My name is Lalena, and I am of Mexican, Italian and Afro-American heritage. I'm from Long Island, NY but have been living in Northern Delaware since 1/04. I have a full time job I love and that keeps me busy, and have been modeling in my spare time for over a year and a half. I've loved posing for the camera since before I could even walk and finally decided to pursue my passion!
I'm an entertainer by nature, and by trade-model, dancer, singer and promotions. I love to perform, be in front of the camera, and entertain a crowd! I have experience in event, club and product promotions, fashion shows, car shows, videos and was featured in a local magazine's Spring 07 fashion issue. I was a member of The ICON Model Group in Delaware from Jan-Aug 07 and a member of S Bleue Models of Delaware/Philadelphia from Sept 07-May 08. I've been a party dancer/MC for corporate events and bar/bat mitvahs in the Baltimore/DC/Northern VA area for 3 1/2 years.
I am looking for paid work and my rates are very reasonable. I would like to expand my portfolio and to try new and creative ideas. My interests and ability for work are extremely versatile, but I am not open to any type of nudity or fetish work. I'm most interested in fashion, glamour, catalogs, magazines, print work, calendars, fashion/hair shows, music videos and event promotions. I am willing to travel to Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington DC, New York City, Long Island and other surrounding areas depending on the assignment.
