VirDiko Modeling Promotion


I have to say I thank the people at VirDiko For taking their time out to support me as a model. This is the place to be when you are an artist or model. Every week they send out a blast promoting artists,models and more.

They really take the time to try the best in all they can do and I think this is a nice place to start .

I love getting emails from them because I would see the latest in music and the hottest models who made their page and I'm so grateful and thankful for them.


Thank you so much in all that you do.

Toodles for now,
XOXO'S

Razzle Dazzle Barbershop GrandOpening & Fundraiser for SafeSpace

What an amazing event ! What an amazing woman who made this event possible. Razzle Dazzle Barbershop is a great place for men to go and get pampered. It's a vintage barbershop catered to the men we love and it's an amazing place . Razzle Dazzle Barbershop is owned by the beautiful Elena. This woman is an inspiration and a wonderful person.


She wanted to do an event supporting the victims of domestic violence. With that subject in mind there are millions of women and children who are in need of assistance in this situation. I used to work as a social worker for SAFESPACE and when approached by Angelina from ACFG girls dance squad and Elena I had to support.

Elena made a star studded event full of glamour, fashion, dance and fun . She has been an inspiration to us all in the community of Miami Dade County and we all love her for it. Being a survivor of domestic violence and an advocate myself I want to say to you Elena " You are truly beautiful inside as you are outside and truly you are one of God's angels."

Here are some of the clips with co hosts from Miami's Deco Drive channel 7 of us rocking this event as well as Elena cutting the ribbon to her new shop in Mary Brickel Village in Miami Florida.

Anaiyah : Behind the Scenes : One on One Exclusive

When i first started modeling I was a pin up model as in pinned up for my great grandmother's clothing. She would sew uniforms for the children in the neighborhood in Jamaica. Wow was she talented. After she was done with her outfits I would take the scraps and create dresses, shorts, hats, pants, and skirts for my dolls with a neighborhood friend of mine since my mother couldn't afford to buy me doll clothes. It was fun I started sewing around the age of seven.

                  Later on I continued to learn off my mother since well practically every female in my mother's family knew how to sew, design and illustrate fashions. I recall when I was eight years old I was watching the fashion netowrk channel at the time and I made a blue rayon dress with a long train for my doll and something remotely simular came up on the screen. My auntie Winsome was estatic and ran and told my mother I will grow up having a passion for fashion.


                 As I grew older around the age of 12 or thirteen I began doing local runway venues for small boutiques around the North Miami area. I was the town favorite. As time passed on I struggled my way through into becoming some what of a success story for my mother. She put me in alot of things. Dance , Music Appreciation, Chorus, and even Basketball. My mother made it an effort for me to grow up with so many outlets of opportunities. I am so thankful for her.


Around 16 or 17 I decided to make clothing for my best friend Darlene. Her mother couldn't afford school clothes so I would either make them from scratch or what most call today creatively style her clothing. I would resuchure her clothing, do her hair , nails and feet so she would look super original for class everyday.
On my senior year of high school I became a featured columnist for my high school newspaper as a fashion critic. Ironically enough , I am now a part owner to a online high fashion publication.


Later on in my early twenties I regained all my strength and became who I am today. A struggling artist who's motivation started from the age of seven.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blogs and learning more and more about me.

THE MAN BEHIND THE LENSE: TRIBUTE BLOG TO PHOTOGRAPHY BY LEON



I've noticed  that so many people love these photos, but still havent pieced the guy who shot them. He is the exclusive photographer to my High Fashion Magazine "THE MIAMI STYLE". He has shot two covers so far flawlessly but I was his protoge model for many years. Throughout the time working with Leon, he has taught me to become stronger in my posing , presence and overall presentation.

Many people have mixed opinions about him , but folks he is the real deal. By presentation alone his gear isn't just a camera and a flash. Leon comes to everyshoot with the best camera equippment, sufficient lighting, and he's really a great guy to work with.

He also is good wtih runway images, stock photography , calendars, posters , model and actor's portfolios and musicians photos. Basically his images are so good you can get them processed at any Photo Development center around your neighborhood and get good quality photographs.

He believes that presentation and delivery is key. I thank Leon for the effortless times he has gone far and beyond by developing me as a model and taking that extra mile for the magazine. Once again Leon old chap , Bravo !
