MEET THE FINALISTS OF "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE"

Well season 7 is upon us, Hallelu! Another season where we get to see these beautiful kids do their thing on stage. I already have favorites as i had in past seasons but i won't jinx them so i will remain quiet for now.

As i said in my past blog article on Jonathan Waud; I want to keep it fun and talk about topics that affect us all, good, bad or indifferent. I would like to see your comments, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Other than Franovik's blog which will be more fashion driven, the magazine's blog should be fun and lively.

With that said, lets go back to "So you think you can dance", I saw most of the auditions, loved them, many bombed, hence only 11 but i enjoyed all the different styles, movements and the bodies on these dancers....

I don't know about you, I missed Mary and her screaming, it's not the same. And correct me if I'm wrong but Tyce Diorio is hotter (VC-very cute)... I am looking forward to seeing all the choreography's, I still remember season 5 when they all came out in black looked like leather or vinyl, eye patches, that kind of thing was hot.....Kept me on my feet!

I still miss my Jacob and Victor of season 6, had to mention them in this blog, "Cause I don't want ya ta forget them".  I know the new dancers will be just as memorable. 

Oh, before I forget, CAT DEELEY, I WANT TO DRESS YOU! Call me :-)


Break a leg people...Make me proud as the show always does!

DO YOU REMEMBER "JONATHAN WAUD" Make Me A Super Model, season 2

I want to get away a bit from all of my stuff and write about fun and more indepth issues too. Let's go with the fun stuff first; we can talk about BP later....Anyway, Do you remember Mr. Beautiful, Jonathan Waud;  First runner up at  Make Me A Super Model, season 2?

Well I do, although Branden won, the true winner was Jonathan. Has anyone seen pics or ads on Branden? I haven't, yet I continue to see ad campaigns on Jonathon. Are you loving this pic?

I was very upset, (and that's not the words or phrase I want to use) when he did not win. But just as other reality shows, the winner is not the winner, (if that makes any sense). In my opinion, they give the prize to the one which will make less of a difference or impact; so they go down in history as the winner but at the end of the day, "money talks", you guys know the rest of that ........

So what's up with season three (3) of Make Me A Super Model? I haven't seen any movement on Bravo's behalf. I need my model FIX! I still watch Tyra, Project Runway's-Models of the Runway and even Rupaul's Drag Race (Love you Ru) but I need "Make Me A Super Model"......

Going back to Mr. Beautiful.  For those that are looking for him; google him, there are tons of other pics that I did not put on here, nothing bad, his nudes are artistically done.  I understand he has two (2) modeling agencies that represent him; NOUS Model Management and Front Management here in Miami.

I see a bright star for Jonathan, he's got what it takes!  Jonathan, if you read this, I am a ECO Fashion Designer that would love to work with you someday....Call me :-)

MEET THE MAN BEHIND IT ALL-VIKTOR FRANOVIK

Founder, CEO and Designer Victor M. Vega or as we know him "Viktor Franovik" is the man behind Franovik Designs, Models&Designers magazine, Franovik's partnership with Motives Cosmetics and the newly formed Fashion Designers Association Florida website, under construction.

Victor, born in Brooklyn,  New York was always interested in the arts. Thought at one point that he wanted to become an architect;  so he applied at Brooklyn Tech and Alexander Hamilton, both schools known for architecture. He got into Alexander Hamilton but later realized architecture was not for him. 

His parents both born in Puerto Rico wanted to move back to the Island, so in 1979 they all packed up and left to the island paradise. 

Puerto Rico is a beautiful place and living there was cool but not forever. After graduation, Victor went into communications at the University of Puerto Rico. Communications offered an array of subjects including commerical art. 

As part of the curriculum Victor had to design commercial artwork for a major corporation. The artwork ranged from business cards to picture boards, it was okay but something was missing. 

Victor's major was marketing and public relations. Fashion and styling was a hobby, something his sister and other family members enjoyed. So they designed for his number one client, Barbie, the true fashion model, including hair and make up.

Looking towards his future, he decides to move from Puerto Rico to Miami, where he lives now. As the CEO of these companies, Victor manages all aspects of the companies from marketing to websites. 

When it comes to the artistic side of the companies, "Viktor" becomes the stylist that oversees all the models, hair and make up (MOTIVES), photographers, fashion shows, music, editorial photo shoots, bookings, and magazine content.

With the newly formed Fashion Designers Association Florida, Viktor would like to get in touch with local designers to discuss what this new association should be and stand for. What we can achieve as a group within Florida, especially in South Florida.
