Overwhelming Response

I would like to thank all of you who have responded to my NYTimes ad as well as this blog. Over the past few months, I've had thousands of responses from people who have been sending me suggestions for models in their area. Many candidates who would not have otherwise choses to model have been very happy to get a career started. I've been trying to keep up with all of the responses!

I will continue emailing the candidates that people have suggested. I currently have three categories that I am promoting:

1. Glamour
2. Swimsuit
3. Artistic Nude

Most of the responses that I've gotten have not indicated the category so I will leave this open to the candidate. Please keep in mind that I am extremely busy and may take some time to respond. Please contact me by email. I would appreciate candidates refraining from dropping by.

Please note: Any photos that are send to me will NOT be used without the model's written permission. The photos are strictly used for placement purposes.

Thank you,
Emilio

The world's idea of beauty is maturing. Now is the time for the industry to start catching up.

In today's world of modeling, ethnic models are not given the focus that they deserve. This blog's mission is to help promote aspiring models of color.

Please feel free to email me with links to aspiring ethnic models. I will be showcasing models of color on a regular basis.
