Miss December – Britnee Leigh

Manrique Photos — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 08:05:12 +0000

The name’s Britnee Leigh. I am from a small town in Florida but recently moved to Los Angeles. I am a full time model and makeup artist. Music has always been my muse for modeling.

This love for combining modeling and music started at a young age. All my blasting Billy Idol while pretending to walk down my make believe runways paid off! I was approached by an agency at age 12 and did many gigs including live mannequin modeling, which taught me discipline and posing.

From my first publication in Bizarre magazine, where I wore my classic Danzigt-shirt in a bathtub full of skulls to my most recent shoot for Coffin Case and Fernandes Guitars, I model in such genres as alternative, pin-up, and editorial. I have appeared in dozens of magazines, with many more in the near future, not to mention my latest appearance in a John 5 video.

When I’m not rolling around in latex (or other various outfits) in front of the camera, I’m at a concert/show or getting professional (and private) lessons on Pro Tools from my boyfriend.

Miss November – Khandi Luxx

Manrique Photos — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 08:06:22 +0000

My name is Khandi and I’m an alternative model based in the SoCal area. Ever since I could remember growing up, modeling was always something I knew I wanted to do. Even though I was occasionally put down by family members and friends about making a wiser career, I NEVER stopped dreaming. Having the little support of my twin sister, who would always be the one behind the camera to take my photos and also coach me, kept my dreams alive. In my high school days is when I pursued it. Looking around for agencies is tough when there only looking for something specific. I always got I’m not tall or even thin enough. My self-esteem got the best of me and I slowly gave it up. This past year, I in rolled myself into college, began working, & living on my own. At the age of 22 is when I decided to give it another try. I started networking online and FINALLY got my big break. I thank all of my lucky stars that I’ve been able to meet and work with so many awesome artists! I know this is where I belong; I’ve been featured for the first time ever in magazines, an art walk gallery, a calendar, & now a fashion show. It’s like they say “dreams really do come true to those who never stop dreaming”, I’m living proof! I’m proud of myself for all of my success in such very little time. & I promise you haven’t seen the last of me! To check out more please visit my official sites! XOXO

Miss September – Chelsea Christian

Manrique Photos — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 07:04:28 +0000

My name is Chelsea Christian. I’m a model from Atlanta, but I’m currently based in Gainesville, Fl (although I try to travel as much as possible when I’m not in school). I’ve been featured in several gallery shows, interviews, and books. Modeling is one of my passions, and I’ve really enjoyed being able to work with the amazing people that I’ve worked with since I started to seriously pursue it in mid-2010.

My other passion, aside from modeling, is music. I’ve been a percussionist for almost 11 years now, and enjoy playing all types of genres. I’ve played in garage bands, marching bands, drum lines, orchestras, small bands for musicals, wind symphonies, and all sizes of small and large ensembles. I’ve even had the opportunity to travel to New York City to play in Carnegie Hall with a wind symphony.

I have also played bass guitar, piano, and I can sing.

In addition to modeling and playing music, I also do a bit of pretty much anything else that’s creative. I was a costume designer for 5 years. I did graphic design and handled publicity for some local orchestras, bands, and theater groups. I’ve made my own jewelry and accessories for every day wear and for photo shoots. I even make soap on occasion. I can do almost anything creative if I decide I want to do it.

When I’m not doing any of those, and not doing homework, I like to hang out with my kitty and my boyfriend watching tv and movies, and playing Sudoku. I love being on the go and doing a bunch of stuff, but it’s really made me realize how thankful I am for the days that are few and far between where I can just chill at home with my family and relax.

Miss August – Carissa White

Manrique Photos — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 07:07:08 +0000

My Name is Carissa White, Miss White to you.

I was raised in a small town in Florida that sucks up your soul.

I migrated to a bigger town in FL where I started working with www.MLMLME.com at age 19.

Then I started modeling more, started dancing, and eventually got involved with the fetish community. Started modeling & go go dancing at events and parties. Actually did a bit of performing (fetish stage shows) throughout FL, GA and Vegas.

Currently trying to expand away from just fetish modeling and into bigger things of which I have already begun.

I’ve recently just moved to California to start taking my modeling more seriously.

I live Day to Day, and by passion. I used to be the little model chick with scratches and bruises up her legs, used to be super aggressive, very unconfined. Slightly I’m an exhibitionist, and I have no Shame. I am very sweet, but I’m very head strong and very ambitious these days.

Anyhow, I love all sorts of genres of music, yet I’m still kind of picky of what I listen to. I like nu metal, metal, pop, electro, hip hop, My favorite bands are Deftones, Korn, Collide, Kidneythieves, American Head Charge. Currently I am actually learning to play the guitar, so wish me good luck, I may even get back into MMA

Miss July – Heather Marie

Manrique Photos — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 07:04:03 +0000

My name is Heather Marie and I am a single mom. I enjoy nothing more than being with my son and raising him to the best of my abilities. I was born and raised in Southern California and that is where I currently reside. I have been modeling now for a few years but have taken off a couple years so I can put a 100% of my time toward raising my son. I have now figured out how to juggle my time so I am able to raise him and chase after my dreams.

I have appeared in “Posh UnderGround Inc”, “Pain Magazine” and “Ol Skool Rodz”. I want to expand my horizons as a model and venture out into different avenues and styles. I am always up for a new challenge.

There are few things in life that I dislike but, the main one would be how people treat each other and how negative they can be. I like MANY things and it would take all day for me to list them however here are a few; I enjoy sports, the outdoors, learning, eating, spending time with my son, family, and friends and experiencing new things. I enjoy going to church, because if it wasn’t for God, I wouldn’t be where I am at today. I love to laugh and help others to have a good time. The quote, “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure, I make mistakes, I am outta control, and at times, a little hard to handle, but if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as HELL do not deserve me at my best. ~Marilyn Monroe” describes me the best.

Hopefully you will see me in the future achieving my goal as a model. Much love.
