19)How do you prepare for a modelling shoot ?

Preparing for a modelling shoot is vital to every model ..... Preparing my self not much have to be done it first begins with a positive mindset and I always set and exciting mood for my self so I can surround my photographer, Make up artist and others with Positive Energy so that the outcome result is what we expected and more.

20)What does Fashion means to you ?

 

In my own Words  fashion helps you express 'yourself' and therefore it should always be based on what you find interesting - and no one else!  Fashion is an expression of one's inner self and not a reflection of every one's expectation of what should be expressed. The land of true fashion is a lion's den and you better know what you're up against before throwing yourself into the roaring dungeon of darkness! Okay, maybe that's a bit overboard but hey, you've seen the movies, (the one true source )- the fashion world is brutal and people's understanding and definition of fashion is even more scary.

Basically because it's always about what everyone else is wearing when really; people should see themselves as canvases, each one made for a masterpiece and who wants to enter a gallery where you would swear the artists just pasted and copied each other? I couldn't even be paid to enter that gallery (okay let's be honest, I'm a poor student and if the pay is good I'll set the mood! lol just kidding)!
I think that fashion should be seen as something that represents a rhythm but the steps we choose to move to the music with, should be our own- we should move freely and not bound to the must-have-lists. Because seriously, nothing is as refreshing as seeing someone walk down the street in their own little world of awesomeness! So why so scared to stand out, don't be a slave to what the trend pages say - and if you have to, be inspired not numbed and brainwashed to become a 'fashslave'- different is brilliant and who knows, you could absolutely be walking down the street spreading your little share of awesomeness with your genuine uniqueness. That's my FASHION Theory.

21)What are a few things women do that makes you mad?

Taking care of your self and your body is  the best Gift we can give our self and when I see a woman who is  not taking care of her body MAD is not a word to describe how I feel.

22)If you was to go to the beach what would you wear bikini......one piece.......a thong?

Bikini.....

23)How has Modelling change other aspect of your Life ?

Modelling in my terms has broaden my entire aspect on life because  in this industry there are both negative an positive arenas however settling for the positive it has allowed me to show may emotion let out feelings be free. Allow me to think outside the box and to be open minded individual also in meeting new people it has allow me to broaden my knowledge to become a wiser person in that case modeling had done a lot and still is......

24)Any last words for our many readers?

If you're and Aspiring Model:

Modelling is not something you wake one day and just decide you want to do it is something u develope a love for  you don’t  have to be 5 9 or more to be a model don’t let youre height  stop you because guess what there are short promotion Models also its not necessary  your weight must be 120  keep in mind big girls can be fabulous  models as well… so you have to read a lot on what is going in the fashion world ask questions take part in events that you know for a fact will build you rself estem ask questions and most importantly  never dull you shine for anyone else for you are the only one that knows your dream don’t just follow it like twitter --- keep retwiting and chase those dreams down for the reward would be marvellous and of your benefit !

To  the General Readers thanks for taking the time to Read my Blog I hope that you all enjoyed Reading ........Look out For more of me CARIBBEAN WOMAN -RUTH AUGUSTINE XOXOX   FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AS I SAID ITS LIKE YOUR IN THE TWITTER WORLD !!! SAD TO LEAVE BUT I HAVE TO GO!!!!

Ms Shantal Rosales speaks with the Fashion Police

1) Please tell us who you are and what you do for those not familiar with you?

My name is Shantal Rosales. I am a free lance writer and photographer born in Los Angeles, California, I currently live near Nashville, TN. I have been married 23 years and have a 19 year old son. I am moving to Dominica later this year to open a modeling agency and attend medical school.

2)What word best describe you as a person?

Intrepid

3) When not working what do you enjoy doing for fun?

For most of my life I have been an avid horsewoman but once settled in Dominica I plan to pursue my life long dream of becoming a certified scuba diver.

4) What is one thing you just can't leave the house without?

Mascara!!

5) Do you think your a true representation of a today's woman

I don't know, I have had a life long difficulty with fitting completely into any role or category.

6) What music would bring you to the dance floor to shake that booty?

Reggae, Hip Hop or R&B

7) If their was one Caribbean island you could visit right now where would it be and why?

Dominica of course! It has captured my heart completely!

8) What do you think of Fashion Police News Blog?

I love it and I never fail to be inspired by it's originality and uniqueness. There is never a boring read on this blog!!

9) What are your 4 fashion tips?

<Blushing> I don't feel qualified to give fashion advice but here goes:

1. Flaunt your best attributes confidently and tastefully, never wear something that is the equivalent of a "for sale" sign.

2. Always dress appropriately for every individual occasion or event, it is all to common to see girls wearing night club type attire to a funeral or job interview.

3. Understand, embrace and remain loyal your own personal style, don't blindly follow fashion trends.

4. Everyone should have a full length mirror in their house and give it an honest (but not overly critical) look stepping out the door. 

10) We understand you would love to have a modeling agency in Dominica tell us about that and why?

Because I honestly feel that the unique beauty of these people is one of this island's greatest untapped resources. I would like to use my talents in photography and my eye for the photogenic face to better the lives of people and bring recognition and hopefully and economic boost to this magnificent young nation.

11)What makes a man a true gentleman?

A man who truly enjoys the company of women and see them first and foremost as equal human beings. A true gentleman is a man that can participate in an intelligent, thought provoking discussion, taking a sincere interest in the issue at hand and in your views, opinions and related life experiences. A true gentleman's manners are not an act but instead sincerely rooted in his deep rooted love for all women whether he is romantically interested in them or not.

12) If you had to invite the fashion police reporters for dinner what would you cook them?

Hmmmm....perhaps one of my favorite meals, sauteed sea scallops, rice pilaf and steamed asparagus with a crisp Sauvingon Blanc! For dessert, my grandmother's Irish trifle and cappuccino with a shot of Bailey's Irish Creme!

13)What do you think of women in the past and women now?

I think modern women have a lot to learn from certain women in the past. They need to learn to love and appreciate men for the amazing being they are. Of course there are bad men out there, but there are many good ones too. Women today are too cynical and outright aggressive in their dealings with men. Being a bitchy man hater is counterproductive to success. My grandmother, who raised me, was an inspector in the highest, most top secret level of national defense. She was the lone woman in an all male world and they had they highest respect for her because she had respect for herself and also for them. Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt were two other prominent women from the past that were widely respected by men for the same reasons.

14) If you had the chance to do a shoot with anyone of your choice who would it be and why?

Iman!! I never tire of looking at photos of her! It is far more than just her stunning beauty, it is her regal presence and the powerful intelligence in her eyes. There will never be another like her.

15)What do you think of size zero models?

I think it is a disturbing, demeaning trend that has run it's course and needs to be replaced with an image that portrays a strong, fit, healthy, intelligent, empowered woman fully in control of her own destiny!

16 )Is there any agencies in Dominica if not how do you plan to show that Dominica has great models?

I am not aware of any modeling agencies on the island currently. I plan to show the world that Dominica has great models by achieving success!! Simple as that!!

17)Describe in your own words what true beauty is?

True beauty is self love and self knowledge without vanity. It is about knowing who you are and where you come from and fully embracing every aspect of that! 

18) What are some things some ladies do that makes you mad?

There are two main things that come to mind and they are intertwined with each other. Insecurity and jealousy. I am been happily married 23 years and one of the main reasons for our happiness is that we are both secure about ourselves and about our relationship. We TRUST each other. We both have friends of the opposite sex and that is very healthy. I do not like the fact that many women cannot appreciate another woman's beauty without feeling jealous and/or threatened. This jealousy is ALWAYS rooted in their own insecurity. 

19) If there was one thing you could change about the fashion world what would it be?

As I mentioned earlier, I'd like to see a more powerful and positive image of women and also of men. Personally, I am pretty tired of advertising images featuring too thin models that look sickly, spaced out and even miserable. I want the models from my agency to turn heads by glowing with an aura of health and physical strength and staring into the camera with pride, intelligence and (gasp) JOY!! 

20) Any last words to our blog readers?

The world's greatest Irish dancer, Michael Flatley once said something in an interview that I will never forget. He said: "If you can see your life's dream in your mind with pure clarity and in full color and you possess the courage to pursue that dream, it will become a reality".

21) Do you believe in the saying blondes have more fun?

Of course not!! I am after all a READHEAD!! Ha, ha....

Former Ms England Rachel Christie Speaks to the Fashion Police

1)Please tell us who you are and what you do for those who are not familiar with you?

My name is Rachel Christie and I was crowned the 'First Black Miss England'.

2)What best 3 words describe you as a person?

three words thats best describe me is One ina Million!

3)What made you compete in the Miss England pageant?

I decided to compete in the Miss England competition because i was scouted for modelling quite a lot from a young age, and thought id just give it a go! I also had issues with my confidence, I wasn't confident growing up, so i just plucked up the courage to throw myself in front of hundreds of people half naked (in a bikini) and thought "what have i got to lose". it was a great experience over all and winning helped me with my confidence too.

4)Did you ever think one day you would be wearing the Miss England crown?

When i entered Miss England, there were so many girls who had been preened and pruned for the competition, and being an athlete i  was a girl who hardly ever wore makeup and was so in to sports, i had also been in a pretty bad car crash the day before and had a slight black eye and whiplash, so i didn't ever imagine i would ever be the winner of Miss England. When i won i was in complete shock!

5)What did you learn from being in the contest?

I wouldn't say i have learned anything from being in the competition, but it made me so proud of who I am, and I had a lot of encouragement and brilliant support from everyone especially the black community and that made me so happy. i've always believed in 'being yourself' because your true colours show sooner or later when you put on an act, and most of the girls were 'acting' and i suppose the judges could see straight through it.

6)What one thing cant you leave home without?

I cant ever leave home without....lip gloss! or just something to go on my lips, theres nothing worse than having dry lips, yuk! 

7)What would make the former Miss England running to the dance floor to shake her booty?

wow! theres so many songs im loving at the moment, and i love all types of genres of music, but the one that just makes me dance even if im in a mood has got to be Rihanna 'We Found Love' i love it!

 

8)What are your 3 fashion tips you live by?

My three fashion tips are..... 

1.If im showing my legs on a night out, I don't reveal too much on top

2.I always try to have a bit of individuality in my outfits

3.I love wearing heels and stilettos when i'm out they accentuate the legs and i like to embrace my height.

9)What advice would you have for aspiring ladies who would also love to compete in pageants? 

The advice I would give to ladies who aspire to compete in beauty pageants is to just go for it! i would also say even though it 'is' a competition to just have fun, if you get too serious and you think you've won it already it will spoil the experience (if its your first time) and if you don't win you'll not be happy! and as destiny child once said "if at first you don't succeed, pick yourself up and try again" go in to these competitions with individuality.

10) If you was given 2 tickets to attend any 2 other pageants which 2 would you go to and why?

 

If I was given 2 tickets to attend two other beauty pageants it would be...Miss Jamaica and Miss G.B 

11)What do you enjoy doing when your free?

I have a pretty busy schedule at the moment with training and looking after my baby! So in my free time i like to have 'me' time and that consists of beauty treatments, like having my nails or hair done or even just sitting down watching TV!

12)Are you single/married/relationship?

Yes I'm in a relationship and have been for nearly 3 years now.

13)Describe in your own words what true beauty is?

I think True beauty is an inner reflection of happiness.

14)What makes a man a real gentleman in your eyes?

A real gentleman is someone who respects women and never stops trying to show a girl how much she means to him, even after he's got her. 

15)If you was put into the kitchen to prepare a meal for the fashion police news reporters what meal what you prepare and why?

I would make you Jerk Chicken and rice! I make my Jerk marinade from scratch, I love West Indian food and I enjoy cooking it.  

16)If you was given the power to change the fashion world what would you change and why?

I wouldn't change anything about the fashion industry, but I would definitely put more black and asian girls on the runway and have a curvy range of models too, skinny girls aren't the only girls who wear clothes! 

17)What are your thought on size zero models and women with curves on the catwalks/bill boards?

I think that size zero models are uncomfortable to look at. Its ok to be slim and healthy, but to be size zero is unhealthy, its women who are pressurised in to being skinny and it has gone over board. when young girls watch fashion shows and see underweight women, they think that that must be beautiful if there on a catwalk, but its seriously unhealthy and dangerous. I think the fashion industry need to promote more women who are more curvy! 

18)If you was granted to do a photo shoot with 4 people of your choice from the uk who would you choose and why?

I would love to do a photo shoot with Naomi Campbell, because she is my idol in the fashion industry. I would also want to do a shoot with Jessica Ennis who's a heptathlete for Great Britain,Romeo from so-solid crew because even after like 9years! I still fancy him, and Catwalk Professor because he's just amazing!   

19)What perfume you love most?

I love 'Black Orchid' by Tom Ford 

20)If you had to attend a red carpet event and had to choose one designer to wear who would you choose and why?

Lorena Sarbu and Victoria Beckham there dresses are elegant and sexy.
