Jazzy Ellis![]() I was born and raised in New Jersey, and had hopes of becoming a scientist or a physician. I worked hard, always doing my best on schoolwork, and getting the best grades that I could. It paid off when I got accepted into Princeton University. I graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Religion, Spanish, and Pre-Med, but I decided medicine was not where my heart was. I wanted to entertain. I turned down Duke Medical School and moved to New Orleans to model. I have been doing so ever since. I model whenever I can for local designers, national print ads, and in fashion shows. I am working towards creating a life that I find to be exciting everyday. I am working towards the moment when the phrase "whenever I can" becomes "all the time" or "as a career." Some people I know are following their dream. Others aren't. I'm still dreaming so that when I do follow it, I don't regret it.

Rachel Monteleone
![]() My name is Rachel Monteleone and I am an aspiring dancer with a newly sparked passion for modeling. I was born and raised in New Orleans into a family full of dancers. I trained intensively in ballet for 15 years before I found my love for other styles such as musical theatre, jazz, tap, contemporary and hip-hop. I went to Oklahoma City University and majored in Dance Performance for two and a half years, and I am receiving my degree in Writing and Performing Arts from LSU this semester! Since back in Louisiana, I have performed in multiple musicals with Tulane Summer Lyric, I just finished my second year performing on the court as a New Orleans Hornets Honeybee, and I even got the opportunity to perform in the Superbowl halftime show with Beyonce (an absolute dream come true!) As a Honeybee, I grew very comfortable in front of the camera, whether it was posing for photo shoots, dancing for video shoots, or performing on the court. I recently modeled for the 2012 Raw Artist Awards Finals for New Orleans Best Make-Up Artist award winner, Amanda Hampton BravEnder.
I've always loved taking risks with fashion, hair-styles (and colors) and make-up, and I've pretty much always had a ridiculous obsession with shoes :) Contact: rkmonteleone@gmail.com Lauren Love![]() At the young age of seven. Lauren became intrigued with the fashion world.
Her biggest inspiration as a child was, John Bennett Ramsey. Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana on August 2,1992. Her goals are to become a supermodel / actress. |

![]() Hey everyone! My name is Brianna Nowlin and I am a 24 year old dancer turned model. I am a creative, passionate, and energetic woman who loves to laugh! Originally from Dallas, TX, I moved to New Orleans 6 years ago to pursue two degrees in Psychology and Dance from Tulane University and absolutely fell in love with the rich culture, festivities, and food of this amazing and unique city! I have also been blessed to represent the city and the New Orleans Hornets as an Honeybee dancer, and just finished my fourth season on the team. Additionally, I lived every dancer's dream when I performed onstage with Beyonce during the Super Bowl! (It. Was. Incredible.) While I have danced everything from ballet to hip hop for 15 years now, I have recently become infatuated with modeling. I love everything about being in front of the camera, wearing the latest fashion, hair & makeup trends, and strutting down the runway... and I'm looking forward to building a bright and successful modeling career in my future. Being on stage, on court, or on a runway is like a second home to me. I aim to draw the eye, give it all that I have, and most importantly, to live. <3
