Welcome to my blog. I am Lerato; I joined a modeling agency and loved every moment of it but instead of going through and pursuing my career in modeling, I thought it would be a great idea to start a modeling agency. I realised that I'd rather help others reach their dreams than just to have a modeling career to please myself..I've dedicated my life to Aspiring Models and Model training. This Is Me and What I do; you can read all about Models|Fashiom|Entertainment|Events on my blog

One-on-one with Larry Nqaba Mncube-Nhlane
Larry better yet know as Larryngitis the 21 year old Vuzu TV’s “Running with the Reps” reality TV star ; Co-founder of the Repertoires dance group, young, energetic, creative, outgoing and self-driven, goal-orientated, aspiring television presenter, dancer, MCee, Mood manager; Pati Animal Columnist, and entertainment writer for Kasi Times. He is a radio presenter at the popular Rhythm 100 internet radio station. He is working on his own dance theatre production and has started a clothing label.
I had a one-on-one with Larry to find out more about his unique fashion style:
- Larry’s interest in fashion grew from… I’ve always liked dressing up especially because I’ve always been taught image is everything... So fashion is on of those things I’ve always grown up loving.
- What inspires you when you wake up in the morning…My hunger for success and the way I’m so eager to change everything I touch and make an impact.
- When did you know you wanted to get into fashion? Wow… Hmmm it’s so tough to answer that because I think subconsciously everyone would like to make their own clothes or I think people would dig their own stuff; that’s just me but as soon as I noticed there was a huge gap last year I spoke to Makhosini and we knew it’s something we had to do.
- Who are your favourite designers and why? In South Africa we respect everyone as we are the new guns but we are aiming for a crazy mix of Europe flavor and a touch of Africa; and with that said we totally dig David Tlale’s stuff and all Tom Ford’s designs. Tom Ford’s designs are magical.
- Who are your fashion icons and why? I would like to think of myself as a fairly fashionable guy hahaha not to sound arrogant but I always need to top the latest outfits but moving away from myself I totally dig David Beckham he really always goes all out and reality show star Scott from The Kardashians is also well dressed.
- What is the story behind GLS? GLS… honestly we had our spelling totally wrong because it was meant to be French. I won’t tell you what the name was going to be but it was going to end up JNSQ lol imagine, but no on the real Makhosini and I love getting dressed and we wanted to introduce some new age local suits which people could relate to and we could also look young and trendy so I got my little brother to start sketching for us and the rest is history.
- What is you style sense?Well so far we totally focused on men new age fashion which incorporates a lot of retro and feminine colours with manly feels to the best of both worlds. But we plan to expand soon.
- What is your fashion motto…Fashion is what you make it, if you don’t feel comfy in it… don’t wear it.

How To Apply Mascara
- Hold the mascara wand in a vertical position while applying.
- Wiggle the brush right into the roots of the lashes for a lush look and increase volume.
- Always sweep the lashes outwards; not straight out ans concentrate on the outer corners.
- Leaving the low lashes bare can create a lovely fresh wide-eyed look.

3 Suggestions for Getting The Most Out of Your Pictures
Suggestion #1 - Head Shot Tips
Head shots are usually one of the first and most basic pictures that a model must have in her portfolio. While you might think this should be a stiff formal picture, just the opposite is true. It should be a relaxed and comfortable shot that features you in middle colors, nothing to drab but nothing flashy either. When you go in for your head shot photo session, wear very little jewelry as you do not want to detract from the beauty of your facial features.
Suggestion #2 - Learning How to Pose for Model Photos
Look through magazines to find poses you think would work for you, then practice them in the mirror. Have a friend take modeling pictures of you in the various poses so that you can see how they look (not to be used in your portfolio) and make adjustments to your poses.
Suggestion #3 - Look the Part of a Modeling Professional in Your Pictures
Great posture is a must in modeling and not something that comes natural to anyone, no matter how beautiful the woman or girl is. So, make sure those shoulders are up and the back is straight.
When you're taking a picture in a sitting pose, make sure that you have your weight shifted to one leg to give the look the right angles. Another tip is to suck in your stomach, no matter how thin you already are. Don't hold your breath while the shot is being taken as it's sure to show in the pictures.
