New York, NY—Elite Model Management (Elite) will open its first United States scouting office in SoSaLa…South Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday, May 31, 2008.

The New York-based modeling and talent agency is partnering with Salt Lake City-based Pulse Management, and Pulse founder Stacey Eastman, to facilitate the opening and day-to-day office operations. The Elite Model Management office, located at 2150South Main Street, is the anchor tenant for the city’s half a billion dollar development Market Station “The Center of Everything” real estate project.

“I chose Salt Lake City for Elite’s first scouting office because there is something magical about the region,” said Neal Hamil, Elite’s Director of North America. “There’s just something undeniable about the region as producing phenomenal beauties.

The Elite scouting office will host an opening ceremony event on Saturday, May 31, 2008 featuring South Salt Lake City Mayor Bob Grey, Senator Bennett and others. Salt Lake City native Ali Stephens, a rising fashion star, will be on hand as well. Stephens was discovered in the Salt Lake City area by Elite’s partners Pulse Mgmt, signed with Elite in 2007 and has since become one of the most sought after models in the fashion industry. Stephens has walked the runway for designer brands such as Calvin Klein in New York, Prada in Milan and Christian Dior in Paris this past February and appeared in several world renown advertising campaigns such as Chloe and Calvin Klein.

11. Other people's biggest misconception about me is? I bet a few people think im your "typical girlie blonde" but the truth is...I'm actually more on the tomboy side. I never have been a fan of the color pink, I would rather go to a hockey game than the mall, and I grew up wearing my big brothers hand-me-downs because I refused to wear a dress!

28. Describe your perfect mate. Sensitive, Funny, Easy-Going, and Smart.

29. What annoys you the most? Hmmm, I hate when somebody denies saying something I know they said. Its also annoying watching the windshield wipers and how they miss the corners.

30. When you were little, you wanted to be...? A veterinarian or a marine biologist.

31. What are your goals now? My goals are to live a happy life and accomplish many great things.

32. Which holiday do you like best???? Christmas!! or the 4th of July.

33. How were you discovered? While I was buying converse at the gateway!

34. How do you feel about the experience? I feel like its the most AMAZING thing that has ever happened to me and that I'm extremely lucky to be one girl out of millions that's living it!

35. What have you done? Where have you been? I have done some really fun photo shoots and have been casted as an extra in High School Musical 3. I have so far traveled to L.A and am off to New York in April.

36. Any advice for new models? I'm still pretty new at it myself, but my best advice would to just be yourself and don't let the pressure get to you.

37. Most embarrassing moment? I can't think of one right now, but trust me there are plenty!

38. What were the reactions of others when you were deciding to get into modeling? They were all just very proud and supportive.

39. Does anyone treat you different now that you made it? Well there are a few people that I never really talked to that are suddenly talking to me, and I don't even know how they found out. Its kind of annoying but oh well!

A Message from Her Parents

1. What were the reactions of others when you were deciding to get your son/daughter into modeling? Many warned of the difficult nature of the modeling industry. Not only difficult mentally, emotionally and physically but of the potential path that it might lead to such as involvement with drugs etc. Others expressed what a great opportunity it is.

2. Does anyone treat you different now that your son/daughter made it? Not at all.

3. What has been your overall perception? My perception has been that expectations are often to high for the girls that are involved. Additionally, many of the girls including Anja are impatient, they want things to happen over night. Further, it has been a great opportunity to meet new and interesting people. The overall experience to date has been great.

4. What would you like the world to know about your son/daughter outside of being a model? It is not important to me that “the world” know of my daughter. Having said that, it would be most important for them to know that Anja is first and foremost a wonderful person, one that cares for others and is not self centered. Additionally, Anja possesses other wonderful qualities above and beyond her looks and talents as a model.

5. Any silly moments they've had? To many to count. The one that stands out in my mind is, on one photo shoot, one of the pictures came back and due to the angle the lighting etc. it looked like Anja had a boil on her face the size of a golf ball. I had fun teasing her about that one.

6. Advice for other parents? I would advise parents to be patient and to communicate to their child/model. I would also suggest that they take the experience for what it is, just that, an experience that viewed properly can be a lot of fun. Keep expectation in check, and yet, do what is within your ability to help promote and advance a possible career in modeling. Additionally, I would advise to stress the importance of all other good aspects of life and continue to promote all the other gifts and talents that their child possesses. Keep your child grounded as to what is really important in life and that what really matters is who you are as an individual. I would advise and communicate the potential pitfalls as well as the rewards that a career in modeling can offer.
