DONMONICK MACK

My name Domonick Mack and I'm a South Carolina native. I'm also a Information System Tech in the Navy. I always a passion for the arts since I was seven years old. From sketching to playing piano to painting I love expressing my feelings through a pencil or keys. I recently got to into photography and instantly fell in love. I especially love the process, I other words the struggle behind shooting and editing. Along with photography I was able to start my own podcast called Entrepreneur Diaries: A Love Story, A Journey. It's a motivational and informative podcast for upcoming entrepreneurs or people who want to change their mindset to owning a business. So, I can say that my love photography created avenues for other opportunities for me to be successful and happy.

FIVE FASHION TIPS

FIVE FASHION TIPS

7® THE BRAND

FIVE FASHION TIPS COMFORT NUMBER ONE RULE OF DRESSING IN 2019, AND EVERY YEAR SINCE IS TO BE COMFORTABLE. IF YOU ARE NOT AT EASE WITH WHAT YOU ARE WEARING, IT WILL SHOW IN A LACK OF CONFIDENCE AND THE WAY YOU CARRY YOURSELF. IF YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO PULL DOWN YOUR SKIRT OR ADJUST A TOP, YOU ARE NOT WEARING THE RIGHT OUTFIT. NOT ALL SHORT HEMLINES, A TREND THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE ’60S, ARE FOR EVERY WOMAN. IT IS A SIMPLE FACT THAT THE OLDER OR WIDER YOU GET, THE LONGER YOUR DRESS HEMS SHOULD BE, NO MATTER WHAT FASHION TRENDS ARE TELLING YOU. YOUR AGE AND WEIGHT SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF WHAT YOU SHOULD WEAR. THAT’S NOT TO SAY YOU CAN’T ROCK THE LATEST TRENDS, JUST USE COMMON SENSE AND MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AND FEEL RELAXED BEFORE EXITING YOUR BEDROOM. ANIMAL PRINTS WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR, OPT FOR ANIMAL PRINTS. THESE TIGER STRIPES OR LEOPARD SPOTS NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE. THE SHAPE AND CUT OF THE DRESS OR PANTS MAY CHANGE WITH THE YEARS, BUT THE ACTUAL PRINT STAYS THE SAME. DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO WEARING PRINTS THAT ARE TOO “CARTOON-ISH” OR A MERE REPRESENTATION OF THE ACTUAL ANIMAL PRINT. ANIMALS DO NOT WEAR NEON COLOURS OR PATTERNS THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN. BE AUTHENTIC TO ANIMALS AND YOURSELF. LESS IS MORE JEANS THE RUNWAY IS FILLED WITH ELEGANT, ODD, AND OVER-THE-TOP OUTFITS. MANY TRENDS SEEM TO TAKE ON EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK. FEATHERS, LEATHER, ROPES, MOCK CHAINS, PLASTIC WRAP, AND SO MUCH MORE ADORN THE MAJORITY OF FASHIONS THESE DAYS. CELEBRITIES HAVE MR. BLACKWELLS WORST DRESSED LIST; EVERYDAY PEOPLE HAVE NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS WHO JUDGE THEM, AND SOMETIMES NOT SO SILENTLY. WHEN DRESSING, LESS IS USUALLY MORE. A SIMPLE PAIR OF BOYFRIEND JEANS AND AN OVERSIZED SWEATER OR TANK TOP AND SNEAKERS GO A LONG WAY TO LOOKING STYLISH FROM DAY TO NIGHT. ELEGANT AND SIMPLE CLOTHING WILL NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE.

ACCESSORIES EAR RINGS GOING EASY ON THE ACCESSORIES IS ALSO A TREND THAT NEVER ENDS. AN INFINITY SCARF, RUNNING HATS, ALTHOUGH COMFORTABLE AND STYLISH, SHOULD NOT BE PAIRED WITH A NECKLACE. ADDING A SIMPLE BANGLE MAY BE ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO COMPLETE A LOOK WITH A SCARF. LARGE EARRINGS ARE USUALLY THE ONLY JEWELLERY NEEDED. BY ADDING A CHOKER NECKLACE AND SEVERAL BRACELETS, YOU WILL LOOK LIKE A JEWELLERY TREE AND NOT A PUTTOGETHER FASHIONISTA. BLACK IS (ALWAYS) THE NEW BLACK BLACK DRESS WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR, BLACK IS ALWAYS A TREND. THERE ARE NO RULES FOR WEARING BLACK BEYOND THE ABOVE STATEMENTS. YOU DON’T ALWAYS NEED BRIGHT COLOURS, BOLD PRINTS, OR SKIMPY OUTFITS TO GARNER ATTENTION. A SIMPLE BLACK DRESS AND A LIMITED AMOUNT OF JEWELS CAN MAKE EVERY HEAD IN THE ROOM TURN WHEN YOU ENTER.

TRENDS COME AND GO, BUT YOUR CONFIDENCE AND COMFORT NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE. WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD AND YOU WILL ALWAYS LOOK GOOD.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BODY PART

Someone I most definitely admire is my mother for working so hard to give her family all she ever could.

Pet peeves: Loud open mouth chewers People with no respect Racism A typical day for me would be a day in the office at work and then coming home to my little family and/or working on my modeling and website.

A skill or talent most don’t know about is that I’m actually Bilingual If I could be anywhere this minute I would be back home in Germany.

When I was 10 years old I wanted to be a model. Mostly a Victoria's Secret model. I just knew from a very young age that modeling is something my heart desired to do.

If we went to happy hour I’d be sipping on a Long Island iced tea Sunday mornings you can usually find me sleeping in and cleaning the house or at a photoshoot creating magic I want people to remember me as a confident beautiful person inside and out.

My favorite body part in general would be someone’s face since it’s the first thing someone really looks at when speaking to you, but in myself it would have to be the booty!

ASHLEY

HOLLINGSWORTH

A LITTLE ABOUT ME (Q&A) My name is Ashley Hollingsworth. I’m twenty years young. I’m from Warsaw North Carolina.

I’m a mommy to Marcus Hollingsworth. I’m a exotic dancer but taking pictures is definitely my favorite hobby. I enjoy going to the beach and I consider myself a shopaholic. In general I admire Jessica Alba. She’s successful in mutual ways and I love her Honest brand products. If I could be anywhere I’d like to be at the moment I’d have to say Jamaica. It’s always been somewhere I’d like to visit for the food, culture, and the beaches. When I was younger I always wanted to go into the medical field. From wanting to be a pediatrician to dental assistant my mind was interested in it all. Now that I’m older my focus has turned to studying psychology and sociology. If I was to attend a happy hour I’d probably just order the basic pineapple with coconut rum, also depends on my mood. I can catch myself taking one too many shots of fireball as well. My favorite body part on myself is my eyes. I got them honest from my mother and now my son also has the same eyes. I believe you can read a lot about someone just through eye contact. I’d love to be remembered as the person who’s always gave out positive energy. I’ve always seemed to be a bubbly person I hate showing any other emotion except happiness. I’m a free hearted person and I love to leave a good expression on everyone I meet. Big thanks to Chris for giving me the opportunity to participate in “7® the Brand” I see nothing but growth coming from this.

INSIDE: WHO IS THE MAN BEHIND THE BRAND?

7®THE BRAND/PHOTOGHRAPHER/ENTREPRENEUR

INSTAGRAM @AERIAL7_PHOTOGRAPHYY

MEET THE MAN BEHIND 7®THE BRAND His name is Chris Whigham. He's originally from Newport News, VA, but now calls The Queen City his home. Though he works full- time as an engineer he is constantly thinking about the world of photography. Chris has always had a passion for Photography. Photography has been a part of his life on and off for about 8 years but within the past 2 years his heart has grown more fonder of it. The vision for 7® the Brand magazine is for people to have a platform to promote themselves and their craft whatever it may be such as photographers, models, makeup artists, fashion stylists, entrepreneurs, bloggers, and the list goes on. He has an eye for beauty and looks for it in every photo. When he finds the aesthetic you will know by his reaction using the word "Dope"!! With that being said, I can truly say his work speaks for itself.

You can always find him on his Instagram posting inspirational quotes of the day and helping other photographers and models master his or her craft. I guess you can say the "MAN" behind the brand, is all “HUSTLE”. I’m going to leave you with one of his favorite quotes which will give you a little more understanding about the man behind the brand. “ATTRACT WHAT YOU EXPECT, REFLECT WHAT YOU DESIRE, BECOME WHO YOU RESPECT, MIRROR WHAT YOU ADMIRE”. -unknown.
