Wow – there’s so much going on.  To start – I’m a very married lady and married life is bliss.  Steven, my wonderful husband and I put off our honeymoon, but we will be heading down to South Beach for a long weekend to get out of the cold (along with my pooch Trixie, of course).  

One of our young models Ariel, was recently seen in a Harper’s Bazaar feature with Tyra Banks as Michele Obama and she was the Sasha look-alike.  Take a look at the photo- Ariel is the one under the desk! CNN came in to the office to shoot a feature on Wilhelmina Kids & Teens, and our young star – Ariel.  It was soooo much fun.  We’ll stream the CNN video for you as soon as we can get a copy. 

Oh yeah that was just my hectic morning –later that afternoon I ran downtown to the school of one of my models to assist his mother in speaking to the principal and teacher about how we can best balance his school and modeling career.  All in a day’s work – love it.

Happy New Year and a Big Welcome to the jam Website!!

 

jam (justaskmarlene) is my way of helping girls make their paths to adulthood a lot more fun and little less stressful. During the past ten years I have kept a journal of great beauty tricks and fashion tips from the industry’s top photographers, editors, designers, trend setters, stylists and hair and makeup artists. For some time I have wanted to share this insider’s information with the thousands of young girls who are fascinated with fashion and beauty, some of whom may even aspire to be models themselves. But remember it’s really about being the best you can be!
 
I am sitting in my office at Wilhelmina Kids & Teens and despite what is going on in this crazy world it seems like the New Year is off to a great start. Today, the day I want to sneak out early, everyone wants to book our fabulous models for their upcoming shoots. American Eagle, Limited Too, GAP, and Target – everyone’s calling to book last minute so there’s a lot of scrambling to do.
 
Now on to my exciting news about next Thursday, a very special day for me… I AM GETTING MARRIED!  Yes – to my prince charming.   You should see my To Do List, it’s off the charts!! DJ, dress maker, hair and makeup, family visit, shoes, bridesmaids gifts, photographer, and oops… got to dash off to have the final fitting for my wedding dress.  (Yes – can’t wait to post a picture.)
