"A model has to create moods, You have to be careful not to get stuck in a mood - emotions have trends just like fashion...I become whatever your eye wants to see. It's my job.” - Gia Marie
If you think you recognize me, it's probably from promotions. I have been a "Miller Lite" girl, a "Corona Bunny", an "Absolut model" etc. I've worked promotions for MTV2, Nintendo's Fusion Tour, Carlos Mencia's Comedy Central Tour, Keith Urbans most recent Tour and more. I was on the original Q-tease team for the Q103 radio station. I am a former Hooters Girl, and I also used to bartend and perform choreographed dances at CHEERS in colonie. I just joined the Ice Mice, the AHL River Rats' Cheer/Dance team in Feb 2010.
I've been a promotional model for over five years.
I have also had experience with other aspects of modeling including runway/fashion shows and artist's model. For the majority, I only accept paid work, however for the right project/photographer I will accept TFP/CD.
I am not interested in nudes.
I like to do more than 'pretty pictures'. I want to create killer concepts, I love artistic quality, editorial images get me every time.
The more original and artistic, the better! I love working on projects with an advertising edge or creative theme.
Make me think
I prefer to meet a photographer first and check out references.
I love to dance and I LOVE a great workout!
If it's unique, creative and inspiring, it's what I want to do!
I was formally trained in Cosmetology at Albany VoTec and received my temporary license after 1000 hours of schooling. I did not go on to get licensed by the state, but I am well-able to do my own hair and make-up.
However, I'm also very open to new styles and trying something different, so I also enjoy working with an MUA.
I have a unique look and style and I'm easy to work with.
I'm always open to suggestion, critique and possibility.
I'm not perfect!

Please remember that I have a career and my schedule is very busy. I will get back to you as soon as I can and my availability is somewhat limited. I do occasionally travel!
