Saw a huge ad for GUESS at the NY Stock Exchange today

Btw, today I was stopping by my favorite cobbler Mina's shoe repair. (They have shops on 67 Wall (between Hanover St & Pearl St and on 40 Exchange Place.)

I often go to 40 Exchange Place and see Mina's wife, she is so sweet. She even came to my book party for my graphic novel Model Life.

Seriously, I pound the pavement of NYC, I always bust up my shoes, and the best shoe repair in NYC: Minas Shoe Repair I am there often actually, I might to see you there.  I used to actually live at 63 Wall, and now I don't but I do hike over to the area just to get my shoes fixed :)

After I dropped off my shoes, I walked past the NY Stock Exchange and I saw this GUESS ad. kinda cool.


~Isobella

P.s: Also aren't these navy Nina shoes so cute!
I would so rock!  I like my shoes to have a personality of their own.

Overcoming issues with height and modeling agencies

A girl on Facebook recently asked me how overcoming issues with height and modeling agencies:
How would you recommend I handle a situation with an agency where they only hire models that are 5'6" and taller for print and for leg modeling they use models 5'9" and taller? When the agency told me, I immediately let them know that I have a 33 inch inseam (which is similar to what 5'9" models have). I told her that I'm all legs. She still wasn't convinced because her clients request models that are 5'9" and taller for legs. I felt really defeated because my legs are just as long and thin and shapely as a taller model, but she got caught up on the 5'5" thing. I felt like I did at combating her statements with my positives, but it didn't seem to work. What would you have recommended I do in that situation?


My reply might inspire your own pursuits as a model:
 
I work with print agencies in NYC and often I have been told, attend this casting or hold this date for a shoot, and then the agency will write back and say, nevermind they went with someone taller. So. It happens, it is a part of using what you have to get ahead, sometimes what you have it not what they want. Modeling is a business of rejection, so I would strive to work with agencies that see your assets, know your real height but are willing to work with what you have, and agencies that are able to feel confident in you and themselves enough to market you despite your lack of some inches. The agent probably doesn't feel confident in herself to push you to convince the client you are just as good for the job, this is an agency that doesn't fully believe in you or herself.

An agent puts her own reputation on the line when she markets her models, but it sounds like this agency is very concerned about “sticking to what the client wants” (which is good) but it means that the agency won’t send anything less than what the client desires. This mindset means that sending you would put her at risk, her reputation. Therefore ,I would strive to work another agency, one that understands you are short, but doesn't dwell on height as much as your  other assets.

(And make sure your photos show off your other assets, and if it is your legs, make sure the photos look like ads for products involve legs, skincare ad, shaving ad, shoe ad.)

I am a shorter, the shortest perhaps, leg model ever! Yet my legs have been used in magazines and campaigns, because I showed in my modeling pictures that my legs are an asset for modeling products, shoes, etc….and maybe they were not used in a high end fashion editorial in Vogue but I have modeled shoes and products with my legs for many brands and magazines. Also, it sounds like you are targeting yourself to agencies that only care about height and measurements (fashion agencies) and not the model's other assets...It is tough to change these types of “measurements mean all” mindsets...so I'd keep hunting for another agency (print agencies). ~Isobella

Stopped by Alisha Trimble's Blanche DuMois Lingerie presentation today

This afternoon I met with Alisha Trimble, the designer of Blanche DuMois Lingerie, instead of a formal runway show the models were in an alley wall beside a boutique on Mulberry Street, just chilling, hanging out, in delicate, flirty pieces of the Blanche DuMois Lingerie collection. It was cool because I got to get closer to the collection this way and see the details and get some in-the-moment-model shots.

Alisha told me the collection was inspired by the work of Tennessee Williams and that one of his books was sitting around the models.

I asked her how she casts her models, she said she looks for more than beauty; she looks for intelligence and the uniqueness in the models.

All of the girls had different looks, a few flaunted their tattoos and the models were different ethnicities as well, which I liked to see. Of course when I introduced my self and told them about my blog and advocating for girls of all sizes (an especially pint-size girls) I asked the models, “Which one of you is the shortest?!”

And this one said she was probably the shortest one. Another girl admitted to being 5’7”1/2.









It was cute.



























I like the little shorts that had garters. Sexy!

















Also the bows and cutness entwined into the sexy lines of Alisha’s designs were eye catching in a sincere and sensual way that would make a girl feel alluring and beautiful. ~Isobella

WWD features Itty Bitty Bra-if your boobies are small like mine

Hi Girls,

Sometimes when I am wearing a strapless bra I find that is starts to fall down, and I discreetly push the bra up, and feel myself, to feel secure. Almost all of my close girlfriends know this weird trademark action of mine. I wear a 32B. I can wear an A sometimes as well. In WWD today there was a nice plug for ITTY BITTY BRAS, which I am checking out right now. You should too if your boobies are small like mine.


This strapless bra stood out.





they have sizes 32A-38B



~isobella



P.s: another source for small bra's is Lula Lu Lingerie and also The Little Bra Company.

At a modeling casting...

At a casting, no matter how small or basic the item you are modeling is, treat it like it is something precious and of value. Even if it’s just a paperclip. As a model you are really working in the business of advertising and marketing, and these days so many products need a hand to hold them. Why not let it be yours?

~from my new book coming soon called Short Stuff.

Favorite little things featuring Sobral clutch!



I was walking through SoHo last week meeting a friend and I stopped by this cute store on West Broadway called Sobral USA. What prompted me to stop in the store were the very cute handbags set up by the window. WOW!

In the store I saw a similar clutch to the Tarsila clutch, shown above, all the bags are made of multi-colored light weight resin.

Holding this bag people will talk, ask you about it, and wonder where did you get that?!

I fell in love. Sobral just became one of my favorite little things.

Day in the life of a short model and her legs, feet, hands and body

Had a casting today for a commercial for legs, feet and body, I was the shortest one in the room, ( I pretty much always am) and had to wear a bikini for it, I wore my yellow bikini in the waiting area. The other models were sitting and wearing their bikini's under their clothing, but I don't want to get lines on my body from sittting in my clothing, be sweating in my clothing, I don't care if the other girls thought I was weird.

When my name was called I went infront of the video camera and told the casting lady my name and agency, for the headshots. Then went out to the waiting area.
Then about 15 minutes later, and after a few other girls had gone it was my turn again.

Inside, I said my name again, and the agency that sent me, and told her how I was a full body parts model, head to toe, when she asked what "parts" I did.

For the casting, I had to sit on a stool, point my toes and move my body counterclock wise to the left, showing the sides of the foot as my legs moved, while touching my feet and legs. Then I had to slowly put on the shoes I brought with me. Take them off and repeat in the opposite direction goes towards the right now with my legs, showing off the feet and legs and hands.

Then I stood up and we did the tummy and full body.

I followed the direction and example from the casting lady and I had to caress my tummy sensually and my arms, and then pretend with my hands to open a bottle of something and smell it and smile to the camera that implied it smelled good.

Ok thank you. Next.

Then I had to go uptown to Hearst for another casting for legs and feet, it was going to be over within like 20 minutes, so I started to walk to 8th Ave to take the train all the while looking for a cab.

The cab said OFF DUTY but stopped, I told him I was just going up 8th Avenue and in I went! In the cab I was putting lotion on my legs and prepare for the next casting. When I got out of the cab my finger nail hit the door and the polish on my forefinger smudged from the scrape, I fixed it, adding polish to it, in the elevator up to the casting no doubt! :)

In the casting tried on a tweed shoe and stayed in my denim dress and showed my legs, then I sato n a tuffet couch thing and posed my legs and crossed my legs, and angled my legs in different ways with the shoe on. Then shots without the shoe.

Ok thanks.

I leave and head downtown.

Nail polish, lotion, sandals, heels, bathingsuit, portfolio, notebook, book to read, makeup bag, wallet,----a model carries a lot of stuff!

Levi's Targets Females with New Curve ID Fit System



All asses were not created equal.

THAT is in a campaign a new shape campaign, called Levi's new Curve IS Fit system. The jeans are all about the shape rather than the size.

The brand, that perhaps doesn't come right to mind with so many others out there: 7 jeans, Lucky jeans, Uniqlo, Joe’s jeans, True Religion, Hudson Jeans, J Brand, Adriano Goldschmied, Guess, Gap, Armani Exchange, Citizens of Humanity, I mean seriously, the list is frickin looooooooooooooooooong! Not to mention old time favorites Paris Blues and finding a nice pair at H&M or Forever 21 as well.

I read in WWD today that Levi's Curve ID jeans will include three curve sizes: the slight curve, the demi curve and bold curve. The designs are based on the differences between the measurement of a woman's hip and seat (butt).

I think Levi has a strong chance to become MORE on the youthful consumer's mind and radar. At this moment I don't have many friends who wear Levi, I think it has more to do with awareness and the girlhood attitude that lacks in some Levi's campaigns.

But I have two pair and LOVE them and wear them ALOT. I love that the jeans are also under $100, and in the WWD article it mentioend that "the jeans will sell at a premium to the core of the Levi's line, with retail prices at $60-$98, but lower prices will be added as distribution expands at the end of the year." ( yay!!)

I LOVE my Skinny black jeans and you might have seen me wearing them in my Youtube videos, my Skinny black Levi's are a favorite and their 553's are sleek and sophisticated on my pint-size. I am small, for Levi I wear I size 0, their size 0 is a 25. They do not carry anything smaller. Also I think the variety of shape size for their jeans is really important. Growing up in the 90's I thought Levi's represented OLD, GRANNY, SLOUCHY and LAZY jeans, and even today I think Levi does need to work on fit and I am excited to hear they ARE going to!


I hope next will be Levi's working on the length of their jeans. The X-small, the small, medium, and long length. All legs were not created equal.

I have a little booty, and if Levi's needs a petite model, they should email me! :)


If you don't have an account with WWD or get the paper, then see this link to read more about Levi's: http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/90055


ALSO: I liked this article in WWD about how denim is also used for shoes and I DO HAVE TWO pair of denim heels and I LOVE THEM! http://www.wwd.com/footwear-news/comfort-fashion-jean-day-3206060?module=recent_home

Oil Spill meets Italian Vogue




Shine Yahoo's, Joanna Douglas, shared an interesting editorial from Italian Vogue recently.

The article shares how the Gulf's Oil Spill disaster inspired this dark, dreery and death-full editorial. It makes me think about the animals that died from the spill and the people whose lives depending on the Gulf's waters.

The model, Kristen McMenamy, looks like a washed up mermaid who got caught in oil and gunk, and is on the verge of death from her pores and lungs filled with oil and clogged with smudge.

Amazing photographer Steven Meisel shot the editorial.

I do think it is cool and controversial, and I have to admit- when tragedy meets fashion the awareness grows. I think when brands, magazines, campaigns, GO THERE, people notice. And I think the editorial is creative in a disgusting and heart wrenching way that makes me never want to get my driver’s license so I don't have to pump oil and wonder where it came from and who or what poor soul sacrificed or died for it, so that I could get where I need to go.

I'd rather walk for the time being.

I will be buying this issue.

Here is the link to her article.

why cosmetics companies still want tall women discussed


A girl on facebook recently asked me, "I would like to know why cosmetics companies still want tall women to model their makeup??? you may know that reason..lol"

My reply might inspire your own beauty modeling pursuits.

Hi hun, Some beauty brands still want to have the “image” of high fashion. Often the brand will use a fashion model/ taller model, even though it is just of her face so the brand feels like it is having that appeal on the consumer. Sometimes the same model will be used in a high fashion clothing campaign as a beauty campaign as well. I know it is annoying for a shorter girl to hear. However, not all beauty companies ONLY use tall models; look at drug store brands such as Styli-Style, Wet n Wild, NYC Cosmetics, which have used models of different sizes and ethnicities for their in-store campaigns and promo material. A striving beauty model should have a beauty shot on her comp card. I think all shorter girls should. You should submit your comp card by postal mail to commercial print agencies, talent agencies and strive to work with agencies that work with models of all sizes. Research and spend time finding the “right” agencies. Also consider getting some experience with some aspiring and growing beauty brands that show at tradeshows around the country. You could email the brands your comp card or mail it to their marketing department, a smaller, growing, aspiring beauty company might be more inclined to work with an aspiring model. Again having beauty shots, close-ups, natural and with some makeup is best to show. Consider these tradeshows and the brands that attend them: www.ibsnewyork.com/ www.hbaexpo.com/ might need models. You could also look into hair modeling, however be prepared your hair will change and this could affect the photos you already have created for a compcard. I suggest the Bumble and Bumble model project here: http://bbumodelproject.com/

Currently DEX Cosmetics is casting for older models 35-55 http://www.facebook.com/pages/DEX-New-York-Modern-Mineral-Makeup/16152815138#!/video/video.php?v=418748393471&ref=mf

Not on a Bazaar Magazine cover but Giraffes at Borders caught my eye.




A little thing within my books is that I refer to tall people, tall models, as giraffes. I think no matter your size you should love what you've got and modeling is tough no matter your size, so The Giraffe thing is just my thing, and when I see giraffes, the animal, I get excited.

I ran into a Giraffe at Borders this week. And I was finally taller than one! hehe.
More of me fighting giraffe balloon's here and some more images of myself feeding real live giraffes below:

you make the reason

"Don't wait for the moment to come to you or think it will just happen, things do happen for a reason, but when it comes to your goals and pursuits, really it is you who makes the reason." ~ Isobella Jade

Favorite little things mini-comic Getting There by Robyn Jordan


I love little things. Often I feature my favorite "little" discoveries.

Checking out this mini-comic: "Getting There" on Etsy by Robyn Jordan
(Naptime Press).

Since writing my graphic novel Model Life, illustrated by Jazmin Ruotolo, I notice a lot of comics and I like mini-comics of all topics.
