that<br />

the female photographer shot the wife wrong, or made them lewd and overly sexual,<br />

instead it was her post work, she made this mom and wife look like the model in a<br />

glossy ad, smooth skin perfect. The husband remarked that the photographer stripped<br />

away what made her beautiful in his eyes, the stretch marks, the crow's feet, she took<br />

away the essence of that form.<br />

Where I am getting with this is that before you put the female form in a frame and<br />

shoot, you need to understand her, without blatantly pointing out the flaws. Remember<br />

that most women are self conscious about their bodies, because we as a society have<br />

built up this image of perfection and anything that doesn't meet that is looked upon<br />

with ridicule and shame or disgust.<br />

The female form without trying to be graphic, racist, or shaming of it has<br />

unimaginable amounts of differences, in fact the human race is that way.<br />

Don’t go into your shoot thinking that this will be the same as the last


The client you shot last session<br />

may have been a taller mom of<br />

three kids age of early forties,<br />

pretty decent bra size, skinny waist,<br />

a generous behind and muscular<br />

thighs. She's worried about showing<br />

her stretch marks, her crow's feet,<br />

her smile lines and that shooting<br />

her from certain angles will make<br />

her look fat or disproportionate.<br />

However today you get a client<br />

who is a 22 year old college<br />

student who works two jobs, is on<br />

the college diet, stressed about<br />

making grades to hold her<br />

scholarship. Her body could be<br />

described as standard model, size 2<br />

or 4 dress, picturesque beauty<br />

without makeup, ballerina bra size,<br />

with a slight masculine jawline.<br />

She's not really concerned about<br />

any flaws other than the fact that<br />

she has mentioned that she has<br />

lost a few pounds. She won't tell<br />

you that she fought and won a<br />

battle with an eating disorder.<br />

The Female Form<br />

How you shoot the mom will be<br />

different then shooting the college<br />

student. Before we go into that<br />

let's talk about the basics of<br />

posing. Remember that rules are<br />

meant to be broken but these are<br />

suggested rules.<br />

The human body is not a straight<br />

line, so avoid at all cost locking<br />

the elbow joints or hyper extending<br />

them. It looks really weird on<br />

camera, and when you see it in<br />

person it may not be so bad, but on<br />

camera it looks creepy and<br />

unnatural.<br />

Locking the knees or allowing them to bend<br />

backward also looks awkward, posing the female<br />

form is about beauty and embracing the femininity<br />

of it. Allow an ever so slight bend at the knee if<br />

the subject is standing. It looks softer then the<br />

harsh lock of the knee.<br />

Hands are the hardest and no matter how hard<br />

you try, the only people that I have found that<br />

have mastered the art of posing their hands are<br />

dancers. The hands should be soft, slightly open,<br />

breathy and airy, almost like they are holding the<br />

plumage of an elegant bird.


Bear claws and lobster mitts are a<br />

no-no. There really isn’t much I can<br />

offer other then try to have little<br />

bends in the joints, and keep the wrist<br />

loose, but not so loose that it flops.<br />

Another thing that many photographers<br />

do on a consistent basis is hide a limb,<br />

almost always make sure that all four<br />

limbs of the body can be seen, even if<br />

partially. It looks pleasing to the eye<br />

to see limbs.<br />

Let's move to joints. NEVER EVER<br />

CROP AT A JOINT, if you know that<br />

you will crop in post and your camera<br />

shooting position is steady enough to<br />

not get blurring, focus your lens on<br />

the eye and shoot the body as a whole<br />

and crop up to where you want. I have<br />

seen to many beautiful portraits ruined<br />

because the photographer cropped at a<br />

joint or cropped the foot in half. The<br />

biggest offender is from the knees<br />

down. Crop at the shin or don't crop at<br />

all.<br />

If you are going to put a subject in<br />

frame within your image, make sure we<br />

can see at least both thighs, or just<br />

below the knees, or just above the<br />

waist.<br />

Another critical thing is the face, most<br />

non models have a single facial<br />

expression, Chandler Bing for example.<br />

Rather than shoot them with the same<br />

face or attempt to get them to change<br />

that expression, which will looked<br />

force, converse with them elevator<br />

style. Talk about generic stuff, how is<br />

life, why they came to you, find out<br />

their hobbies, or what they do for<br />

leisure. Don't ever get personal unless<br />

you know them on a deeply personal<br />

friend level.<br />

The Female Form<br />

Stay on super generic topics. Once they open<br />

up they won't have any problem adjusting their<br />

expression, or shoot on two rather than on<br />

three.<br />

The broadest part of the body is the bicep, the<br />

thigh and the broad plane of skin on the hand,<br />

always turn these to the side or resist the<br />

urge to compress these areas. Instead hold the<br />

arm centimeters away from the body, change<br />

the weight distribution if they are posed in a<br />

way that compress or shows the thigh in all<br />

its glory.<br />

Keep ankles stiff, don't bend sideways. It looks<br />

awful.<br />

Another thing I like to say is break the<br />

parallels. You have at least 6 points on your<br />

body that form parallel lines when standing<br />

upright. Your eyes, shoulders, elbows, hips,<br />

knees and ankles.


Let's talk about trickery<br />

within the frame how do you<br />

make someone a size 2 or 4 look<br />

amazing and how do you make a<br />

curvy person look amazing<br />

without looking, well weird on<br />

camera?<br />

It's all about the angles. You<br />

really shouldn't shoot someone<br />

straight on, especially a woman.<br />

The Female Form<br />

Instead turn her hips an eighth to a<br />

quarter turn away from you, and turn the<br />

shoulders an eighth to a quarter turn. In<br />

essence you have, say her right hip and<br />

left shoulder more prominent, twisted her<br />

core, which has tightened her midsection<br />

making her form appear more balanced.<br />

HINT: this trick could allow you to shoot<br />

her straight on if executed with precision.<br />

The body is twisted and therefore not<br />

facing you straight on.<br />

What you want to do with a size 4 is to<br />

make curves appear where they aren't<br />

without making them look cartoonish. All<br />

this is done without any help with<br />

photoshop. The best one is the Core twist<br />

as mentioned above. It accents the form<br />

and helps to add curves.<br />

By accenting what she has with strategic<br />

poses, hip drops, slight body twists, kneeling<br />

or shooting her from different angles will<br />

tremendously help to add curves.<br />

In my experience there are two types of<br />

curvy women, those that wear their<br />

curves and those that embrace their<br />

curves. The wearers have no clue how to<br />

pose with their curves or dress<br />

appropriately, and most of the time they<br />

will complain when you don't shoot her<br />

correctly. Those that embrace their<br />

curves have mastered them and know how<br />

to look damn good, they know how to<br />

accent the good and hid the bad, they<br />

know what clothing works well and<br />

what doesn't.<br />

So how do you shoot curves? Well I am<br />

going to brutally honest, 75% of the<br />

industry haven't master the concept,<br />

they'll shoot it but it will show flaws<br />

and both the client and photographer<br />

will get frustrated, my first shoot with<br />

a short curvy model was a disaster, I had<br />

shot a super tall curvy girl twice and it<br />

was amazing. 15% of them have mastered<br />

the concept, are damn good at it and it<br />

shows, the last 10% only shoot what is<br />

wrongly referred to as plus size<br />

modeling. The average American woman is<br />

a size 12 or 14, for those who aren't in the<br />

know.<br />

With more brutal honestly, the majority<br />

of the time if you are at Five four and<br />

weigh above 250, the vast majority of<br />

photographers, that 90%, may politely, or<br />

impolitely turn you down for portraits,<br />

the majority of the time it's not that we<br />

are bodyshaming, far from it, it's because<br />

we are psychologically intimidated on<br />

shooting you, to make you look amazing<br />

or as you may have told us, make me<br />

look like a model.


The Female Form<br />

Back to the mom, what I did is that I twisted her core, broke the parallels almost to<br />

the brink of exaggeration, strategic angles, she duplicated the Black Widow stance<br />

several times and it worked for her body type, I used minimal shadowing, or blowout<br />

highlights leeching in from behind as I shot a quarter profile pose. I pulled a knee as far<br />

across her other leg as possible to make her appear slimmer. Sometimes I would shoot<br />

from a lower angle while she held her head high, or shot from a slight overhead angle<br />

while she held her head high.<br />

Again, it's all about knowing her angles. This mom had worked with me four times and<br />

she told that she learned more about her body type and posing it in two sessions with<br />

me then the money she spent at 19 for modeling classes.<br />

I will get into clothing and body types in a later article which also helps with posing<br />

and making the female form look good on camera, hopefully while also maintaining her<br />

personality. Unless you are shooting for commercial usage like fashion photography.<br />

This is all from my own personal experience so refer at will.<br />

I also happened to learn posing by studying the naked form, take a moment attend a<br />

figure class, or ask your partner to pose naked. Without clothing one can see how the<br />

skin moves, with fit people you can see how the muscles change and pull across the<br />

form, you can see how the body reacts without fabric.

The different kinds of photo<br />

shoots for a model and<br />

what they involve<br />

by Rick Cutrer<br />

If you are aiming to become a<br />

professional model who wants to<br />

work in front of a camera, there<br />

are a few things you should know<br />

Test shoots<br />

Test shoots usually refer to the<br />

practice of a photographer wanting to<br />

try out a creative idea, test new<br />

equipment, wanting to build their own<br />

portfolio, or the photographer might<br />

just want to try out how a photo shoot<br />

would go with the set-up of the photo<br />

session. The other side of test shoots is<br />

for models who need test shots for<br />

their portfolios. This can be organized by<br />

the model themselves, so they can get<br />

professional shots to show to agencies,<br />

or by an agency who wants to represent<br />

a new model.<br />

Test shoots are usually a simple trade<br />

of services. Do not expect to get paid<br />

for a test shoot, just as a photographer<br />

will not expect a reward for the<br />

photography he/she does. So, you could<br />

view it as friendly set-up of one<br />

professional helping another, which<br />

works both ways.<br />

Model photo shoots<br />

There are some basic points which you should<br />

aim to fulfill as a model, in terms of photo<br />

shoots and photo sessions.<br />

Firstly, you should know how to make the<br />

photographer’s life as easy as possible. A<br />

model, who knows what he/she is doing and<br />

who does not need so much managing, will<br />

take a nice stand with the photographer. If<br />

you show flexibility and you can adapt to the<br />

setting easily, this will make the<br />

photographer feel much more at ease and<br />

will consequently allow for the photo shoot<br />

to go according to plan without delays or<br />

disruption.<br />

The second, very important thing to<br />

remember is to keep yourself healthy and<br />

energetic. You should never arrive to a photo<br />

shoot looking tired and exhausted as this<br />

will influence the photo shoot in a variety of<br />

ways. So, remember to always get a good<br />

night’s sleep before the photo shoot and<br />

come to the shoot with energy and eagerness<br />

to work hard, as expected.


.<br />

Thirdly, when you have a photo shoot<br />

scheduled, always come well prepared.<br />

Usually all details relating to a photo<br />

shoot are discussed and set beforehand,<br />

therefore coming to a shoot with all the<br />

necessary items is vital. This is a good<br />

representation of your own reliability, so to<br />

appear as professional as possible, make<br />

sure you come fully prepared.<br />

In addition to the latter, always make<br />

sure you arrive on time. Nobody appreciates<br />

waiting around, especially as Studio time is<br />

often based on hourly fees. So, it’s always<br />

better to come early rather than late.<br />

"You should never<br />

arrive to a photo<br />

shoot looking tired<br />

and exhausted"<br />

When all the preparations have been made<br />

for the shoot, then starts your one-on-one<br />

with the photographer. Your ability to<br />

communicate with the photographer is key<br />

as it sets the tone and speed of the shoot.<br />

So, listen to the instructions of the<br />

photographer carefully and try to make<br />

his/ her job as easy as possible. Naturally,<br />

the more a model and a photographer work<br />

together, the smoother the photo shoot<br />

will be. However whether it’s your first or<br />

your tenth time working together, you<br />

should always aim to ask the photographer<br />

what he or she wants to facilitate for the<br />

most effective working environment.<br />

Warning<br />

You should always make<br />

sure that you are dealing<br />

with a professional<br />

photographer, especially<br />

when it comes to test<br />

shoots. There are lots of<br />

people luring and scamming<br />

young, impressionable<br />

models, and for this reason<br />

you should always consult<br />

a professional photographer<br />

for taking your<br />

photographs, especially if<br />

you are just starting out in<br />

the business. Ask other<br />

models, photographers you<br />

have worked with and do<br />

your own investigation about<br />

the photographer. The<br />

photographer will be<br />

investigating you too. Other<br />

models and photographers<br />

do talk. So, it’s worth to<br />

invest a bit of time and<br />

money in finding a<br />

professional to work with.

with Grayson Micaela<br />

Hello lovely friend's, It’s Grayson again<br />

with your monthly DFW arts news!<br />

I, myself, have been busy travelling for a month to California<br />

and surrounding states, doing art and making new connections, enjoying the<br />

break of summer as much as possible. I was so wrapped up in the process of<br />

becoming a better artist, I didn't have time to write an article for July, which I<br />

apologize to you for, my people! But I have lots of interesting things to tell you about<br />

the month of August and a little about the past month of July- all of arts news!<br />

Oh, August. The month children dread and parent’s love. The month of summer<br />

starting to wind down and school starting back up, the usual daily routine, the usual<br />

work day, and for us artists: so many things to do! New music being created and<br />

produced, new movies being planned and shot, movie screenings, models gearing up<br />

for a successful season of gorgeous shots, the dancers begin training again- the list<br />

goes on and on. At my school, Booker T. Washington High School For The<br />

Performing and Visual Arts, we love August because we cannot wait to get back to<br />

school and start creating with our friend's again. Even the academics are fun! We may<br />

die from sleep deprivation throughout the year, but it’s what we love and want to do<br />

with our lives, so it’s worth it.<br />

We have tons of shows you have to come see if you’re ever in<br />

the middle of Downtown Dallas- so, check out our website for more<br />

information! www.disd.org/bookert :) On another note of theater: Junior Players, a<br />

non profit theater here in Dallas, has busted out another show stopping production<br />

with Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare with many of my friend's as leads and many a<br />

great performance to be seen, as usual with a Junior Player’s production- make sure<br />

to keep them on your radar for future shows! Another theater company here, Cry<br />

Havoc, recently wrapped up their debut production of Babel, a riveting story following<br />

the tales of gun violence and what it does to people, showing the different sides of<br />

what goes on in and around the stories you hear.


Another company to get connected with! In the music side of<br />

things, Dallas based, city loved rock band The Wild Frontiers debuts their first EP 17,<br />

along with their music video for their single Drive, (I’m in it! XD), so go give that a<br />

listen on all streaming devices, Plano’s very own, Ron Bultongez, released a single<br />

titled Learning to Love, with his EP of the same name coming out August 1! If you<br />

listen to his soulful voice and hear his emotions pour out in his writing, I’m sure you<br />

will learn to love him as the rest of us do here. I wanted to give a quick thought to<br />

Ramon Mallow, a very important piece to the Dallas art scene, who has recently<br />

suffered two strokes. He is in charge of cataloging all of the open mics here and he<br />

also does some playing himself, so sending out a big “get well soon” to him! Oh, Open<br />

Mic nights are still moving and grooving- If I were you and just passing through, I<br />

would not miss an open mic opportunity here with some of the best. You won’t regret<br />

it one minute.<br />

"We have tons of shows you have to<br />

come see if you’re ever in the middle<br />

of Downtown Dallas"<br />

I have seen some absolutely stunning shots from some absolutely<br />

incredible models here- check out facebook and all of the Dallas Model sites for<br />

pics and prices of these beauties. And speaking of beauties, we have had to say<br />

goodbye to our favorite showgirl, Angel Beau! She moved out of Dallas to Florida,<br />

taking her energy and flawless performing skills with her and we will never be the<br />

same- that is until she comes back into to town to wow us with her performances<br />

once again. Check her out, ladies and gentlemen- She is the real deal. And to top it all<br />

off for this report, the booming movie industry here has done it’s magic producing<br />

top short and feature films that have won many a reward here. Justin Lobasco (who<br />

has a band, Tory Sound, that you need to check out because they are the bomb.com)<br />

and Abby Joy, star in a beautiful movie called Fire and Faith, where they won the Rack<br />

Focus Film competition, gaining Distribution and a budget, and that’s only one<br />

singular accomplishment here.<br />

I look forward to reporting more fun and crazy<br />

artistic adventures to you, here from Big D. Until<br />

next time, stay gorgeous and never waste a day!

Healthy living<br />

Photographer<br />

Candy Kwak<br />

"Healthy living is something<br />

most people think of as<br />

'hard', but in all actuality it is<br />

much simpler than you<br />

think.<br />

When you think of healthy<br />

living what do you think of? I<br />

am sure it is something<br />

along the lines dieting,<br />

eating salads and fruits,<br />

drinking water, and<br />

exercising daily. Well, I am<br />

going to inform you that<br />

that is considerably wrong.<br />

If you want to live a healthy<br />

lifestyle, then there is only<br />

one rule; don't stress it. You<br />

ate one cookie and now<br />

your diet is ruined, so you<br />

mid as well eat them all<br />

right? Wrong. Eating one<br />

cookie in a day is not going<br />

to destroy your diet or your<br />

confidence, unless you let it.<br />

You don't like eating<br />

healthy, so instead try<br />

intense work outs and<br />

drinking more water. You<br />

don't particularly like<br />

working out, instead you<br />

could eat more fish and<br />

chicken and make sure your<br />

dinner is smaller than your<br />

breakfast.<br />

You are only living as<br />

healthy physically as you are<br />

mentally, so do not stress!<br />

Instead, sit down, and relax.<br />

Take a step back and<br />

remember what you can do<br />

to better yourself, even after<br />

you may feel like you have<br />

hit rock bottom. You can<br />

only go up!"<br />
