Matt Chase at Windells: The Videos

Last week we posted about Pulse Management Action Sports', Matt Chase and his impressive sessions are Windells. Without any further delay, we want to show you a couple of the videos he was featured in.  In the first video Matt appears at 0:49, and this video was posted originally on Transworld Snow and OnBoard Magazine, which is huge in and of itself. To watch the videos click on the links below, and enjoy!

In the second video, found here Matt is featured at 1:05 and two clips starting at 1:47.  We are looking forward to this winter and seeing what Matt has up his sleeve!

Throwback Thursday: Guess Who?

Happy Thursday everyone!  For this week's Throwback Thursday we are featuring the one and only, Olivia Hamilton.  Clearly Olivia has always loved posing for the camera, the wardrobe has just changed a little!  Olivia went from an adorable kid, to one of the most composed and competent 16 year old models we have worked with.  We can't wait to see what else her career has ahead.

Did you all see that Vogue posted a Throwback feature online last week showing models' childhood pictures? Check it out here.  It looks like we aren't the only ones who love a good model TBT!

Natalie Keyser for Moire Magazine

We know that we have been gushing over Natalie Keyser, and her photo shoots from her time working in Mexico City, but seriously... look at these pictures, how could we not? These tear sheets are from an editorial she did for Moire Magazine in Mexico, and basically she is perfection in these pictures.  Natalie's versatility never ceases to amaze us.  Its hard to believe the model on these pages, is also the model from this editorial we posted about a couple of weeks ago.  One of the signs of a good model is their ability to transform for the art direction of a photo shoot, and we have always thought Natalie was one of the best models we know at doing just that

Sneak Peek of Alex Wallace in Tinsel Tokyo Magazine

You guys remember Alex Wallace right? She won our online model search.  She had her test shoot a couple months ago, and the photographer who shot her test shoot just used her in a photo shoot for Tinsel Tokyo Magazine.  Rodney Ray, the photographer of the shoot, sent us over a few sneak peeks from his camera, and let's just say we are more than excited to see the final images selected for the editorial! 

Alex sent us over a few pics of her from the shoot, and we are swooning over the wardrobe she got to wear, especially the dress in the bottom picture.  Talk about a major high fashion moment!  When I asked Alex about the shoot she said:

Working with Tinsel Tokyo was amazing! The clothes were magnificent and the people were awesome! It was great working with Rodney again, he's extremely talented and I learned so much, everyone working on the set deserves huge praise. They were all wonderful and so helpful. Overall, it was a great experience and I can't wait to see the photos in August's issue of Tinsel Tokyo! 

We can't wait to see the editorial when it is published as well! In the meantime enjoy these few pictures we do have.

  

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Alisha Judge for Milk X Magazine

Today's MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY is a more current one, that we haven't shared yet on our blog.  These images are from Alisha Judge's April 2014 editorial in Milk X Magazine.  Milk X is a Hong Kong based magazine that is consistently churning out relevant high fashion editorials, and we are thrilled that this one featured our girl Alisha.  Alisha has been traveling all over the world the past year, and we are excited to see what the fall fashion season has in store for this talented model.

Matt Chase at Windells Camp

To say that Matt Chase is having a good summer would be putting it mildly.  He recently finished up two sessions at Windells, a camp dedicated to the progression of snowsports athletes.  To help put things into context many of the Olympians and X Games athletes attend or have attended Windells, so in the snowboarding world it is a huge deal.  

While Matt has been at Windells, we haven't been the only ones tracking his progress, he has been noticed by a lot of the press that attends the camp sessions. His photos were featured in this post on Yobeat.  Onboard Magazine included him in their video/write up of Windells, where he got a shout out in the second sentence of the article!  Whitelines Mag are proving to be big Matt Chase fans, especially in this article. Transworld Snowboarding Magazine also too note of Matt and included him in this photo recap they did.

Matt was also featured in some killer video recaps of Windells, but we are going to leave you hanging and post them next week.  So make sure you check back, you won't be disappointed!

Throwback Thursday: Guess Who?

For today's Throwback Thursday, we are not only keeping it in the Pulse Management family, we are keeping it in the Eastman family.  That cute little guy at the front of the picture is the one and only Armon Eastman!  Armon recently returned from a working in Paris, alongside another Pulse model, Carson Bruner.  He has been in pretty high demand since we signed him, making his dad Stacey Eastman (Pulse Mgmt President) proud!  Also pictured above is Alec Eastman, one of the six Eastman siblings.  Alec is currently in the Bio Chemical Engineering Program at the University of Michigan, which makes his dad just as proud!

If you are currently a Pulse Model and want to be one of our Throwback Thursday posts, please email your childhood picture to lisa@pulsemgmt.com.

We Love Olivia Hamilton!

Photos from a test shoot with High Fashion Photographer William Lords in NYC

 We received the nicest email from Olivia Hamilton, one of our models, and we just had to share it with you all! We've said it before, but sometimes it helps potential models and their parents see what our current models have to say about working with us, in their own words.  We are so proud of Olivia, and we can't wait to share with you all the MAJOR job she just booked.  We can't spill the details yet, but just wait, it is BIG!

Dear Stacey,
    I cannot say anything besides positive things about what you have done for my life. When I was discovered in Denver, my hometown, I never expected my life to bloom into what it is today. Because of you, I've been to Los Angeles and New York and also completed over 65 jobs in 15 weeks in Tokyo. All this happened before the age of 16 and I can only imagine what's coming next. I don't know how you do it but you make things happen. Currently I am preparing for New York Fashion Week!!! That's something that I never thought I'd be able to say.
    Not only am I traveling the world and experiencing amazing things in the fashion industry, but I'm also being supported by the best family one could ask for...Pulse!!! You guys are my new BFFs, travel buddies, and family members. No matter where I am or what I'm doing you make me feel at home. When I travel the world with friends from Pulse and build new relationships it makes the experience even better. Stacey, I love how you always take the time to make sure that your girls and their families are comfortable and familiar with everything! For example, my dad is now supportive of my modeling and trusts the Pulse team completely...and I never thought that would happen.
    All and all, you have turned my life around for the better! I am now a world traveler and a working model with growing friendships and a supportive family <3 Thanks for everything Stacey Eastman! God bless you and everyone partnered with Pulse!!!
        Much love,
        -Olivia Hamilton

Sophia Skloss in Tokyo

A couple weeks ago we posted this about Sophia Skloss' (model in the stripes) first few days in Tokyo.  We are happy to report that we have received several great updates from Sophia and her mom, who are continuing to enjoy their trip to Japan.  We love that through modeling, we get to send these amazing young men and women (and sometimes their parents) to places they would not have otherwise been going, at least not as frequently.  Being able to open up someone's eyes to a new culture and a new place is almost as rewarding as seeing each model gain confidence as she learns to navigate a new place.  We also love seeing the work each model does in each city!  Keep up the good work Sophia, and we are so glad you and your mom are enjoying Tokyo.  (Also pictured is another model Sophia befriended and that model's mom)

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah Holman for Miu Miu

For today's Major Moment Monday, we are going back to F/W 2009 when Pulse Management discovery Hannah Holman booked the Miu Miu ad campaign.  So many things were huge about this job for Hannah.  First of all it is Miu Miu, it was shot by the famed photographing duo Mert and Marcus, and then just look at the images.  I always love Miu Miu ads from a model's standpoint because they say the models names right on the ad, which is kind of cool. We love looking back at this ad, and since we just featured Hannah as our Throwback Thursday model, we thought it was appropriate to show you one of her biggest career moments.

Olivia in NYC

Oh Olivia, New York City agrees with you! We are loving these black and white images from your test shoot with Richard Guaty.  Olivia Hamilton, one of our models from Colorado has been in New York City recently and we knew she would do amazingly out there.  New York City is one of the hardest markets to work in for a model, but Olivia is handling it like a pro.  It definitely helps that she has worked in Asia extensively, so by the time she got to NYC she had a lot of experience in front of the camera.  That was our plan for her (as her management), and we are thrilled to see it working out so well!  We love you Olivia, and keep up the good work!

Pulse Mgmt Throwback Thursday: Guess Who?

Hey everyone, it's Thursday again, meaning it is time for another Pulse Management TBT! In the future if you want to see just the throwback picture first, check it out on our instagram, and then come here to the blog to see the answer.  Our TBT for this week is one of our most successful models, Hannah Holman.  We discovered Hannah at a mall only a few years after this picture was taken and the rest is modeling history.  To see more of what Hannah has accomplished since we launched her modeling career, click here.

If any of our models would like to be a TBT, please email your childhood picture to lisa@pulsemgmt.com.

Natalie Keyser for SPOON MAGAZINE

Natalie Keyser is perfectly, hauntingly scary in the above video and accompanying editorial for Spoon Magazine. Natalie said that this shoot was one of her favorites in her 10 year modeling career. Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman, also loves this shoot.  He has an affinity for vampires ever since he took a tour of the Parisian Catacombs with a few of our top models working in Paris.  We can't believe the transformation of Natalie in these pictures.  If we didn't know her better, we would be genuinely scared that she had transformed into a real vampire, because this styling is that believable. We keep saying that Natalie is at the top of her game, and these pictures and video are just further proof of that.

In Their Own Words: Charlee and Mari Lou Pilon

A lot of people who visit this blog are potential models and their parents.  This post is especially for you.  We know that the modeling industry is an intimidating one to enter, and we thought it would be helpful hearing from one of our models and her mom, in their own words about their involvement with Pulse Management. Charlee and Mari Lou, thank you for your kind words, we love and appreciate you both!

Hi Stacey!

As you know, I'm currently working, and living in New York City all thanks to you & pulse management! Scouted my freshman year of high school at a track meet never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would ever have a chance to model and travel the world! It's been a whirlwind and something I never thought was possible, but I feel so blessed & grateful for all that you, your family, & pulse management have done for me. Being so involved in my school & sports I decided it would be best for me to have a normal high school experience, & opted out on going home schooled to start my modeling career sooner. For me, personally, it was just the best decision, and I really appreciate how you and pulse respected my decision, but also never gave up on me and waited until I was ready to take on the fashion world. You've been nothing but helpful & accommodating to me & my family through this whole process. I know when I need advice, help, or just someone in my corner you're always there & I'm extremely grateful for that. I feel like there's a lot of negativity in the media about modeling or the fashion industry in general, but I can honestly say my experience has been nothing but positive. I've gotten to travel to places I never dreamed I'd have the chance of going to, experience stuff teenage girls dream of, & meet so many new friends & form new relationships. All of pulse's partner agencies have treated me with nothing but respect and truly care about my career, and me personally as well. I'm extremely grateful for you, pulse & everything you & partner agencies have done for me & family. God bless & see you soon! 

-Charlee Pilon

Hi Stacey, 

Just wanted to say thank you for all you have done for Charlee. As you know she is in New York now working and having the experience of her life! The other Pulse girls, some of her roommates, have become her good friends and she is meeting girls from all over the world. We know we could never do this without you as her manager. You have been there from the beginning to make sure that every experience Charlee has is positive. She knows that you have her back always! She can call you anytime with anything!! As a mom it is important to know that Charlee is being taken care of 5,000 miles away from home! We are so grateful for you! We appreciate that you waited for Charlee to graduate from high school and now she is giving her all to modeling! Thank you for being patient and even supportive of all of her high school athletics. She knows that you care about her as a whole person!! I could not be the mom of a model without you! Thank you for everything!! 

Mari Lou Pilon

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah Holman for Marc Jacobs

For today's Major Moment Monday, we are going back 4 years to the S/S 2010 Marc by Marc Jacobs ad campaign starring none other than Pulse Management discovery, Hannah Holman.  You fashion lovers out there will remember this collection of Marc's with the oversized hair accessories (Madonna wore one to the Met Ball).  This was an exciting time in Hannah's career because after a few years of waiting, and of us hearing she was too short to ever book a high fashion job, our perseverance paid off and Hannah was suddenly all over the fashion scene.  Marc Jacobs loved Hannah, and decided to use her as the model for the launch of his Daisy perfume in 2011.  In the fashion world, once Marc Jacobs gives his seal of approval, you are pretty much golden.  Soon Hannah was walking runways for Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel), modeling for Miu Miu and she was the first campaign model ever for Alexander Wang.  Not too bad for a girl from Delta, Utah, who people told us would never work!
