Stacey's Red Carpet Interview at the Inside Amato Premiere

While we were in New York for Fashion Week in September, we were invited to attend the premiere of Rocco Leo Gaglioti's film Inside Amato by Furne One. (In case you missed it we posted about our night at the premiere here) Stacey was interviewed on the red carpet, and in the above compilation of the red carpet interviews you can see our Stacey starting at 0:13. Way to represent Pulse Stacey, and we think you should be interviewed on Red Carpets more often!

Thanksgiving Hawaiian Style

Stacey Eastman and Jodie Gordon

Not only was this the Eastman family's first Thanksgiving since their move to Hawaii, they were lucky to have some amazing visitors join them. Jodie Gordon and Travis Kipp from Fusion Model Management. Having business partners that feel like family is definitely something to be thankful for, and this trip is going to have to be a Thanksgiving tradition!

John Casablancas Movie

Recently an article ran in Harper's Bazaar about the documentary that is being made about John Casablancas. For those of you not familiar with him, John Casablancas is coined as the man who invented the supermodel. He founded Elite Model Management, which turned Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bundchen, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and many more into the household names they are now.  His impact on the modeling industry is undeniable.

Pulse Management President Stacey Eastman, had the pleasure of working with Casablancas for many years.  John Casablancas saw potential in Stacey and over the years they worked together, Casablancas served as Stacey's mentor, and eventually the two were business partners for a number of years.

The link for the trailer to the film is here.  While we don't agree with or condone everything in the movie and the trailer, we want to publicly express our gratitude for John Casablancas for giving Stacey a start in the modeling industry.

Our New Star is Stacey!

You all have seen our posts about our models, but it looks like Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman, is one of our newest superstars!  These pictures are from when he attended the premiere of Inside Amato by Furne One, during fashion week.  We posted about the premiere here, just in case you missed it.  Now we have to get our hands on the video of Stacey's red carpet interview, and you better believe when we do we will post it for you all to see.

We were honored to attend the premiere and support Fashion News Live's Rocco Leo Gaglioti as he screened his film.  We are continually impressed by the red carpet and backstage coverage that Fashion News Live produces, and if you haven't seen it make sure to check it out here.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Sophia Skloss for Delpozo

Sophia's first look in the show

Last week while some of the Pulse Management crew was in New York City for Fashion Week, we  had the pleasure to watch our model Sophia Skloss in the Delpozo Spring 2016 Ready-to-wear show. We went to dinner with Sophia and her mom Karin, the night before the show and she was telling us all about how chaotic fashion week had been, but also about how much she was loving it.

It was such a treat getting to watch Sophia walk the runway, especially at a show as beautiful as this one.  One of the things I loved the most about watching this particular show, is that the hair and makeup wasn't over the top, it just allowed the models to look like themselves.  (My front row seat (!!!) also helped me see all of the details of the clothing, bags, and shoes that may have been harder to catch by viewing the pictures online later)

While we were waiting for the show to start we had the opportunity to chat with Sophia's mom, and I have to say how impressed I was with both her and Sophia.  She mentioned that as parents, she and Sophia's dad prioritize Sophia's education and her grades.  When she wanted to go to this NYFW, her dad said she would only be able to go if her grades were at a certain level. So Sophia worked hard and got her grades where they needed to be so she would be able to walk in the shows.  Sometimes being a model looks glamorous (which it can be), but there is also a lot of work that goes into it, including keeping up with your school work, and it shows a lot about Sophia that she is willing to put in the work so she can continue with her career.

Sophia is currently in London walking the runways for London Fashion week, and we will keep you updated on all of her exciting bookings there. In the meantime enjoy these photos and videos that will give you a behind the scenes and up close look at this amazingly beautiful fashion show.

Fashion News Live Interview and Inside Amato Premiere

Rocco Leo Gaglioti and Stacey Eastman at the film premiere

Last night some members of the Pulse Management team were able to attend the New York City premiere of the movie Inside Amato by Furne One, and the Art Hearts Fashion Week Gala after it.  If you remember we, we partnered with Fashion News Live for fashion week coverage, and hopefully you have been checking out their videos here.

Fashion News Live founder, Rocco Leo Gaglioti, directed the film and we loved being able to see his passion for the industry come through on the screen.  Stacey was invited to do an interview on the red carpet, and as soon as we get the footage we will post it for you all to see.

We spend so much time working on managing and finding out models, it was such a treat to go out for a night with some of our Pulse Management team members, who at this point are pretty much family!

Stacey and Our Oahu Crew

Aaron, Honolua, Bree, Stacey, Shez, and Kelsey

Yesterday Stacey Eastman, President of Pulse Management, took a quick trip to the North Shore of Oahu to check in our our crew of models and athletes out there.  Fashion Show season is about to kick off in New York in a little over a week, and Stacey will soon be out there with out models for the shows, so he wanted to check in with our group in the islands before he heads out to the opposite side of the country.

Stacey met up with Bree Hanneman (model/scout/photographer), Aaron Jessee (surfer), Honolua Blomfield (surfer), Shez Hanneman (model), and Kelsey Hussey (a model that we introduced you to yesterday).  With Stacey located in Kona now, it is a quick trip to see this group and we are hoping to get some more momentum going on these amazing people, because the world needs to know all of them. Stay tuned everyone!

"Opening up of the Hawaiian Islands is going to bring many fruits to all. Hoping a short 30 min flight from Kona to North Shore and see what our amazing scout Bree has been doing is well worth the sunset flight home to my wife and kids. We are blessed. Mahalo Island kids." -Stacey Eastman

Pulse Management Introduces: Emma Harris

We had a ton of traffic on our blog last week, and we are so excited that so many of you wanted to see more pictures of some of our new faces!  We have a few more to show you, and we are just as excited about the group of pictures we are showing you this week as we were last week.

This stunner is Emma Harris, who we scouted not once but TWICE!  Our scout Lacey saw Emma in Reno, Nevada and spoke to her about modeling with Pulse.  The two months later while Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman, was at the mall in Boise, Idaho he spotted Emma working at Orange Julius.  We like to think this means destiny played a hand in our signing Emma, and we are so thrilled she is one of our models.

Below are some digital polaroids of Emma and then the pictures from her Dolls Test Shoot with Timothy Rosado.  Enjoy the pics, and we have a feeling you will be seeing a lot more of this beauty!

Big Day for the Eastman Family!

If you have met Stacey and Shayna Eastman (President and COO of Pulse Management), you probably have heard about how much they love Hawaii.  Ever since I have met them I have heard about how they are planning on moving out to the islands, and TODAY is the big day.  Along with their beautiful children they are making the move today.  We want to wish them good luck on their move, and we can't wait to see more pictures of their new Hawaiian life.  

How does this affect your model management, or your potential to model for Pulse Management?  The good news is it won't! The great thing about technology these days is we can manage you from anywhere.  We are looking forward to huge things for our models in September, and we already have models working all over the globe right now.  Even a huge move halfway across the Pacific can't slow us down!

Dolls Shoot in NYC

Stacey and Shayna Eastman are wrapping up a whirlwind weekend in New York City where we had our latest Dolls Test Shoot.  We moved the Dolls Shoots to New York City a few months ago and so far we are loving meeting our new models in NYC.  Being in New York also is beneficial because we can meet up with our models that are working in the city, and we can meet up with our partners at Fusion.  This weekend was filled with a lot of work, a lot of laughs, and left us all feeling excited about some of the new faces we signed!

We Love Natalie Keyser!

A few days ago Stacey Eastman, President of Pulse Management, received the sweetest texts from one of our models.  Natalie Keyser, one of our more successful models as you can see HERE, said the following:

"...I wanted to thank you again for seeing me when no else did and believing in me. I don't know where in life I would have been without those amazing life experiences. It's because of you. You believed in me and never stopped. You have no idea how grateful I am that you actually cared enough to always push me forward into doing something that I loved. I miss it sometimes, very much. And I know that I'll never be able to go back, but knowing that you cared enough about me and my family to push me and listen even when I was annoying, I just can't thank you enough for those life experiences. You'll always be my favorite agent and a wonderful friend. I can just never thank you enough for what you did for me. I'm not sure I ever told you all of that. But you are an amazing person in my life and a great role model. I'll never forget what you have done for me and I just hope that you're forever in my life. I love you and your family Stacey. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I will forever be grateful."

We discovered Natalie and started her modeling career when she was only 12 years old and managed her for about a decade.  When a model signs with us she becomes not only a part of our roster of models, but she becomes like family to us.  We are forever grateful to you Natalie, for trusting us with your career and helping you develop into the beautiful woman you are today.

Andy Blunt

Most of you know us as model management, but we also manage action sports athletes.  Action sports are a passion of Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman.  Where Stacey exceeds is finding crossover opportunities for the athletes within the fashion world.  One example of this is when we booked Andy Blunt, who we represented for a few different action sports, a campaign with Abercrombie and Fitch.  This is where we differ from regular model or sports management.  We exist and thrive in both markets.  We recently got the following message from Andy, and were so touched that we had to share it with you all.

"Stacey Eastman has run Pulse Management for years.  He got me the Abercrombie job back in college and quickly became a good friend.  He didn't get me the booking by sending me out on a million auditions or just sending my info out (though he can and does send his talents' info out to all of the important contacts).  He knew how to get me in front of the decision makers and got it done.   Since then Pulse has grown immensely.  Stacey is big-time and connected to all the right people to grow his talents' careers properly.  More important than any of that is that Stacey is a good man and great guy.  He's a father and family man, active LDS and all around is one to do the right thing be it with his talent or family and friends.  He is stand-up.  When I modeled he took care of me like an older brother would and looked out for my best interests.   He handles high-fashion models as well as action sports athletes.  In fact he represents a couple of good surfers.  He has family ties to San Diego and is a surfer, snowboarder and kiteborder.  He gets San Diego and those of us that grew up there and will get you and your boys immediately and knows the surf industry..." - Andy Blunt
