IT’S A MUST.

You have to say thanks in public, and it’s not proper to hide away and pretend that no one will notice. It is your celebration and everyone expects to see you shine in every aspect throughout the night. This will probably be the most difficult part of your party because the excitement, the goose bumps, fear of public speaking and lots of other factors might keep you from saying how grateful you are and to whom.

For instance: “I’d like to thank you all for sharing with me this special day, and this beautiful party which wouldn’t have been possible without the help of my parents and my family. I thank all and each one of them for their effort, their support and love. I love you all and I hope you continue to enjoy the party.

“Today is one of the most important and happy days of my life and now that I get a chance to celebrate it with my family and friends I want to thank you for your support and love. Thank you for coming and Let’s party!”

Of course these are just suggestions, but you can say whatever you want as long as you stay relaxed and cool, and don’t let nervousness betray you.

ERRORES

QUE NO TE DEBEN PASAR Photos By: Yalina Art Photography

Esto le pasa a muchas chicas... No seas parte de la estadística.

Afortunadamente, en una fiesta de Quinceaños un error no es fatal, pero si puede que te cause problemas o arrepentimientos.

La perfección no existe, pero la prevención sí. A continuación te damos una lista que debes analizar y asegúrate de que no pase ninguno de estos puntos en tu fiesta.

5. EL VESTIDO.

1. EN TUS FOTOS.

Ten cuidado a quien contratas, fíjate que el fotógrafo realmente tenga la experiencia suficiente que requiere un evento como el tuyo. No hay segundas oportunidades para tus fotos.

www.quinceanerasmagazine.com

2. EN LOS PADRINOS.

26 26

Mídetelo 2 ó 3 veces. ¿Te gusta? ¿No tiene defectos de costura? ¿Estan los broches seguros? Que todo esté perfecto y que te quede justo a tu forma de cuerpo, de eso depende la comodidad de todo el día. Recuerda que el vestido es la pieza principal. Sin vestido no hay princesa.

6. EL VALS.

De preferencia contrata a un coreógrafo, El te ayudará a poner los pasos y estará pendiente ese día de que todo salga bien, recuerda que el vals es el momento esperado en la recepción y por tanto tiene mucha importancia.

Hay mucha gente que te quiere y te ayuda en tu fiesta, pero a veces es imposible cumplir con lo prometido, desde un principio identifica quien realmente puede con el compromiso, para que a la mera hora “el padrino no se eche pa’trás”.

7. ALIMENTARTE BIEN POR LA MAÑANA.

3. EN LA COMIDA.

8. MAQUILLAJE EXTRA.

Si no te la va a proporcionar el salón y contrataste a un conocido, que sea de confianza para que todo esté a tiempo. Puede ser que cocine muy rico, pero la comida no llegó a tiempo y dejó esperando a todos una horas, y en el peor de los casos la comida jamás llegó.

4. EL PEINADO.

Pruébatelo una semana antes, y si te sientes segura con el estilo, ya no hay sorpresas el día del evento. A veces pasa que por la mañana de ese día te probaste mil maneras y ninguno te gustó, eso te arruina el día. Busca profesionales en peinado y maquillaje. Vale la pena.

¿Te ha tocado ver en videos una novia o quinceañera que se desmaya en la misa? A mí si. Y es que ese día hay mucha presión, estrés, y si a eso le sumas mala alimentación, es posible que vayas a estar débil y no des el rendimiento que se requiere. Almuerza bien, y llévate en tu bolsita un “snack” por si las flies.

Es un día de emociones, de abrazos y de besos, el maquillaje se va quedando en cada uno de ellos. LLeva contigo lápiz labial, polvo, un espejito, y hasta perfume para que a cualquier hora luzcas fresca y radiante. Es un laaaaargo día.

9. LA MÚSICA.

Hay quinceañeras donde nadie baila porque la música está completamente fuera de ambiente. Infórmale a tu DJ el gusto general de la gente que va ir a tu fiesta, para que nadie se quede sentado y la pista se llene.

Eso será un cierre con broche de oro.

10. SONRÍE. POR FAVOR

s-o-n-r-í-e.

No hay nada mas desilusionante que ver una quinceañera sin expresión en su rostro. Ese día se supone que es el más feliz de tu vida hasta ahora.

Demuéstralo. Con una sonrisa le dices a todo mundo lo feliz que te la estas pasando y lo que agradeces su compañía. Si no sonríes además, tus fotos te lo van a reclamar toda la vida. Smile.

That’s money you can count on right away to reserve what usually takes longer to get such as the reception hall, photography, and your dress.

www.quinceanerasmagazine.com

THEN START SCOUTING FOR PADRINOS. If you ask your immediate family members first, they will be honored by your request; but be sure to show them your plan of action; tell them what you need most and start from the biggest and largest since some might need the collaborative effort of two or more padrinos. Remember not to spend money you don’t have just yet or are not sure you’ll get because like the saying goes “never bite more than you can chew!”

WEAKNESSES Be very honest with yourself and pay attention to criticism. Make a list of the things you DON’T LIKE about yourself physically. DO NOT PRETEND to be someone you’re not, don’t copy or imitate others too much. All change is possible but it also requires technique, method and patience. Always remember that your best is yet to come and the worst comes when you least expect it.

Which aspects of your persona that you dislike can be improved? The answers can range from taking better care of your skin, eating healthier and losing weight to going to a dentist, working out and giving your hair a deep treatment. Where there’s a will, there’s a way and combining discipline with self-commitment you’ll see how in due time you’ll get what’s rightfully yours.

Find the right moment to tell your parents about your interest in modeling, and keep in mind that even though that’s something you want they don’t necessarily have to give it to you since they would have to spend time and money to help you get there. First and foremost, Mom and Dad will want you to get a college degree as well and rightfully so because most models’ careers end before they turn 30 years-old.

Nevertheless, the modeling experience can help you become more secure and raise your self-esteem because a good posture, expressing yourself in front of a camera, and speaking in public gives you more exposure in any profession you choose later on.

By the way, even taking modeling classes and getting you diploma doesn’t make you a model, no title can guarantee a job. There will be many challenges ahead that you will face on your way to becoming a professional model and take your spot in the workplace, but we’ll tell more about that in our next issue... Good Luck!

At Quinceañera Magazine Miss Cover Girl program we not only teach the technique of the model’s walk, but how to sit, rise, walk up and down stairs, enter a room and muchmuch more. This aspect of personal development will mean a great deal towards communicating confidence to the world.

www.quinceanerasmagazine.com

Being a part modeling and talent industry for close to 20 years I have attended my fair share of fashion shows, as a model and as a client. Recently, I was invited to attend a show of a very talented fashion designer. Sitting in a front row and watching models passing

by I realized that the same models over and over again catch my attention and stood out throughout the whole show. They all had different looks but what I noticed about them was the fact that they one thing in common – they oozed with self-confidence. They had her shoulders back. They had her chins up.

They had a very confident walk and it was so attractive and I thought “Isn’t that interesting”.

You don’t have to be gorgeous. You don’t

42 42

have to have the most expensive clothes in the world. You don’t even have to have great hair. It is attractive to project self-confidence.

That’s what models know, isn’t it? They know you have to project self-confidence on stage, on the runway, or in front of the camera.

Getting ready for your Big Party means to get ready to be the center of attention. Can you handle it? Think of what virtues make up the popular, successful girl: her poise, her posture, her voice, her make-up, her clothes sense, the way she moves, and that wonderful quality of being natural, being herself as an individual; the ability to say and do the right thing at the right time, to have total

Project self-confidence. every day of your life, whether it’s at a social gathering or at school, no matter what the occasion is. Get your shoulders back, stand up tall, walk with determination. When you sit, don’t spread your legs all over the place, sit up nice and tall. When you shake hands, look that person right in the eyes, reach out your hand and shake in a nice firm grip that says, “I feel good, how about you?” Dress as though you’ve put some thought into your clothes. Make sure your clothes are neat, clean and pressed. Whether you’re talking to somebody or just listening, pay attention. Open your eyes, maintain eye contact, smile, not, show the person that you’re interested in what they have to say. Confidence means how sure you are of yourself.

confidence in herself. All these qualities add up to the sum total of success! When we see this girl, the one whom everyone likes, the one who people are drawn to, the one who seems to do everything right, we are inclined to think that she’s just lucky, that she was just born with so much, like the true beauty. If you look again, carefully this time, you will find that she is not the perfection you thought her to be, but that she has learned to create that illusion. All these attributes are actually skills which anyone can learn. No one is born with them, it is a fact that all successful, professional models have learned these skills; and so can you.

The perfect dress dress The perfect

Bring down your height.

A ball gown works nicely, if it has a train, let it come around the dress instead of extending it; this takes the focus away from your height. Bare your shoulders, possibly an off the shoulders neckline with vast sleeves are a good option. Dramatic veils are also in alternative.

Too thin.

A heavier fabric like velvet, satín or moire will give you an illusion of extra pounds. Embroidery to the waist and narrow sleeves will make a great addition.

To look thinner.

With an A-line dress or Princess cut dress. A classic slim cut with vertical lines is also possible. Go with a strapless neckline and avoid heavy and extra fabric on the skirt.

Minimize bust area.

A neckline in “V” or high neck with a peep hole is usually more attractive.

Avoid empire waist cut, this brings more attention to the upper portion of the dress. A column or straight line skirt would be great, even a full skirt would work nicely.

Small bust area.

46 46

A halter neckline works great for the bust area. Bring details to the area, by having applications, embroidering, etc. to give it volume. Consider a sweetheart neckline.

Slim down the hip area.

This is a very common concern. Consider an A-line cut dress. Focus on the upper portion of the body and waist area (instead of the hip area) when choosing your dress.

Short torso.

A-line dress types work best for you. Your torso will be more defined by having your skirt start a few centimeters below your real waist and ending in a V at the bottom.

Wide back. Select a dress with

an ample skirt, very simple sleeves and avoid extra embroidering to the top of the dress. Bring the attention to the skirt.

Narrow shoulders

If you have narrow shoulders, small bust and wide hips, you will need to bring some balance to the upper portion of the dress with a corset, some details to the shoulders, such as voluminous sleeves and a “V” neckline cut or go strapless, but the key to making a strapless successful is to have lots of embroidery on the greater part of the corset, such as flowers and bows.

Lots of curves.

If you have a bust, ample hips and a defined waistline, dresses that are more fitted emphasize very well your proportionate body. Go for A-Line, Princess cut or Mermaid cut dresses.

If you are tall.

If you are tall and thin you can shine in almost any type of dress, as long as it does not make you look too thin and without shape. The ideal is an off the shoulder with tiers and flounces, a natural waist and full skirt would create an optical effect of volume.

Want to appear taller.

If your height is 5 feet or less you should wear more of a simple model dress. Avoid any detail to the shoulders, such as puffy sleeves or long fitted sleeves. If your dress has a train, it must go in agreement with the stature of your body and not be out of proportion. Try a dress with a high neckline collar and empire waist. Another idea is to have capped sleeves and wear long gloves. Consider going with a strapless neckline cut.

Very tall and broad shoulders.

Opt for more of a simple dress, without embroidering, of single lines that defined your figure without bringing attention to your upper body. Avoid the ample shoulder reinforcements, the cross straps or halter necklines, and full skirts with lots of flare.

Bring down your height.

What it takes to be Alright, so I know that it’s every Quinceañera’s dream

to be on the cover of Quinceañera Magazine. You may think you have what it takes because you’re photogenic, charming, and beautiful. But the winner of the Miss Cover Girl beauty pageant is more than that. She is a public speaker, she’s elegant, charismatic, professional, confident, educated, and modest. Most importantly, she is a role model to girls all over the country at every age. The team at Quinceañeras Magazine is very careful about whom we allow to be contestants for our beauty pageants and the judges that we choose know exactly what were looking for.

So before you decide to enter the beauty pageant in hopes of winning and becoming the next face of Quinceañeras Magazine ask yourself these questions: Photos By: QM/Aron Martinez

Can I be a role model? We would like a young

lady worthy of having young girls looking up to her. Do you curse, have inappropriate pictures on myspace, argue with your parents or get in trouble at school? Those are some of the qualities that we do NOT want in a cover girl. Those things not only misrepresent our magazine, but her family’s upbringings and herself. We want a girl that is committed to furthering her education, has strong morals, a positive attitude and has a strong sense of who she is. That girl is worthy of being recognized and admired.

www.quinceanerasmagazine.com

Do I like to speak in front of large crowds of people? When we present our cover girl at

50 50

events or expos, sometimes it is expected for her to give encouraging words to future quinceañeras or talk about her experience as cover girl. It never fails to impress parents, judges, business partners or strangers when a young lady can gain the attention of a crowd and speak clearly and elaborately.

Am I modest? What we want is a girl that can carry

herself confidently and modestly, whether it’s what you’re wearing, how you’re talking, or who you surround yourself with. All of these things determine first impressions and what example you’re giving to others, especially young girls.

Am I committed?

Being a cover girl takes a lot of time and responsibility. Of course everyone has other activities, and sports, but can you make time to be cover girl? It is a full-time job of representing a dress, advertised businesses, and Quinceañera magazine. Also you will be expected to make appearances at events maybe even after your time as covergirl, and you too become a team member of QM. People will recognize you and notice how you carry yourself. Commitment is key to excellence.

As you can see, being a cover girl is more than just a pretty girl pictured on a magazine. She is a symbol of hard work, commitment, and modesty. These things combined are more beautiful than physical beauty. It is a privilege and a once in a life time opportunity and the girl that is most qualified will win. Before you make the decision to be a contestant, ask yourself honestly: do I have what it takes to be the next cover of Quinceañeras Magazine?

He announces your Tio Juan as Tio Jose and ignores the order of the Court. You are introduced to a song you’ve never heard before and your Vals sounds like something they play at the circus.

place to search for your DJ. However, meeting them face to face and seeing exactly what they offer is essential to see if their style matches what you’re looking for. Here are some things to remember when choosing your DJ for your Quinceañera : Has he done a Quinceañera before and is he familiar with the traditions and music played at the event.

Does he have a clear and appealing voice? He’ll be doing plenty of announcements throughout the night. Not only introductions, but keeping your guests informed as to the formalities of the evening.

Will he meet with you and your parents and exchange ideas that will make the party much more enjoyable for everyone ?

and by asking the right questions of your DJ, you can avoid this disaster and have the quinceañera you’ve always dreamed about. A large majority of you have never hired a DJ. It’s assumed that they are all the same. There is a huge difference between a professional experienced DJ / Host and that friend of the family who plays at all the house parties and family gatherings. While he may be capable of handling these parties, it takes a true professional to make your event successful and fun for everyone.

have a written detailed contract for his services. If he says “Don’t worry about it. I’ll show up.” Run! Run away!! If it’s a company that offers multiple DJ’s make sure you meet the DJ assigned to you and that there is a guarantee that he will remain your DJ. He should also have liability insurance.

and others to make sure the nights flows smoothly.

Can he create an exciting dance party. Your family and friends came to dance. Can he supply the right mix to keep the dance floor pumping all night.

The cost of great entertainment should not be the determining factor in your decision to hire a DJ. By setting your priorities ahead of time as to what is most important to you, you can have a fun and memorable event and still stay within your budget.

It is very important that your DJ represent you and your family in the best way possible. He should ask you about sensitive issues involving your family and friends. He should ask about who your guests are so that they will be included into the celebration.

Especially if they’re coming from out of town.

The equipment your DJ brings should be professional and be presented in a clean manner that doesn’t interfere with the rooms décor. The music should be clean edited so that your Tias won’t be embarrassed.

Can your DJ make you feel special and make your dreams come true.

Such a special moment in you life should be just that – special. It’s been said that a DJ can make or break a party. Don’t take a chance and hire the wrong entertainment. Shop for the one that best matches your personality and needs. It’s your day.

Demand the best. You deserve it.
