Are Those My Teeth?
013 has been such a crazy, stressful journey. So many different moods, changes, and
fashion flops. I found myself paying close attention to baseball caps which, for me, is quite the
change; since those hats are typically not my style. One of my biggest fashion and self-esteem
accomplishments of 2013 was that I finally fixed the gap in my teeth! My dear friend Dr. Kai
from Stamm Dental did quite the job on my teeth. I wasn't in the mood to have braces since
there are limitations to what you can and can't eat, and let's face it, with these curves, I can't
give up food! Dr. Kai and I discussed resin bonding and it seemed like the best choice for me.
This issue was so fun since it was an issue based on me! My contributors thought it would be
fun to present our readers with "The Editor's Issue." My contributors are so amazing and
without them, DenVhere wouldn't be what it is today!
Fun Fact
While shooting the cover & editorials of this issue, my photographer Elizabeth told me to be more
candid with the camera and less "sexy." I have been told many times by photographers that I'm
being "too sexy" with the camera. I shot a campaign for my school months back ,that they planned
to use for their billboard and I received the photos along with an email that said "Sorry,
we couldn't use your photos." The Photographers at the shoot told me that my photos
probably would not be used because I looked "too sexy." When I hear the comments "you're being
too sexy", I become a bit dumbfounded. Although most people might take that as a compliment, I
saw it as a flaw. I had started modeling at the age of 15 years old and from what I taught myself
and learned from the business, being sexy on the runway or in editorials was very lucrative so
having to change my signature "Georgez Face" as my friends would say and mock, would change
my image and turn me into something I'm not. One thing I always tell models is to use their flaws
and try to build off them because from being "too sexy" on camera, I can also show a different side
to my image and so can any other models struggling with their flaws. Elizabeth captured a beautiful picture of me being candid, smiling and showing off my teeth that Dr. Kai gave me. Although
2013 was such a rough year for many reasons, fashion and DenVhere are the two things keeping
my spirits high! I want to thank everyone who has been a part of my life and helped me through
this journey we call life.
