I never was the typical girl interested in the fashion world, rather I liked more the interests of the boys, motorcycles, cars, etc ‌, in that aspect I was different from all the girls, in my portfolio the cars out stand more than the models appeared in magazines. I started to like the world of fashion at my 16 years old, since I began to combine my oily hands and my love for motorcycles, along with my motorcycle painted pink as fashion dictated. From there I started to see fashion magazines, but I always saw far away to become a model... I saw models that had many differents and very pretty pictures and think about getting there was unthinkable. I started to take my first steps as a hostess with 18 years old, but each time they asked me more demands at work and paying worse and I got disappointed enough of this world, then I wanted to try to be an umbrella girl at Moto GP and really for me and the love I have for the motorcycles, it was an amazing experience which I repeated.

When I was younger, I was always confident that I would get to my adult stage with that beauty which only gives by the years and an attitude full of good wishes, of joy. I do not smoke, do not drink, no drugs. Yes to healthy food, water, exercise three times a week, yoga, spa, yes to biomagnetic and bioenergetics and especially a positive attitude towards life. cambia tu corazรณn. You are the reflection of your interior. Change your thoughts, change your heart. What do you prefer, a good diet when necessary or good nutrition? Both. It depends on your needs and requirements. When it is intended to lose weight a good diet can make you reach your goal. Good nutrition provides balance, enough vitamins to have a life full of health.
Do you consider yourself spiritual? I think if I had not that spiritual part of me, I could not be in a job like this. One as artist needs this spiritual side to hold your thoughts, your dreams and achieve your goals. The spiritual is attached to your physical part or materials, just so you can be sure of who you are, what you want and where you want to go.

I like to travel the world, experience different cultures, visiting museums, beautiful places, theater, movies, amusement parks, spend time with my family and close friends and especially do all these activities with my son. We saw you in the Colombian reallity show “Tu cara Me suena”(Your face is familiar) of Caracol TV, what did you learned from it? I Love Reality Shows! I think they have given me the opportunity to grow as an artist, as a professional. You can measure, know your limits ... to know how far you can get with your talent. The learning is great because there are very professional people behind you to help. I can not deny living reality shows have made me reinvent myself and cool my thoughts and my dreams. An artist needs to feel whole, capable of singing, dancing, acting, modeling, display, etc. Working with Caracol TV in ¨Tu cara me suena¨ was amazing, I felt respect, dedication and commitment from the first moment I arrived to the channel.

His people made me feel at home and believed in me, I loved my performances and if I were asked to perform another program I would not hesitate to accept it. I was happy!. In addition Caracol TV gave me the opportunity to return to Colombia and be with my people! What new projects come in your career. Something you can tell us? I'm working with RCN and Teleset in the new reality ¨SEPARADOS¨ (separated) as a presenter beside my former partner Marcelo Dos Santos, I know that sounds crazy, but it's been a very rewarding experience, since the intention of the program is to present former partners where will join again for a goal, winning a prize for the education of their children. Working with Marcelo has been a great experience, reuniting on set working with the purely professional nature has allowed that perhaps we do not manage a great friendship but a cordial and respectful treatment. I am glad that he has found love in his current partner. Finally, what message will you leave to the readers of LATIN AMERICAN MODEL? I want to tell all the followers of LATIN AMERICAN MODEL that life are moments that you create in your mind and that in time when you learn to appreciate the little things that it gives you, you grow and begin to love with the heart. Every day I am grateful to have had the life that I have, the son, the family, the friends, my job and all that in one way or another have shaped me as a woman and as a person. Thank you all for your support and for being important part of my growth as an artist.

I was born in Malaga, but I came when I was one year old to live in Mollet del Valles, a town of Barcelona. My whole family is Andalusian, both from mother and father, but when I was one year old, for laborable reasons they decided to move here, so you could say I'm an Andalusian raised in Catalonia.
I grew up and studied in Mollet del Valles. After finishing ESO, I did a superior formative cycle of Administration and Finance and then I studied a career in business administration while working part-time to pay for it. Once I finished the career, I began to study English in an academy and Italian.

The world of photography has always attracted a lot of attention to me, at first I liked being photographer, photographing landscapes and edit photos. I started to act as a model when a photographer friend bought a new lens, and to prove it, we started to make us some photos as models as a hobby, because we both liked photography. Soon I saw that being a model was something that I liked and that made me feel comfortable, so I decided to make a professional book. Once I had it, I posted on social networks, and in 2 days a clothing signature from Barcelona contacted me. We had a first contact and after this, I was selected to model for their winter and spring campaign, both for the clothes of the web as for advertising and banners for their signature. In less than two weeks, also contacted with me a hotel chain to appear in advertising of their web, part of advertising was in videos, so that was my first time as an actor, at first I was weird for me as it was only accustomed to pose, but the truth is that I liked the experience, from the end of these works I have not stopped, but the vast majority have been as a model.

It is complicated to combine my administrative work and the modeling on, since I can’t go to many auditions, but for now, I honestly can’t complain. Each session I do is different, I have been fortunate to work with great photographers from who I've learned a lot. I consider that to be a good model the most important is to review all your work again and again, to see where is that you fail the most, what your strengths are, your best and worst profiles ... you have to accept both the good comments as well as the negative ones, since it is the only way to grow in this profession and not stagnate in one place. I can say I'm lucky, because the people around me is very honest and critical with me and always told me what photos they like more, which less, what pose seems to favours me and which not, which I always appreciate it. I’m very demanding person with myself, whenever I have a scheduled meeting I try to get in the best shape that I can, for it is always important to stay in shape and look after your diet, JULY 2015

although I must confess that if I have no session that week, allow myself some whim to sate the need! (laughs). I am lucky that I love sports, especially martial arts and contact sports, to my 27 years I have practiced regularly kyokushinkai (karate), taekwondo (these two when I was little) Krav Maga, kickboxing and boxing (this I currently practice). I also tried the grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Nowday I also do some running, I do weights every day and try to go whenever I can on bike to work, so as you can see, sport is part of my life. Since childhood, both my parents and family, instilled in me the importance of caring for both your mind (reading and studying) as your health (doing sports and healthy eating), I think that is the balance needed to feel good about yourself everyday, and do what you love, many people are not aware that you only live once, and you must employ the most time doing what makes you feel the best. Being well both mentally and physically is reflected in your body, health and happiness, consequently reflected in the decisions you make and the level of stress you accumulate, it's like the dog chasing its tail, the happier and less burdened, the better decisions you can make in your daily life and future, which makes you feel better, and vice versa, so it's something I really appreciate that since childhood it was instilled in me.

I 'm from Aviles, Asturias (Spain), since I was a child I’m familiar with the world of photography, because my grandfather was a photographer and also his multiple cameras and equipment also had his laboratory in the attic of the house, I remember how I enjoyed watching those white buckets filled with liquid and watch how almost magically was appearing an image when someone put the paper inside them and then lay them with tweezers in a rope like it was a piece of clothes.
My first analog camera my father gave to me was a Yashica FX-3 with a fixed 50mm lens and I was about 12 years old, I remember spending my money of tips and Sunday pay in buying reels and then revealing the photos. After many years I forgot about photography, and already in the advanced digital era, as impulse I had the urge to get myself a new equipment and return this fascinating world. I quickly recognized my tastes for fashion and portrait photography, but never ceasing to practice something with other styles and themes. JULY 2015

In a self-taught way I acquired knowledge, reading books, attending workshops and courses, practicing with friends, going to events where I can improve each day, watching tutorials and practicing with editing programs, following other admired photographers... I still and will continue in eternal learning. Say that I basically do this kind of photography because I love working with people, trying to capture in a picture the most feminine side of models, the freshness, beauty, if I can get the public to enjoy and capture that in the image I feel immensely satisfied. My tastes? as good Spaniard, I need the sea and the mountains near, good food, and if it’s in the company of good friends and family the paradise is assured.

"It all started at 14 years old when I moved around by modeling agencies of Asturias, seeking new experiences, because at first I took it as a hobby. I got a few opportunities for fashion runways but by life circumstances, I had it a little left out, until the 15 years old that I changed my agency and thereafter I didn’t stop moving. I put a lot of attention on videos of big fashion runways and I was very interested, but that wasn’t always my dream. I was always more interested in sport, especially riding I started practicing at 5 years old by my devotion to horses, although I practiced many sports... instead of the fashion, but many people referred my height to the world's fashion runways because a 1.85cm girl called a lot of attention. So when I notice that interesting projects came out and photographers interested in working with me, I started to like it more. I’m very sociable and I met many people from the guild.

At 18 years old, I decided to return to the city where I was born to study a degree in Advertising and Public Relations in which I’m currently doing 3rd year, thus separating me from my family that I try to visit whenever I have opportunity. Since childhood I always had two passions: theater and fashion. With 15 years old I was accepted in the first cycle of the conservatory in dramatic arts mode, and three years later, I got my postgraduate diploma before moving to Valencia.
When I arrived in Valencia, I left behind the theater and I focused more on my studies and in my second passion, fashion. I came from Paris with some experience on fashion runway because I had the opportunity to parade a few times in the capital of "haute couture", among which I participated in the Muslim Fashion Week realized in Paris a year before leaving and in which I had the honor of parading for JUNIO 2015

Accompanied by the hand of her mother who taught her the good taste in clothes, at the age of 11 she began modeling and practiced in front of the mirror for good posture for pictures and runway. Since then it became an obsession taking care of her legs to make them look soft and silky. Her baths with sugar, sea salt, coffee, oatmeal, strawberry and pineapple juice were routine every day to look radiant.
She loves to eat fruits, salads and juices made with aloe. Masks always used in her face, hair, nails and body.

DIOSA PERFECTA (PERFECT GODDESS) is the name given to her esthetic as it’s the image that seeks to recover in each of the women who come to her treatments. "Everything I do is open your mind, your soul and your heart and raise awareness that with good nutrition and exercise is achieved a healthy lifestyle," says Erika.
She encourages patients to always think about the age at which they have felt happiest in their life to look in the mirror, to love themselves and to become conscious that one should not be "stingy" with oneself. Investing in treatment, food and beauty products that make them feel good about themselves will always be beneficial to health. She loves the music of the 80s and 90s. Her best plan is to eat at a nice restaurant, hopefully sea food, and then go to dance salsa and occasionally go to a good concert of electronic music with friends.

My innate curiosity led me to travel to different countries and explore those special little places that are in the world. Running into photographers like Javier Castano, Jorge Anaini, Daniel Bazan, Alejandro Miranda and countless of professional quality and as an exceptional person, strong friendships that is truly a blessing.

Her son Emmanuel and her dog luky are her biggest distraction and joy. She's homey and enjoys sharing with her sister in Bogota, who accompanies her on this adventure of living in the capital, leaving her beloved Medellin. Doing sports daily, attending casting and studying English make her days pass without worry about time. Focusing on her modeling career is her priority, and it was this reason that motive to travel to Bogota three years ago.
She prefers seafood over others, that’s why she loves eating Peruvian ceviche with a good chilled white wine. Dancing electronic music is the hobby which she enjoy most when she chooses to take a break and moments of distraction in her daily routine. That overwhelming attitude contrasts with the freshness and good atmosphere that she reflects with her group of friends when they go on trips to piedra del peùol or pueblito paisa. She misses arepa for breakfast and heated beans when she decides to break diet. JULY 2015

THE
AGE of
ADELINE FOREVER YOUNG. ALWAYS IN LOVE
80 years ago something incredible happened to Adeline and her life stopped in time. Adeline Marie Bouman was born on January 1908. Many years later she would start her own family but a night of severe winter of 1935 Adeline’s life changed forever. At that moment something amazing and supernatural originally occurred, something that might be called magical: Adeline would be immune to the passage of time and won’t age another day. Trailer https://youtu.be/clbSd2JzAqc
Blake Lively and Michiel Huisman Blake, after of GOSSIP GIRL you took a free time- What was in this film that attracted you return to the screen? BLAKE: After Gossip Girl wrapped me, I took about a year off. I wanted a break and reloading. I’ve read a lot of scripts and were a few movies that I liked and I thought, "I could do this movie." But 'Adaline' was the first script I read it and thought, "I can’t not do this movie." JULY 2015

What do you like ABOUT it? BLAKE: I feel the magic doesn’t appear in the cinema these days unless is a superhero movie or has wands. That magic in humanity, in a quiet film, magic is very rare and when it comes, people call it "the little movie that could". 'Adaline' fits somewhere between the two - which is

death, it’s about an infinite amount of time, it’s attractive, but if you must be alone, isn’t attractive. You realize that time is nothing without love and you want to have less time and loving people you care about, that have an infinite amount of time alone. You have worked on 'ADALINE' with the MOVIE ICON HARRISON FORD JULY 2015

How was that? MICHIEL: I was astonished by Harrison. I was able to see the reason why he’s who he is - his passion for storytelling goes beyond; It was very inspiring. We had been filming for 2-3 weeks by the time we started filming in the family Jones house and Harrison really helped us a lot in the history. AMERICAN MODEL

BLAKE: It was like a different movie while we were shooting those scenes, when Harrison was on set, his presence was felt. Didn’t you do anything to help establish the parentchild relationship? Did you spend more time together? MICHIEL: actually, he met for the first time that day we started shooting, but somehow everything fell into place very quickly. We share a passion for good coffee and had a coffee machine in his trailer, so he invited me to his trailer for a coffee. So it was perfect for the parent-child bond, I think! How you have done to discover this character Adeline? BLAKE: I looked grandmothers for inspiration - Grandmothers that I know from my childhood and investigated the time in their history when reach "the majority" The majority of age in the 60s, which people were more a free and open spirit while my grandmother came of age in the 20s and was more formal, proper and ladylike. I thought, for Adaline adulthood in the 1920s, she would possess this formality, she would be a bit closed and a bit more reserved. The 20s was the beginning of a change for women and every decade in the past century has been very different for women socially and politically. I wanted to capture not only that, but also Adeline has a relatively smooth transition each decade. JULY 2015

What is your opinion on aging? It’s something to fear or something to celebrate? BLAKE: I feel that people are more concerned with mortality than they are with aging. Aging is something that society imposes and is more an esthetic problem. Aging is innate and instinctive related to mortality and if you remove some of the surface elements, you get to realize that aging isn’t sad. Adaline lost the people she loves - her daughter is 80 years old and is about to pass on. She’s trapped in this reality forever. I think the film explores aging and mortality in a unique way.
Through the different ages we see different costumes; Do you have a personal preference for one of the costumes? MICHIEL: I like the dress that Adeline wears when she and Ellis first meet, in the dancing of New Year's Eve and one of the things I love about that dress is that is the same dress she wears in the New Year's Eve party in 1940. What I love about Adaline outfits is that she clings to these iconic pieces she loved, over different periods and once we got to 'present', when Ellis and Adaline meet, she’s using a combination of amazing vintage pieces. Making this film impact your thoughts on becoming a mother in any way? BLAKE: I've always been very close with my family, my nieces and nephews, so it was a very natural thing for me to understand the love story between Adaline and Flemming. To me, that’s the most common relationship in the film, even more than the relationship between Adaline and Ellis.

CLOUDS MARIA
OF
SILS
The film nominated for the Palme d'Or, Clouds of Sils Maria. Juliette Binoche reunited with the prestigious French director Olivier Assayas (Paris, I love you) in this drama on film, theater and fame. María (Binoche), a veteran actress, is faced with the dilemma of acting again in a new version of the play that made her famous decades ago. 20 years ago she played Sigrid, an attractive young girl who seduces and eventually leads her boss, Helena, to despair. Now, in the decline of her career, María must decide whether to accept the other paper, the veteran Helena, who lives a terrible end. Assayas's latest production offers the most challenging performances of Juliette Binoche and Kristen Strewart. For playing Valentine, the young assistant of María, last February 19 Stewart became the first American to win a Cesar Award, the highest award of France.

The film won a total of six nominations, including Best Actress for Binoche and Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture. Floating Clouds Director Note This film, dealing with the past, our relationship with it, has a long history. One that Juliette Binoche and I shared implicitly. We met for the first time at the beginning of our careers. Along with André Téchiné, I wrote Rendezvous, a story full of ghosts where she, at the age of 20 years, had the lead role. Even then, the film looked at the way that a young actress takes to get satisfaction on a role. From that, our paths were parallel, intersecting only much later when we recorded Summer Hours in 2008. It was Juliette who had the feeling that there was a missed opportunity, or rather, a film that remained as virtual in our shared history, and would bring us back to basics. With this same insight in mind,

I started taking notes, then giving life to the characters and finally to the story that was waiting to exist for a long time. Writing is a path, and this is in the dizzy heights, suspended in time between the origin and the being. It’s not a surprise that it inspired on me images of mountain landscapes and steep roads. We needed to have the light of spring, the transparency of the air, and the mists of the past, these from the cloud phenomena of Maloja. A path that brought me to where it all began for Juliette and me, and where we are today, in our questions about the present and especially the future.
