A Taste of Mary

Never allow anything or anyone to rob you of your ability to shine! Matt 5:14-16

About Me

You may have seen her blossoming in any of these gardens: Leggs Smooth Silhouettes, Oil of Olay, Cover Girl, L’Oreal Paris, De Beers Diamonds, Lands End Swimwear, Dr. Scholl’s, Academy Sports & Outdoors, Oshmans Sporting Goods, Nike, Prada, NASA-Look of the Future Cyber girl 2000, David’s Bridal Extravaganza & “Madame Butterfly”.
Cool SlideshowsThis beautiful flower studied at The School for Film & Television @ Three of Us Studios NY. There's a lot of great information that can be posted here, but she'd much rather make new history that out-shines the rest....Mary *Michelle* Richard, a native Houstonian, is the youngest of 4 children born to Paul and Beverly Richard. At the tender age of four she began pageantry and modeling. Although this was very challenging for a young “tom-boy” who’d much rather make mud pies, shoot hoops- a beebee gun or practice a “figure-four leg-lock” with her older brother, her mother could talk her into an occasional style show.

Get Your Own! | View SlideshowWhen Mary made the varsity cheerleading squad her first try-out, it was a free ticket to all of the games! This was heaven to a die-hard sports fan.
Cool SlideshowsShe was the only cheerleader to make history in that she’d sprint up to the announcer’s booth moments before the half to perform the commentation written by Mary herself. {other times eloquent improvisation}..

It wasn’t until sweet 16 that Mary became remotely interested in the world of glamour. Her high school principal made it mandatory for girls to dress up once a week, and EUREKA- it worked!!

My Interests

The Sunny Side & South Park communities of Houston, TX. need a lot of loving attention. While evangelism has been tested and proven to be a faithful strategy, so has the entertainment industry and "Corporate America". The challenge is finding the middle ground. That’s where it becomes more and more evident that Mary was born for such a time as this.Get Your Own! | View SlideshowHer vision of a radiant city surpasses "the hood"- It extends across the globe, nation by nation. Coming from a family background of cultural fusion, various talents and deep roots in Christianity, it is fathomable why Mary believes her dream can become a sterling reality if everyone does their part. Her philosophy is that we are like a puzzle of hearts that form one heartbeat. This drives her to encourage others to get in where they fit in… survival of the fittest. A fish out of water can’t swim! While the creative tide is peak, it’s time to earnestly team up, pooling recourses so that “Hands Across America” will walk right off the sheet music and actually take on the life so patriotically lyricised in the song! Surf’s up; catch the wave and that’s the point!

I'd like to meet:
