h, the lure of fashion, photography, acting,
music and entertaining. The hardest part is
getting started. The easy part is getting distracted, making mistakes, and getting discouraged.
There are a few things every young model or
actress needs to know.
Whatever state you plan to work in, check out
whether minor work permits are needed.
Under the provisions of the Child Performers
Education and Trust Act of 2003, all minors
working in New York must have a valid work
permit issued by the New York State Department of Labor. Work permits may now be applied for online and are valid now for one year.
For New York, please see this website for more
information. https://www.labor.ny.gov/secure/
ChildPerformer/welcome.html. For California,
please see this website for more information.

Talent Agents
n California and New York, talent agents are
licensed to solicit employment and negotiate
wages and working conditions for performers.
This is true of most of the states for licensing
talent agents. And, most of these agents, if you
are new, do not request exclusivity, so try to

Minor Work Permits
Again if you are under 18, there are some protections enacted by state statutes, primarily in
New York and California. Generally speaking ,
funds for acting or modeling gigs of minors are
not available to be withdrawn until that minor
turns 18 or like in Ariel Winter’s case (Modern
Family) is emancipated. The parent must still set
up a trust account from the bank. In theory,
though I have seen projects where no one cares,
minors must have their Coogan Account Trustee
Statement attached to the work permit at all
times. In New York, so long as the minor has a
trustee account set up, that account will be
accepted. California Coogan Accounts satisfy
both the California and New York trust account
requirements for work permits for minors.
However, trust accounts set up as defined by
the New York requirements do not satisfy California trust account requirements. If a New York
minor works for a California employer, they will
need to open a California Coogan Account for
their California earnings.
not permitted, by law, to seek out employment
opportunities for a client, unless they are doing
so at the direction of a licensed agent. Managers generally charge between ten percent (on
the low end) and fifteen percent (on the high
end) for their services, but remember these fees
are not regulated by the state.
This is just the tip of the ice berg for minors
working in the industry. Work hours are regulated as well as the amount of days per week. Also
both the SAG website contains what to watch
out for in terms of scams. Basically stated, if
someone offers to represent you or find you
work then tries to ask for money, run away fast!
If someone wants to photograph you and you
are a minor and they ask you to take your close
off and you are not comfortable, again run!
All for now and then some!

texture and movement. Most of his pieces have a sculptured minimalist
influence. Greco’s pieces are available exclusively at Atelier Montclair,

Montclair,

“Greco’s work is both poetic and expressive. He works with layers, textures, and varying color palettes to create dreamlike pieces that inspire
introspection and demand interaction. Like the moment a thought becomes a whisper, then a whisper becomes a scream, Greco’s pieces at
first glance may appear calm and stoic, but the passionate fervor of the
artist’s process quickly shines though. The frenetic and the expressive
manipulation serve as a counter balance to the otherwise peaceful compositions, and highlight the chaotic beauty that confronts us daily in the
world. The work speaks on the ever-present dichotomy of existence by
embodying the calming beauty of a storm, and the clamor of a blooming flower. The viewer is forced to accept the random nature of inspiration but challenged to find order in the chaos. ”Li Munch 2011

atin fashion icon, Merlin Castell has been fascinated by exquisite clothing since an extraordinarily young age. As a little boy,
he dreamed of creating flawless masterpieces that would be worn by
beautiful people. Today, Merlin is dressing Hollywood's stars in his
fabulous, unique designs, but his rise to the top was no walk in the
park.
Growing up, life was difficult for the eccentric Merlin. Born in the
countryside of Honduras, Merlin was the youngest of seven brothers,
all living and working at a local banana field. Shoes were a luxury for
the Castell children; they only received one new pair each Christmas.
When Merlin was seven, he severely injured his toe playing soccer
barefoot. This injury grew into an infection and his mother eventually
took him to U.S. Missionaries to get a vaccine. To calm Merlin down,
the nurse told him that if he was a good boy and didn't cry he could
pick out a book. He was silent for the treatment and to this day cherishes his very first Vogue Magazine which he picked out from the pile
of books. As he flipped through the pages, he was enthralled by the
vibrant colors and materials that were so eloquently draped over the
models in the magazine. Even though he couldn't understand a word
of the English text, he memorized every picture and sketched each
design.
At age eight, Merlin earned himself the name "Jumper Kid" when he started designing his own jumpsuits with big enough pockets to stash the fruit he picked while
working out in the fields. Growing up his family had no spare allowance for shopping
so Merlin resorted to sketching his owns designs for the local seamstress to create.
At age nine, his mother was diagnosed with cancer forcing his family to move to the
city for her treatment. While her cancer was benign and improved, she made the
decision to stay in the city for Merlin's benefit. She believed her youngest son had
prodigy-like talent that would be wasted if they moved back to the countryside. At
age 10, Merlin began attending a public school and was instantly more advanced than
his peers. He found class to be boring and sat in class often sketching drawings of
his beautiful, well-dressed teacher. When his principal discovered his sketches, he
called Merlin's mother into his office and both were nervous of his perverted behavior. There wasn't however any truth to his mother's accusations, and instead Merlin
marveled at the way clothes hugged his teacher's model-esque frame and thus she
became his very first muse.

Two years later, Merlin saved up to buy a bicycle to ride around
with his older brothers. However, on his way to the store he passed
by a store selling used sewing machines. He realized that with a few
more weeks of saving he could buy his own sewing machine instead
of getting a bike. Merlin continued excelling in school, always at the
top of his class. Merlin went on to graduate from a college in Honduras with a Patterns and Sewing degree. The three month program didn't challenge Merlin's intellect and only covered the basics
leading Merlin to seek out higher education. After eight months of
tirelessly seeking a scholarship to allow him to attend London's
American Career College, Merlin was disappointingly denied. At age
eighteen, he enrolled at a university in Honduras to study architecture. He enjoyed the new outlet of creativity, but seemed to struggle with the math intensive program. During this time he also began working for
an interior decorator, which gave Merlin an opportunity to let his imagination run wild. The job included an
assignment to design a home for an extremely wealthy woman. She fell in love with Merlin's designs and
hired Merlin to design an extravagant 5-story mansion over the next four years. This woman became his
"Fairy God Mother" and after four years of mentoring, she sent him to a prestigious fashion university in
Milan, Italy, paying for his education.
In Milan, Merlin attended the Institution Marangoni where he specialized in leather. When he finished
school he decided to move to Los Angeles where he thought he would have the best opportunity to succeed. He landed in the US with $265 in his pocket and nothing but the clothes on his back because the airline had unfortunately lost his luggage. As he stepped into a taxi, he realized he had no place to go. Luckily,
the taxi driver had a kind heart and let him sleep on the couch. For some time after, Merlin then stayed
with the taxi driver's brother, and was finally able to repay his debt when he designed his wife's wedding
dress. Once he was settled in Los Angeles, Merlin went to work at Cosmo's where he sketched for the
store's seamstress, and eventually moved into the studio. Jealous of Merlin's work, the seamstress took
advantage of his illegal immigrant status, and would threaten to contact the authorities if he did not do as
she said. She alarmed the building so he couldn't leave, which kept him constantly working. He would sell
some of his samples to Playmates and be forced to give his check to the seamstress. She would then only
pay him a fraction of what he earned, and this proved to be his motivation to quit.
48
Merlin moved to downtown Los Angeles where he had to put his dreams on hold while he struggled to get by.
He worked in a restaurant as a dish washer and then a server. One day a customer asked him where he
bought his pants, and he explained that he had made them. Impressed, the customer got him an interview with designer Amy Bond. He landed the job and began working as her assistant. After just two
years of working for her, he saw the studio grow from one to twenty-two sewing machines. In an attempt to forward his career, Merlin went to work as the head designer at Red Ball, but a disagreement with the new owner resulted in him going back to work with Amy Bond. One day, Merlin attended
a White Party in Santa Barbara wearing his own creation made from pocket linings since he couldn't
afford cloth. The shirt was such a hit he ended up selling twelve of them on the spot for 350 dollars
each. After receiving such a great reaction he started making them in different colors and even tiedying them himself. Today, the Los Angeles-based designer is best known for his Haute Couture Tailored Clothing. The Merlin Castell line has become one of the most talked about collections and has
been featured in national and regional press. Merlin has been voted "One of the Top Designers to
Watch Out For" and he recently appeared on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Show on Oxygen. To date,
his fabulous clothing has graced the likes of Paris Hilton, Priscilla Presley, and Paula Abdul among
others.

Depression
….
The Holiday Haunt
Happy holidays are here. You feel the joy, the brotherhood, the celebration, then snap, DEPRESSION sucks the life out of you. You
manage to hide your symptoms at first, even though the shame preys on your mind. You make it through the day and hit the pillow only to
find you cannot sleep. Pressures of the day, insecurities about finances, questions about relationships and doubts about your ability to
make good choices at this critical juncture bombard your exhausted mind. Somehow, as tired as you are, sleep evades you. The next morning begins with sleep deprivation and the pattern returns. Sound familiar?
Depression can nip at anyone regardless of financial, political or social status. It is a human condition. Holidays tend to invite mood
swings. So many reasons lay behind the mood swings. There are turbulent emotions tied to holidays. Expectations, memories and obligations drown out the happiness. In theory, the holidays are the most wonderful time of year….but not for some. The question is “Why do we
get depressed during the holidays, and how do we deal with the depression?” Images of bliss dominate television and stores, but the reality looms with a dark covering. Increasingly cold and dark winter days, poor eating and excessive drinking practices, annual deadlines and
family issues cloud the pretense, colliding with the cheery images. Inside the mind is a seasonal imbalance that overwhelms the happy quotient.
The blanket of reminders of the happiness of others serves as a painful reminder of love and happiness lacking in our own lives. For
those dealing with family issues, divorce, break-ups, loss, loneliness, and health concern, holidays are a stark reminder of all that is not
right. Depression and darkness affects many people during the holidays, not just those diagnosed with clinical depression. The holiday
effect is real and statistics regarding depression and suicide are measurable.
Everyone is at risk. The biggest danger is setting up unrealistic expectations. Whether the expectations come from film images,
happy childhood or daydreams of what should be, the expectation sets the bar so high you cannot achieve results. The failure is the foundation for the crash. According to psychiatrist Dr. Mark Sichel, author of Healing From Family Rifts, every mental health practice gets much
busier during the holidays because “it’s never exactly as people anticipate and it’s often disappointing. There’s often strife within families
that comes out at holiday times.” Family expectations are the worst because we live in delicious denial most of the year. During the holi-
days we are forced to see the family flaws and feel the pressure of expectations and the underlying anxiety.
58
The solution is to list the things you are thankful for. Have a mantra of thankfulness that you repeat mentally whenever the twinges tell you that depression is settling in. As you remember all that you are thankful for, your mood shifts. Gratitude is the best prescription for depression. Those who do not immerse themselves in gratitude experience the weight of depression and sometimes cannot
escape the darkness. Having a physical list and reading it aloud in the morning and before sleep can shift the darkness to hope. Hope is
the richest infusion of light into the darkness.
The danger of trying to do too much brings pressure. The desire to create the perfect holiday, meet dead-lines, find the perfect
gift, manage to see each member of the family and touch each friend brings a boiling point and a frantic feeling that you are not enough.
Unrealistic time commitment is a buzz-kill. Fear of not managing to complete every task with the fear of not connecting with each individual on your list breeds depression. Knowing the family expectation and having too little time exacerbates the mood. Temperamental family members trigger memories of depression and self-accusations of former failures. The fear of family disappointment brings the cloak
of darkness. The real problem is that you set goals you could never reach.
Comparing yourself to others can defeat you in so many ways. Every trauma from the past, every weakness, every dysfunctional family story of you in the past, every failed recipe grows in dimension and tears at your self-esteem. Comparisons tend to make one
“bad” and one “good”. If the comparison is done during a depression, it tends to bring low self-esteem, unfavorable feelings and selfimposed isolation.
Rampant neglect of self through the holidays brings underlying physical and mental symptoms that we diagnose as inferiority.
Holidays are the busiest time of the year. Routines are skewed by the pressure of a calendar with demands that cannot be met. Social
obligations, gift obligations, cooking obligations and sleep deprivation build the darkness inside. Sleep deprivation, poor eating habits and
over-consumption of sugar and rich foods take a toll on the physical body while lack of time for exercise, yoga and meditation rob the
soul. Even worse, binge drinking and the implied need to drink with friends undermine health and build the downward spiral. If you feel the
sadness or the edge of depression, have the courage to skip the alcohol because alcohol can bring on the full-blown symptoms and drop
the mind into the depth of depression.
One of the most overlooked causes of depression is Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Knowing mood personal patterns can make it clear that Seasonal Affective Disorder affects you. What appears to be holiday blues can
be based in the depression caused by lack of sunshine and the resulting depletion of Vitamin D. Overcast days and staying inside because
of stormy weather cause many people to suffer a seasonal sadness. This sense of doom, if detected can be helped by outdoor

walks with no sunscreen no matter what your location. Increased intake of vitamins may help to adjust this rampant
cause for depression. Noticing your behavior on a yearly
basis will give you a very good indication. If the symptoms
are stronger than mere “winter blues”, talk to your doctor
and find a treatment that works for SAD for you.
Depression is a cautionary tale. Every human experiences, to some degree, “the blues”. By adjusting behavior,
you can adjust your season from darkness to light. Taking time for you is the answer, but you must take time before the crash.
Avoiding over-scheduling, sleep deprivation and alcohol may have a positive effect. Probably the most valuable step to take is to
adjust your gratitude. Spend time writing gratitude lists, meditating, praying and assessing what you “have” can overpower the
blight of the dark feelings. You have the power to take your mood from dark to light. Proper steps to improve your mood pay dividends. Diet, sleep, alcohol consumption and avoiding confrontational people have the power to take your holiday season from the
depths of despair to the joy that was meant to be a part of the season. You are the answer to the blues. You can take your power
back by adjusting your thoughts. Find the joy inside through GRATITUDE.

Next, go all out for smooth, hairless skin. If you have some cash to burn and you want a permanent solution, I suggest laser hair removal. It's just a handful of slightly uncomfortable sessions for years of
peace.

For flawless skin downtown, I recommend Dr. Sherwin K. Parikh MD at Tribeca Skin center

For a less expensive option, try getting a professional wax job including a full Brazilian at one of the best
places in the city to get it done. https://www.myshobha.com .
For a tan that doesn't end up on the sheets, opt for a professional spray tan, or my preference, because
it's natural looking, fast and it's one less appointment I need to get to, Neutrogena Self Tanner in the gold

A manicure and a pedicure are a must! If your going to be rolling around in the sheets you'll want smooth
impeccable feet. Choose a happy color on the toes, one that's nice on your skin tone. Your manicure
shouldn't be too pointy or crazy. Hands are best in a pretty color, natural tone or light shimmer. This is
not the time for long, pointy, glittery, green fingernails.
Your eyes can be your best weapon of seduction. However, mascara that ends up all over the place is
not a good look. Although expensive, you might consider investing in lash extensions. No need for mascara and your eyelashes will be full and fluttery.
A more affordable option is buying false individual lashes at the drug store and glue in a full set one by
one. If one should fall, he might think it's one of your own! It's tragic when you use strip lashes and they
come unglued and askew as your trying to look irresistible. If you have shaky hands buy your lashes at
Sephora and have one of their makeup artists do it for you. In a pinch, opt for waterproof mascara. I like

WOODS
I like the woods
In autumn
When dry leaves hide the ground,
When the trees are bare
And the wind sweeps by
With a lonesome rushing sound.
I can rustle the leaves
In autumn
And I can make a bed
In the thick dry leaves
That have fallen
From the bare trees

Tyra Banks was born on December 4, 1973 in
Inglewood, California. Banks brother (Devin
Banks) is five years older than her. Her mother
(Caroline Linda-Johnson) was a photographer
and her father (Donald Banks) was a computer
consultant. From an early age Banks was ridiculed about her odd and thin figure at age 11.
This led her to feel ashamed and insecure
about her appearance. She had thoughts of being a model at the age of 12, when a new friend
approached her in school and asked if she's ever modeled before. This drove her to later visit
local modeling agencies. She was denied by
more than 5 modeling agencies, although she
was frequently denied this did not discourage
her. She finally signed with a local modeling
agency in Los Angeles. She then went on to

FASHION PERFECTION– YOUR GUIDE TO THE BEST HOLIDAY TRENDS
K
eeping up with trends can leave you a bit frazzled. Those suede boots that was all
the rage last year that you had to have, may sadly be a no no for this season.
Don’t go into panic mode just yet. I’ve put together a few trends that will help you
keep both you and your home fashionable this holiday season!
We all can appreciate a great fur/faux-fur coat. Let’s face it, it is a warded staple during the holidays when attending parties and other special events. However this year instead of sticking to
basic colors such as the browns and blacks, opt for more bold vibrant colors such as blues,
greens, reds and even yellow!
Gloves are essential in order to keep your hands warm. But no one said they couldn't
be fashionable. Gloves with bold prints, fringes and decals are all the rage this season.
Nothing screams the holiday are here quite like a bold lip. Ditch the colorful eyeshadows and instead go for a more natural face and complete with your boldest red, plum or
burgundy lipstick for a look that compliments almost every outfit.
Let’s face it we all hate traveling during the holiday season but, unfortunate-
ly, at some point it must be done. I say if you’re going to travel, why not do it in
style? After all, the world is your runway! Ditch the boring luggage and grab
hold of bold vibrant luggage. This season bold colors and prints are in.
Oh yes, my personal favorite, holiday candles. Candles that fill the air with warm and inviting
scents are sure to lure in the guest. Candles that look as great as they smell are definitely in. No
dinner party is complete without them.
Speaking of dinner party, ditch your boring china and get on trend with statement dinnerware that is sure to spruce up your table and leave your guests in
awe.
Follow these tips and you are sure to be on trend and fabulous!
