stood out to me so I decided to an interview with him
for the blog
and this is what he had to say.
How long have you been modeling for?I have been modelling for a year in the fashion industry, before that I was a fitness model for a couple of years.
What is your inspiration?
If you are referring to who my inspiration or role model is within the male model industry I would say that it is David Gandy because my opinion is that this guy broke the mould for the profile of male models. He created a new male model profile globally that is more masculine, strong and elegant.
Being a male model what are the challenges that you face on everyday spectrum, Do you find that it is easy being a model or difficult?I would say that the travel I get to do with my job can be very difficult at times, I am away from my family and friends and it can be lonely as I often am travelling on my own. Also daily castings are tough as they often feel like daily exams where I get judged
That being said, honestly I am very fortunate with the job I have, I am very privileged to have visited different counties with different cultures and worked with and learnt from very interesting, talented people. These experiences over the last year have developed me as a person and made me a better model.
What is your greatest accomplishment?One of my recent accomplishments was doing runway for Miami Fashion Week, I opened the show for men. For me this was a proud moment as it was my first job in America and my first week in Miami.
do you feel that in the modeling industry male models are just for props, I have heard that a lot over the years?For sure it is very difficult to compare the female model industry with the male model industry, but I think that the male fashion industry is growing as men are paying more attention to how they dress, fashion and their look. You see this reflected in the growing number of male targeted stores, male specific products (e.g. grooming), male fashion magazines etc which you see on the market.
What are some of the projects you have worked and or currently working on?Over the last year I have worked in Europe (Spain, Italy, Turkey etc) where I worked on editorials, commercials, campaigns and runway. I moved to America this year and my goal now is to repeat similar success in my new country of residence.
What do you do to stay in shape, you are def fit and I am sure my readers would love to know this?Basically I do lot of cardio, HIIT system training, mixed with cycling and TRX.
Since Model Savings is a Blog about saving money, Do you have any stories about how you saved money?When I first arrived in Miami I needed to find accommodation quickly but it looked like it was going to be too expensive for me to find anything as I didn't have a lot of money to cover the deposits and fees I needed. I asked around at work and managed to find someone who subleased their apartment to me whilst they were away on vacation. This was the perfect solution and saved me lots of money.
Do you have any advice for male models that are just starting out?I would tell them that it is very important to learn everything you can about the industry. For example read up on the client and brand before a casting, find out about photographers and keep up to date with industry news. I would tell them that relationships are key - they need to network and build good relationships. Finally I would tell them the most important thing is to just be themselves!
Where can the readers find you on social media?Yes I am on Instagram and Twitter - Alexei Reyes.

It is a way to make some extra money and with blogging
First of all, let me quickly introduce myself. I've been working as a model for over 6 years, doing commercial, fashion, catwalk, music videos etc. and its been an exciting and challenging journey for me which I would like to share with you.
I think many people have a very glamorous view of modelling profession. It is partly true - you get invited to lots of events and parties, you meet lots of interesting and inspiration people, you get to morph yourself into various characters and experiment with your looks.
Here are some of my favourite jobs:
At the same time, modelling life can be very challenging and tiring - it can really wear you out and frustrate you. Here are some key learnings from my personal experience which helped me to overcome those difficulties.
1. Learn to deal with rejection
A full time model goes on average to 10-20 castings a week - she would get maybe 1-2 jobs out of it, sometimes even none... its normal that not everyone like your look. The key here is not to take it personally if you are not taken on a job. Sometimes its just beyond your control.
2. Be confident and humble
When you go to castings be confident and friendly. People hire you to represent their brand - they need someone with personality, so a big part of nailing a job is the way you present yourself.
Once you do get a job, stay humble and be friendly to everyone on set - make friends!
3. Learn to love your body
If you genuinely love your body and your looks - everyone else will do as well. Be proud of your appearance, after all you're a model!
4. Learn to budget
Don't spend all the money from your job straight away - you don't know when the next job is coming in...
5. Do other things on the side
I personally would have gone mad if I did just modelling and nothing else - the pressure of getting a job is just too high and can ruin you mentally. I'm very lucky to have started my own business on the side with a friend - developing a mobile app called Looks Good On Me which is due to launch in 3 weeks.
Well, these are my 5 tips for all you beautiful girls out there! Hope you enjoyed it :-)
Up and coming R&B/Pop artist Tiaundra is on the rise and ready to make her move in the music industry. Born Le’Trevia Tiaundra Antoine, Tiaundra has always known that she was destined to become a singer. At the age of six, her strong and beautiful voice began to be noticed while singing in her church’s praise team in her hometown Lafayette, Louisiana. Since then, she has received many praises and accomplishments from her talent. In 2006, Tiaundra was crowned Miss Hal Jackson Talented Teen of Louisiana where she was able to travel around the country touching young individuals lives through her powerful singing and encouraging words. Always by her side and her biggest fan, Tiaundra’s mother Debra Antoine has always inspired her to be whoever she wanted to be and to always chase after her dreams, no matter how far they seemed to be. Sadly in 2010, her mother passed away and left an empty space in the up and coming artists life. Even though it was a bit of a struggle to overcome, Tiaundra made a promise to herself and to her mother that she strive to make it to the top in her music career. Since then she has moved to Houston, TX and has begun to make her name noticed and appreciated. From interviewing on radio stations to appearing and performing shows throughout the city, Tiaundra is mastering and executing her craft, making her name become one of the hottest names in the big city. Her last recording and hit single entitled “Show Me” has brought a lot of attention throughout Texas and Louisiana. The new hit has made everyone anxious and patiently waiting for the next big thing from her. Along with gaining respect and credit within the H-Town community, many producers and celebrities have also start to take note her talent. Tiaundra was recently featured on one of Houston’s very own legends, Lil Keke’s newest album “Money Don’t Sleep” with their hot and sexy track “Come Here Daddy”, now available on ITunes and in local stores such as Best Buy, Target and Walmart. Tiaundra has just begun to make her name known around the south in hopes to be heard all over the world so stay tuned to this humble and beautifully-gifted artist who is definitely on the come up.
Where we are in a world thats based on technology, and social media.
What you see from me is an image, a look
a way of life. I portray this person that I wish to be
but in REALITY for me
what you see is not really my REALITY
at all.
Struggling with the every day issues, of finding my identity, and learning who I am as a person.
Fighting myself from whats real and fake.
How can one truly know who they are when they are consistently
being thrown in a pit of fire.
Have you ever sat back and thought, why do I put myself through this torture of being desperate to be accepted and validated by all these people whose opinions change like the wind? Why am I willing to compromise my convictions and who I truly am at any cost?
We ask ourselves on an everyday basis the types
of questions like
"Will they like me?"
" I need to do this with him so he won't leave me."
"We're they talking about me?"
"Did they think I was funny?"
"Does he think I am Beautiful?"
Why are we searching for acceptance in others when we should be
searching for acceptance in God himself?
God knows us, and loves us and fully accepts us -- the REAL US!
but this identity that we have we have to truly find out who we are ....
