ꜱʟᴀʏ ᴍᴏᴅᴇʟ ꜱᴇᴀʀᴄʜ 2022 ᴡᴀʟᴋ 3 While some see lingerie modeling as simply strolling down a runway in one’s undergarments, others know of a deeper struggle that requires a certain courage to overcome. Growing up, I was overrun with body dysmorphia to the point where I second guessed every minor decision relating to my appearance. Fast forward to Saturday, as I glided through the runway with my chin held high, I could not help but think of the people that got me to this point. As many of you know and have learned, building one’s confidence is a feat that does not simply happen overnight. In times when I felt overwhelmed, I was lucky to have a strong support system that had my back no matter what... my sisters, The Hornitas. I walked to tell everyone loud and clear “My Confidence is NOT a Facade.” • • • • • • • HAIR STYLIST: @itsejkeshishian @patricksantaana MAKEUP ARTIST: @maccosmetics @estherlee48 @christopherroa DESIGNER: @carmenliulingerie @itscarmenliu STYLIST: @jamescatalanohair SPONSORS: @maccosmetics @queenlyapp @enfemmestyle @daftboy @f18hair @enjoyhaircare @joshrosebrook @abookof hosted by @ariscestocrat PHOTOGRAPHER: @stevenlamphoto EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: @yetasuncion #model #fashion #modeling #runway #makeup #competition #trans #weho #losangeles #pride #lingerie #style #urban #maccosmetics #mac #modelsearch #slaymodelsearch2022 #heels #runwaywalk #fashionshow #carmenliulingerie #support #sisters #beauty #friends #lgbtq #lgbt #transisbeautiful #blessed #grateful
