Smart: The new Sexy - - - Model Approved


I have to be painfully honest

Not too long ago, I asked a young woman what her goal was. She replied that she wanted to be fit and hot like me. Not only did I take a step back in shock, but I also remembered that it was not the first time I had heard someone tell me that was their goal in life.

Majoring in Sociology, I have learned a lot about how human interactions affect our decisions as a whole populace. I have seen demographics and cultures separate people because of their comfort zone and familiarity. I have studied the difference between men and women, specifically how both men and women react differently to situations.

In modeling, I have learned to do something similar. I have learned to adapt my look according to the casting call. I have been Caucasian, Brazilian, Latina, Spaniard, but never just myself, just Evina. I have dyed my hair blonde, gotten bigger boobs, and worked out endlessly at the gym over a period of years. I have learned to act like a Chicana with my Latin rooted family, but when I am around my boyfriend's family, I am no different than your pure bread Northridge Valley-Girl. As a model I have learned how to mimic my surroundings to be more approachable and accepted in either a current gig or future events. I probably wouldnt know how to do that just being fit and hot”… at least I wouldnt still have a career in modeling if I lived off my looks alone - without understanding how to adapt.

I responded to this young teenager very simply, From what I understand, being fit and hot are temporary fixes to an inner problem. What about getting an education? I hear that being smart is the new Sexy. To be honest, when a womans looks fade, all she has is her brain.

Check out, Joan Rivers she has had more plastic surgery than would be thought possible, but she is a smart and witty character. And you know what, she still has a job.

Many people will argue that people like Bill Gates didnt go to school. Yup, your right, that guy dropped out of college. BUT He was a supercalifragilisticexpialidociously genius. And that doesnt give you the ok to miss out on some pretty rad experiences in college.

Quick Backstory:  My experience has been that I started my education late because I honestly I made the decision to be hot rather than finish my education. Now dont get me wrong, my experience lead me to be where I am today, but if I had the chance to do it all over again I would have finished my schooling prior to my irrational teenage thinking.

Not sorry kids, but getting your education and reading a book is far hotter than taking half naked selfies saying youre a model with your duck lips.

Rant Over.

"I was gonna call you but...'


There has been more than one time where I have heard this in the last week.

My best friend and his girlfriend, before they had their baby, had to go to the hospital to deliver. I only knew that because her Facebook posted how depressed she was being alone. I called him to see what was up and if there was anything I could do…

“I was gonna call you, but I forgot.”

Another incident happened when I had enough texting a friend and decided to call him. He picked up and said, “I was gonna call you last week! But I got caught up in family.” Finally we continued a conversation that needed to happen, because of big details that needed to be discussed.

Last one…

A photographer friend of mine and I have been discussing plans for a while, and finally we want to make it happen. When I called to talk shop, he answered, “I was gonna call you but,…” I don’t even remember the reason, but only realized that I had heard it 3 times in the last week.

Not to mention the countless family members that barely keep in touch, or I hear about family death through text message. Whatever happened to just calling someone and talking their ear off for 10-15 or even an hour?

We are all a suspect of it. The advancement of technology is giving us a reason to be too busy, or act as if we are. I have been that person too. However…

Let us make a pact together, and call each other when we think about each other. When you think of your loved one or friend, that thought is put there for a reason. Follow that thought and pick up the phone and just have a chat. Allow yourself to get caught up in someone else’s life and stop doing it via Facebook… CALL THEM and stop trolling on their page or Instagram.

Opportunities to either be a better friend, loved one, or even a better employee involves getting personal in each other’s space. Don’t be afraid to call and break down that wall of fear or procrastination.

Be a better friend, a better worker, a better you.

We Care Fitness: Performance by Wil

Wil Del Pizzo and Evina Luna

                As both Wil and I sit around pondering ideas for new business ventures, we are trying to figure out new and better ways to keep ourselves busy and also motivate others.

“We Care Fitness?”

And there it was. It was almost silly how quickly it natural it came. The combination of both our names showed who and what we are and how we work. We were looking for something that showed our passion and love for another human being. We Care… because we do.

Our motto: Performance by Discipline, Performance by Desire, Performance by Wil.

The mission statement says it all: We Care Fitness is the functional training program with a friendly competitive group atmosphere designed to help you live longer and feel better by pushing through the “No Quit” Zone.
Saturday mornings with We Care!
 
Who are we? Wil and I have been together a little over four years. Our business, We Care Fitness, is only about a year and a half old. Wil has an extensive background in the training field. He is labeled as a performance enhancement specialist, strength and conditioning coach, muay thai practitioner, and a CNP Performance sponsored trainer. He also specialized in athletic sports training. His goal with We Care Fitness is to help his clients reach their maximum potential without extreme fad dieting or excessive working out.  However, if the client is looking for something more extreme in a work out, he does have the versatility to help empower his clients to reach their ultimate goal. Recently Wil has also opened himself up to online coaching. Helping people all over reach their fitness goals. Everything from kettlebells, powerlifting, battleropes to crossfit style workouts designed to maximize and maintain results. Athletes and bikini competitors alike ask for his help to achieve the fitness goals that they are looking for. He is currently training for a marathon so in the future he can coach future endurance athletes.
 

As for my position, I clearly don’t have the qualifications to be a personal trainer, but I have been working out long enough to know what bad form looks like. I may not be a dietitian, but I know what foods to eat. I am a sponsored athlete with CNP Performance and offer supplements for our clients to try.  I occasionally make appearances to our Saturday boot camps to help in any way I can. I focus on our marketing and reach out to people who are interested in a lifestyle change. With a background as a fashion and commercial model I know and understand little insecurities which bother us in our daily appearances. With my back ground both in Hawaiian Tropic Pageants and NPC bikini competitor, I can assist Wil with his coaching those who desire to compete as well. I use my sociology degree to help people think outside of themselves and push through that wall of insecurity.

We Care fitness is available for private training, group training, and online coaching. For group training We Care meets at Chatsworth Park North every Saturdays at 8:30am-9:30am (summer hours) at $10 per person. The last Sunday of the month we will offer free group training for anyone interested.

CeeJay Cassidy: Books are the new Black


When MySpace first became popular, I was confused when a friend request I received didn’t look like your ‘normal’ friend. A profile picture of what it looked to be a man in an S & M outfit of devil looking attire. Honestly, I didn’t pay to much mind to it when I had seen he was an author. I proceeded to read a little about him and as intimidating as his picture was, he was kind enough to send me a few of his books to read.

CeeJay Cassidy and I have been following each other’s journey since those under rated days of MySpace. Since I have got to known him, our support for each other has grown. Not only have I read the books that he has sent me, but I have related to his ‘characters’ he created. His books are filled with real life experiences that have made me cry and feel like ‘I am not alone’. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did, and please check him out on Kindle and Amazon!

What got you into writing? One day, as I turned 50, I was inspired to write my first novel. It was a story idea that I had 25 years before but didn’t follow up on. I wrote and self published my novel in less than a year although I say the novel took 25 years to write.

Who has influenced you as a writer? Strangely enough I was influenced to be a writer by films. To see the written word transformed into action fascinated me. I always loved a good story and always thought when I saw a bad movie with a poor plot; “I can do better than that!”

What influences do you get for your books? Oh dear! Here’s the proverbial ‘slippery slope’. My erotic novels are inspired by… well… you know! As for my horror novels, I get my inspiration from my nightmares Writing a novel or a script helps me cope with the visions I have.
 
What would you want people to know about your books? I write books that inspire emotion in my readers. I write characters in vague outlines so that my reader can fill in the blanks with their own personal experiences and have a more personal relationship with my characters. You read my novel and you have a feeling that you’re getting an intimate look into the life of a close friend. It’s almost like you’re reading their diary. Now here’s where the center of my writing and my career lies. One of my readers, who got a bootleg copy of my very first novel, contacted me to write her biography. I agreed but she asked that I keep her true identity a secret. It was an odd request, but when I found out she was a survivor of domestic violence, I understood why. We started the project but when the story turned to BDSM, I balked. I had no problem writing an erotic novel. I had no problem telling the story of a woman who endured and survived abuse; but BDSM? I didn’t think so. I was very conflicted. I went to speak to my pastor and ask his opinion. As I entered his study, he was in mid-conversation with his wife and said to her: “Lean not unto your own understanding!” I was hit by an epiphany by that Biblical quote. This novel wasn’t ‘about me’. It didn’t matter how I felt about the subject matter. It was a novel that had to be written and I was the writer with the proper skills to do the novel justice. I let ‘Katherine’ know that I would complete her bio and publish it. That breakout novel was ‘A Tortured Soul – The Unauthorized Biography of Nicholas Anderson’. I am proud to say that over 40 women have gotten out of or redefined their abusive relationships because of that novel. I cried when I got a letter from a reader telling me that my novel saved her life! I later wrote three more erotic novels of abused women based on actual events. (Friends of Katherine) I have also mentored other women to write their own stories of their trials and tribulation. My novels are raw, gritty and sensual. I do not mince words nor do I sugar-coat anything. It’s not my place to censor these women’s lives to make it easier for my readers to deal with. They didn’t have it easy by any means. It is what it is, and as Jennifer X would say: “Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!”

What books have you written? And can you post a link to the amazon site or web site. I have written four erotic biographies, three erotic fantasy novels and two horror novels.

My Image on Body

B&W Photo: 12 years old
Color Photo: Photo Credit Pinky Photography

From the very beginning as a little girl, women can all relate that we sometimes didn’t feel right in our skin. As a young girl, I was forced to were stupid dresses and have my hair a certain way. But when looking at my brothers, they slapped some jeans on and went on their way. I was told how cute I looked, and how cute my dress was. I would blush thinking to myself, “My brothers don’t get talked to this way.” I don’t think I was thinking feminist thoughts, I was thinking I was no different than my brothers. It wasn’t until recently which I read an article posted by a friend of mine on FaceBook, talking about how we influence little girls when we talk to them. Then it hit me, girls are molded to be something before they can even decide who they are.

As a model, I have always been made aware of my body image whether I liked it or not. When I first started modeling at the age of 12, I went to ‘Dorothy Shreve, Modeling and Talent Agency and School’, based out of Palm Springs. Dorothy was a great teacher; she not only taught the 101 in modeling, but also the ways to conduct yourself as an intelligent young woman. I was told that I never sit up straight, and that my posture was that of an annoyed teenage boy. I didn’t know how to use a place setting at a dinner table; she told me how important it was. She had also mentioned to me to pay attention in school, I just wanted to model. How I finally understand her now…

Skinny, awkward, and gangly, I still hated myself growing up. I wanted to hide in my shell when I was out in public or at school. I hated hearing how skinny I was and that I always should eat something. As a teenager, I ate everything. Anything, if it was moving I ate it. I can remember one year a girl saying to me, “Evina, your actually gaining weight, your legs actually are kinda jiggling. Or it could be the loose skin on your bones.” I could remember thinking to myself, “Why is my body important? I just want to have friends who don’t judge me.” I went on with my school days wondering, ‘why me?’

Now I know, ‘Why Me?”. I know that I was brought here through my struggle with my weight, both disorders and not, that I am here to bring up a topic every woman wants to debate or conquer. Through my years, I have learned to love myself no matter how weird I look. I have never really put someone in a corner and mirrored their weight in their face as a defining moment. I want to tell women out there that you don’t have to be blonde, skinny, black, curvy, or have a million operations (exaggerating) to feel pretty and sexy. You can be anything as long as you set your mind to it.

As a woman, I have felt anger every time someone has pointed out my thin frame and discredit their own body because they don’t look like me. Body image is our own inside job, our own insecurity; it belongs to you, not someone else. Now being in the fitness industry, the first thing I tell the women I work with is, “Your goal is not to look like me, and it’s to look and feel like a better you.” When I talk to women, I want to empower them… I don’t want them to feel less than, women are not. I have crossed many women who have lifted me up and threw me down, and the ones who have lifted me up are the ones who I keep.      

            With my experience now, I have learned that beauty is not souly dependent on what is on the outside of us, nor is it our body type, the diets we eat, or how we do our makeup, those are just accessories. Since I have started going back to school to finish my B.A., I have never felt this sexy and powerful in my life. I encourage women everywhere, to crack open a few books once and a while, take a class or two and take something you would never take in your life. Go to a library and sit quietly while picking up a book you have never read before. Stop reading ‘Fifty Shades of Grey” and pretending it’s you and go out and live a little. Call your girlfriends up and gossip… its ok we all do it. Take a walk, a hike, a bicycle ride, take a chance.

The Journey to Desert Models

Back again to writing after a long brief vacation and I am happy to announce that I have a very special company to not only be a part of, but to also talk about how amazing they are! Drum roll please.... DESERT MODELS AGENCY!
One thing to know about Desert Models Agency is that both the President Krystle Kelley and C.O.O. Terrah Holder (and I) have all been around since the time you had to mail your headshots to look for work. I now have beside me Krystle Kelley herself and will be asking her questions about both her experience as a model and what it takes to be a model in an overly saturated industry today.


What age did you start modeling and what was your first experience like? I had started modeling at the age 14 and my first experience was a fashion show in Mexico with Michael Costello. Which was also the first time both you and I met! It was a great learning experience about how to conduct yourself as a model and how to be prepared when you travel internationally.

Who was your biggest influence being a model? I guess, Claudia Schiffer and her work out video back in the 90's. She had a great white yoga outfit on and was doing about 1000 ab crunches! I just thought she was super inspirational.

What is Desert Models? Desert Models Agency is an elite, exclusive modeling agency headquartered in the Palm Springs Area. We represent Models and other Talent throughout the US, with special emphasis in the greater Los Angeles area. As an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced team, we ensure our talent is sent out on only the most legitimate and best opportunities in their field. Clients that book through us are ensured of receiving only the most professional, experienced talent, at the top of their game. At Desert Models, we believe that local businesses, such as ours, play an important role in shaping their communities. Accordingly, we maintain a strong level of involvement in community outreach initiatives. We dedicate significant time with resources to inspire the youth and improving our community. We encourage our talent to demonstrate the same amount of public service initiative and community outreach.

What would you say has changed in the modeling industry that has effected you as both a model and a business owner? The internet. It is considered a double edged sward. It can be a great thing or it can destroy you. TFP has also been another factor in the business which has lead models to believe that they have no worth or they want to just get a free photo for their FaceBook profile, which also effects photographers business too. Another thing I see is that people have to do degrading things in order to get attention. Reality Shows, YouTube, are not making supermodels anymore. But if a great looking girl wants attention, she has to do a sex tape to get any. I feel this puts women in a position to be powerless. Supermodels were powerful in the 90's, even with their character defects.

What kind of advice would you give an aspiring model? I would let them know to always come prepared to an audition. I always see girls who come over dressed or just out of character. Less is more for a model, and I don't mean clothes... that's another mistake. Girls and guys, wear appropriate professional, and stylish clothing to an audition. Also, when coming to an audition, HAVE A PORTFOLIO OR COMP CARD! I can't tell how a model shoots with out a picture. From a naturally shot picture I can tell how you shoot and if you're marketable. And TFP (Trade for Print) is fine if your just starting out or you enjoy working with a specific photographer, but you get what you paid for. Know who the models are, by checking out www.models.com. Once you know who the top ten models are and there looks you will know what look is in to be able to market yourself.

And last question... What foot goes first when you put on your pants? (Side Note: We ran to my room to find out) Both my feet go in first!

Thanks again Krystle Kelley for sharing your wonderful experience and classy style!

J. Stemmer Photo Shoot, Third time is a charm!

During the Father's Day weekend of this year, I went to the desert to visit my dad and saw that I actually had some free time to shoot. I really wanted to get a new shoot up and running before the rest of the summer knowing I knowing I wasn't going to make it out for the rest of the summer. I was able to contact Joe Stemmer on simi short notice and shot two ideas his way. With great luck, he was available and we booked a time and date and made it happen. Again, my time with him was perfect. If there is any photographer (and there are many) who I enjoy working out in the desert (Palm Springs area) it's him. Although I had some tech difficulties, he still was ever so patient and prompt with getting the photos back to me in a super fast time frame! I wanted to do something nice for him by showing his side of the story of what it's like from behind the lens of the camera. I interviewed him with a few questions based on his success, difficulties, and experience. Please take the time and read a little from his side! He is truly a talented photographer and his star should shine ever so bright! 1. History of J. Stemmer photography. When did you get the photo bug? I started taking photos early, I was about 18 years old. I enjoyed it, but it was expensive buying film, processing film, and making prints. So, I started taking jobs doing portraits for people. I started the portraits with a 2 1/4 Agfa folding camera, the larger negative would give me better prints than my 35mm I used for most things. That also got me started in the "larger negative" search. I've shot with 35mm to 11"x 14" cameras. Today, I'm digital, but still have (and use occasionally) a couple 4x5 cameras. I still love seeing the image upside down on the ground glass and the controls you have with view cameras. 2. What has been your biggest obstacle in becoming a successful photographer? Like many occupations, staying current in the techniques or styles the people want. Using the right equipment or the current processes to get the looks. Also running a business doing something you love, you need to be able to separate your work from fun. As examples, the digital process has made it easy (and cheap) to shoot anything without consideration of cost. With film, you really had to want the photo to hit the shutter, each time you did, it cost you money. To an extent, digital photography's a great thing. What it doesn't do is force people to learn their craft. I love film, but I have no desire to back to it in business. 3. What has helped you in your continued success? I'm always learning, staying current with the things needed to compete in a very tough business. Whether photo equipment, computer software, or technique, you have to stay ahead of the curve if you want to succeed. 4. What qualities and characteristics do you look for in a model? I look for their ability to act. Modeling is acting one frame at a time. You can usually look at a models portfolio and tell what they're capable of by looking at their face. It takes lots of practice and hard work to be good model. A lot of people what to be models but aren't prepared for the work, being a tall, thin, good looking person doesn't guaranty success in modeling. Models need to be able to "sell" the look and that hard. 5. Describe your experience with our last photo shoot (please be honest: good, bad, ugly): That's pretty easy. It was wonderful to shoot with you, you always give 110%. You arrived ready to go on time, knew what you wanted to shoot, and gave me the looks immediately. Even though it was very hot and muggy, you didn't slow down. Even with the concept I wanted to shoot, you gave more than I hoped for. You're one of my favorite models to shoot with because you work to get amazing results and we don't need all day to get them. We shoot a lot of looks in a short amount of time, that shows you're a true professional.
6. Most embarrassing photography story... :) Gosh, there are too many. Driving a couple of hours to a location and forgetting an important piece of gear (helps me be more creative), labs losing or ruining film that couldn't be shot again, going to a shoot a day early or week early, walking in on models "collaborating" on a personal level, hearing some of the information people share at shoots (about their body parts), or maybe the time I had a long day of shooting and only had time to grab a large burrito for late dinner and paid for it the second day of the shoot. I shot with long lenses that day. :) I again hope that you find this short interview as informative as I did. If you want to further your research about Mr. Joe Stemmer please refer to his web site at www.JStemmerPhotography.com.
Hugs, Love, and Honesty, Evina
