Tena Andrés (Alcora, Castellón; 1992) was born parading through the halls of her house. Since childhood, heels, lipstick and skirts, were her toys every day. But over time, the games became dreams, and from very young she has been professionally dedicated to the world of fashion. She began making small fashion shows for fashion brands, private showroom and catalogs and today, she has already paraded in prestigious fashion runways of Castellón, Valencia and Madrid, among many others. Her position as a finalist in the contest of Revelation Model of the Valencian Community, organized by ANDE (National Association of New and Young Designers of Spain), opened the doors of other events like the Miss World Castellón, where was proclaimed Second Lady. But behind the heels and flashing cameras is the pen. Veronica's hand writes devious at night her passions, feelings and desires. Her first poetic work "My isobars. From the runway to the paper" is a mirror of her heart. A mirror in which everyone that takes a look, will feel reflected. But Veronica's love for literature goes much further, and soon we will be surprised. AUGUST 2016|27|LATIN AMERICAN MODEL

After going through the show “A Otro Nivel” (To Another Level) of Caracol TV, he was invited by the great star of soaps in Colombia Gustavo Bolivar to perform on the soundtrack of a new series for television. Especially for LATIN AMERICAN MODEL, the renowned revelation singer Dennis Fernando! In what city were you born? Restrepo, Meta. At what age did you discover your passion for music? First of all they tried to take at baton to learn violin and classical music here in Bogotá, but according to teachers I was no good for this (laughs), at 9 years I returned to the plains and had a first approach to the music by some musical groups that sang in church, they did it with a very R&B style and at that time I didn’t know what that was, but I really liked it; then I took a damaged guitar I had in my house and I went to the church to make noise until they got desperate with me and showed me 4 chords, then I was sent home to practice. And so it began. How do you define your current style as a singer? My style is really fresh, a mixture of pop with a very youthful and passionate urban beat.

“I was born in Córdoba on May 17, 1989 and I’m the older of two sisters. I’m graduated in Tourism from the University of Cordoba and also have a degree in advertising and public relations from the University of Cadiz. I started in the fashion world at my 16 years thanks to a beauty contest I won in Seville called 'model look' and that gave me the opportunity to make a fashion course in “Doble Erre” agency, in addition to my first photos of book, my first publisher and my first cover. Later on reaching 18 years I moved to Madrid with the intention to continue working in fashion and start the degree in environmental sciences there. My first trip as an international model was to Milan, famous for its fashion week, modeling for various Italian designers. It was quite an experience since I had not mastered English nor Italian. I have been traveling to this day combining my work with studies. I paraded and worked in both runways and fashion editorials: Mercedes Fashion Week in Madrid, Barcelona’s Gaudi Hall, Dubai, Malaysia, Thailand, Morocco, New York, Cyprus and the most recent trip is Istanbul.

Alisson Calderรณn Rotondaro was born in Barranquilla, Colombia on the 27th of November 1990. "When I was 14 years old I moved to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in Spain. When I finished High School I started studing Business Management at the university, as that is a career for people who have in mind to have their own business. When I finished my degree I realized that my passion and my affinity was with fashion, as I have been involved in the fashion world since my childhood. It was a hobby that began at an early age.
I decided to move to Barcelona, where I continued my studies and carried out a specialization at the School of Design GemmA, where I have developed my view of the fashion world, my perseverance and my passion for art and fashion. I keep studying, I like to push myself to continue developing my creativity in the fashion world. I am passionate about fashion, I love to know the trends of each season, I never get tired of watching, reading and learning new things about this exciting world, so I created my own fashion blog http://www.alissonroton daro.es/ AUGUST 2016

After much thought, finally, I decided and I share with people my experiences, which reflect my everyday style, my understanding of fashion and beauty, my experiences and travels, gastronomy and lifestyle that I love. I'm close, friendly, outgoing and all that I reflect on my looks. I’m immersed in many projects and collaborations. I created my own label of Bikinis, my imagination has no limits. In addition I continue with my career as a model and working as image in an important nightclub of Barcelona. I've learned that it's important not limite yourself. I've always tried to do what I really like, no matter how many obstacles I may find. My work is the result of all the experiences of my life. Now I'm happy with what I do and I'm fighting for my dream. Following the support of my parents, I decided to create my own firm in Barcelona. And that's why ALISSON ROTONDARO AR was created, a firm commitment to create colorful bikinis and contrast of prints as a work of art ready to make every woman feel unique. As the creator, I know perfectly how to interpret the tastes and needs of the woman who loves luxury and elegance. AUGUST 2016

I want to thank my mother for encouraging me and trust me fully, "she is my companion, my partner, is the focus that illuminates me." In my free time I like to share with my family, with my friends, go to the field, the GYM ... I like to take good care of my body and eat healthy, I like reading; one of my favorite books is called “TU SUERTE” (YOUR LUCK), authored by Vicente Cassanya. And one of my favorite phrases is REMEMBER THAT WINS ARE BEHIND BARRIERS THAT LIFE PLACES IN FRONT OF YOU."

Born 27 years ago in Volgograd (Russia), Galia she demonstrates daily to adapt to her current country of residence (Spain), speaking perfect Spanish even with a southern accent, where she has spent the eight years leading up to today. Her career began in Almeria in Spain where fate doesn’t threw up much luck in all areas and after deciding to change her life radically she went to Costa del Sol, where she found practically everything a woman needs. Adores among other things the country's gastronomy highlighting fruit, vegetables and a good Rioja wine. With measures that touch on perfection (90-65-87) and is 175 cm, Galia considers herself a simple girl and a fighter, lover of sport and a good romantic dinner. Her noble character contrasts with her strong personality typical of Russian women. Let's say for her studies and experience she could be called an accountant but her goals are far from that profession. In the process of launching an "exciting real estate project" in her words, she decided to start in the modeling world of photography few months ago.

Since the great sensation caused in social networks with her photos, predominating her spectacular smile and huge green eyes, Galia assures us that she wants to take the next step and we give witness to this with this spectacular and exclusive report for LATIN AMERICAN MODEL which shows her more sensual and unknown side. Her entry into the world of modeling has been welcomed by many photographers who are continuously contacting her offering new proposals and ideas, which has her full of enthusiasm but lacks the time to serve all. She is more than aware that the ground is the most appropriate place to have your feet for the difficulties of this world in which she enters without knowing how far it goes but convinced she will make the way to the end. "Photography is addictive... you will always want more and better" and she compares it with tattoos, another of her passions. Today, she is still learning at a breakneck pace this tough profession from the faces more appropriate to the best pose used at all times, clothes.

"Each photographer gives me a grain of sand in my tiny desert." Galia considers that she is the typical person who just finishes everything she starts among other things because time is money and she doesn’t want to lose it. Her opinion about the type of picture that she likes is clear: Variety is the spice; times change and you have to go adapting and molding yourself along. She doesn’t hide that sensual photography is with which she feels more comfortable although she also likes the abundance of color and the background landscape. Juan Carlos Liañez, friend and photographer of her latest article among other things taught her the importance of simplicity. "He's born for it and makes the difficult in an easy thing.“ He converses with the model continuously and lets her be part of the final result which is a thing not all photographers do; this has probably been her best experience as a model and she has already decided that the beaches of Cádiz will stage her next awaited summer session.

coco jadad Estrena nuevo sencillo y video “Quicksands”
coco jadad has decided to capture every part of her being in the music and tell the world her story; a history of psychedelia, surrealism and reality, frustration and euphoria. A beautiful catastrophe that traces the emotional roller coaster and the psyche of the human being, and that begins to be told with “Quicksands”. “Quicksands” was cowritten by Coco Jadad, Sejo Navajas & Sarah DeAun McCray, and recorded and produced by Sejo Navajas on 4th Street Studio in Santa Monica, California. The video for "Quicksands" was directed by Salomon Simhon and produced by Colombo Films on the outskirts of Bogota in the past month of April, reflecting a musical journey that transcends our dimension, vacillating between Indie Pop, Rock and dreams. Located in a surreal house in ruins, inhabited by the inevitable conflicts, Coco escapes on old habits in search of her true self.

“Quicksands” hspeaks of having an alter-ego, of not knowing who you are, of that time of your life when you are lost due to a problem, an obsession or a nightmare, and invites you to escape the quicksand that catches you in order to find your essence. "Sometimes when you are in a lucid dream, trance, or hallucination, it is because you find some happiness or sense of belonging in that ideal world to evade reality. But in the end you realize you're trapped in a nightmare, a maze with no way out, in quicksand", says Coco.

I have some companies in which I'm a member and other companies that hire me and we are always in the year presenting beautiful works. Also in the film area I made short films, some ads and a web series which was highly awarded in the world, "Estilo Esther” (Esther Style) and very soon begin the second season. For the dancing, I also devoted several years of training, and I'm still learning; I’m specialized in gogo dance style, which is a fusion of styles of women’s hip hop used to dance electronic music. I dance for a producer of dancers, Beauty Dancers, and with them we work on albums and events, in that same producer I’m the artistic responsible, so I’m also the director of the designs and the general outfit of the dancers according to the event, which means, designing costumes and accessories, makeup and hairstyle that will accompany each style, I also enjoy that area, stimulates all the time my creativity and response capacity. I teach dance, gogo dance style, I enjoy teaching must also be a heritage of a teacher mom, really it’s good for me. For several years I taught children's theater, this work I also really enjoyed it. I love singing, I must confess that is the area that has less training school, but a lot of experience because in my provincial town, singing at a young age, always was and is a passion also.

He is known as DSXZ in the modeling world, is 25 years old and lives in Girona with her partner and her little dog. “I’m a very outgoing, sociable, cheerful and loving person. I’m very active and restless which led me to take disparate decisions throughout my short life. Not everything in my character is good, because I consider myself a pretty whimsical, overprotective with my people and distrustful girl. I consider myself hardworking and feisty as I started working with only fifteen years in a bar, and throughout my life I have always worked in customer service in the hotel industry, clothes shops and cleaning apartments. I became independant at sixteen when I decided to continue studying away from home. Luckily without the help from my parents It wouldn’t be entirely possible. I enjoy every day, with people who I love; I’m very familiar and dedicated to my people. I love movies and video games. One of my passions are crafts which helps me develop my creative side since I also studied Fashion and Clothing and building projects, a bad idea for the times. In my personal life the modeling world does not have much space, because now I work in an agency as an administrative accountant. I premiered in the modeling world when my partner encouraged me to have his photographer friend making me a session. I remember I was so nervous and I was so embarrassed I decided to leave it as just another experience.

Two years after that, an amateur photographer invited me to do a "cowgirl" themed photo session and again my partner encouraged me to do it, and I decided to take it. And without knowing how or why, I began to be contacted by different photographers offering several sessions. This led me to create a stage name to separate my personal life. Currently my personal objective within the world of modeling is to make advertising, brochures, catalogs related to jewelry, makeup ... I don’t intend to live of it but I want to make the most I can to have a good memory.

I’m also carrying out an initiative in which I intend to raise awareness among people of the little significance of having a physical score 10 and simultaneously also to help small and medium businesses to advertise their business as we usually have mania to go to the same sites always and so we overfeed large companies. The whole process is collaborative because we all win one way or another.

LIBRA (September 23– October 22) Time to intercede for your family and friends so everything that comes into their lives will be prosperous and full of mercy. If you’re planning new business or if you can support your family in creating them, your prayers will be heard to support in these new beginnings that apparently are the hardest. You can do great things in the prayer for your loved ones. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 22) A new beginning can’t exist if the past is always present. Absolve that burden of the past without letting it in the shadows, because in that way you are only getting a burden forever. Reconciling with the past that you can’t change anymore, but you can see it with eyes of love; forgive, forgive yourself, love yourself and spoil yourself with the infinity love of GOD to heal ourselves and receive the present and be ready to enjoy many blessings. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 – December 22) Throughout our live we receive love from many people, our parents, brothers, sisters, friends, etc. But the love that we always carry with us is the love that grows in our heart. This is the love that doesn’t end and let us share with who give us love in a moment and let us strengthen us to give love to the world.

It’s a good time to deliver always the best remembering that every moment God gives us everything we need. AQUARIUS (January 23 – February 22) We may need at some point a place where we find peace to listen to our inner voice.

Right now you feel the special call to strengthen your spirituality. Listen to your inner voice. PISCES (February 23 – March 22) It seems that one of the hardest things is to express our feelings to others. Open the heart, love freely and allow others to love us the same way. It’s not so difficult if you start to feel assured that you are loved by GOD and protected at all times, even in the adversity, HE will protect you and release you from any suffering.
