The Secret to Victoria's Secret

Don't let the bright lights, singing pop stars, and network exposure fool you. What those models wear in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show are plain old bra and panties from the retail giant that are embellished with extra glitter, rhinestones, ornaments, and whatever props the scene calls for. If you walk with grace, power, and confidence, you're swim suit can look like theirs too ladies (and some of you naughty fellas).

P.S.
Look at how they STRIDE and use fluidity on the catwalk. No dramatics needed, except a lil cheesy wink or arm movement here and there.

Epiphany and Mozik: “One Show” Review (Part 2)

Here's a continuation of the previous post.


Paris (Mozik)

Mozik’s theme was Paris, the birth place of high fashion. What better troupe to tackle this challenge than a troupe whose fashion has been some of the best and most creative in North Carolina on the east coast?
The scene took place in the Louvre, one of the most famous museums on the planet.  Like Epiphany, I couldn’t get much from the voice over to understand the entire premise of the scene. The part I got was Mozik’s (MMT) executive board wondering around and being found by a curator, who then shows them the cultural works housed in the museum.

Epiphany and Mozik: “One Show” Review (Part 1)



Last month, I attended the first ever joint production put on by both Epiphany and Mozik Modeling Troupes of Winston-Salem State University. When initially starting this blog, I intended to never review any show of the two to not step on toes be biased as a former student of WSSU. Then I thought about how a constructive critique can be the best thing for all to hear and learn from cause…well I want them both to kick ass on the east coast and be known far and wide. Can’t do that holding back now can we?

Let’s just start off  with how proud I am that the two campus rivals came together and were civilized! It took almost a decade for this show to happen, but the models and organizers didn’t let past petty dramas, allegations, and sucker punches get to them well, sort of.

Evalesco Models: My Style, My Swag, My Show '11

Wasn't too impressed with this show. The routines were intricate, the music was high octane, but it all seemed so similar to what everyone else is doing, and I know EVALESCO can do better. The fashion was passable. However, routines aside, what makes this a unique show?

Images Modeling Troupe - 2011 Spring Show Teaser

Now this is how you do a commercial/teaser to titillate your fan base about a show. The video was of good quality, the models were hot, and I loved the old school realness that the performers gave. If you're going to be a traditional urban modeling troupe, then this is the swag you need to have.
