Tanisha Harper - World Class Appeal

We saw Tanisha Harper in some shots from an earlier post and we had to meet up with her for some coffee. This girl has done it all! Looking confidant and gorgeous, the Tokyo born belle walked in having just come from a casting for a runway show. This had been Tanisha's calling since being scouted out at 15. The biggest names she's  walked for are Oscar De la Renta and Ralph Lauren which doesn't hurt when being selected for Project Runway and the companion show Models of the Runway. She's also graced every other medium including billboards, campaigns, and movies too. InStyle, Vanity Fair, Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, Jaffra, MAC, L'Oreal, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Tyra Banks Show, and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Read this quote about her we found online:

"[Tanisha's] career began to take off after a shoot with famed photographer, Patrick Demarchelier for the Cosmopolitan Cover model search that brought about national media attention for Tanisha, and was heavily profiled by newspapers and news stations through out the country, including, Entertainment Tonight and an interview with Katie Couric on Today for NBC."

Tanisha has a Bachelors in Media Arts which is so important when branching out from just Photo Stills. It may be hard to book her, but you can find the bombshell with Steve at FORD LA for print and with L.A. Models for runway. 

ADVICE FOR ASPIRING MODELS:

"Always stay true to yourself and be professional. Don't worry about what other models are doing. Just stay focused on yourself and the goals you wish to achieve within your modeling career. You must have a thick skin for this industry and love yourself for who you are naturally. If you don't feel comfortable doing something. Don't do it. Never let anyone pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. Stay focused!"

The Sassy Ways of SUWANA

If you are ever so lucky to meet this stunning model, be prepared for your cheeks to hurt. Suwana Perry is a firecracker with tons to say. But it's not fluff, she tells it how it is. Like when sleazy guys try to convince her that she needs to trust them and that they are good for her. Sorry sleaze balls, Suwana knows what she's doing, she's got this. But don't get it wrong, her heart is compassionate and true. Suwana's sweet sweet nature and sultry looks makes her a super strong model bringing freshness to every photo shoot. Just ask Tommy Hilfiger, SOMW Family Member Custo Barcelona, Essence, Honda, Colures Magazine, Glamour, Target, and the covers of 944 Magazine and Elle Girl! 

Suwana actually wanted to mention LA based designers Michael Costello, Johnny Sakalis (Project Runway S.6), Nick Verreos with Nikolaki (Project Runway S.7), and Ghia Fam. Suwana  says,

"They have been very amazing and great people to know throughout my career. What I love about them is as their careers have grown they are very loyal to the people that have been with them since the beginning of their careers. Their success makes my heart happy. Honestly, when I see anyone I know succeed it makes me so excited and happy because I know their struggles." 

That's how we feel and we want you to keep succeeding all over the place.
