HELLO from New York Model Mom

Here goes my first blog......" drum roll".... please   For me this is a dream come true being  able to put my adventures in writing and let the world know exactly what it entails to be a model mom of 3 in NYC. This is what Model Life is about, and I am honored to be blogging for this amazing editorial, Model Life Magazine.
I am a NY model mom turned self proclaimed Child stylist.  As you follow me in my journey to stardom you will need to know the stars:
Michael age 11
Tristen age 9
and Paige age 8

And of course my son Johnnie who started the madness many moons ago is turning 24 ( & single ) :-)
I love my Job, and I love the NY industry with over 20 year experience and many success stories along the way  I have a lot to say!!
 I have been on thousand's of go-see's , auditions , jobs and every snap of the camera, or walk down the runway I am making dreams come true  for not only my kids but anyone who asks.

I think my all time favorite story is that of a little girl Andora,  I was in LA. at a pageant ( yep I'm a pageant mom too) when i turned around and saw this little beauty on a tour bus of Hollywood ( ironic right) .  I said to my friend , who is that . ....her mom replied to me " that's my kid Andora:.  I said wow she is pretty, where do you live??? Her dad chimes in like " ok lady what are you trying to sell us" ' UMMM Pennsylvania" .  I said " well today is your lucky day"  they looked puzzled and definitely skeptical     I said I am a NY model scout and I think your daughter could be a  model, hmm the dad says.  Lets see what this lady has to offer , I told him I was the real deal, he still seemed cautious  but they followed up with me and I'm pretty sure they believe me now;-)  1 month later Andora was  one of NY's top 10 year old print models and recently booked a national GNC commercial!!  We are not only with the same agency but are great friends and someone I consider part of my modeling family.   I believe in helping kids achieve their dreams & have helped many along the way.  The great white way that is, stay tuned for more stories and follow our journey from the streets of NY to magazines, TV and maybe one day the big screan.

Shoot for the moon, & even if you miss you'll land among the stars......( author unknown)
