Caylin Fusero

Jenna Ode I am 18 years old from Southeast Michigan and just graduated from high school. Before I was introduced to the modeling industry my passion was dance. I have danced for 15 years and I have experience in Hip Hop, Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Contemporary, and Musical Theatre. I have performed on stage for hundreds of people during dance competitions, performing at the Detroit Lions halftime show and four years in a row with the Moscow Russian Ballet Nutcracker at the Fox Theatre. Model: Jenna Ode Photographer: Scottie Margo

I began as a model in a convention that I attended in Chicago called Launch Showcase, which was introduced to me by Lynn Geiner (Director of Agent Relations & Scout) in 2015. This convention is a three-day weekend in which participants are given tools to succeed in the fashion and entertainment industries. The convention also introduced top leading scouts and agents whom you then received one on one time with. After that, I received six call backs to talk to agents that were interested in me.

This led me to New York where I met with agencies for interviews. I then decided that I wanted to pursue modeling so I signed with BMG Models out of Chicago, which is now my mother agency. Without the help from Launch Showcase, I would not be living my dream as a model. I have only been in the modeling industry for two and half years and I have already met so many talented designers, photographers, stylists and hair/makeup artists that soon became my friends.

In the 2 Â˝ years since I have been modeling, I realized that my dance instructors had given me the ability to move more fluidly on the runway and in front of the camera. I take my modeling career very serious and have worked very hard at everything I have accomplish so far. I have been in several published magazines and covers such as Dedicated, Gothic Girl Art and Haute Is. I have had Editorials for WakeUp-Detroit, Dedicated and Haute Is magazines as well. I have also, been in several Runway shows, modeled for several local designers, modeled for TV Store Online and David Ford Eyewear out of Ohio. I still love dancing and I will always dance, but modeling is the career that I want to pursue. I am very lucky that I have a family that supports me 100% which allows me to pursue my dreams. I owe everything to my Mom. She has been my biggest supporter. To end, my goal is to travel around the world as a fashion model and to be on the cover of Vogue, Teen Vogue, Bazaar, Elle and many others.

Outstanding Personal Documentary

Aaron Noble is a 35 year old, love mitten, (Michigan) Actor and Model. Born in Kalamazoo, a pastors son of retired, Dennis and Dianne Noble, middle of three sons, and two adopted brothers and one sister. A graduate from Spring Arbor University, receiving his undergrad in Youth Ministry and Psychology. Interning at a nonprofit hip-hop boot camp for inner city youth in Knoxville TN. Upon the common theme of two years in each location, Aaron returned to his stomping grounds, Michigan in 2007, where his story all began. Even from a young age, I was aware that I was different from other people. As an extremely intuitive kid, I was always hyper sensitive to otherâ€™s feelings, and how they made me feel. Inheriting traits of poverty from my parentsâ€™ history of abuse and neglect, I became confused and angry. Not at them for any reason, but for why the world was what it was, and why I couldn't just fix it. ( Poverty, mental and lack of resources).

My dad received quite the opposite of love and my mom the oldest of ten kids, the same. Working through their baggage, I have still to this day never seen two human beings support and love me and my brothers more than my parents. Keeping in mind my dad never heard, I love you, yet ironically reminded us daily, and showed us. He and my mom never missed a game, choir concert, musical, even when finances were dry we never missed a meal somehow, even if it was mac 'n cheese, again, (with hotdogs). As an intuitive person, I figured out by way of female attention, that people saw me as physically attractive. However, what I looked at daily in the mirror, I just could not and still cannot grasp the concept of their perception. Because, in reality perception is all it is. What I look at is a goofy, empathetic, person who would rather be remembered as someone who loved and inspired you to look up and be more than this world says it offers.

I was very good at many things, but had no idea what I really wanted to do with my life. Even after college, nothing, not even youth ministry seemed to fit the puzzle. I often heard, "Aaron, you should be a model.” Of course I eventually gave in and took some pictures with friends, but, even as much as my heart came to life in those simple moments, I was told by the American Dream that it's a nice fantasy, but it's not reality.” You need a real job, a consistent 9-5, so you can marry on time, have kids, oh and get a dog too.” Excuse me while I clean up my own vomit.

my platform to make a difference.

Through high school and college, I have always been an athlete, watching my all state brother set the standards in discipline. Though I can hold my own and loved sports, I was always interested in expressing myself competitively, but in a different way. I was attracted to music, art, and the culture. In fact, I would say one of the most defining moments of my interest in the industry was in middle school when I chose to do a report on the Mass Media. From that moment on, a fire was kindled and has continued to grow into a passion to not just become some famous actor or model, but to most importantly use

In 2010, after my two years working at an inner city nonprofit, in Indianapolis IN, my plans to move to Manhattan New York were again yielded by a year, of broken vehicle, living with my parents, and no job.

There has always been a silk lining, that continues to weave in and out of my life hinting toward the industry. However, it seemed that any and every time I attempted to move in that direction, whether it be, modeling, acting, hip-hop, dance, singing, spoken word, even YouTube bible teaching videos. I was always buffered, which obviously, kept me well fed with confusion and frustration. Wandering, wondering who I was meant to be in this world. Looking at it now, I can call that "buffering" training.

This fortunately, opened the opportunity to work on the Lions gate film, "The House of the Rising Son", as an a bartender with former Pro wrestler, David Batista, and Amy Smart. This then, lead to an incredible, but separate journey in my story to China for two years in 2011, as an English teacher.

Returning to the States in 2013, I lived for a year with my parents, two adopted black brothers and adopted sister, along with two cats and big dog in a 200 square foot cottage. My parents were also in transition back from South Carolina where their lives were threatened by the KKK, due to my brothers being black. I vividly remember God asking me to be patient, get a job, pay my bills and that "He would get me to the next step.â€? I met a girl on the campground where I was living. Well, we had known of each other our entire lives, and always had crushes on each other, but never acted on it. Moreover, I moved to Grand Rapids to be near her and her twin boys. After about two years together, it unfortunately didn't work out. This sent me into a deep depression and rebellion against God who I thought loved me and wanted the best for me. However, over time, I realized, he was using this already open wound to do surgery on many unaddressed and buried deepseated issues of my past. Point being, though he doesn't force it, the wholistic surgery was done. From that point, there has been no "buffering "and nothing but open doors of opportunity, including this great Magazine.

It is by the silk lining of grace I am here, and by it I will continue to be. My future acting goals are to do lead roles for the Hallmark channel, (for my momma), action film, historical, comedy, romance, thrillers, TV investigative shows, Christian based film, just to name a few. Future modeling goals: Versace, Gap, Levi, Banana Republic, CK, Armani, Boss, Tommy, Express, just to name a few. Who I would like to work with: The Rock, Mark Walberg, Chris Pratt, Matt Damon, Leo DiCaprio, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey. -----Celeb Crush: Lauren Daigle Favorite color: green Hobbies: fitness, hiking, shooting guns, writing, reading, people watching. Current location: Brighton Mi. Next move: Atlanta Georgia.

Letter from Editorial Director, Editor-in-Chief

As this issue comes to completion, a sense of relief fills my mind ! That is until the flood of waiting pictures and wonderful stories replaces relief with passionate care for all these talented people we work with. It’s more than a magazine, its competition with oneself. Did I use the right font and size, how can I make this pop and will I get to bed tonight before 3am. But coffee and a short chat with someone who says, “what are you doing still up” keeps me motivated. And then, there is our team! Oh, you thought I worked alone? Silly! Our team of busy guys and gals seem to pull time for us out of a hat, so thank you all! Some of our members have been with us from the beginning, our board of hardy listeners direct and comfort in times of utter confusion or worry. A short meet up and it’s all fixed! We are expanding every day and as we collect minds, we share with those who are there for us. No, we can’t offer instant success, that’s up to you to mold the clay we have. And then of course share with others and bring new things to our table to share more again and again. It pains me to see those who have situations that are out of control, but it all works out with even more knowledge. Kind of like an overflowing pantry feeding the world. So, thank you again everyone for the beautiful inspiration to share Red Silk Carpet with you all!

Ed & Maggie Morales Retired from the corporate world back in 2001 where I worked in non-art fields. I'm a self taught artist and I have been painting for about 65 years. Available for commissions when appropriate. Generally paint with acrylics and oil while using mat board as a painting surface. Fortunate to have some of my paintings in foundations and a few museums. In my early work history I was the Store Superintendent of Bullocks Wilshire, Los Angeles. This store was build in 1929 and was the totally Art Deco in style. That is where I gained my love and understanding for Art Deco genre. The Art Deco theme runs strong in my work.

M The Art Deco girl with two Great Danes. This originally was a

brass

plaque I

discovered in a Pawn Shop in Woodstock, Illinois back in the late 80's. I bought it for $50.00. In 2006 I painted this image in a rainbow style, and took some liberties with a few Art Deco additions. Earlier this year I sold the original plaque on eBay. This is the image of the original plaque. I still have the original painting but have sold prints of it many times.

OPERATION FINALE In Theaters Wednesday, August 29th Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures' razor-sharp thriller, Operation Finale, brings to life one of the most daring covert operations in modern history. Starring Academy Award winner Sir Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, Schindler's List) and Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Ex Machina), the film vividly captures the ingenious and brilliantly executed mission to capture Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust. Fifteen years after the end of World War II, acting on irrefutable evidence, a top-secret team of Israeli agents travel to Argentina where Eichmann (Kingsley) has been in hiding together with his family under an alias Ricardo Klement and execute an extremely dangerous abduction. In attempting to sneak him out of Argentina to stand trial in Israel while being pursued by the country's right-wing forces, agent Peter Malkin (Isaac) is forced to engage Eichmann in an intense and gripping game of cat-and-mouse with lifeand-death stakes.
