Hey ladies!! Amanda Lopez , MISS member and former Mama intern, is a photographer extraordinaire that is down in LA working with THE Estevan Oriol and she let me in on a new project . . . .
Upper Playground is putting together a show with Estevan Oriol and Yasumasa Yonehara. Yonehara is well known for his seductive images of Japanese models and Oriol is known for his shots of lovely Latinas. The concept behind the project is that the photographers will switch their subject matter. So, Estevan is searching for Japanese girls in SF to photograph the first week of April and Yone is looking for Latinas…
This is your chance to be a supa-model and be shot by some of the most talented photographers out there right now! If you fit the bill and are interested please send a picture and your contact info to yone_estevan@yahoo.com. Models must be 18+ and able to shoot the first week of April. The show is on the 5th of April. Best of Luck!!

Work by Yasumasa Yonehara:
The issue of model’s weight and body image have long plagued the fashion industry, though nothing has really been done about it. A few months back during the Spring ‘07 Shows, Spain’s top fashion show led the way in saying "enough is enough" by rejecting certain models as being "too skinny." It seems this was a spark for a new trend. Now, "Italy is looking for international consensus on its plan to issue licenses to fashion models who meet an age and health standard." I think it’s great that the fashion industry is recognizing the impact that it can have on womens’ body images and I look forward to the day when models look more like women and less like skeletons.
