This week’s highlights: Anita De Bauch’s new book, June Ann in Playboy Mexico, Kindly Myers in For Guys Magazine and a new cover for Penumbra Photography.
Anita De Bauch’s new book
Model: Anita De Bauch
Anita De Bauch’s new book, titled The “Ugly” Girl’s Guide to Modelling, has been published and is currently available on Amazon, Waterstones, WH Smith and Fishpond. It will soon be available at Barnes & Noble. This book is Anita’s guide to freelance modelling, which proves that models don’t need to be agency-represented and meet runway modeling standards in order to succeed in the industry. As a full-time professional model and cover girl sponsored by numerous fashion and beauty companies, she reveals her tried and tested business tactics to maximize profits without being signed to an agency, posing techniques to unlock your natural beauty, as well as invites expert guests to share game-changing nutrition advice and personal stories of real life in the modelling industry.
Anita shows step by step how she achieved her status and continues to succeed in the world of modeling without being signed to an agency, or being over 5’8″, or being under 21. Here is what she said about the inspiration to write this book: “I wrote this book because I want women to realize that they don’t need perfect genetics, a personal styling team, thousands to spend on designer clothing, or an unlikely stroke of luck in order to model. All you need is a little insider knowledge and a lot of determination.”
June Ann in Playboy Mexico
Model: June Ann; Photographer: Lady Ashley Photography; Hair & Makeup: Kristen Parks
June Ann just recently got a full-page pictorial published in Playboy Mexico. This is definitely not her first time getting published. June has been featured in many magazines, including multiple other Playboy editions, as well as For Guys Magazine, MOLL Magazine, ARSENIC Magazine, Xpressions Magazine and more. She has been modeling for many years and has shot with over 100 photographers. We can’t wait to see what’s next for June!
Kindly Myers in For Guys Magazine
Model: Kindly Myers; Photographer: Nashville Fitness Photo
Kindly Myers was recently featured in For Guys Magazine. Over the past year, she has become a very familiar name and face in the MM Modeling News Roundups. The Nashville-based stunner has come a long way in her career and is one of the most sought-after glamour models in the industry. It’s only a matter of time before we see her beautiful face in another magazine.
New cover for MM Photographer
Photographer: Penumbra Photography; Model: Shelby Stepper
Kimberly, known on Model Mayhem as Penumbra Photography, just recently got her work featured on the cover of INDIEblush Magazine. Here is what Kimberly had to say about the experience: “I honestly didn’t know we were going to make the cover until the magazine had come out. There I was, staring at a link to the new issue with my image staring back at me on the cover. It was a nice feeling. I just smiled to myself. I was helping the team out, as a photographer, to capture all the INDIEblush models for 2015, so we had been shooting for several weeks on and off.
It was a lot of work, and there were so many things going on in between in my life that I probably wouldn’t have known about it even if they had told me prior to release. There was also another photographer shooting with me, David Alvarez. He’s great. Maybe, I just expected him to get cover since I hold him in such high regards. So, it was all pretty exciting when I found out and I definitely owe it all to the great model! She was killing it out there, it was hard to choose just one image to send in for the model spotlight, she had several great ones.” She is an emerging talent on Model Mayhem and we look forward to seeing more of her published work in the future.
