UPCOMING IMAGE GALLERIES
February 13, 2023
Looks like Mim's intergalactic pet has done it again. The little critter apparently got into our retro wardrobe sets & managed to mix up apparel from the 60s and the 70s. For the most part, it wasn't much of an issue, but we had quite a time distinguishing between mini mod skirts from the sixties and the early seventies. (…unfortunately, Vanessa and Valentina had been on vacation during this inconvenient snafu.) But not to worry. We discovered Mim's pet has a dreadful & unexplained terror of plastic bags, so now we can just encase whatever files and apparel we don't want disturbed in this life-saving technology!
Although we had planned to wait for one big reveal for our latest image galleries, we figured it'd be best if we just showcased the images as we completed them, even if it is somewhat piecemeal. That way, we can stay ahead of Mim's pet before it happens to strike again! So stay tuned for the upcoming image galleries!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR
February 12, 2021
With Valentine's Day coming up, I figured I'd share some related backstage news. You guessed it - Frank & Cassandra are engaged to be married! Apparently, they've been dating since 2019, eversince Frank caught a glimpse of this elegant beauty in our "Biker Shorts" image session. (…and yes, employees here are allowed to date one another, as long as they're not canoodling during work hours & as long as it doesn't interfere with their projects. For more specifics, you'd best consult with Susan.) Well, over the summer he mustered up enough courage to propose to her while we were on set for our latest image gallery. And I've never seen Frank so nervous! Even so, I had no idea he was so poetic. (Maybe I should be taking notes from now on…)
It's interesting watching the changes in the happy couple since they started seeing each other. Cassandra started dyeing her hair back to its original dark color, and walked with an even greater spring in her step. And you know, I've never seen Frank smile so much as when he's with her. These two stellar people both truly deserve the best, and all of us here at MWN are overjoyed for them. No word on a wedding date yet, but I'm sure they'll keep us posted!
ONCE IN A RARE BLUE MOON…
October 31, 2020
You may have already noticed that production has been placed on hold, but this pause is only temporary. See, Silvia invited us to celebrate this month's blue moon together with some of her friends, and when a forest sprite invites you to a get-together, you don't turn it down.
To be clear, they're not into any kind of rituals for the multi-day event; it's just a good time filled with games, laughs, and a lot of food. (And I think they also enjoy staying out late while basking in the full moon's light, as opposed to artificial lights. Maybe it's an eco & energy conservation thing.) While I've never been to one of these gatherings before, it's clear these fairies know how to party! Now I'm just wondering how long this shindig is supposed to last…
MEETING OF THE BEAUTIFUL MINDS
August 21, 2020
It's hard to believe we're already more than halfway through August 2020, but even so I thought now might be a good time to post an old sketch depicting one of last season's brainstorming sessions. Here our fashion and brand specialists had come together to discuss the details of the looks & options for the Spring Summer 2019 image sessions. And fortunately we had been able to catch up with Vanessa before she headed out to a gala event later that evening, or else it would have been one short meeting!
Pictured from left to right:

🔸 Larissa wearing the Cotton Stretch Poplin Shirt by Escada Sport + Rock Aus Veloursleder from Orsay.
🔸 Beth wearing the Freesia Slinky Jersey Mini Wrap Dress by Diane Von Furstenberg.
SHE CAME IN WITH THE TIDE

(I know it's the new year already, but I haven't had a chance to finish this late post from last year until now:)
If you've worked in HR before, you can identify with the fact that it's one department where all kinds of, uh,…individuals walk through the door. As talented as our head of HR is, there are times when Susan just isn't quite sure where to place a potential candidate or even if an applicant would be a fit here at ModelsWearingNylons. Such was the case when Cordelia applied to work here earlier in 2019. Not to mention the fact that she would have a bit of a problem with the office dress code (from which she could be exempted of course), it would be kind of difficult installing a saltwater tank in the office at this point in time.
But not to fear! Intelligent Susan discovered during the interview process that Cordelia has a knack for singing, and as such, a great ear for music. So we hired this lovely jewel of the sea to be the DJ for our office parties and get-togethers here at MWN! There's a lot going on in the world right now, so I won't be posting pics of our latest holiday festivities, but stay tuned for more updates!

Last season, Larissa provided a breakdown of the Spring & Summer 2019 styles - and Bree's fabulous idea - during a quick meeting. Have a listen:

LA ENTREVISTA
September 5, 2019
Sitting in with Susan during an interview…☏
…Thank you Susan.
It's nice to finally speak with you, Marissa… I see that on your application you voluntarily described yourself as bilingual in the "Other Qualifications" section.
Yes I did. Hablo español y ingles!
Excelente! Siempre es bueno saber otro idioma. Ahora, tu estás aplicando para la posición de directora de redes sociales, correcto?
Exacto. Tengo 5 anos trabajando en esa área y pienso que puedo usar mi experiencia para el bien de esta empresa!
Veo que tu curriculum y tus calificaciones son bien impresionantes. Bueno, déjame explicarte nuestra situación. Sí tenemos redes sociales, pero últimamente estamos invirtiendo menos tiempo para mantenerlos por que nuestro alcance está más y más limitado.
Sí, es la neta. La realidad es que varias organizaciones están abandonando las redes sociales populares y están usando otros recursos más tradicionales como direct mail para alcanzar sus audiencias.
Se nota que tu conocimiento de esta área y de las últimos tendencias está bien al día! Pero mira, no voy a pedir que nos des soluciones gratis a nuestra dilema ya que todavía no estás contratada para trabajar con nosotros. Susan te va hacer algunas otras preguntas sobre situaciones hipotéticas, diferentes a nuestra situación, y de acuerdo a eso, vamos a decidir tu futuro con MWN.
Órale! Espero que pueda ayudar y gracias otra vez por la oportunidad!
Ha sido un placer! Gracias por entrevistar con ModelsWearingNylons.
