Mia Amber’s Latest Campaign for Monif C.

Take a look at a few of the just released pics from my  spring 2010 Monif C. convertible dress campaign

If you’re not familiar with the Monif C. convertible dress where have you been? it’s amazing! I am wearing the same dress in every photo it’s just in different colors!  There is also a short length or a long version.  You can wrap the dress to fit your mood and you can even make sleeves!  One dress provides a wardrobe of opportunity.

Monif C. has also debuted her new 2010 swimwear and it is sizzzzling!

Plus model pal Fluvia Lacerda is stunning!

I love working with Monif and want to thank her and the team for another fabulous shoot:

Stylist Brandon “Blue” Coates, Make Up Artist Tara Taylor , jewelry by Rachel Fennima, Photog extraordinaire Krista Svalbonas and a special shout out to Monif’s sister Krissy and Ericka for assisting! (Fluvia’s hair and make up were done by Daryon Haylock who is the master behind my hair and make up on the banner for this blog!)

Visit Monif C. to see lots more of both collections!

XOXO,

To Love a Scoundrel

As a little girl who was always tangled up in my Grandmas apron strings I learned all about the “Stories” at an early age.

Every day Grandma and I caught up with the goings on of Erica Kane on “All My Children” and Luke & Laura on “General Hospital.”  There was also, “Loving,” “One Life To Live,”  “The Edge of Night” and a host of others.   I carried on the tradition of watching “my Stories” all the way through college.

Today one of the iconic figures of those days passed on.  James Mitchell who played Palmer Cortlandt on “All My Children” for over 30 years was always one of my favorites.  Palmer was a true scoundrel and he will be missed!

XOXO,

Mia

Mo’ Keeps Going!!

And so confused…
