Check out this brief video showcasing some of the world's top models taking a spill on the catwalk. This should serve as evidence to all models that runway is WORK and not to be taken lightly!

Just Say No...to Size Zero?
South African designer StephG is combating against waif thin models with his "Say No to Size Zero" campaign.
“Many designers around the world, even the likes of legendary American designer Marc Jacobs, allow skinny models onto their ramps and make a fortune out of them,” argues StephG.
He hopes to assist models that are struggling with weight issues and is planning to open a crisis center for models suffering from Anorexia
Personally, I think the focus should be on healthy models and not necessarily the size dress they wear... eh, maybe it's the same thing. :)

TRU Model Management to supply models for Chicago's Prestigous Latino Fashion Week
TRU Model Management is all about community and diversity. That's why we were so pleased that Cesar Rolon, Jr., Executive Director of Latino Fashion Week, will be using our models for several of it's shows!
"It's truly an exciting time - for both the agency and Latino Fashion Week - and we look forward to the experience!" comments TRU Model Management founder and CEO, MIchael Stagg.
CLFW takes place October 27 - November 2 here in Chicago and will feature designes from the likes of James De Colon, Orlando Espinoza and Anna Fong. Also in attendance will be special honorees Jaslene Gonzalez of ANTM fame, Freddy Rodriquez and Veronica Zepeda!
Fashion week features few black runway models
This is part of the reason why I started TRU Model Management - To increase the level of diversity in print, on the runway and everywhere else models of color have been denied the opportunity to excel.http://www.reuters.com/article/email/idUSN1145982120080912

Affordable Comp Cards Spotted!!!
You know I'm always looking out for you when it comes to saving money. Well, comp card prices can get to be pretty outrageous IF you don't know where to look!
I've posted before with a list of affordable comp card companies and I'm adding one to the list! The company's called Spotlight Printing (catchy, no?!) and they offer pretty competitive pricing (view their price list here). On top of that, you can get custom layouts, rush orders and UV coating for FREE when you order! How cool is that!

September Featured Makeup Artist – Stacy Renee
Stacy Renee is nothing short of a phenom in the making! Her love of make is only surpassed by the love she exhibits to her clients. Her attention to detail in conjunction with her creativity is utterly AMAZING! Additionally, her work ethic is something that her peers should take note of; she never leaves a shoot unless she is SURE both the client AND model are satisfied. Beyond being a fabulous makeup artist she's a great person with a huge heart always willing to lend a helping hand at a shoot. To see more of Stacy's work or to contact her for bookings visit her on MySpace.
September Featured Model – Nik’ol Garcia
Nicole, AKA Nik'ol, Garcia began her modeling career while attending Loyola University Chicago on a full basketball scholarship. She just recently completed her B. A. in Visual Communications at the institution and launched Nik'ol Design Studio, a full service graphic design firm. She's a VERY charismatic model just as quick to provide a little comic relief to a shoot as she is to strike a fierce pose! Her long and slender physique coupled with her sharp wit keep her in high demand for print and runway projects. Nik'ol is currently a Signature Model for our model management division TRU Model Management. View more of Nik'ol here or visit TRU Model Management for booking!
