Immortalized in a Marvel Comic!!

In the late 90's, I waitressed at Marvel Mania and fell in love with Marvel comics. To this day, working at that restaurant hold some of the most fun dear memories for me. I worked there the entire time it was open and even got to meet Stan Lee before the grand opening. 

As fun as it was to work at Marvel Mania, I was a single Mom then trying to also live my dreams and launch my Entertainment career. Although I was able to see it as a possibility in my head, there was a lot of learning and maturing I had to so and I still had a long way to go. The fact that I am now immortalized forever in a Marvel Comic has me over the moon happy. I honestly give thanks to God because dreams do come true in the sweetest ways imaginable so friends don't ever give up. 

Here are some shots from the comic book "Marvel 34 Avengers End Times." There is even a shot of me with my heroes, my favorite Marvel superheroes who in this story, are my fellow superheroes. Imagine that. :) To purchase a copy of Marvel 34 Avengers End Times or any other comic book please find a store by using this Comic Shop Locator. 

Getting my Model on for Comcast. Join me on set!

Hey there, ever wonder what some of these model shoots are like? I still get excited and intrigued when I'm on one and this last time, I thought of you! I figured it would be fun. A "take your friends to work" day... :D Hope you like it. Here's how it went down.

Call time had me getting there at 2pm. Parking was available for us which was great since the location was in Downtown L.A. Getting there, I turned the corner and walked right into a lovely trailer complete with comfortable surroundings and a chef at the stove making lunch! Is that an awesome greeting or what??? ;) That day Comcast was shooting three ads and it just so happened I was scheduled to be the last. So, I enjoyed some delicious food, read a magazine I had brought, filled out some paperwork, and then waited to be called to get ready.

Upon being called I walked over to wardrobe. A magical place filled with clothes, shoes, accessories, YAY! For those of us that love fashion, this is a wonderful experience. People pulling clothes to make you look your best for the project. I have yet to do a high fashion spread but I still feel fancy every time I go through this process. Even if I were being dressed up in overalls it would be 10 different sets all in my size. :) Believe me, it rocks.

Once that was done, it was back to waiting. I got to meet some people, talk. I even ate again. Got my hair and makeup done, and of course, took some pictures:

AND NOW FOR SOME TIPS for aspiring Models/Actors:

**Make sure you always have your exact and correct measurements and sizes available and posted because you will be put into clothes for these shoots and you do not want to cost production time and money by not being spot on with this information. Even after you've been hired, you could lose a job if this information is not correct.

**Taking pictures is usually forbidden on set. Doing so can is considered a major no no. If you are allowed to take pictures (meaning you have been cleared to do so by an authority on set) you must NEVER release anything about the job until it is wrapped and legitimately released to the public.

Hope that helps! &

I hope you enjoyed coming to work with me. Cheers to fun and flashes!!
