Sierra McClain Runway Magazine Interview

Sierra McClain Runway Magazine Interview

Hello Sierra, you looked amazing on your RUNWAY magazine shoot today.

Thank you so much!! I was in love with a couple of those pieces.

What was your favorite look?

I’d have the say the red dress was my favorite look overall for sure. The clean makeup, the art in the back, white walls, paint splattered ladder. My favorite, hands down.

Tell us what your favorite things in your closet are?

My sweatshirts and sweatpants, and my favorite pair of combat boots.

Are you a shoe fan?

Somewhat! It’s funny because I have several pairs of heels in my closet, but I really only wear one pair.

What is like shooting a typical episode of Empire? What is your schedule like?

It depends on how heavy Nessa is in the episode! But if she’s in it quite a bit or has a musical number, then it’s table read, fittings, a studio session at some point, and a few shoot days! So it can get kind of busy.

What is the funniest thing to ever happen to you on set? 

Ah man! There have been some good moments on set, but one of the funniest moments was probably during the very first episode of filming when I was performing “Need Freedom.” During one of the takes, Terrence came onstage and started singing backup with me, and I was doing a good job of playing along until X, (‪Xzibit), came onstage and started doing that new age running man. I couldn’t hold it, I completely broke!

What kind of music do you listen too?

R&B, Hip Hop, Urban music mostly. Old school classics as well! Babyface, D’angelo, ‪Lauryn Hill, 80’s and 90’s music. But I have a plethora of music on my playlist, that’s just what I listen to the most. 

What is your favorite movie?

Love and Basketball. I love Black Loveee. 

What is your favorite color?

 Any earth tone!

What are your favorite red carpet designers?

To be honest, I’m just now sort of getting into that stuff. I haven’t been super big on brand names. I literally only shop at my local mall and Target. That’ll probably change once I start looking into it little bit though!

How about some advice to aspiring talent?

Be head over heels in love and committed to your craft. Study. Practice. Don’t just work on the technical side, work on trusting yourself and your instincts and completely giving over to what it is that you want to do for the rest of your life.

Inside the Story

About ULTRA Worldwide™

 
ULTRA WORLDWIDE™ IS THE GLOBAL EDITION OF THE WORLD’S PREMIER ELECTRONIC MUSIC EVENT, ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL®.
 
The ULTRA brand in relation to live events was founded in 1997 in Miami by Executive Producer, President & CEO, Russell Faibisch, who began by producing electronic music events which led to the inaugural Ultra Music Festival® in 1999 on the sands of Miami Beach.
 
The internationally renowned festival, which has taken place every March since its inception, celebrated its nineteenth anniversary on March 24-26, 2017 by bringing over 165,000 music enthusiasts to the sold out waterfront event in the heart of the City of Miami. Ultra Music Festival®, recently voted the world’s #1 Festival by DJ Mag for the second consecutive year, returns to Bayfront Park for its twentieth annual edition on March 23-25, 2018.
 
Choosing to follow a unique and creative vision and a wholly organic growth focused on its true love for music, artists and fans alike, the ULTRA and ULTRA Worldwide™ brands represent not only the world’s biggest and most successful remaining INDEPENDENT electronic music festival brand, but also the most international festival brand in the world. Event organizers continue to transport the unrivaled experience from the Miami flagship festival to an ever-growing number of destinations and Ultranauts all over the globe.
 
Over the past nineteen years, thousands of the world’s most iconic DJs, producers and live acts have mesmerized audiences with awe-inspiring sets at ULTRA festivals in ARGENTINA, BALI, BRASIL, CHILE, CROATIA, IBIZA, JAPAN, KOREA, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA and of course MIAMI, as well as ROAD TO ULTRA® events in BOLIVIA, CHILE, COLOMBIA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, KOREA, MACAU, PARAGUAY, PERU, THE PHILIPPINES, PUERTO RICO, SINGAPORE, TAIWAN, THAILAND and the USA. Each new global edition has been founded on the same successful recipe that has been perfected over nineteen years in Miami, combining the most diverse electronic talent with the most technologically advanced, large-scale festival productions in the world.
 
The ULTRA brands have pioneered the live stream experience with ‘ULTRA LIVE’ (with over 650 million live stream and recorded set views from Ultra Music Festival Miami since 2013) and the audio broadcasting platform ‘UMF RADIO’ (syndicated to FM Radio in over 62 countries and reaching more than 22 million listeners weekly). Also UMF FILMS’ collaboration with FINAL KID has seen some of the most visually breathtaking festival aftermovies in the music space, including a feature-length documentary exploring the explosion of dance music, entitled CAN U FEEL IT™, which was premiered on the red carpet at the Klipsch Amphitheater in Miami in 2012 and was exhibited in over 500 theaters across the Unites States.
 
2016 and 2017 have seen the ULTRA and ULTRA WORLDWIDE™ brands continue to push the boundaries even further, bringing an unparalleled combination of cutting edge productions and the world’s best electronic acts back to previous strongholds and new frontiers across the globe. With the SOLD-OUT edition of ULTRA Brasil®, ULTRA Singapore™ having become a full scale two-day festival, RESISTANCE’s debut standalone South America Tour, and the debut of ROAD TO ULTRA®’s Hong Kong, 2016 was the brand’s most successful year to date.  A RESISTANCE summer residency at Privilege Ibiza is confirmed for 2017, while ULTRA China will debut in Shanghai on September 9-10, 2017. Also in 2017, two ROAD TO ULTRA® events will take place in New Delhi and India. ULTRA® have revealed further expansion into Australia for 2018. The ULTRA brand will be present in at least TWENTY-THREE COUNTRIES across SIX CONTINENTS worldwide by the end of 2018.
 

Carly Hughes Runway Magazine Interview

Carly Hughes Runway Magazine Interview

 
You have an amazing voice, where did you learn to sing?
Thank you! I’ve kind of been singing since I learned to talk. Haha.  It’s a talent I’ve been blessed with, that I have learned about and strengthened over the years. I sang in choir in elementary and all the groups in high school, and took my first voice lesson in college. Then learned the most from being out in the field, if you will, on Broadway, from the numerous talents and legends I’ve been fortunate enough to work with. I’ve been lucky, working on shows that really stretched & challenged me, both creatively & vocally. 

 
How did Broadway come into your life?
When you graduate with a B. F. A. in Musical Theatre, it’s (fingers crossed) the natural progression. I grew up watching golden age musicals on VHS tapes, thinking “how fun would it be to do that for a living!”  But not really knowing that it was attainable for me. I didn’t see my first Broadway show till my last year of high school, and was instantly like “ooohhhh, so people do do this for a living?!” Lol 

 
Who are your favorite designers?
Christian Louboutin (need him in my life!) , Christian Siriano, Alice & Olivia, Zac Posen, Cushnie et Ochs, Kate Spade…
 
Any items in your closet you can’t live without?
SHOES. All my shoes. They can turn even the simplest outfit into something amazing. I like that I’m known for what shoes I wear. Makes it worth buying the ….. pairs that I have! 

 
What is your schedule like, are you a morning or a night person?
Night person all the way! Me and mornings are occasional acquaintances… The night and I are best friends. I can’t get home and jump in the bed, I like to wind down and relax in my space. 
 
Do you have any pets?
No. But I’m probably going to get myself a puppy for Christmas :) I’ve wanted one for a while. 

 
What do you do in your free time?
I really like to cook. Cooking is just another form of being creative. It’s fun, relaxing, and I love feeding my friends! I also LOVE movies! Going to the movies, renting on my Apple TV, watching Netflix. A couch, a good movie, and a glass of wine…. 
 
Who inspires you?
My dad, with all he’s been through, he’s still going strong with faith and love. 

 
Do you have any advice for aspiring talent?
Know what you do, and do what you know. Don’t waste time trying to be an imitation of someone else, no matter how talented that “someone else” may be. Be confident in the fact that no one else can do what you do, that’s what makes you unique.

Joanna Krupa RUNWAY magazine Cover Interview

A RUNWAY magazine exclusive
Fall 2016 Cover Girl Interview

We are here with the beautiful Joanna Krupa at her amazing home in Los Angeles. The lights are flashing, the clothes are out and it is a gorgeous day. 

Hello Joanna,

Are you having fun on your RUNWAY cover shoot? I always try to have fun on all my shoots because I love what I do and it makes it even more enjoyable working with people u trust like Mario Barberio. 

What are your favorite designers for red carpet? I always mix it up from Michael Costello to Elisabetta Franci , styles from Reve boutique,  to Walter Mendez , house of celeb boutique etc etc . RUNWAY’s archive also features Mckenzie Olsen discussing Walter Mendez and Los Angeles Fashion Week. To me it’s not the price or designer but the way it looks on me. So it easily can be something inexpensive. Also I love for the star s showroom with amazing designers like Rlie Madi, Rocky Gathercole. 

Tell us about your shoes!

I love high heels. Shoes make u feel sexy because they make your legs look good. As soon as u put on a Fabulous pair they make me feel hot and confident and make your legs look good as it brings out the muscles make your butt look better and firm. They change your posture and make any out fit look amazing 

How about bags, what do you rock?

Stella McCartney because all her bags are vegan and I love that she is cruelty free because there is no reason to kill and torture innocent animals for fashion.

 

 

I heard your busy on the set.

Tell us about your upcoming films.

I have shot 2 movies last year one called u can’t have it with Armande Assante and Rob Gronkowski where I play one of the lead roles posing as bartender that’s really an undercover agent 

Other movie is another day in paradise where I play a park nurse staring Frankie Muniz.  

I also just finished filming my 6th season of Poland’s top model. 

Where did you learn to dance?  I took ballet when I was a little girl  from 5-10 years old but I had to quit cause parents had financial troubles . but my biggest dream came true when started in dancing with the stars and learned how to dance then and it was one of the best days of my life but I haven’t continued to dance after the show as it takes a lot of one and dedication and a great partner but with my busy schedule it’s hard to pursue. 

Tell about your funniest moments on The Real Housewives. 

What do you do for fun? I love to hike and bike ride to keep in shape 

 

What are your favorite places to visit in Miami? Mynt lounge which is the hottest nightclub in Miami that is owned by my husband. My favorite place to eat is Niaraya and Bal Harbour shops. 

 

Do you have pets?

 I have 6 dogs one that I just fostered that is very sick with a heart murmur so we will end up keeping him. 

1- Sebastian cavalier King Charles spaniel 

2- prince Yorkie mix 

3-rugby Yorkie mix

4-shaggy terrier mix

5- Darla Dauchsund beagle mix 

6- cinnamon cavalier King Charles spaniel 

 

What’s your favorite social media?

Instagram cause less drama more photos 

Any advice for new talent?

Keep fighting for what u believe in and never give up . The business is tough tons of competition so you have to have thick skin in order to stay sane and positive. 

Alano Miller Runway Magazine Interview

Alano Miller Runway Magazine Interview

How are you doing today?

I’m great!  Shooting season 2 of Underground in HOT Savannah, very excited to share soon.
 

Tell us about your personal style?

I’m a jeans guy.  G-Star Raw, Levi’s, casual with a bit of edge but when I’m out for an event I love to look sharp in a well-tailored blazer/suit/tux. 

 Who are your favorite ready to wear designers?

G-star Raw, John Varvatos, Zara, Suit Supply, J Crew.  It’s hard to name them all because I pick and choose pieces from designers who excite me.

What are your choices of fashion for the red carpet?

Like I said, I love to look sharp.  Very fitted.  Classic.  Then on some days, I want to push the envelope a bit with an outfit from Turk or Saint Laurent.  I gotta keep you guessing.  I want to wear things that have a bit of pop to them and allow me to have the best of all worlds.  
 

What was is like coming from such a large family?

It’s interesting to say the least.  I did learn a lot about finding my individuality.  We aren’t close in age so we weren’t wearing each other’s clothes.  I had a front row seat to learning from my siblings’ success and challenges.  And from that, I learned who I wanted to be.
 

Tell us about your upcoming movie Loving for Focus Features? 

Loving is about the landmark case Loving vs. Virginia.  In which an interracial couple got married and were banned from living in the state of Virginia.  That court ruling was one of the most important and powerful rulings in American history.  I play Raymond Green who is Richard Loving’s best friend.  It was a profound friendship, and a very unassuming one.  We don’t show this in the film, but Richard actually died in Raymond’s arms.  Loving is a beautiful and relevant film, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
 

What can we expect to see in season two of WGN’s Underground? 

OHHH.  I don’t think anyone is ready for season 2 of Underground.  I’m so excited!!  I can only say that this season is gut punching.  It will challenge the way we’ve seen these main characters.  So many brilliant themes this year that are so relevant to the times we are in.  This season is bolder, bigger, an all-out brawl.  We’re taking it the next level!

What is the craziest thing that’s ever happened to you on set?

On Jane, the Virgin my character has a death scene in which he is impaired by an ice sculpture.  I had to balance my entire body using one leg while laying on a very fragile and freezing ice sculpture.  It took everything in me to stop shaking so they could get the shot.  It was amazing once it was all done.  My leg grew three sizes that day. 

What is your favorite color?

Blue.  It covers the gambit of moods.
 

How about your favorite food?

Lasagna.  Why did you ask me this question?  Now all I want is lasagna right now.  It’s so good and it’s also very hard to find great lasagna.  And I can’t eat any of that because I’m shooting.  WHY GOD WHY!!!

 Where is your favorite place on Earth?

Wherever my wife is.  When I’m with her places seem to come to life.  Her energy and light bring out the beauty of a place.
 

Do you support any charities?

I’m working on it.  My wife and I are interested in supporting causes against domestic violence, better educational outlets, and mentorships for young people of color.

Do you have any advice for new actors?

Don’t be in a rush to be successful or to get it right.  Timing is everything, enjoy the process.  I constantly thought I was ready for the next level and then when I got to the next level, I was ready.  It’s funny how that works.  If you’re meant to be an actor then you’ll be an actor.  The question is are you willing to accept what that looks like in your life?  It may not be red carpets, magazine spreads, and major awards but it may be you changing so many lives on stage or in schools.  Your greatness isn’t dependent on your exposure but the effectiveness with which you sharpen the lives you touch.  We’ve been called as artist to challenge the norm, to hold up a mirror and to give voice to the voiceless.  So get to work, there’s a lot of people who need you.

 

WILL’S CANGA Interview

WILL’S CANGA Interview

 

What are your favorite designers?

   I would have to say that without a doubt, My Favorite Designers are Rocky & Jacob. Jacob the Founder and the Creator of “For the Stars Fashion House” has a well-tailored, classy costume boutique for all occasions.  His partner Rocky is the Ultimate of Fashion Designers.  The “For the Stars Fashion House” has the most Spectacular style of Fashion’s best, and their “Out of this world” shoes, along with a wide variety of accessories, that bar none, are the best you can acquire anywhere.  With constant Fashion Shows to show off their high rated costumes, Jacob and Rocky always aim to please, and they hit that mark every time. 

Website Link: Forthestars.com

Tell us about your personal style.

My personal style all depends on the day.  To relax I wear comfortable shorts or jeans with a    T-Shirt and my Nike tennis shoes.  When Out on the Town, out come my polished Italian Tween fashioned shoes.  My well pressed black or deep blue suits, from the Damt / Tween Company, with matching ties.  My choice of color is contingent on my mood at the time.  I like to present myself with a touch of Class so therefore, my accessories give my wardrobe that final touch of elegance.

What are your most memorable experiences on set?

I recently had the pleasure of attending the “Johnny Crisstopher Charity Foundation” “ HELP” in Las Vegas.  Criss Angel, one of the most famous “illusionists” to date, opened the stage to some of the Top Stars for Entertainment.  His goal is to raise awareness for Pediatric Cancer, and that in the end Cancer would be no more.  Donations poured in all evening, and there was never a dry eye in the house.  I felt so privileged, to be on stage with Criss Angel, and to witness a most heartfelt evening in many years.  It was a night to remember forever.  A memorable experience, for sure.  Crissangelhelp.com

What was your favorite role?

I was type cast in a role that worked me harder than any other role in my career so far.  Soccer is one tough game, and because I was the number one soccer player, I trained hard and had to play soccer ever day for hours, until I could prove that I could be that number one soccer player.  This game, as difficult as it was, gave me strength, courage to go the extra mile, and it lifted my self-esteem higher than ever.  My role as the number one soccer player gave me a sense of how it feels to win.  To be the first, the best, and the unbeatable, took every drop of Blood, Sweat and Tears, and in the end, it was the most gratifying role in my career’s history.

How do you spend your free time?

Free time is precious in this business, so my number one goal is to get as much rest as possible.  I have a beautiful dog “Skyla”, she is my best friend at the park every day.  I meet up with some of my close friends, and go to dinner to catch up with some interesting conversation.  I work out at the GYM at least 4 times a week, to keep my body in shape.             

What kind of car do you drive?

I have a Porsche Carerra Convertible 2009.  With the many beautiful sites to see here in Los Angeles, my convertible is a charm to drive.  I also have a Mercedes Benz C 300 2010 for those days when the air conditioner is a relief from the heat, I feel blessed with this car.

Are you a morning person or a night person?

My mornings are sacred to me.  It is the time when there is no one around, with no chatter or noise to shut down.  These are the moments of reflection, meditation and calm for me.  It is during these moments, that I am thankful to God, and for all the people who have Faith, who Believed in me, and have helped me get to where I am today.  I use this time to clear my head, and just be.  Some deep breathing exercises work well, to keep me centered.  I love mornings, the Sun is out, the sky is clear, I have had my breakfast, my coffee and now I am ready for the day.

Ten Sex Postions Basics

Ten Sex Postions Basics

1. The butterfly position or modified missionary


“With the woman on her back and her hips on the edge of the bed, the man penetrates her while standing. She then puts her legs over his shoulders and tilts her hips slightly upward. This gives a wonderful angle for cervical stimulation, with deep penetration that can produce some intense vaginal and uterine orgasms. With more shallow penetration, a man can stimulate the anterior vaginal wall to hit the G-spot.”

 

2. Modified coital alignment technique


“A couple starts off in missionary position. Once a man penetrates a woman deeply, he allows her to bring her legs together between his. He then shifts his weight slightly forward so that the shaft of his erection is producing firm pressure and friction on her clitoris as he moves. This works very well for women that prefer to have clitoral stimulation during penetration to reach a very powerful orgasm.”

 

 

3. Baring the scepter


“Either partner can perform this technique, although the bottom person’s hands may be more able to pull it off. Form a ring with thumb and forefinger around the base of the penis. Then pull down so the skin on the shaft is taut. This exposes more nerve endings and increases the penis’ sensitivity. It can also help maintain his erection. Engage in intercourse with your hand still encircling the base to send his pleasure soaring.”

 

4. The countertop


“This is my favorite. It’s when the woman is lying on her back on the counter or table while he enters standing. It’s rough. There’s pushing aside of papers, pepper shakers, which add to the sense of urgency and inappropriateness. It’s easy to maneuver and move the woman to slide along the counter. There is still contact. He goes deep and feels in control. It works all the way around. The keys are clothing, stuff in the way and being in an open space. Still allows for connection while feeling dirty. It just works on so many levels. It’s not about acrobats. It’s about context.”

Inside Ten Sex Postions Basics

 

5. The seated scissors


“This position allows the woman to have the control in order to determine the depth and angle of penetration as well as how much clitoral stimulation she gets. With the man lying flat on his back and his knees bent, she straddles him with one leg to the side of his hip and the other leg between his legs. The woman can then find just the right spot to grind against his pubic bone with him inside her. She controls the pace, the depth and the amount of pressure and friction she receives. This is definitely a prescription for mind-blowing sex!”

 

 

6. Get off, stand up


“I’m no [pro], but whenever I’ve had sex standing up and holding my partner in the air or up against the wall, it’s been mind-blowing for both of us. I suspect it taps into some of our innate gender differences — the strong man and the small woman — which in turn heightens the sexual experience. It also forces us to be in a full embrace, which furthers the emotional connection as well as our physical one. It’s physically demanding and not for all couples, but for those that can, it’s highly recommended.”

 

7. Uncloaking the clit


“Given a woman’s clitoris is buried under the clitoral hood and cushiony mons pubis surrounding it, it’s no wonder this tiny nub rarely receives enough stimulation during intercourse to catch the O train. Your hands, though, can help change that. Form a V with your index and middle fingers, and point your fingers toward your feet. Press this V onto the mons pubis, with a finger to each side of the clitoris. Then pull up, moving the skin with your hand. This should unveil the hard-to-reach clit in all its glory, exposing this little love button to a lot more action.”

The Relationship Dynamic

 

8. Shake ‘n’ bake

“If you’re craving a quick but stimulating break from intercourse, this move is the perfect titillating timeout. To do it, the man withdraws and rests the tip of his penis on the clitoris. Then, hold the base of the penis, and shake it quickly from side to side so that the head hits the clitoris with every wiggle. In doing so, you’ll be stimulating both heads at once — that of the clitoris and the penis — which should send you both into paroxysms of pleasure.”

 

9. Pushing tush


“If your guy enjoys having his back door explored, reach around with both hands, and grab both cheeks. From there, you can do ‘butt yoga’ (a technique whereby you spread the cheeks apart, then together, one up one down, then vice versa) or ‘anal yoga’ (a technique whereby you place your middle fingers to the sides of the anus, then spread them apart, then diagonally, then up and down). If that gets him hankering for more, feel free to delve deeper.”

 

 

10. Happy scissors


“Heating up hot spots aren’t your hands-only talents. They’re also great at moving body parts where you want them, and this technique is a prime opportunity. During intercourse, raise your legs, then have your man hold an ankle in each hand. From there, you can spread her legs apart, hold them together, part them at 80 degrees — the options are endless. And since the tendons of the legs pivot deep in the pelvic cavity, moving them around will subtly alter the below-the-belt sensations for you both. Talk about getting a leg up on a little variety!”

Zulay Henao Interview

Zulay Henao Interview
RUNWAY magazine 2016 shoot in Hollywood

 

You looked great today. Did you have fun?

Thank you, yes I had a blast, it was an intimate space with so many creative pieces to pick from, and who doesn’t have a good time getting glammed up? Thank you for having me! :)

Who is your favorite designer?

I am not one for “favorites,” I feel there are so many designers that speak to me in different ways. I really love OTT right now; I love their eccentric, colorful pieces. But Oscar De la Renta is one of my all time classic favorites, unparalleled elegance.

What is your personal style like?

I am both of the things I described with the designers I mentioned. I really love a casual chic, but also an elegant polished look.

How do you feel about shoes? Do you have any favorite brands?

I of course love a sexy Louboutin heel -but recently have really been loving Gianvito Rossi. He does a really sleek and feminine heel that you can dress up or have a casual day in.

Tell us more about your role in “True Memoirs of an International Assassin.”

OH I can’t wait for you guys to see this! My character is Rosa, and she is a badass DEA agent who is on a solo mission to save her country from the corrupt politicians who are running it, alongside a very unlikely partner, Sam, (played by Kevin James). It is a fun, action packed comedy also starring Andy Garcia. We premiere in November on NETFLIX – :)

You were also on OWN’s #1 rated drama “If Loving You Is Wrong”, what was that like?

My experience with Tyler [Perry] and Oprah has been nothing short of amazing- it’s been a growing and learning experience. Our show is a lot of fun and it just gets better because my cast mates and I are now really close and just have a blast.

What kind of music do you listen too?

Right now I am listening to Jill Scott on Pandora; she’s definitely one of my favorite artists. Music is a transformative art form. I can listen to Jill, Drake, Alabama Shakes, and Chopin all in one day– I love it all.

What do you like to do for fun?

Fun for me involves so many different things it’s such a big exciting world. I love to travel and just got back from Italy and Austria, and now planning a trip to Maui. I really enjoy the beach; it soothes me, puts me at ease, and grounds me with the bigger picture of life. Fun is dinner with friends, wine tasting, paddle boarding, painting, and learning to use my new camera.

What’s in the future for you? Do you have any exciting news you want to share?

I am currently working on creating my production company. My brother and I came up with a very solid and timely idea, as we are dealing with a love story surrounded by a lot of social injustice issues. I am putting my producer hat on, seeing what life is like behind the camera. I think is the natural progression. But, the future also involves starting a family and doing more traveling!
