Congrats Ashland!

Ashland Wendlandt now has her own profile on models.com! As we have mentioned previously, having a profile on models.com is a major milestone in any model's career because you have to be selected to be included amongst the other top tier of working high fashion models. We think that Ashland's recent work for Dior (as we chronicled HERE, HERE, and HERE) are more than enough to get her a profile on Models.com, and we're glad that we aren't the only ones!  You can see Ashland's profile HERE.  Congrats Ashland, we can't wait to help you start filling up that page with jobs!

Feeling Nostalgic with Natalie Keyser

The other day on Facebook I saw the above picture and the following post from our model Natalie Keyser:

"So I'm packing up my apartment and I dropped a heavy box. Turns out it's all my modeling pictures. There must be at least 500 pictures here and these aren't even including my last NYC trip or Mexico trip or half of my jobs...considering I haven't even seen all of my work. I'm proud of myself. I had a wonderful career."

Seeing that pile of pictures had me thinking about all of the blog posts I have written about this talented young woman over the years, and all of the pictures posted.  To see more about the amazing things Natalie accomplished in her career click HERE.  You deserve to be proud of yourself Nat, we are proud of everything we accomplished together, and thank our lucky stars that our scout found you so many years ago.  

Corey Scott for Von Dutch

Corey Scott looks as handsome as ever in this picture we found of his campaign for Von Dutch.  Corey is perfectly cast in this ad, and Von Dutch is trying to raise brand awareness with it's slogan "Von Dutch is still alive", and we can't think of a better model to prove to everyone that it is still a hot brand!  Keep up the good work Corey, we have a feeling this won't be the last time you see yourself in a wall sized advertisement!

New Videos of One of Our New Faces

Man oh man we find the most amazing girls in Minnesota.  First we found our superstar Liz Kennedy there, and next up we have the stunning Hazel Eakman.  Hazel did a test shoot with Dolls a few months ago, and she is currently in NYC working with our partner Fusion Model Management.  She recently shot these videos with Shane Suban, and they are simply perfect.  We are looking forward to seeing great things from Hazel, and we can't wait make it happen!

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.

London Ladies

City of London consider yourself warned, our Pulse Girls are in full effect and ready to take on the fashion world!  Olivia Hamilton, Sophia Skloss, and Liz Kennedy are all in London right now, and we are loving seeing pics of our girls (from three different states) hanging out together halfway around the world.  These three are some of the most promising models we have ever represented and we are excited to see what comes from this trip for each of them.  As always we will keep you updated, so keep checking back!

Alex Romney in Turkey

You all may remember our model Alex Romney from this post and this one.  We discovered Alex in her homestate of Utah, she shot her test shoot with Dolls Model Management in Hollywood, and now is off in Europe for the summer to model.  She recently sent us the video below of her in Turkey, and we love seeing what she is up to.  When our models have to opportunities to travel we love to see them trying to learn more about the cultures they are in, and seeing the sights.  These models are seeing the world, and we love being able to facilitate these experiences for them.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Ashland in the Dior Haute Couture Show

Video from the official @Dior instagram

Last week we posted a teaser of when our girl, Ashland Wendlandt, walked in the Dior Haute Couture show, but now we have more pictures and details for all of you.  The Haute Couture shows in Paris are as high fashion as they come, and this Dior Fall 2015 Couture show did not disappoint.  It was held at the Musee Rodin, and many of the most important people in fashion were sitting front row. I can't emphasize enough what a big deal this show was!

You may remember that a few weeks ago Ashland walked in the Dior Tokyo show, and she made such an impression that she was then cast (Exclusive) in this Couture show in Paris.  Not bad for a model that we discovered in Wisconsin!  We love the backstage pictures that her mom sent us, it is always a treat to see somethings that most people aren't privy to.

Ashland, you are amazing and we are so proud of you!

Sophia Skloss on Models.com!

It's a big accomplishment for any model, and we are so proud of Sophia Skloss for now having her own profile on Models.com.  We have written about it before, but basically models.com is the go to site for modeling industry news.  You can't create your own profile on the site, they will create one for you when they think you have distinguished yourself amongst the many models trying to make it in the industry.  From now on, all of Sophia's jobs will be chronicled on her models.com profile, and she is recognized with the top models in the industry.  Huge congrats Sophia, now lets fill that profile with some jobs!

Liz Kennedy for Japanese Elle Magazine

Do you all remember last year when we posted THIS to share with you our excitement over Liz Kennedy's Elle Japan editorial?  Well, we finally came across another picture from the editorial and we had to share it with you.  I can't decide what is more stunning in this picture, Liz, her Valentino dress, or the sandy scenery?  Good thing I don't have to.  I'll just keep gazing at these photos, and I don't think I'll be the only one!

Bon Voyage Ashland and Jen!

Hopefully you all remember Ashland Wendlandt, our model from Wisconsin.  Since we discovered her and launched her career she has traveled to Los Angeles, New York (multiple times), Japan, and now she is in Paris where she walked in a show for Dior! (We'll update you more about that soon) Ashland's awesome mom Jen (who is also a scout for Pulse Mgmt), has been by her side for all of these trips.  Ashland is so lucky to have not only a management team that is looking out for her best interest,e but a mother who is willing to put her own life on hold to help her daughter pursue her dreams.  Granted they are both traveling to some incredible places, but it is not without some sacrifices (including missing her son's High School Graduation).  We are so grateful not only for the parents of our models trusting us with their son/daughter's careers, but for the things they willingly give up in order to support their children.   

Tori Praver with Chanel Iman for Dennis Basso

Yesterday we blogged about Pulse Management discovery Tori Praver and her three covers of Elle Italia.  In case you are wondering what she is up to now, she recently landed the Dennis Basso F/W 15 ad campaign alongside Chanel Iman.  You may know of the designer Dennis Basso because two of our models walked in his latest runway show, as we documented here.  

A Dennis Basso campaign is a big deal in the fashion world, previous models who have been in his campaigns are Coco Rocha, Naomi Campbell and the incomparable Iman.  The campaign had an article about it on WWD that you can read HERE.  Congrats Tori, we are looking forward to seeing more pics from the campaign when they are released.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Tori Praver Covers Elle Magazine THREE TIMES

For today's Major Moment Monday we are highlighting Tori Praver's THREE covers of Elle Italia.  Getting a cover of a magazine is exciting, but can you imagine landing three covers of not just any magazine, of an Elle Magazine?  This was and still is huge, and we are excited all over again just writing about it. Below are some of the photos from the accompanying editorials from these cover shoots.

We discovered Tori in Hawaii and then launched her modeling career.  She has gone on to become not only one of our most successful models, but she is a swimwear designer, and a wife and mother.  It's hard to imagine what she would be up to now if we never scouted her, but we are so glad we did!

Liz Kennedy for Elle Vietnam

As promised yesterday, without further delay, here are the pics from Liz Kennedy's editorial for Elle Vietnam.  We love the moodiness of these pictures, Liz looks nothing short of incredible per usual.  I love that we are really seeing some attitude, and for lack of a better word, fierceness in Liz's photos lately.  She has come a long way from the sweet 15 year old we scouted at a concert in Minnesota.  Congrats on this editorial Liz, Elle Magazine is a big deal and we are so proud of you!

Liz Kennedy in Emotion in Motion

Remember when we shared this post with you, about Liz Kennedy's time in Tokyo?  We we recently found these pictures from an editorial she did in Japan called Emotion, in Motion.  We are digging Liz's edgy look, she could fit right in with Joan Jett, and that is a big compliment.  Also, we just got a pic of Liz's new editorial for Elle Vietnam, and it is amazing.  Hmmmm, I think I'll share it with you tomorrow, so come back and check it out!

Have You Met Bella?

Pulse Management is proud to introduce the beautiful Bella as one of our new faces.  Bella was scouted in Hawaii by Bree Hanneman and we are thanking our lucky stars that Bree found her.  Bella lives in Hawaii, which worked out perfectly because Bree is an incredible photographer and this picture is from a photoshoot that they did together.  This just goes to show that when you pair a new model with a talented photographer some magic can happen.  We can see great things happening for this beauty, stay tuned for updates!

Olivia is Back in NYC

Look out New York City, because our girl Olivia Hamilton is back and she is looking better than ever!  After spending a little bit of time at home and catching up on her school work, she is back in the city that is practically becoming her second home.  We love seeing pictures of her, seemingly in her element in New York.  It is always reassuring to us when we see our models becoming comfortable with their surroundings in New York, because the fashion market there is crucial.  Also, looking at these pictures we can't help but think that if Olivia is looking this good in her instagram snaps, her photoshoots are going to be out of this world!

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah Holman for Sunday Times Style Magazine

For today's Major Moment Monday we are throwing it back to October of 2013, when this editorial of Pulse Management Discovery Hannah Holman was published.  The editorial ran in the Sunday Times Style Magazine, and Hannah looks as incredible as ever.  For those not familiar with this publication, it features some of the most prominent and promising models in the industry.  Over the years Karlie Kloss, Dourzen Kroes, Alexa Chung, Jourdan Dunn, Christy Turlington, Elle Macpherson and Alessandra Ambrosio have been in editorials in the mag, and thats just naming a few!  We were excited when Hannah booked this job that she would be included amongst so many of her talented peers.
