Press films of Uptown Fashion Week

September 2014

Watch me rip the runway for top designer Serita Bell and speak in this media interview about the plus industry at Uptown Fashion Week in NYC. The garment I wore for her was beyond stunning: view images here and here - I got major applause, beat out all the other girls vying for this dress, and sold three pieces for the designer! Read this review in Latin Trends about the show, I'm a featured model. View my interview & walk below!

One hell of a week!

September 2014

So much amazing news has come in this week! To start, I am beyond elated to be performing onstage with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in Bartok's chamber opera Bluebeard's Castle. The stunning set from the Seattle production is by Dale Chihuly! Read more about this amazing collaboration in The NewsBusiness FirstArtvoice and Buffalo Rising.

In equally amazing news, I've been selected to walk in Uptown Fashion Week in NYC, in the first-ever Plus Showcase for this high fashion, avant-garde show. Read this article in the NY Daily News about the high profile event! Check out my Press page for the latest video and image links.

In the meantime, I'm being flown out to NYC this weekend (during MBNYFW no less) for my fit model job - the designer is in from LA! And to wrap it up? A few smaller job offers including opera roles (more info soon), blogging, and another magazine cover...

Magazine cover, interviews, and more

Exciting news - I'm on the COVER of Rack Plus Magazine, with an interview and fashion spread inside! It's a summer breeze issue... check me out in the red bathing suit. You can purchase a copy here, and view the online digital version here. And I'm very pleased my image was published in the Empire issue of Surreal Beauty Magazine. And huge thanks to Kathleen at Curves Illustrated for creating this curvy sketch of the photo.

HIDden's triumph at The York Mystery Plays

July 2014

HIDden Theatre had a very busy summer, with some incredible announcements coming soon! In the meantime, check out some great PR for The Baptism (more details on our Press & Media page). We are elated for this excellent review and lead photo in The Express: "I would pick...The Baptism... as the best presented and performed play[s]." HIDden is very proud to be prominently featured by the BBC, online with lead photo and TV with interviews, as well. And for me as a performer, my anechoic recording of the chant 'Ascendo ad patrem meum' was featured at the sound installation Hearing the Mystery Plays - this project recreates the aural world of specific Mystery Plays using virtual models, state of the art recording techniques, and some creativity in the Medieval streets of York.
