Check out the interview I shot with Nigel Barker from America's Next Top Model, talking about the new season and a bit about him
Nigel Barker (ANTM) and yours truly
The fabulous "Miss J" Alexander Runway coach from America's Next Top Model, showing how a girl should stand up straight and pay attention. Are you standing up straight? Are you paying attention? Good, then please watch the short beauty video links below. After that you can be dismissed.
Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight
Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead
Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are
So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl

I love the videos on your page. I most of the time feel like the ugly duckling & wishes I were "smaller", "taller", "tanner",etc. Those videos made me tear up and made me realize that the media is putting it into the younger generations minds that us women are to be a certain size, shape, color, figure. Thank you for taking the time to try and make a difference in someone's life everyday. Today you made one in mine (:

No woman should feel the need to judge themselves on how another woman looks or the way commercial media portrays women. We all have our own unique beauty...I think its about time we accept who we are. Whether its tall and thin, or short and thin, a woman with meat on her bones or just the average woman next door. Short hair/ long hair, big feet/little feet. None of that matters...its the person on the inside that does.

I have 4 daughters ...ages 12, 10, 7, and 5. All have different body types. The 12 year old is having a very difficult time. The 10 year old is tall, thin, and wants to be "America's Next Top Model" (I swear I did not encourage that). She also was born with a "deformed" although we call it "special" arm. The 7 year old cries when she tries on clothes because she says she's too fat (I swear we don't use that word in our home..nor do we use "diet".)
I can not tell you how much emotion poured from me as I viewed your video clips and read your profile. I've been a supporter of the Dove campaign from day one and have not seen these videos. My daughters will see them tonight.
Please accept my friend request, so I can continue to visit your site and feel the love and inspiration for the cause that I feel so strongly about.... to change the definition of beauty in our culture.
Thank you.

I absolutely love your work! One thing that stood out to me was the modesty of many of your shots. That's really hard to find nowadays. Im new to modeling and it seems that everyone who has offered me an opportunity just wants a sexual nudity shot. Its something im determined not to succumb to. I have respect for myself. I used to be one of those little dove girls with huge self esteem issues and hating many things about myself. But ive learned to love myself. Im unique! Hispanic, black, short and beautiful!! Hopefully one day we can work together!

The videos on your profile are truly inspiring. My younger sister [7] has self esteem issues, saying that she's too fat, she has a big forehead, and "bug eyes" when the truth is, she has an adorable little figure with round, beautiful green eyes. I plan on showing her the videos you have so that she can understand that she IS beautiful. Thank you for that.
I remember that I used to have self esteem problems for a couple years. I was told when I was about twelve years old [the first time I wanted to model] that I needed to lose a good ten pounds. I was twelve, thin as a twig, and didn't understand how I could possibly be fat. I'd let it get to me, but when I hit high school, I realized that - hey - I'm beautiful. My mother is beautiful. My sisters are beautiful. All of my friends are beautiful. And we all are in our own ways, each with our different bodies. Thank you.

Another comment from a MM member/model
I watched the dove videos and they truly touched me. I was so filled up with emotion so fast. I've always been told that I was too short, too fat, had flawed skin and all that nonsense. But as I grew up I realized that I was beautiful no matter what people thought of me. We've come to the point in time where women have to be perfect but honestly, what's the beauty in that? We are perfect exactly the way we are. So I wanted to say thank you for helping those young ladies out there realize how beautiful they truly are. You have a good heart.
Love the people and pets you have around you, one day they will be gone.
In modeling, keep it clean.......later in life you will be glad you did.
