STYLISH SUPERMODEL

From our magazines, online shopping and now tv screens...Miss Lilah P is slowly but surely taking over the world...or at least it feels that way to us!
We spotted our little stunner on Stylistpick.com sporting some super chic wearable looks for Autumn.... get in there quick if any of this lot takes you fancy...we all know how quickly clothes sell out when worn by a celebrity!

FRIDAY, FIJI, FESTIVAL FUN!


We're rather excited here at Profile HQ....not only is it Friday but we have a weekend of festival scouting ahead of us thanks to our friends at FIJI water and iTunes festival...
Team Profile will be out in force scouting at Usher and Ed Sheeran this weekend, as always on the hunt for the face of the future...

FANTASTIC FIJI

Its been said enough times but it really is true...as any model will tell you...the biggest beauty tip out there is very simple...DRINK MORE WATER!
AND if the water is super cute, a celeb favourite and sustainably sourced, even better!! Here at Profile we are all mega fans of FIJI water....and so are our models who are never without their handbag sized mini bottles...a casting essential.
Just in case our friends at FIJI were not cool enough they are working with iTunes festival this year and have some tickets to give away (we have entered multiple times already...)....

TOP DOG MODEL PREVIEW!


Hah sorry...we know it doesnt feature our gorgeous girlie Lilah (star of this new ITV2 reality show)....but we just had to share this hilarious trailor for Top Dog Model.... with doggy diva's like this we may not be opening up a dog division here at Profile HQ!


LILAH PARSONS....ITV'S LATEST TV STAR!

After weeks of hints and speculation we can finally reveal what our resident super model, Miss Lilah Parsons has been up to... Looks like we have a new celebrity TV star on our books as the lovely Lilah is set to star in the latest reality show offering from ITV2...wait for it.... Top Dog Model (well come on...being Lilah it was never going to be something boring and ordinary!). The show launches next Wednesday night (so reserve your spot on the sofa and set you tv to RECORD SERIES) and we can hardly wait...we know our girl is going to be fab and on a serious note, with her years of experience, impressive body of work and eye for talent she will make an excellent judge. Here's a little interview with the girl herself to get you in the mood!
 Lilah in a fabulous French Connection dress
 
Are you excited about your role on the judging panel?
I am so excited, I think it is a great opportunity and it is so fun, I have been having such a good time.
Do you own a dog yourself?
Yes, I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Betty. At first I thought that she would win if she was in the show, but then the more the competition continues I realise the dogs have to do a bit more than just look pretty.
What’s the best thing you have seen from the dogs so far?
I don’t know where to start, it’s just been amazing, the things we have seen the dogs do, they have painted, done yoga and swam just to name a few.
What are you looking for from the dogs?
I think the winner needs to be more than just an all round model. I think it needs to be a dog that makes you get excited and makes you stop and stare, and when you see a picture of that dog, you look at it and say ‘wow’.
How has the standard been for talent?
It’s been really good, we did see some amazing tricks in the auditions. Sometimes the dogs and owners were worried more about the tricks than the dog looking like a model. This is a modelling competition and they need to have the behaviour of a model and that is the goal at the end of the day. We saw people in the auditions bringing dogs on skateboards and playing the piano but then they didn’t photograph very well. That was hard because we felt so bad because we didn’t really feel like they were right for our competition.
What’s been the highlight so far when you have been filming?
The underwater swimming was just hilarious but I loved the television advertsiment challenge. When I heard they were doing a tv ad I just thought this is going to be a disaster, I just couldn’t imagine it but I laughed so much. Each dog had to play a character and it was all about the way the dog looked at the camera and how they interacted with the actress. The challenges are pretty difficult and testing for the dogs and a lot of the things are harder than you would imagine.
What’s it been like working with Stacey and Addison?
Oh it’s been great, we all get on so well. We all met on the first day and we have just been laughing ever since.

SCHOOLS OUT FOR THE SUMMER

Too much work, and no vacation,
Deserves at least a small libation.
So hail! my friends, and raise your glasses,
Work's the curse of the drinking classes.
~Oscar Wilde
Right Bloggers....yes thats right its time for a little social media holiday (even we need a break from technology!)...but DONT WORRY we will be back in a couple of weeks with plenty of Profile updates and dare we say it..looking ahead to fashion week eek! On a serious note the agency is still open *cue bookers moan*, working on lots more jobs for us to blog about when we return. So have a lovely Summer everyone... I think we deserve it.

MORE MODELS ABROAD

Ok...now we're really jealous! We thought this was a behind the scenes shot from some glamorous location shoot...but no its just another snap of a Profile model on holiday. That bathing beauty is our very own Gemma Janes, doing some serious relaxing in Kefalonia, Greece.... wish you were here?

MODEL Q&A EMILY B


Where were you scouted?
I was scouted in 2010 at Reading Festival and at the time I was eating chips with face paint on and ketchup around my mouth – not a good look!
Favourite thing about London?
I love the amount of sushi available, visiting a sushi bar is my favourite thing! I also love the underground; it gets you anywhere you need to be.
Modelling dream?
To work on a big campaign in a high end fashion magazine
Model you most admire?
There are so many models I admire and look up too but one of my favourites would be Emma McLaren as I really love her original look.
Describe your off duty look
My off duty look is pretty basic, I usually stick to comfort and wear my favourite pair of black skinny jeans with my white vans.
Ideal day off:
Having a long lie in, and usually going to the river to meet friends.
I can’t live without:
My Blackberry and Oyster card – they get me everywhere!
Nickname:
Ems, or Bunje because of my unusual surname!
Designer/brand I wear:
I tend to wear a lot of Topshop/Urban Outfitters style clothing (an obvious choice I know!)
Designer/brand I wish I could wear/afford!:
I love Miu Miu and I’ve always wanted a big pair of Channel or Gucci sunglasses.
Place I need to visit:
I would love to visit Thailand; a few of my friends have been travelling there and said it’s amazing! I would also love to go to shopping and site seeing in New York!
My friends would describe me as:
Blonde– I don’t know whether that’s a good thing…
Handbag essential:
Again my phone and oyster card, but I would never go to a job without my A-Z! I also take my iPod everywhere.
Best thing about the industry:
The best thing is the clothes, and having your hair and makeup done in a completely different style every time. I also like the thrill of being sent on a job and never really knowing what to expect, or who you’re going to meet.
Worst thing about the industry:
Everything is a little too last minute, the last minute planning and changing gets a bit confusing! It’s also hard when you don’t get optioned for a job you really wanted.
If I wasn’t modelling I would
Be in the police force. I would really love to be a detective, so I would need to work my way through the force!

LOOKING BACK AT LILAH

As a model your first ever polaroids are a terrifying experience...usually the first photos ever taken and the start of a modelling career. Many jobs have been booked off the humble first polaroid and have aways played a major part in the casting/booking proceedure...
SO when we stumbled across these gems of a certain Miss Lilah Parsons, aged 16 we couldnt help but say 'awwwwww...'! You can see just why our girl is such a success...aged 16 she was already a superstar
