My Interests

High Fashion On The Red Carpet At The NAACP Image Awards


NAACP Image Awards Week In LA

I have been overwhelmed by the wonderful reception, I've received here in Myspace. There are so many beautiful, positive, engaging, Black folk here in Myspace. I have been humbled by this experience (smile)

My comments page is full of kind, encouraging, words of praise...thank you all. But I am not unique. There are many Digital Drummers, residing within the confines of this online community. They are putting out valuable, and empowering posts/messages everyday.

In the four short months that I've been on Myspace, I have found almost 1,500 new friends. Most are models/entertainers, but surprisingly enough, a majority are working professionals; filmmakers, talent agents/managers, photographers, writers, publicist, radio personalities, music producers, entertainment lawyers, and of course computer technicians and web designers. My experience here in Myspace has validated the old saying about there being "Two Degrees of Separation" between what you need, and the person that wants to help you get it. So I want to try something new (smile)

I'm calling it "Fresh Faces". Every week I will rotate a new set of online friends in my Top 20. I'm asking (in the spirit of networking) industry professionals to post public comments on my choices. I want the public to see the quantity, and variety, of industry professionals here in Myspace.

What these ladies have developed here online, could far surpass the traditional modeling and fashion community. They are Creating New Products, Developing New Markets, and Generating New Sources of Revenue.... Look at the history of Hip-Hop and then compare it to this new phenomenon of online modeling.

Rule six in business; wherever there's a crowd, there's Money! If only we would network and work together, we could have the traditional modeling and fashion community come running to our door...just like they did to Hip-Hop!

"Fresh Faces" is intended to identify new online talent, and the industry professionals that could help make their career!

Please review my "Friends" and make a public comment,

Life On The Red Carpet
