Miami Fashion Model to Open Non-profit organization for aspiring models

by Annamarie Ricci

I have reached that point in my life where I really do not want to travel anymore at least for modeling assignments. This last fashion week was a sign onto me that I cannot handle any cold and snow anymore and I would rather not be far from my home and my family. So I am making the decision to semi-retire from modeling. It’s good news for me and it’s good news for the aspiring models of Miami and South Florida. I have been teaching modeling in private settings for quite a while now but now I want to open a modeling workshop- a school to train aspiring models.

 I think Miami Beach or Key Biscayne might be the ideal location for such an organization. I am willing to headquarter my organization as far south as the Florida Keys if that’s what it takes to find a suitable property.  Of course, this is a huge endeavor for one person so I am hoping to collaborate with local fashion designers, models, stylists, photographers, retail shops and other businesses who may want to lend their talents or even become sponsors of this unique program.  This is really our chance to do something great for the local fashion community.

We all know that modeling schools can be quite expensive but not all aspiring models come from wealthy families who can afford this training and experience. My organization will be dedicated to mentoring, empowering, training and developing young  models who if they had the necessary funding would have the potential to become successful in the fashion industry.  Fashion is all about uniqueness and diversity. And we are talking about faces and talent that would otherwise never be known.  Therefore I am proposing that my organization be a non-profit so that the underprivileged can have an equal chance to become the privileged. I should think that the Miami fashion bloggers would also want to help spread the word and offer their ideas, as bloggers were once the fashion underdogs as well. We all know that has changed through their determination and they are now past the fabled velvet ropes with the magazine editors, celebrities and fashion critics.  I think everybody with a love of fashion should have that same opportunity.  Anybody wanting to get involved with my proposed program, please contact me, Annamarie Ricci at annamariericci@ymail.com.

Back from New York Fashion Week

I have arrived back in Miami. It was a long trip. Sooo cold and any amount of snow is too much for me. When I arrived I felt the balmy tropical breezes and I am so glad to be home. Whenever I leave even if it's just for a couple of days, I Fall in love with the magic city all over again. Now it's time for me to rest. Maybe spend time at the beach and afterward I will sort through my pictures to share. Oh and for those of you following my progress with asthma, I am happy to report that I continue to make progress every day and I am mostly symptom free. I was so sick that I did not think I would survive that last attack, let alone begin to get my modeling career back on track and I am also singing now that I can hold a note again. A couple friends and I are trying to put a band together and do some gigs in Miami. I am sure that will be fun.

Michelle Obama has the right to bare arms

There is an irony in this. First lady, Michelle Obama has the right to bare arms, while her husband wants to take away the citizen's Constitutional right to bear arms. I couldn't resist pointing that out. Michelle Obama wore in my opinion, a lovely and fashionable choice. However, an inapproprate choice to Tuesday evening's formal State of The Union address. She wore an organza dress in trendy Oxblood and black from Jason Wu's pre-fall 2013 collection. She accessorized the dress with a silver cherry blossom brooch. To many people Mrs. Obama is a fashion icon as many first ladies before her have also been.

Singers with asthma ?

Hi everybody. If you have been following my posts you know that I suffer from asthma and a few weeks ago I had an attack that almost killed me. I have been singing as a form of excercise to strengthen my lungs. Were it not for the benefits I doubt I would be here right now. I am told that I do have a good voice which encourages me to keep going. Some days my asthma is so bad that I cannot hold a note for really any length of time. Are there any professional singers who have asthma and sinus problems? And if so how do you get around it?

Some PR companies UGH!

Some of the PR companies make me want to scream. They send me list of clients then one person from their office says sure we can send you assortment of samples for review. Then I get another email saying so glad you like our brands but we have no samples for you but we have images. On what website would you publish your reviews? I tell them what would it matter where because you told me no samples. How can I review products I haven't tried. You want international fashion model and magazine editor's endorsment and publicity but I cannot try your product? I am not going to lie to our readers. This is dishonest. #Sheesh

I Really Despise "Hey, You Guys"

image016[/caption] By Miami fashion model and fashion editor Annamarie Ricci There comes a time in your life when you reach an age of refinement. You’re a bit older and wiser (hopefully) and you have earned the right to be treated as such. I have always been the kind of person who only wants the best. I don’t like ugliness around me. I like to surround myself with beautiful people and beautiful things. Beautiful surroundings inspire me, which is why I love Florida. I only want to be around people who are well dressed and who have good manners and of good moral character. Dirtiness, clutter, disorganization and laziness I just cannot stand. Before this post gets too far off track (I warned you already that I digress…often!)

I went into Barnes and Noble the other day with a male friend of mine. We went over to the video and audio section. There was a male sales associate there who was probably 18- 20. He greeted us with “ How are you guys today?” “Guys?” Oh no he DI’-INT! *Snaps fingers in a Z formation* Yes he did and then it hit me and I hit back. I turned around and I said, “do I look like a guy to you?” This guy, mouth hanging open just looked around nervously. Addressing your customers, especially female as “guys” really is a lazy way. I don’t want to be called a guy. What really got me was right before we walked into that department the same clerk approached a 60 something year old man and addressed him as “sir.” “Hello Sir, can I help you find anything?” To me that is respectful and dignified.

So why does a man get called Sir and we were called “guys?” To me, this is discounting your customers. To their credit, at least Barnes and Noble was not the barren ghost town that I encountered at Ulta Beauty in Pembroke Pines a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe I was raised in the wrong era. I truly think sometimes I was. The term “you guys” is prevalent in pop culture. It began in casual conversation and in my opinion it should stay there. The usage of the term is too casual to address your customers, especially those who are older than the clerk. I do remember this topic came up in my women’s studies class in college and it was clear then that most women were irritated by the term ‘you guys.” I betcha somebody out there will read this post and say “Looks like Annamarie Ricci is a feminist!” Guess again. I think men should be called “sir” or “guys” and the ladies should be addressed properly also in gender specific titles and if you cannot do that, simply omit a title altogether and just say “hello. Welcome to our store. Can I help you today?” I think that I would even prefer hearing the dreaded “ma’am” to “you guys,” or “youse guys.” As they would say it in Chicago-speak.

Now back in the 1950’s, as I have been informed by some folks much older than me, this term was used as a greeting among the white working class-the lower end working class, mind you. From this I gather that from an historical perspective this was a term used to denote the lower class. The thought of this burns me up even more. Was there something about the way we were dressed that gave this clerk the impression that we came from the lower class as compared to the older man who was addressed as “sir?” My friend accompanying me is male and he wasn’t called Sir. That’s really enough to give customers a complex.

I doubt this young man knows the origin of this term because it has established itself (to my chagrin) in modern American language and culture. The term is used so widely and is perceived by the younger people as being hip and cool. Hip and cool young people… the same ones who wear their pants down so low that the crotch falls down to knee level and their boxers are showing. None of them know where that “style” originates either or what it signifies. At the rate our society is deteriorating, when this sales associate reaches an age of refinement himself, I’m sure the next generation of store clerks will be calling their elders much worse than “guys.”
