In The Spotlight: Frankito Arias

I'm blessed to be able to share with you all these amazing spotlights of talented artists, designers, producers, and more! I get more and more requests every month, and it blows me away! As always, if you are interested in featuring your work (or your client's work) on The Spotlight, feel free to email me! 

Today we have on the blog, model/actor Frankito Arias! Frankito is relatively new to the industry, and was introduced to acting and modeling back in 2011 by his current manager, Tahyira Savanna. “The truth is, it was just something fun to do and she thought I had real skill.” The duo were both new to their jobs—Frankito to acting and modeling and Tahyira to managing—but they gave it a shot anyway. “The response was so good, we started to take it more seriously and now that I have had a taste of what it is I found my true path,” the actor admitted.

I have a spotlight to start off 2011! I present to you KIMMI-K, a plus size model doing her thing in the modeling world! Originally from St. Louis and now living in Nashville, Kimmi started modeling about 6 years ago. After facing rejection during a casting call on a fashion show, Kimmi became more determined to pursue modeling. After contacting a photographer and making a Model Mayhem profile, she booked a photoshoot with Chris Hollis. "Once I shot with him I knew this was something I wanted to do," Kimmi said. "I kept going to casting calls, networking with other models, designers and photographers. I hired me a modeling coach, and that is mainly how I got started."
