Why I started Exposeur magazine. The famed pop artist Andy Warhole once said “everyone will receive 15 minutes of fame” I want to help make that come true. Helping others succeed is a passion for me. I believe a lot of people are very talented and never get chance to make their dreams come true. I wanted to change that, but how? I have been a talent manager for over 15 years and ran a success boutique modeling agency for 10 plus years. I have worked with some wonderful talented people. But at the end of the day it always boiled down to money. Let me explain, when I ran my modeling agency, I would have 15 to 20 female models on my roster. You noticed I said “female models”. That was the first problem. Female models were in greater demand then male models. So as a business decision (money), I had to recruit more female models then male. Second problem, if a client wanted a model for a job; I sent him a batch of pictures. If he didn’t like any of those, I sent him another batch. Hopefully, they found someone he liked and hired them. This worked out fine for my agency. Depending on how many clients I had, I could book jobs and get paid. Not so good for the models. Remember the bookings the agency receives is shared between the numbers of agency models. So, unless a model was in very high demand, she or he was unlikely to get very much work. One model may get two, maybe three jobs a month. Some models may only receive one job that month or none at all. This is a terrible way to earn a living doing something you love, and this always bothered me. I can illustrate similar examples in the music industry and TV and film industry, where the agency, record label, TV or film project tends to profit while the talent waits for their break and to final turn the tables on those that rejected them. I could just leave it as a simple case of supply and demand. Of course there are way more actors, models, bands, entertainers, then there are opportunities or are there? When you think about everyone can be an entertainment consumer even another entertainer. So there is really no reason why everyone can’t be famous. So it really came back to, how I could help someone achieve their dream, without become part of the system. I venture into film and television and purposely involved myself with only projects that would showcase, highlight or bring attention to aspiring talent. This approach has been hugely success in the goal of discovering new talent and giving them a platform to showcase their talents. But I wanted to do more. I decided to start a magazine that would be a reflection of my TV and film projects. The magazine would be another opportunity for new and aspiring models, actors, bands etc… to “expose” themselves to the world and the industry and further their careers along. Exposeur magazine is dedicated to the aspiring model, actor and entertainer. In every issue you will see the hunger, energy and passion of talented people, who just need that chance, that lucky break to succeed. It is my hope and everyone who works with me on this magazine to help them do just that. Ceo and Founder Exposeur Magazine Terrence Pharos TerrencePharos.com

Exposeur Magazine interview with Jenna Montalbano EM: Tell us about yourself: JENNA: I’m a student at Queens College, majoring in psychology and minoring in journalism and news broadcasting. EM: Why do you want to work as a model? Why are you interested in this career? JENNA: Fashion has always been a passion of mine and modeling gives me so many opportunities to meet new people and learn new things everyday about fashion, design, modeling, walking and portraying myself. Designer create a new look that they need me not simply to fit but to portray with not only beauty but emotion. Modeling allows me an opportunity to be an individual but also create a completely different persona to fit a look; you learn how a look or clothing does not simply show off the clothing but how each design fits an emotion. As a model you become the character in the clothes so that all those who see the clothes feel the emotion behind them. I love runway and print work and would never change my career choice. EM: Who have you worked with, photographers’ designers etc… JENNA: Photographers: Marco Ovando, Anthony Vasquez, James Frasier, Michael King Designers: Fabiola Arias, Todd Shelton, Andres Aquino, House of Jola, Hillary Flowers, Csilla Wear EM: What is your career objective? How do you see yourself progress in this field? JENNA:I am without an agent so it is very difficult for me to find work but I am sure I will make it as a model. I see myself progressing every day. I learned how to walk a cat walk, a couture fashion walk and learned proper networking skill in order to meet with designers and photographers to build my portfolio and get my foot in the door to start my modeling career. EM: How often do you go to the gym? Do you workout constantly? JENNA: I use to go to the gym every day now I just exercise at home every day and maintain my body image with a healthy diet. The truth of the matter is it is not what you eat it’s how much you eat. If you don't go overboard with your portions and exercise daily you can maintain your body weight quite easily. EM: What are some of your likes and dislikes? JENNA: I like everything about modeling except how competitive it is. On a job if another model looks similar to you most of the time they don't want to be your friend because you are their competition. EM: What is your availability? Traveling? Full-time, part time? hours? JENNA: I am available to travel full-time.

By Angela One of the concerns I get from women is regarding a proper skin care regimen that does not cause them to break out, specifically women of color. The most important thing to remember is to start with a good foundation. Foundation is not only something used to cover up imperfections but actually use to shield the skin from everyday elements; we are exposed to on a consistent basis. First, Always Remember To Prep The Skin First- before introducing your skin to any foundation. Next, Develop A Daily Skin Care Regiment And Stick To It! - Yes, sometimes we buy the best brands in makeup and we want to wear it often but if you are not cleansing your face in the morning when you wake up and at night before you go to bed, the residue from the makeup stays on our skin thus seeping into our pores causing buildup within the skin follicles that can causing acne and breakouts. Second, Keeping Your Skin In Tip Top Shape Involves A Cleanser, Exfoliate, Toner, and Moisturizer- Remember I said earlier that you needed to cleanse your face daily? Well, it's going to take a little more than soap and water. Bar soaps tend to dry out the skin, so you really need to use a good facial cleanser, exfoliate, toner and moisturizer. Thirdly, Clean Makeup Brushes- I recommend cleaning makeup brushes after each use to avoid bacteria building up on old makeup residue. A small tip; use a facial cleanser to clean brushes. Four, Get Adequate Sleep- You should try to get a least 7-8 hours of sleep at night. Five, Try To Eat Healthy- Try to eat three square meals a day (consisting of breakfast, lunch, and dinner with little snacks in between such as an apple, carrots, banana, etc.) Please avoid the fried and greasy foods, excessive red meat and starches, which can "show up" on our skin, Six, Limit Your Caffeine Consumption- Such as coffee and sodas. Seven, Exercise- When you are stressed, naturally your skin is stressed. When you workout, there is increased circulation and delivery of nutrients to skin cells which can aid in getting rid of potentially damaging toxins, which may cause acne. Caring for your skin starts early and requires consistence. Develop good habits and you can have beautiful skin for a life time.
