Let's face it – a car accident is stressful. Vehicle damage, injuries, medical bills and insurance companies are just some of things that may involve your immediate attention. And if your injuries are severe enough and prohibit you from working, bills will certainly start and pile up.
With summer descending upon Southwest Florida, now is the perfect time for increased chances of hurricanes, rain, tropical depressions, flooding and hazardous road conditions of all types. As we look around Naples, FL, we can still see the effects of Hurricane Irma firsthand.
Car accidents happen every day in parking lots across Collier County and Southwest Florida. Most parking lot accidents occur at low speeds and don't typically cause massive damage. However, determining fault in these types of incidents can be tricky. It can be difficult for drivers to understand who has the right of way, which is an important factor in determining liability.
Defective products cause thousands of injuries each year. Everything from recalled vehicles to contaminated food products and furniture that too easily topples over are sold to consumers on a regular basis.
Did you know that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there are 39.5 million medically attended injuries and poisonings every year, resulting in 42.3 million emergency room visits for accidental injuries? That's 126.3 medically attended injuries per 1,000 people. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association reports that there were 37,461 fatalities due to motor vehicle accidents in 2016 (most recent statistics), which was an increase of 5.6 percent over the previous year. And nearly 6,000 pedestrians were killed in 2017 amid mounting signs that pedestrians and drivers are dangerously distracted.
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety recently released its annual Traffic Safety Culture Index identifying driver's attitudes and behaviors as they relate to traffic safety. What is most striking is that while most drivers desire a greater level of security of the wheel, they way they behave pretty much contradicts that desire for safety. Some highlights from the Index include:
Getting into a car accident is not something we plan for. In fact, most of assume that when we get into our vehicles, we'll make it safely to our destination without issue. And for the most part – that is usually the case. However, situations arise and accidents can be an unfortunate consequence of those actions.
The Internet of Things tends to create buzz among tech-enthusiasts with the way by which it connects objects to objects, objects to people and people to people. This has impacted countless industries and changed the lives of billions, but how might you ask is technology affecting the auto insurance industry?
The holidays are some of the most congested travel days of the year. We're eager to get home to spend time with loved ones and it's inevitable that we'll bear witness to several accidents while on the road. Unfortunately, with an increase in distracted drivers rushing off to holiday celebrations, this time of the year is also one of the deadliest when it comes to traffic accidents.
Florida is a "No-Fault" insurance state as it relates to automobile liability insurance so the likelihood you will ever see the inside of a courtroom after an accident in Naples, Florida is…well, it depends on the actual accident itself. It may sound a little confusing, so let's take a step back and examine all the pieces.
Our team has demonstrated the ability to achieve fair and just compensation for our clients. We are an aggressive litigation firm known for the absolute highest quality representation and staffed by the finest and most skilled litigators, paralegals, investigators and support staff.

Beachbody On Demand
CrossFit is a series of exercise strategies primarily intended for enhancing power and conditioning. One had gained Gold within the Commonwealth Games and taught me the basics of weight-management, introducing me to a 3x British Champion bodybuilder, Group GB and a Mr Universe finalist who I started to work alongside. Performing bodyweight workouts require effort and as such will boost your cardiovascular abilities much higher than should you had been doing weight coaching.
Lifting weights has been proven to extend your resting metabolic charge, which means your physique burns extra energy even while you're not understanding. This variation on a squat actually targets (the quadricep and hamstring muscle mass in your legs in addition to the glutes. Even if your schedule is stuffed from sunrise to dusk, there's all the time time for strength training.

According to The Quietus, Powell originally approached the Shellac co-founder to obtain permission to use a brief sample from a recording of a Big Black gig in London from 1987. Albini was at that time the band's frontman and introduces the song L-Dopa with the words, "This song is about sleeping sickness" (see footage below). Powell has used the line along with Albini shouting "one, two … one, two, fuck you" in his forthcoming XL track, Insomnia.
While Albini granted Powell approval to use the sample, he then had a few choice words to say about electronic music in general – words which XL and agency Diabolical have turned into a billboard (again, with Albini's permission) which is now on display on London's Commercial Street.
"I am absolutely the wrong audience for this kind of music," Albini writes in his email to Powell. "I've always detested mechanized dance music, its stupid simplicity, the clubs where it was played, the people who went to those clubs, the drugs they took, the shit they liked to talk about, the clothes they wore, the battles they fought amongst each other."
Albini, who owns the Chicago studio Electrical Audio, goes on to say that he favours electronic artists like "White Noise, Xenakis, Suicide, Kraftwerk, and the earliest stuff form Cabaret Voltaire, SPK and DAF. When that scene and those people got co-opted by dance/club music I felt like we'd lost a war. I detest club culture as deeply as I detest anything on earth," he continues.
Having declared that he hasn't been able to listen to Powell's track – which, from the version posted at factmag.com does have a scuzzy, Suicide-like grain which might even appeal – Albini signs off with: "So I am against what you're into, and an enemy of where you come from but I have no problem with what you're doing. In other words, you're welcome to do whatever you like with whatever of mine you've gotten your hands on. Don't care. Enjoy yourself."
The Quietus reports that Powell replied, mentioned that the vocal sample had been cleared with Touch & Go and enquired as to whether he could use their emails in the video for the track. Ambivalent again, Albini replied with "Still don't care," say TQ. A video is yet to emerge, but the billboard is certainly getting people talking.
Here's Albini in Big Black introducing L-Dopa in 1987 (contains a brief swear as noted above):

Sugar and Spice
Yay! I worked some craft time in yesterday, so I thought I would show you one of the things I came up with. I am going to be sending it to a friend of mine who is very inspirational. This person does some pretty amazing work, and I wanted to let this person know that I think they are so strong yet so sweet as well. I thought a monster with candy might convey that sentiment in a fun way.
Not really sure where the digi came from, but I am sure I got it around Halloween, though. I always think it is so exciting when I can use something differently than intended.
I used the CPS Sketch Challenge for the week as my layout idea. Here are the challenges I will be entering the card into.
Thanks for looking!

I have never been an optimist. I say I am a realist, and when you're real in a fallen world, you turn into a pessimist. It's good that you know this about me; it will help you fully appreciate what I'm about to tell you.
Last Sunday my husband taught in our Sunday School class. He focused on the book of James. Chapter 1, verses 2-4 say, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
It's no coincidence that we had the kind of week we had right before Elian was scheduled to teach on these verses. Having a child unexpectedly hospitalized with a severe illness is certainly a trial. It was a perfect opportunity for me to scrutinize through my realist glasses. But as I look back over the four days Allie was in the hospital, I am filled with pure joy.
You see, just before she got sick, I was lamenting the fact that Allie isn't a very cuddly baby. She has never been one to snuggle up to our chests or lay her head on our shoulders when she is tired. She much prefers to be set down, left to herself to drift off to sleep. And as she gets more and more active, she wants her time on the floor to explore. As much as my mommy heart wants to scoop her up and rock her in my arms, the girl just doesn't care for that.
Most of the time her independent spirit is a good thing. I certainly have my hands full with Lexi, and I can't usually cater to every whimper Allie makes. The sad fact is, when you have more than one child, neither gets your undivided attention very often. Not even when they are sick.
Unless they are hospitalized.
During her four day stay at Baptist Memorial Hospital, Allie clearly didn't feel well. She was exhausted, seriously ill, and emotionally spent. Because of all the tubes and wires, she was confined to ten square feet of space. But she didn't fuss. She just laid in my arms and let me rock her. She slept on my lap, with her head against my chest, calmed by my heartbeat. She got my undivided attention and care in her weakest hours, which I most certainly would not have been able to give her had she not been hospitalized.
In the midst of our trial, the Lord gave me precious moments to share with my baby. The sweet time I had with Allie encouraged me to persevere through these circumstances. God was showing me His presence and His goodness, reminding me that He could be trusted to use this trial to deepen my relationship with Him even more. And that is what I consider pure joy!

So after a few months of great improvement my anxiety got worse again in February. I could have updated sooner on here, but writing it down makes it too real. I've still been using all the coping mechanisms and things aren't as bad as they were a few months ago (when I was in a very dark place) but I still long for the joy I was experiencing in December and January. First thing in the morning is my worst time of day nearly invariably. I wake up with an intense feeling of dread in my abdomen pulling me down making it so hard to get out of bed as I just want to hide away. I do get up though, I have to for my little girl. I wonder if I didn't have my daughter if I'd just lie in bed for hours not wanting to face the day. It's not really the day I want to hide from though, it's myself, the anxiety, but I can't hide from myself.
Some of my friends remarked that they thought I was doing better. Unintentionally I hide how anxious I'm feeling. I don't want to let it show because I hate it, I hate how it robs me of joy. It's not that I purposefully try to hide it from my family and friends, it's because by trying to behave as if it's not there I think I feel like I stop it consuming me totally. I don't think this is an entirely bad thing, if I let anxiety dominate how I behave I don't think I'd ever get up or go out, but I think it would be better if those who knew me really realised how I feel. It's very hard to explain but I'll try. I feel on red alert and scared every second of the day. The intensity of the fear fluctuates but it's always there, a monkey on my back that I can never shift. The fear is the first thing I feel in the mornings and before I go to sleep I dread the morning coming as I know it's going to be worse when I wake up. I definitely experience what in CBT terms we describe as "fear of fear". I'm frightened of my anxiety. I know it's not going to kill me but I dread it getting worse as I hate how much I suffer. It feels so dreadful. I want to get back to how I was in December and January but I don't know how, and if I'm honest at the moment it feels out of reach. I'm stuck in a strange place of on the one hand trying to accept my anxiety and on the other longing, striving and desperately hoping for a nice long calm period like I had for a few months last winter.

Since coconut is readily available everywhere in Philippines, the kabayans created a very yummy pastry dish out of it called Buko pie. Buko pie is a traditional Filipino baked young-coconut (malauhog) custard pie. It has proven to be a popular pastry dish for Filipinos and a very good "pasalubong" or take-away gift for friends and relatives. Buko pie is a pastry stuffed with layered slivers of meat of sweet young coconut, and made creamy with thick coconut milk or condensed milk. The shape of the buko pie is usually round, and can be divided into 6 to 8 slices. It is ideal for an average filipino family of five or more members. Buko pies are mostly sold in the southern parts of Luzon. The places that are known to make tasty Buko pies are Laguna, Batangas, and Tagaytay in Philippines.
2 cups fresh buko slices
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup buko juice
3/4 cup coconut milk (evaporated milk / condensed milk)
1/3 cup Cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla
2 pcs 9 inch or 10 inch ready made pie crust
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Prepare the filling by combining all ingredients in a pan.
3. Heat the pan on medium heat and cook, stirring continuously until thick.
4. Add the mixture into the prepared crust.
5. Place top crust (with slits) over the mixture then crimp the edges with your fingers or with the tines of a fork.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and cool the pie at room temperature for 1-2 hours, then place in the refrigerator to cool down further. The pie is best served cold.
8. Serve & Enjoy!

The Anti-Feminism Conservative Bias (written by a Conservative)
I'm a conservative. I've never been a liberal in my entire life.
I used to be a Republican, too; now, I am not affiliated with any political group.
I keep noticing in critiques about feminism (which is generally of liberal, secular, feminism, but can be of feminism in general by conservatives and others) is that there is a bias- there is an anti-feminism bias percolating under the editorials and papers I'm seeing.
However, those writing these anti-feminism pieces pretend as though they themselves have no bias, but they argue that feminists have a bias, which therefore means that feminist commentary or research cannot or should not be trusted.
Anyone who criticizes feminism or feminist theory – and usually, but not always, these individuals are conservative themselves, or are quoted favorably by conservatives who hate feminism – depicts themselves as being purely factual, seeking only to repeat scientific facts, without an agenda.
Furthermore, these anti-feminism conservatives like to portray any and all feminists (or those, like me, who aren't feminist but who agree with some of their positions) as being blinded by an agenda, too emotional, not rational or logical enough, and as being too prejudiced to be objective.
My fellow conservatives continually misunderstand and misrepresent feminism and feminists – whether this is intentional or not is hard to say. But it does happen.
Conservatives are always enacting straw-men arguments about feminism (and about feminists), such as, all feminists are "anti nuclear family," or "anti traditional /hetero marriage," which is not the case – not for all feminists.
I've pointed this out before on this blog, but I've actually spent time visiting feminist sites and blogs, just lurking and reading their commentary.
And I mean not just the kooky fringes. My fellow conservatives, especially those with television news commentary programs or radio programs, frequently like to comment about or interview the really crazy-sounding feminists, as if to suggest all feminists are nutso.
(Concerning feminists, I myself skim or read a spectrum consisting of everything from the kooky crazy to the sane moderates. Unlike many other conservatives, I do not just cherry pick the extreme wackos and conclude that all of feminism is invalid because of the few crazies I see online or on TV.)
From what I've seen, most feminists who write and participate on these sites, or who write articles, are not overly emotional, man-hating, baby-hating, anti- nuclear family lunatics.
My fellow conservatives absolutely have an ax to grind. My fellow conservatives – including of the Republican and Christian variety – absolutely have a bias and an agenda as well.
My fellow conservatives have turned marriage and the nuclear family into idols. They act as though marriage and the nuclear family can repair cultural problems.
However, the Bible says no such thing. The Bible points to individuals accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior as a "fix" of sorts for culture. The Bible never applies marriage or baby-making as a cure for sin.
At no point does God or Jesus Christ tell Christians that the way to make people more godly is to have them all marry off and pro-create.
I am by no means anti-marriage or anti-nuclear family. My point is that where the caricature of the family-hating, man-hating feminist boogeyman exists in the mind of the conservative, the conservative, simultaneously, reveres hetero-traditional marriage and the family unit too much, much more than the God of the Bible ever does.
(Remember, the God of the Bible says through Paul in 1 Corinthians 7 it is better for men and women to stay single than to marry.)
Both the right wing and the left wing, both conservatives and liberals (progressives), have their share of "crack pots."
There may very well be a smidge, a small percentage of, pro-feminist liberals out there who do in fact hate motherhood, babies, and men. That is true.
But, there are in fact kooky, nutty, crazy conservatives – wing nuts – who don't believe women should ever get a college degree or move out of their father's house until they marry, and who think a woman's only purpose or duty in life is to marry young, act as though her husband is her supervisor, and to have twenty children apiece (spend some time researching the Duggar family, Douglas Wilson, Lori Alexander, Debi Pearl, Mark Driscoll, Reconstructionism, and other odd balls of far right wing Christianity for examples.)
Just as some of the kooks on the left may be "anti family," or who disdain traditional roles for women, there is a corresponding number of conservatives and Christians on the other end of the spectrum who are just as bad in the reverse.
My fellow conservatives (and other assorted critics of feminism) are intellectually dishonest when they sit about in their books, blogs, articles, television interviews and social media, acting as though they are dispassionate, unemotional, purely logical, with no agenda in these disputes, because they most assuredly do have an agenda.
The conservative agenda in regards to sexism, women, and feminism, can be stated in the negative and the positive.
The negative:
On one level, anti-feminist speakers and writers broadcast or publish their work precisely to discredit feminists and feminism.
The positive:
On another level, some of the anti-feminist speakers and writers have a motive of promoting traditional gender roles for women.
As to the positive group, some of these individuals seemingly do genuinely feel that all feminists are out to destroy motherhood, America, the institution of hetero marriage, and other such traditional values that conservatives revere.
My fellow conservatives detest feminism, all of it. Their efforts are spent trying to destroy it and to convince the public that all of feminism is flaky, non-intellectual, and agenda-driven, and should therefore be distrusted or ignored.
Some of these anti-feminist writers don't want to see the status quo change. They want to keep limiting choices for women – they want to keep arguing that women should be stay at home wives and mothers. Anti-feminist commentators want women to maintain traditional gender roles.
I personally do not mind if a woman chooses of her own accord to be a stay at home wife and mother, but the problem comes in for women who cannot or do not want to play those traditional gender roles.
If a woman wants to remain single, rather than to marry, she should be allowed to do so and not face discrimination by employers over that choice, nor exclusion or marginalization from culture, church, or conservatives, over that choice.
If a woman wants to attend college, if a woman wants to work as a dentist, lawyer, or rodeo clown, she should have those opportunities and not suffer backlash or sexism (hurdles based on her gender alone) for doing so.
I believe that anti-feminist commentators want to deny that some gender roles or some supposed "gender preferences," are in fact social constructs, and the anti-feminism conservatives want to play up supposed biological differences between men and women, all to offer a rationale as to continuing the sexist status quo of, for example, limiting women from certain career choices or trajectories, or shaming women from making certain choices in life.
The anti-feminists want to discourage girls and women from even thinking about stepping outside of their – the anti-feminist – preferred roles for women (which usually comes down to being wives, mothers, and taking on "traditional" occupations for women, such as school teacher).
I think my fellow conservatives enjoy making appeals to biology as their defense of maintaining the sexist status quo in culture, jobs, and marriages, because to their ears, it sounds less obviously sexist to say, "the reason society is like X is because women are born not liking or wanting Z as much as men."
That's what all this criticism of feminism is about.
I'm a conservative who was raised in a very traditional, Christian home, and my parents taught me to believe in and live by traditional gender roles (referred to as gender complementarianism by Christians). I finally saw through all this years ago.
Sexism is real. Sexism exists. My fellow conservatives want to deny this and pretend that society is perfectly equitable as it is.
My fellow conservatives, and some other varieties of anti-feminist authors, keep denying that sexism is a real thing, or they deny it's as ingrained and common as it is.
They further deny that culture (everything from employers to churches to schools to nuclear families) does in fact encourage certain traits in boys, traits that help boys achieve certain results when they are men, and that culture discouragea girls from having those very same traits, ones that could help them later in adulthood.
I was taught by parents, church, television shows, teachers and so on, while I was growing up, I received the messages – sometimes subtle – that as a female, I was to like certain pursuits or was bad at certain things.
For example, I repeatedly got the messages growing up that merely because I was born female, I am more emotional than boys, but that's okay.
(But later in life, as an adult woman, you realize there is a double standard: if you do openly show emotion as a woman, as culture says it's acceptable for you to do, then anti-feminists and men say, "See, you can't listen to her. She's not logical. She's too emotional. All women are too flighty."
American culture gives girls and women permission to be openly emotional but then penalizes girls and women when or if they show emotion.)
I also got the message growing up that reading was something I was "supposed to" be good at, just because I was female, but I was "supposed to" be "bad at" -and disinterested in- math and science, because "everybody knows" that boys are better at math and science than girls are, and all or most boys are "supposed to" like math and science.
I was also told – by parents, church, schools, movies, television shows, magazine articles, etc – that as a girl, I was "supposed to" want to get married one day and have children. As a female, I was not "supposed to" like things considered boy-ish, such as Batman comics or Star Wars movies – that stuff was "for boys."
When I went into the toy section of the store, though I was a tom boy who hated dolls and Barbies and preferred toy trucks, I was subtly discouraged from going for the toys I wanted – Star Wars and toy cars – because those were in the aisles marked "For Boys."
The "For Girls" toy aisle consisted of a bunch of pink, plastic girly stuff I had zero interest in, such as plastic toy vacuum cleaners, play kitchen sets, baby dolls, and bead-making necklace kits.
When I was a kid in kindergarten class, one day each week, my teacher had us participate in something called "Show And Tell." Each kid could bring in some object or toy he or she found interesting and discuss it in front of the other kids.
Did I bring in a doll? Hell no. I brought in a volcano rock my father had picked up while on a business trip in Hawaii.
Another week, a little boy in my class brought in a baby doll. Yes, a doll. This boy brought in a female baby doll with a diaper and a bottle. A few of the other kids picked on him for it – I defended him and told the rest to leave him alone.
Yes, American culture most certainly does socialize boys one way and girls another.
But not all boys fit the "for boys" conditioning they receive, nor do all girls fit the expected gender roles and expected gender preferences they are taught they should have or feel or should be interested in.
However, my fellow conservatives (or anti- feminists of whatever political affiliation) come along to argue that no, it's all biological.
The Christians among them will argue that God programmed all girls to like dolls and all boys to like toy trucks, for one biological sex to be one way or another.
My lived reality did not bear any of that out.
Anti-Feminists have their own agenda afoot. They are angered or frightened by any changes that feminists try to bring about in culture.
Anti-feminists want American culture – all of it – to retain a Norman Rockwell "gathered around a turkey at Thanksgiving" painting – sentimentality.
Conservatives and other types of anti-feminists will fight tooth and nail and come up with all sorts of biased arguments – ones that argue men and women are wholly biologically different in just about every area – to hold on to that Norman Rockwell sense of the United States.
I personally have nothing against that Brady Bunch or Norman Rockwell form of Americana, but not every one else wants to live that way or walk that path. Yet others would like to but are unable to.
Conservatives would punish or marginalize anyone who does not want to live in a Rockwell painting or who simply cannot do so.
Your conservatives and anti-feminists want all or most women to fill a June Cleaver, stay at home wife and mother role – but they will deny this to the hilt.
When some conservatives think of military personnel who have died in war, who come back home in flag-draped caskets, they tend to get misty-eyed.
When conservatives and other anti-feminists think about their stay- at- home mother, who used to hug them when their were children, when they think about how their stay- at- home mother knit them sweaters and baked them cookies, they get a bit choked up.
When conservatives and other anti-feminists think about how their traditional- gender- role father worked long hours at a difficult, physically- draining, blue collar job to put a roof over their heads, they feel gratitude that melts their hearts.
So, you better believe that my fellow conservatives are emotional, they do get emotional, and they have emotional reasons for why they argue against feminism.
The conservative or anti-feminist reasons for why they criticize feminism or speak up in behalf of traditional gender roles are not always based on cold, calculating, emotionally aloof, logical reasons.
Nor do conservatives always arrive at a decision about some feminist-related issue or another based purely on un-emotional, cold, hard, reasoning alone.
Anti-feminists and conservatives have emotions at play as well.
Sometimes, those emotions can be a knee jerk hatred of, and anger about, anything involving feminism, or they fear change. They fear changing society as it is.
Conservatives want things to stay the same, or to go back the way they were in the over-romanticized, idealized, decade of the 1950s (hence, "conserve" in "conservative").
The anti-feminists are biased and they have an agenda, so it's highly misleading and dishonest for them to keep acting as though they are objective but that feminists are too emotional or are biased.
If you are an anti-feminist, or a conservative, with a stick up his or her ass against feminism (or even if you have a mild dislike or a distrust of feminism), please, stop it with this marketing gimmick where you present yourself as above the fray, a dispassionate, un-emotional, with no- dog- in- this- race, who only relies on scientific findings to support his or her views (never mind you choose which studies back up your premises from the out-set) participant in these debates.
(See also: Scientists not immune from gender bias, Yale study shows)
You, the conservative, (or anti-feminist of whatever political belief), have just as much an agenda and emotions vested in all these issues as any liberal feminist does or ever will.
And I'm saying this as a conservative who does not wear the feminist label.
I'm disappointed in other conservatives over how they handle the debates revolving around these subjects. Stop being intellectually dishonest, anti-feminists and conservatives.

You have been working hard to find an agency for your client, yet they still have not been signed. You have submitted Polaroid's to several agencies and have not heard back or you have received the dreaded rejection message. Your client is ready to get working in their profession of choice and may be feeling discouraged as they wait for their "moment". You have heard all of the stories about top models who simply emailed a photo to a scout and within days they were sitting in an office in New York City signing a lucrative modeling contract. Isn't that how it is supposed to work? Why hasn't that happened for your client? And as the Model Momager, what do you do next?
If your client has not been signed exclusively by a modeling agency, it is not the end of the world. They can always work as a freelance model. There are freelance models in all areas of the business including runway, commercial, promotional, fit, print, etc. Freelance models are responsible for their own bookings, marketing, promotions, contract and rate negotiations and portfolios. Freelance models can also work with several agencies simultaneously on a non-exclusive basis. Basically, deciding to work as a freelance model means being responsible for your own career. This is where you come in as Momager. You will essentially be acting as the agency who represents your child.
Freelance models are afforded the same opportunities that agency signed models are. The great thing about working freelance is accepting jobs when you want, setting your own schedule, setting your own rates and being your own boss. My daughter/client has worked successfully for 2 years as a freelance model. We opted to only sign non-exclusive contracts, so that she can continue to work independently as a freelance model. Successful models frequently sign non-exclusively to several agencies because they can afford to have a manager and staff in place to assist them with scheduling, logistics, negotiations, etc.
Now is actually a good time for freelance models to start and stay working consistently. It is no secret that all industries have been impacted by the downturn in today's economy. The modeling industry is no exception, with many agencies closing their doors and cutting back on the number of models they keep active on their boards. Modeling agencies may only be accepting a certain number of new models or they may only be interested in signing a specific type of look, thus increasing their use of freelancers. Rates can even be slightly higher for freelance models.
You can find freelance work online using casting websites, Modelmayhem.com, Instagram and Craigslist, to name just a few. There are also many agencies that work directly with freelance models. I will be posting a list of resources for locating freelance jobs in the near future.
Make no mistake, the modeling industry is always a challenging one. Freelancing is just as tough as signing with a modeling agency. It is not an easier way to get into modeling, it is just a different way to get into modeling. Some people prefer entrepreneurship and others like being an employee; similarly, you may prefer that your client freelance or you may want them to sign with an agency.
Freelance modeling is not without its challenges. One obstacle you may face is some agencies will only book signed models for the more lucrative jobs. Another hurdle is, freelancing does not provide the security of knowing someone else is looking out for your client's career. (That is assuming your agency is actually looking out for your client.) That does not mean agency signed models are any less involved in their careers but they have the added luxury of letting someone else worry about the never-ending details. Lastly, your client must reside in the city where the agency is located. Agencies generally want to work with freelancers who are local. Therefore, if there are no agencies in your local area freelancing may be hard to do.
If your client is not signed by an agency, freelancing will give you another avenue in helping them pursue a career as a model. Whether your client is agency represented or freelance, you must be dedicated and committed to their career. Do not allow yourself to feel a false sense of security if you decide to sign your client with an agency. As a Momager you will continually have to look out for your client's career to ensure it is forging ahead.
Now that my client has gone from 90210 and will be entering 10001, things are certain to change. We will see how Model Momager of a freelancer from a distance works out!
Modeling School or Modeling Agency
Have you been approached by an agency or modeling school who would like to sign your child? Perhaps you have even been told your child needs to attend modeling classes before they can be signed by an agency. Are you sure you know the differences between the two? I did not know the difference when I was approached about signing my daughter up for modeling classes. I had no experience with the modeling industry and believed what I was told. Like many other parents who have no idea what they are getting themselves into, we signed up. If only I had known then what I know now…
There is a marked difference between a modeling agency and a modeling school. Modeling schools provide classes for aspiring models. They may instruct the young hopeful in photo shoot posing, runway walk, makeup application, nutrition, go-see and audition preparation, model bag must haves, etc. On the other hand, a modeling agency contractually represents a model by booking and paying them for jobs. The agency also represents clients by seeking talent to fulfill assignments. Some modeling agencies and schools operate together; other times a modeling school will be owned and operated independently. Smaller markets tend to have more joined school/agencies. Both modeling schools and agencies make claims to aspiring models to get them working as professionals in the industry.
If the school and agency are together, the agency may promise to sign your child at the completion of the courses. More often than not, the modeling school will accept any willing participant who is able to pay for the classes. These classes can run upwards of $1,200-$2,000. At the completion of the courses, some schools will then require additional payments of hundreds of dollars in fees for photo shoots with designated photographers to "build a portfolio". However, most modeling schools will not tell you how to actually get modeling jobs with a modeling agency. Remember, modeling schools are not agencies, they are in business to make money from enrolling students. On the other hand, modeling agencies make money from clients.
Most legitimate agencies do not require models to go to modeling school. Agencies would probably prefer that they did not go to a modeling school because that is less time they will have to spend retraining a model that has probably been taught by an older model who has long since retired from the business or a former student of the program. An agency will either scout a model, hold open calls or sign a model referred to them by an industry insider because they know exactly what they are looking for. Modeling school graduate is not a requirement when scouting for new talent.
Modeling agencies want a blank canvas. They will teach a model the business through coaching, informal training, smaller bookings and test shoots. If they are really interested, they will work with the model on the fundamentals. They will even teach the model to pose and walk on the runway. A New York agency will usually will not want the portfolio the model spent lots of money building and those photos won't really help to get your client signed. Some good Polaroid's are all that is needed for submission and to be signed.
Model schools may not be completely bad. These schools can help young talent learn correct posture, poise and runway walk. They may help curtail bad habits and teach them proper diet, skincare and makeup application. Most importantly, it bodes well for their confidence and helps them become more self-aware. It can also connect them with other young models. If you would like your client to go for socialization like a summer modeling camp, then you are in luck. However, go in knowing that these courses alone may not be the start of a budding modeling career.
Before signing your client up with a school or agency do your research. A legitimate modeling agency should be booking shows. You should attend local fashion shows, read fashion news online or with local media. When you attend or read about fashion events in your local area, they will list the agency that is providing model talent. Your local television networks may have fashion segments that you can check to find out what agencies they are using. Those are the agencies you want to be affiliated with; agencies that are actually booking jobs for their clients. If you never see the school or agency mentioned, it is probably because they are not legitimate.
Make sure you sign up with a legitimate agency or school that is not known for scamming. Watch out for red flags. When interviewing an agency or school, ask them for a list of their clients. They should be more than happy to provide you with a list of clients that they work with. Before you sign anything, check them out online, through the Better Business Bureau and consumer advocacy agencies. When offered a contract, take it home and review it before signing.
Talk to others. Ask around and find out from working models if they know anything about the school or agency. Models can usually tell you which are reputable and which ones are not. If no one has heard of the school or agency you are inquiring about, do not pursue it. Check with your local department stores and find out who they are using. Attend local bridal shows, local agencies and schools may be sponsors. Bridal shows can also be a good place to talk to models. Another way to find out is talk to your local pageant moms. Pageant moms are a very tight network, they can usually lead you to model agencies and schools and let you know which ones are good and which are scams.
If there is some uncertainty about pursuing modeling as a career, modeling school is a viable option. Your client will undoubtedly be excited and ready to get started, even if the first step is attending modeling school. If you and your client are pursuing modeling with conviction why waste time. In that case, I strongly suggest avoiding modeling school and focus on signing with a modeling agency.
What is a Triple Threat Model?
After working in the Los Angeles market for some time, one day my daughter/client came to the realization that she was not interested in acting or dancing any longer. Even though she studied both for many years, she knew that she wanted to focus on one thing and one thing only – Modeling. Part of me was a bit disappointed, but the other part of me was relieved. There is great comfort in knowing what you want and more importantly, what you don't want. We made a decision at that point to focus all of our attentions on her true passion – Modeling.
The showbiz term "triple threat" is one that is very popular. It is a common term used in the entertainment industry to describe a performer who has equally outstanding talent in three areas, most commonly actor/singer/dancer. It is particularly attractive because versatility in show business makes a performer more marketable, therefore making them very appealing to agents, managers, producers and directors. You will frequently see "actor/singer/dancer" or and any combination thereof on a performers resume or headshot. Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Jennifer Lopez are a few showbiz leaders who proudly garner this title.
Model is also loosely used as part of the triple threat title. It is a generally believed that "model" is a noun that can always be thrown in as an additional resume title. Frequently, it is tacked on to the end of a performers titles, almost as an afterthought. Momager's who know the value of a triple threat title may use "model" even if their client is not actively pursuing modeling as a career. Anyone who has taken headshots, been asked to be photographed, or modeled in a shopping mall fashion show qualifies to put model as part of their credentials. But does this really qualify you as a model? Triple threat means to excel in three different arenas. If your client does not excel as a model, you may want to rethink using this as part of their credentials.
Unless you truly want to pursue other interests, models should focus their skillset on industry specifics. If your client is passionate about pursuing a career as a model, their resume should reflect such. Instead of listing three areas to showcase an ability to multitask, list the modeling areas of strength. A model's resume should state the specific types of modeling they are best at. This could be commercial, editorial, runway, print, etc. with the areas of the greatest strength listed first. Younger models do not have as many modeling categories but they can certainly use fashion, print and runway on their modeling resume.
Your client does not have to focus on other areas if modeling is what they are most passionate about. Expose your client to various areas of the business and focus their attention on their areas of strength. The modeling industry is so vast, there is no reason your client cannot be a Triple Threat Model.
What We Have Learned from ANTM
On a Friday night, it is not uncommon to find my client and I watching America's Next Top Model. Now in its eleventh year since it first aired in 2003, there is no question that Tyra Banks who serves as host/head judge and executive producer, has put the modeling business on the minds of young girls the world over. The show has had such a mass appeal that it is now aired in 170 countries. It has also given many young girls access and information to the modeling industry, my client included.
Tyra Banks, the former Sports Illustrated and Victoria Secret model, has made herself a household name. She has used her platform to successfully educate young aspiring models in several ways. Any model today under 30 years old has probably gone to the ANTM Modeling University via the CW network. The younger the model, the more influential Tyra has been on their career. What exactly have we learned from ANTM?
1. Modeling lingo. Tyra masterfully introduced model lingo that is now commonly used. Before ANTM, no one had really heard of terms like "go-see." Today, we look at someone strangely if they don't know what the term means (Go-see: When a model goes to an interview or appointment with clients such as designers, casting directors, show promoters or editors.) Smizing and H2T are both terms are used by Tyra when it comes to photo shoot techniques. Smize is a term created Tyra that means to "smile with your eyes." H2T is another Tyra creation which means "to model from your head to your toes."
2. Anyone can be a model. One of the greatest thing we have learned from ANTM is, anyone can be a model. The show has done a wonderful job of showing us that models come in all shapes, sizes and colors. This has given models the confidence to try to make it in the business who previously may not have tried. The show has given opportunities to models suffering from diseases such as lupus, vitiligo and Asperger's Syndrome. It has also given transgender models the opportunity to equally compete.
3. It is all about the angles. Who knew that you should always find your angles when posing for a photo shoot before ANTM. Tyra shows her contestants exactly how it is done because she does the same photo shoot they compete in each week. We also never knew the importance of combining those angles with modeling HT2 (Head-to-Toe). Add being fierce and showing expression in your eyes to the posing recipe and top it with spending an hour per week modeling along with Tyra and her cast of young hopefuls. This will guarantee a perfect shot!
4. Critiques aren't always nice. We always knew that the modeling business was difficult. But we never knew how brutal the critiques actually were before ANTM. The judge's panel mince no words when delivering evaluations of the models runway walks, photo shoots, performances or personal style. This may be one of the most realistic aspects of the show! The criticism your client will receive can be brutal. If your client cannot handle tough critiques, this is the WRONG business.
5. Success is difficult. Some of the things you see on the show are completely unrealistic. Your client will probably never have to walk a runway wearing stilts or do a photo shoot swinging from a tightrope, but the struggle to make it in this industry is realistic. The competition that the show displays is for television but the competitive nature of the modeling business is true. A model will need the commitment and dedication like the ANTM contestants to succeed in this business.
There is nothing better than a rainy day and a good ole' ANTM marathon. My client and I will always be ANTM fans. Love it or hate it the things we have learned cannot be denied. The Tyra posters may come down in three weeks when my client moves to pursue modeling in NYC, but our love and appreciation for what Ms. Banks has taught us over the years is timeless.
Momager Expectations vs. Client Expectations
This morning I started with a frantic call from my client. "I called you three times on the house phone and your cell. Why didn't you answer?!?!" This is the line of questioning I receive anytime I do not answer her call. Heaven forbid I take a shower, walk to the mailbox or step outside with the dog; that is no excuse for not being available to my client 24 x 7. A Model Momager is expected to available to answer any and all calls at any time of the day or night. That is just one of the undisclosed rules that was created and imposed on me by MY CLIENT. When I initially called her back, she did not answer.
There are several unspoken rules that were created by my client. Ironically, none of these "rules" apply to her. When asked who I am talking to on the phone, my client expects me to provide full disclosure. On the other hand, she will not reveal who she is speaking to when she is on the phone. Besides not answering the phone, leaving the house without permission is inexcusable. My client must know my whereabouts at all times. This is yet another rule that does not apply to my client. She can respond with vague answers like, "I was running errands!" when she returns after being M.I.A.
The borrowing and sharing rule is one that has perplexed me for quite some time. My toiletries, hair products and anything in my closet, are community property. Items needed for photo shoots, runway shows or modeling events are borrowed and never returned. Additionally, my food is always communal. Yet, these rules do not apply to anything in my client's closet and it definitely does not apply to her food. In fact, borrowing from her closet or eating her food could result in my untimely demise!
What I am humorously referring to as client "rules" are really nothing more than client expectations. Often the expectations of Momager differ from the client's expectations. While the above scenarios are comical, you have to manage the expectations of your client. There is no Momager contract between parent and child, so how do you balance expectations placed upon you be your child? When you live and work with someone, even if it is your child, it can create a strange and taxing dynamic. You must manage the relationship dynamics through ongoing communication. Even if your client is very young, start off letting them know your boundaries and define what is to be expected. What you are basically doing is creating an informal verbal agreement with your client.
I have communicated the non-negotiables and my client understand the things that are important to me. For example, I really do not mind sharing my shampoo and leftovers, what is important to me is my quiet time. My client understands this and knows that my meditation time is off limits.
When establishing your informal agreement, be sure you make it clear that you will be taking time out for yourself. Your client knows that you have made yourself available, make a conscious effort to schedule a regular time when you are unavailable. You may have to blackout some time on the calendar to let your client and others know you are off the clock. These boundaries are important to avoid burning out. Never feel guilty about doing this. There will be days that you just want to give up and there will be times that you ask yourself why you agreed to do this. Don't despair and don't give up. It does get better.
My urgent missed call this morning was to ask me if I would like to go shopping with on October 30th and 31st. Maybe it is time to update our verbal agreement!
Pinterest Should Be Part of Your Momager Toolkit
Last night or in the wee hours of the morning I had a wonderfully crazy dream about India. I don't know if I was thinking about current news headlines before I fell asleep, but I woke up feeling inspired by a vision from my dream. I immediately reached for my cell phone and launched my favorite app – Pinterest to see if I could find similar images. In less than 10 minutes I had a new board with 20 images that resembled my vision. Anytime, a photo concept comes to my head, the first thing I do is go to Pinterest and create a gallery, referred to by Pinterest as a board. [Big sigh of relief.]
Before Pinterest came along, I kept photos stored on my hard drive in a multi layered folder structure. I had folders for hairstyles, eye make colors, fashion designers and photo shoot concepts. The bad thing was, I could never find exactly what I was looking for when I needed it. Some of the images were on my cell phone, others were on hard drives of multiple computers. Along came Pinterest and it was just the answer I was looking for but I had no idea it would change the way I work. It expanded my creativity, because now I was able to follow like-minded pinners! Pinterest is so much more than just a place to look at pretty pictures. It is a valuable tool to help you get organized and stay prepared.
Models are visual artists, they bring to life images that are in the minds of others. Since their job is visual interpretation, your job as a Model Momager is to be on the hunt for images to make your client's job easier. Sometimes your client will be booked for a shoot with a specific theme and Pinterest can help to give them a visual point of reference. On other occasions, you may be the person taking a concept to a photographer and with the help of Pinterest, you can present concepts to help them visualize the look you have in mind. Once the photographer is on board, you can present the same images to your stylist, hair stylist and makeup artist. You can easily direct each member of the glam team to the board by sending them a link. Your Pinterest profile is a great place to organize to your ideas and be prepared ahead of the game. It is online so you can access your profile from any device. No more having to text or email images to everyone, with a click everyone can catch onto the vision.
Not to mention, there is a ton of Momager information on Pinterest that is worth your time checking out. I rarely find information that is specific to Model Momager's but there is certainly a wealth of information that can apply to all Momager's. You can certainly find tips and suggestions for organizing your busy life.
The key to good use of Pinterest is organizing your boards into usable story boards. One of the biggest mistake many pinners make is keeping their categories too broad. It is free to create more boards, make as many as need! I like to use general topics followed by " – " and a more specific subtitle. For example, "Photoshoots – Desert Glam", "Photoshoots – Graffiti Glam", "Photoshoots – Androgyny". I also use it for models and photographers that my client admires, for example, "It Girl – Alewya Demmisse", "It Girl – Ariel Meredith" and "It Girl – Candice Swanepoel". If you realize your categories are too broad, reorganizing is very easy and you can pin the same image on multiple boards if it fits more than one category. You can also create up to three private boards if you do not want other followers to see a board that is still in the works.
Did I mention that Pinterest is my favorite app? If you are not using Pinterest to storyboard your clients projects give it a try. Share your Pinterest name and I will gladly follow.
25 Hats Model Momager's Wear
Model Momager's wear many hats that you may have never thought about. When considering this career, you may not be aware of all the skills you will need, and the many new skills you will have to learn. Here is a list of 25 additional titles every Model Momager can put on their resume. And this is just the short list!
1. Makeup Artist
2. Personal Shopper
3. Stylist
4. Hair Stylist
5. Manicurist
6. Nutritionist
7. Chauffeur
8. Runway Coach
9. Posing Expert
10. Photographer
11. Videographer
12. Personal Trainer
13. Administrative Assistant
14. Publicist
15. Marketing Specialist
16. Social Media Expert
17. Interview Coach
18. Accountant
19. Travel Agent
20. Project Manager
21. Psychologist
22. Internet Researcher
23. Website Developer
24. Appointment Setter
25. Legal Counsel
Here are three additional tips.
1) Think long and hard before deciding to be a Momager because it must be the best decision for the entire family. Take into the consideration the time you will spend away from your spouse and/or other children. Make sure you can juggle it all and that you have their support.
2) If you are not the go to person for projects at work, amongst family or friends; the Momager job may not be the one for you. Model Momager's have to possess superb organization skills. Not only do you have to be good at project management, you have to ENJOY project management. Working outside of your areas of strength will only frustrate you. If the list above doesn't excite you – hire a manager.
3) Review your finances before hanging up your Model Momager sign. If you can afford to be a fulltime Momager, that is awesome. Before you turn in your resignation, make sure your household budget can afford all of the new expenses associated with modeling. Think of this as starting a new business. It takes time for most new businesses to start generating income and profits. There will be expenses associated with modeling until your client starts generating a profit and there is no guarantee how long that may take. Additionally, those expenses may be even MORE than you estimated.
My blog is one week old today so I am celebrating with a glass of my favorite wine. Thanks everyone for supporting RMoM during this first 7 days. There are 23 more days until my models New York City departure. Stay along for the ride!

SAN FRANCISCO — Santa Clara track and field scored three victories and totaled eight top-four finishes Saturday during the Johnny Mathis Invitational at San Francisco State's Cox Stadium. Ross Corey finished first in the 800m run while Ben Davidson (3000m steeplechase) and Greer Chrisman (400m hurdles) won their respective events.
"We had a great day at the track," head coach Felipe Montoro said. "[Associate head coach Pete Cushman] and I were pleased with our overall competitiveness."
The strong performances included a second-place finish for Hannah Wood in the 800m and third-place finishes for Julia Wood (5000m) and Jeffrey Stalun (1500m). Corey doubled up for the Broncos and finished in fourth place in the 1500m, just 0.21 seconds behind his teammate Stalun. Joey Berriatua finished in fourth place in the 5000m. Julia Green put together a strong effort to win her 1500m section.
"The middle-distance group looked particularly sharp," Montoro said. "Hannah Wood and Julia Green had stood out for the women's team. Brennan Lagerstrom and Ross Corey had two of many solid performances for the men."
Santa Clara continues a stretch of three meets in three weekends at the Kim Duyst Invitational next Saturday in Turlock, California.
