The Athleta Catalog is Full of SLU Fitness Models!

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:43:48 +0000

Remember that great Athleta video we shared on Wednesday? Well, the accompanying catalog is out, and a gang of SLU fitness models are all over it. Check out who was there with a sampling of some of our favorite shots below!

Lauren C can be seen staring us down from yet another cover shot, taken in Belize:

Fitness Model Lauren C for Athleta

Lauren is an all-star track athlete who will be training for the Olympic trials in high-jump this summer. She is also an expert gymnast, runner, and power-weights lifter.

Fitness model Katie D went for it with a sprint on the beach in Kauai, and we’re loving the inspirational words lining up alongside her. It’s a pretty sweet campaign:

Fitness Model Katie D for Athleta

Katie is a runner and an avid soccer player who also can lift some serious weights. This was her first Athleta booking, and we couldn’t be more proud! Way to go, Katie!

Fitness Model Danielle H for Athleta

Danielle H, seen above, is a pro on the volleyball court and — as you might be able to tell from those triceps — rocks the shot put, among a long list of other track and field events.

Then there’s Drisana, our resident yoga queen:

Fitness Model Drisana for Athleta

Drisana is also a personal trainer, track and field athlete, and cyclist–there’s really not much that the lady can’t do.

Fitness Model Corinne G for Athleta

Corinne G , seen above, is our girl for all things water–whether it’s freestyle, snorkeling, jet skiing or surfing, this native Hawaiian has it handled.

Kumara to host MTV Extreme Cribs

admin — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 19:05:57 +0000

For nearly a decade, MTV has been documenting the grandeur of celebrity homes through their Television series, MTV Cribs. Celebrities open their front doors to viewers, revealing luxurious rooms, decor, and the occasional Rolls Royce. This time around, the Cribs aren’t attracting attention for their bling and extravagance but instead for their unique architecture and sustainable qualities. Who better to host an episode of MTV Extreme Cribs than SLU’s Kumara? Her father is an artist and architect who has built a handful of unique, natural homes. Like her father, Kumara has chosen a career path that few share. As a professional snowboarder and model, Kumara’s life is as extreme as her family’s home, making her an ideal host and tour guide for MTV’s debut season of Extreme Cribs. Check out Kumara and her crazy crib on Friday, August 12th at 4:30 PM.

A well dressed mannequin is the first thing shoppers see as they pass a storefront window or walk through the front door. Thus, the look and build of a mannequin is crucial to attracting customers. Today, brands are dedicated to displaying their clothing on mannequins with an authentic build. That is why Athleta chose SLU model Danielle as their mannequin muse. Danielle is a track and field athlete training for the Olympics whose build provides the ideal “Dani-quin” for Athleta sportswear.

Talent Feature: Meet Matthias

admin — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 00:29:23 +0000

Matthias is a man with no fear. As a fierce skier and base jumper, he has traveled the world and documented his adventures along the way. The youtube video that follows his cliff jump off an avalanche is nearing 1.5 million views.

Here is an inside look at the man behind the ski mask.

Where are you from? Megeve, France. It is a small town in the French alps.

How old were you when you began skiing? 18 months old. My parents threw skis on me and sent me down the driveway in front of our house. I joined ski school when I was a bit older but began skiing at a very young age.

Do you participate in any sports besides skiing? I honestly play a little bit of everything! I played hockey as a boy. I also enjoy snowboarding, horseback riding, rock climbing, all mountain sports, and especially surfing. I have been surfing for 16 years and it is pure fun. I also base jump professionally and enjoy sky diving as well.

What is your favorite sport? Skiing is the most meaningful sport to me since it has shaped me into the person I am today. It kept me out of trouble as a kid! But each sport fills its purpose in my life. Some, like surfing, are purely for fun!

Sport has taken you across the world. Where is the most extreme location you have been? The most extreme location I have ski base jumped is the Matterhorn! That was unreal.

Where is the most unique location you have traveled to thanks to your sport? The most unique experience I have had is skiing in the Arctic Circle and seeing the midnight sun. There is nothing like skiing at 3 in the morning with the bright orange sun hovering above the ocean.

How long have you been modeling? I have been ski modeling for 8 years and about the same time for sportswear modeling.

What is your favorite commercial shoot to date? Base jumping with a 360 degree camera off a bridge in Idaho. The 360 degree camera provided complete 360 views of what a base jump looks like. As far as shoots I’ve done on my own, the avalanche video on youtube that has nearly 1.5 million views is my favorite so far. That was the ultimate ride as a skier. That is what you hope for, an experience like that.

Do you have any advice for someone with hopes to enter the sports modeling industry? Have everything documented because you may only be able to do it once. Also, whatever projects you are working on, have fun! When you are very driven and focused it can be easy to forget that having fun is the most important part of it all. If you’re having a good time, it will come across the best on camera.

What is your favorite pastime? Hanging out at home with my lady and cooking healthy food. Eating well is an important part of performing well, so that is important to me. Also, surfing as much as possible because its just plain fun.

What is your ultimate goal? I’m pretty much living my dream, but I hope to do even more and knock more projects off of my list. I hope to focus 100 % of my time to jumping and skiing. One of my ultimate goals is to ski base jump at 26,000 feet in the Himalayas!

‘Seattle’s Best’ Sports + Lifestyle Models

admin — Tue, 10 May 2011 16:28:01 +0000

As an agency that was originally founded as ‘Sports Unlimited” it seems fitting that our top lifestyle models come from a sports and fitness background. It’s not a coincidence that the majority of our Seattle based models are personal trainers. Trainers practice what they preach, they are highly disciplined and motivated individuals. They are always in peak performance and tip-top shape. Sports + Fitness is their background, but similar to our agency that’s not all they do. We invite you to meet Seattle’s Best Sports + Lifestyle Models… who also happen to be personal trainers! Similar to ‘Seattle’s Best Coffee’ they bring energy, endurance, and adrenaline to each modeling shoot. They bring ‘it’ all day long for fitness modeling shoots and can also show their softer side for lifestyle inspired shoots too… See for yourself!

‘JUMP CITY’ Premieres Tonight – Brady Romberg to Co-Host

admin — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 01:35:58 +0000

“JUMP CITY” an exciting NEW Parkour / Free-Running competition-based reality show will air tonight on the G4 Network at 8pm ET.

The season premier kicks of in the streets of Seattle. Tune in and watch SLU’s Brady Romberg co-host along side Blair Herter. As a fellow free-runner and member of Team Tempest, Brady’s the perfect person to weigh in on the talent!

What is Parkour? The physical discipline of training to make one’s movements as quickly and efficiently as possible while going from one place to another.

What is Free-Running? Incorporates the theory of Parkour, but also throws in the flair, tricks and acrobatics used to show off a free-runner’s self expression.

Now for the very first time, 4 teams of elite urban athletes go head-to-head for 8 weeks in this high flying competition, to find one champion team.

Jump City takes Parkour back to where it all started, in the streets.

Just who are those people featured in the Portland Timbers Billboard Campaign? SLU’s very own Katie!

SLU's Katie - The Oregonian - Photo by Benjamin Brink

Come spring, don’t look for Dober’s bicycle in the racks during Timbers games at PGE Park. The 25-year-old drives a 3/4 ton, silver Chevy Silverado when she comes in from Gales Creek, near Forest Grove, where she was born, lives and works.

Her family has roots in real timber: Her grandfather owned a sawmill, her uncle logs and her dad’s construction company (her place of employment) builds logging roads. “They do some logging; but there’s no yard, so no big logging jobs,” says Dober, an experienced handler of the bucksaw she grips in her billboard.

Get this look: “(The Photographer) said give us strong – not mean – but your best tough look. ‘Smile through your eyes, but look strong.’ ”

The Message she’s aiming to project: “We’re standing here, we’re ready for you, bring it on.”

How long before we see a female professional women’s soccer player on a billboard? “The Women’s World Cup starts this June,” says Dober, who has played soccer since she was 7, and coached youth and high school soccer teams. “So I think pretty soon.”

Swanson Studio 20/2 – Sports Models & Talent

admin — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 19:08:58 +0000

{Content and Images Courtesy of Swanson Studio}

Our friends at Swanson Studio, turned to us as they set out to embark on an exciting adventure to create and capture 20 test shoots, in just 2 short months.

For those of you who do not know, a test shoot is a photo shoot that is planned around an idea. Everyone involved in the shoot trades their time and service for a portfolio piece. Photographers get to experiment with new techniques and concepts while models and stylists get to update their books with fresh imagery. Everyone wins!

As a way to celebrate this achievement and share their hard work, Swanson Studio hosted a 20/2 exhibition the last week in January. The images were TOP SECRET until they released the book and shared the images at the event…We’ve been dying to share them with you! So without further ado, enjoy!

Jump.

Laura Coyier

Swanson Studio is kitty-corner from SLU’s PDX office and located under the tied arch of the Portland Fremont bridge. Simply step out the back door and you will find a maze of urban graphic shapes permanently suspended overhead. Marcus Swanson chose to seize the opportunity and experiment with the fleeting moments of suspension that could be created by throwing talent into the air like popcorn. Okay………. they did not actually throw them into the air, they drug a trampoline into the back parking lot and had our models sign a liability waiver.

Offense.

Tim Day

Tyler Ashlock’s inspiration was forever circling around the idea of shooting a Football themed test. Unfortunately, they could not find the right Talent for the job. Funny enough…… We had sent Tim Day to be the second boxer in the “boxing” shoot. Tim walked in, and the Swanson team looked up in awe! They HAD to shoot Tim again! Tim is an amazing guy, an ex Cincinnati Bengals player (due to an injury) he’s skilled, and authentic, which makes him a great Sports + Lifestyle Unlimited model.

Dunk.

Xavier Taylor

Valentino Lucas

Sean Reynold’s idea was to capture the EPIC DUNK shot in a different way. Instead of focusing on the static “perfect moment,” Sean wanted to capture the process as a whole.

Sean captured a sequence of positions in one shot. Adding to this, Sean used ambient light and longer exposures to introduce motion trails. The motion trails served to combine each static image into one energy filled shape.

Spray.

Katie Dober

All of the ‘water’ themed tests took place in the studio… In a pool. One 10ft x 10ft indoor pool made out of 3/4′ plywood and 36 custom apple boxes.

The pool was then filled with 750 gallons of water (8400 pounds of downward pressure and 750 of outward pressure) and trying to keep it warm is no joke.

The studio made great efforts to make sure Katie didn’t catch cold. They began with 50 degree tap water and rotated three, 15 gallon pots of boiling water to slowly recycle the pool water. By the end of the day, and after approximately 30 pots of boiling water they were able to bring the temperature up to a whopping 94 degrees! Impressive.

Alex Jones

Marcus Swanson takes some things very seriously. Especially photography. For this project he wanted to explore running so they called us, in search of serious runners. Alex Jones lives and breathes running. In High School Alex was a 5A Division Champion for 3 consecutive years. He went on to place Top 20 in the State in the 5K. Alex is currently training full time, in hopes of qualifying for the Olympic trials.

Matt Staib

As a sports based studio, it was important for Swanson to keep a lot of their tests in the sports vein.

The shoot was to be edgy, and true to life. The location was a beautiful spot in SE Portland that resembled parts of Europe, so the talent needed to be perfect. It is important to know that when it comes to shooting sports, having the right talent is imperative. As a Sports agency we specialize in scouting talent that actually play sports! The images were shot with the Polaroid SX-70.

Boxing.

Tim Day

A huge thank you to everyone at Swanson Studio, for allowing a handful of our talent to be a part of your 20/2 project!

From Dani to Daniquin: Inspiration Takes Form

admin — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 17:36:29 +0000

Article Courtesy of the Athleta Chi Blog

Athleta is about real athletes inspiring active women in a variety of venues. On the Athleta Chi blog, our featured athletes share their expert advice and insight, and our catalogs are filled with pages of performance gear put to the test by women athletes against stunning backdrops around the world.

When we set off on the journey to bring Athleta to “brick-and-mortar” in our flagship San Francisco store, we knew we couldn’t have our real-life athletes there to inspire customers and demonstrate the performance and beauty that’s core to everything we create. So, we started an exhaustive search for athletic mannequins and (no surprise) couldn’t find any that were truly feminine AND athletic — both in the figure and the pose. That’s when we knew we had to venture off the beaten path to create uniquely Athleta mannequins.

Affectionately called “Daniquins,” the mannequins are inspired and modeled after our very own Danielle Halverson. Over the years, Dani has traveled to distant lands with our team of athlete models and creative gurus, becoming an important part of the Athleta community. She’s a strong, beautiful person inside and out, and to give you a sense of who she is as an athlete, here are just a few of her accomplishments…

9 time H.S. Track & Field State Champion
2 time H.S. Basketball State Contender
GNAC Conference Record Holder
NCAA Nationals Track & Field Championships
2 time Runner-up Finish in Heptathlon
1 time National Champion (High Jump)
USA Track & Field Championships
Currently training for Olympic Trials, and for the Olympic Games London 2012.

Dani came to Athleta through Sports + Lifestyle Unlimited, an agency that helped land her on the cover and in the pages of notable publications like Runner’s World, Shape, and Women’s Health. As her agent, Karen Osborn, attests, “Danielle epitomizes the beautiful athlete that the Athleta brand represents, so we were thrilled to facilitate that relationship, along with our other great models they use!” We couldn’t agree more.

A few months ago, Dani traveled with members of Team Athleta to Broomfield, CO, where Fusion Specialties is based. There, overseen by Creative Director Stacie White, Dani was digitally scanned in various action sequences and static poses that included running and Trikonasana (aka triangle pose). A fiberglass prototype, having the basic dimensions but lacking the finer details, was created from these scans as a template for the seven on-site sculptors who would artfully hand-etch Dani from a pile of clay, down to her tiny delineations of sinew and muscle. The Fusion Specialties team worked tirelessly over months to fine-tune this special project for Athleta.

That dedication to their craft is apparent in attention to details that may surprise the layman. Mannequins suffer from what Stacie calls “losing a moment in time,” a quality that often distinguishes great photography from the rest. Similar to one of our photo shoots, computer images were taken of Dani in rapid-fire succession before finding one with the right spark. Human details, too, can be unexpectedly exaggerated — in mannequin form Dani’s legs appeared bigger and more venous. These incongruities were “mannequized” with guidance from Team Athleta. The final product is breathtaking, to say the least.

Just walking through the San Francisco store, it’s apparent these statuesque mannequins are more effigy than mannequin, their precision-carved bodies an homage to Dani’s athletic physique. The untrained eye may overlook the differences between our Daniquins and other, run-of-the-mill mannequins, but we know you’ll appreciate the attention to detail, and hope you enjoyed learning more about the woman who breathed life into our “Daniquins.”

Meet Drisana – Athleta Model & Real Life Yogi

admin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 19:18:18 +0000

Article courtesy of Nadia Murdock NY Fitness Examiner

Athleta showcased their versatile clothing line to a select group of fitness writers and offered an amazing yoga class with astound yoga instructor, and SLU model Drisana Carey. Carey has been practicing and teaching yoga for several years. I decided to interview her to get insight on the practice of yoga.

How long have you been teaching yoga?

I started guiding my roommates and friends in yoga classes while living in France in 2004, I had been practicing for 4 years and couldn’t find any classes in the area so we used my living room/bedroom to do yoga together, while I talked through the movements and postures. The following Spring of 2005 I returned to the states and took my first teacher training course in Los Angeles and started teaching at the same studio just after finishing the training I’ve been teaching at different studios around Southern California ever since.

In your opinion what are some benefits from practicing yoga?

There are many positive changes people experience during each class and even more benefits unfold after practicing yoga regularly. The more obvious ones are increased flexibility, strength, balance, improved posture, stable moods, and a reduced stress.

Many students have mentioned that they were surprised when they started sleeping better, relaxing more deeply and recognized a better sense of awareness, so less mistakes in their day to day life. The benefits are so numerous it all depends on what you really want to get out of the practice. I’ve found that when I set an intention then letting go of it while I practice surprising changes and gifts appear in my life.

What do you love most about this form of exercise?

I love the sense of connection. Connection with what is going on in my body; what is circling around in my mind and especially the connection with my breath. Connection also with the people and the environment around me, I love practicing outside near the ocean or in the sun on a warm day and even inside the dinkiest of studios have surprised me with a warmth of energy and connection with friends and strangers that cannot be quantified but fills me with a wonderful sense that keeps me continuously inspired to practice.

What are some other ways you stay in shape?

I love just about anything active. I run a lot, play beach volleyball, Pilates, plyometrics, biking, swimming, surfing, climbing, skiing, snowboarding, hiking. I’m usually up for whatever friends, weather and time supports. Regular trips to the gym bore me, so I love to mix it up and use the outdoors as my gym/playground.

Lastly what do you love most about Athleta clothing?

Athleta really gets the female athlete. The clothes are functionally designed extremely well, with performance, comfort and style in mind. Its clear when you feel the clothes that the designers are female athletes themselves. The materials are the kind that once you feel them on; you never want to take them off. I’m always on the go, being active is only part of my day and Athleta’s clothing can take you anywhere from the studio to the shops, to dinner wherever.

If you could describe the city or town at which you grew up in, share what your community was like? Describe the social economic status of your neighborhood…

I grew up in a rural area outside of Gig Harbor, Washington called Vaughn. My family had seven and a half acres which seamed like a vast wilderness at the time. We didn’t have many neighbors and it took twenty minutes to get to high school. Thirty minutes to town. I still live in a small cabin on the property hoping to build my own dream log home on an acre and a half that I own near by. The area is mostly middle class working families but the social spectrum is running more and more to the comfortable side. Gig Harbor has attracted a lot of money over the years especially to water front properties. There are two local high schools with popular sports programs. People work hard and enjoy the quality of living in the Gig Harbor area.

As a young person, did you have a “big dream” as an aspiring model…. If so, what type of modeling?

My aspiring dreams as a young person were to play in the NFL or go to the Olympics. I also dreamt about fishing and hiking in exotic and wild places.

I never had a “big dream” as an aspiring model. I pursued it based on the support and encouragement I received from family and friends that I could be successful at it. The industry sounded fun and exciting and I had the confidence to give it a try and be successful. The chance to get to participate in active and athletic photo shoots, meet new people and stay motivated to stay in shape was too much to argue with.

At what age/time did you first make an attempt in pursuing a career in the modeling industry? How encouraging or discouraging was the modeling industry when you first pursued it?

I graduated from the University of Idaho in the spring of 2001 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business and majored in Marketing. I attended under a full athletic scholarship to play football. I played wide receiver, kicker and punter. I first made an attempt at a modeling career in the fall of 2001. I was 23 years old. I visited Sports Unlimited from a referral in Seattle and have been working consistently ever since. I would say that the modeling industry was very encouraging. I started booking good jobs right away.

How long have you been a model?

I have been a model for ten years.

Do you have a success story that you can share about your achievements in your modeling career? Describe in detail your major accomplishments…

I am fortunate enough to have many highlights in my career. I was lucky enough to participate in a national commercial for Merrill shoes. I was paid to trail run all day. That’s one great thing about fitness modeling. You get paid to work out sometimes. I have also worked for Under Armor, Adidas, and Hammer Strength by Life Fitness. As well, I have been the poster boy for a national Nike campaign at Champ Sports.

I was the body for Nike Pro Compression for two years and participated in there Global sales meetings for four years. I have rappelled from the rafters of the Oregon Convention Center onto the runway for a Columbia Sportswear fashion show. I have worked for REI on a couple occasions and got to visit North Carolina with them. I shot a poster for New Balance which sits in 24hour fitness gyms all over. I have been on a Macy’s shopping bag and also did a runway show for Tommy Hilfiger. I’ve been lucky enough to work for a wide variety of companies. My experiences have been great with all of them.

If you could give advice to an individual who aspires to have a career in the modeling industry, what would you say?

Be realistic in what image you represent. Stay in shape, be well groomed, be polite and courteous, be punctual, be a great navigator, and be confident and relaxed as possible, patient and determined. Don’t take anything personal, have thick skin. You will not book them all.

Meet Kumara : Shred Betty of the Month

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:35:29 +0000

Interview courtesy of Diana Sciandra for www.shredbetties.com

Age: 22
Home Mountain: grew up at Mt. Baker, usually at Northstar-at-Tahoe.
Hometown: Mt. Vernon, WA. Land of the tulips!
Years Riding: 10
Results: Nothing too impressive, a couple of Burton Am wins and a lot of losses. Sponsors: Burton, Exit Real World, Smith Optics, Pow Gloves, Coal Headwear, Skullcandy and Bench Clothing.

Kumara is a unique name is there a story behind that?
My dad found the name at some hippie Hindu meditation workshop in the 70’s. Growing up he told me it meant royalty and innocence, and that’s true, but it’s also the name of a Hindu warrior god. And it’s what they call sweet potatoes in New Zealand. I swear my name means something in every language.

What are you up to in the off season? Any big travel plans?
I recently applied for a fashion marketing internship in Sweden and I really hope that pans out. Otherwise I am working on getting my business marketing degree, which is a slow-going process. Also doing some design work, a little modeling, biking lots, yoga, jumping off things into water and being tan. I’ll also take a couple summer snowboard trips to Mt. Hood.

How are you making going to college and snowboarding work?
Not very well, I take classes when I can (mostly during fall quarter) and during winter I focus completely on snowboarding. It’s hard to excel at both and snowboarding is the bigger focus right now, but I know if I keep plugging away at my degree I’ll get it. I love school and look forward to one day being a college grad. A lot of people go to college for seven years.

Where do you go to school?
University of Washington

What do you want to do with this degree?
Eventually, down the road somewhere, I want to start my own fashion brand. A brand inspired by snowboarding, surfing, traveling and all things awesome. I have a lot of creative energy that needs an outlet, I’d like to funnel all that energy into that little grey area where snowboarding meets skate meets surf meets music meets fashion meets high fashion meets art.

I understand you have website, do you use this website for the purpose of funneling your creative energy?
Yeah my website (http://www.kumarakelley.com) started out as a snowboard travel blog and has become a smorgasbord of everything I do; snowboarding, modeling, writing stories and vignettes, making silly lists, putting up various things I find funny, posting videos, showcasing my more fashionable days.

What are your plans for the upcoming season?
Becoming bad-ass.

What advice do you have for girls who are just starting to do competitions?

My advice? Keep up on other things that you love outside of snowboarding, it makes it easier when you lose and better when you win. I perform my best at contests when I am maintaining my yoga practice. Not only because it helps me physically and mentally but also because it reminds me that I have loves outside of snowboarding and that, well, it’s just snowboarding you know.

Most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you on a snowboard?
I obnoxiously and uncontrollably sing when I snowboard, and I have a horrible voice, so that’s embarrassing for anyone who hears me.

What tricks are you working on right now?
I’m trying to dial all four fives. I also really want shifty front five.

What’s your process for learning a new trick?
Haha, ummm, process….. I just kinda throw it and hope for the best. Usually I fall a whole bunch, get super pissed off and scream and stop trying until some later point, and then it usually comes together at that later point.

Sports Production Specialist, Scout, Coach + Trainer

admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 00:26:46 +0000

Hernando Planells is one of the most-sought after sports production specialist in film, television and print. Hernando provides directors, producers and studios an answer to their sport specific needs.

Planells’ coaching career began at age 19; at 20, he became the nation’s youngest varsity basketball coach, at Immaculate Heart High in Arizona. Since then, he’s led high school, college and professional teams and conducted coaching clinics across the U.S. and abroad, most recently as head coach for the Ryukyu Golden Kings in Okinawa, Japan.

“I’ve played sports my whole life, and always loved it,” Planells said. “I always wanted to do something in sports.”

Along the way, he met “movie people” from the TV show SlamBall, in which full-contact basketball is played with trampolines. He was intrigued, and with no acting experience himself, embarked on a new phase of his career.

Now as coach, choreographer and even NBA scout, he’s expanded his niche in the field he loves.

Planells says training actors is not much different from students; on set, however, his “students” can include the likes of Toby Maguire and Channing Tatum.

And in The Longest Yard, Planells led actor Adam Sandler and real-life pro football player Michael Irvin in a convincingly fierce prison-yard basketball game.

The motivation? Authenticity.

“In any type of sports production, it’s authenticity — the actor wants it to look real and great; he wants to look like a pro athlete. It’s hard to hit the shot, remain in character, say your lines, and be believable.” It’s not all work, however.

“My all-time favorite was Robin Williams,” Planells said. “We spent two days together working on a basketball scene that was cut from License to Wed — but it was great fun, with him doing his comedy routines.”

Planells’ latest work includes C9 Champion sportswear print ads for Target, and upcoming films Grown Ups, starring Sandler, and Just Wright, starring Queen Latifah, both set for release this year.

To learn more about Hernando and services he offers, call Karen Osborn at 323.939.7852.

Fox Soccer’s Temryss Lane makes a name for herself

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:19:21 +0000

Temryss talks about her career, identity and the game she loves

Ben Hooper

Special to MLSsoccer.com

May 25, 2010

NEW YORK — Temryss Lane’s story is one that we all wish could happen to us. Not only has she come out of nowhere to a co-host on a national TV show, but she gets to talk soccer and share her passion for the game. It’s a dream scenario for many of us, and it’s a new reality for Lane.

Born into a Native American family just outside of Seattle, Lane is a lifelong soccer player who has enjoyed a playing career that has seen her travel the world. She’s gone from the Pacific Northwest, to Arizona State, to the professional ranks in Sweden, and finally to Los Angeles, where she has become a kind of cult figure among soccerati for her sassy role on Fox Soccer Channel’s Fox Football Fone-In, with Eric Wynalda and Nick Webster.

“It’s been amazing so far,” she told MLSsoccer.com recently in Los Angeles. “A friend of mine sent me the job posting and I wasn’t sure exactly what it was for. I came to the audition on a Monday, the call back was on Wednesday, I was hired on Friday, and I was on live national TV the following Monday. That was my first experience on television, let alone live TV.”

A common theme emerges when you talk to former soccer players in the United States who have gone on to soccer-related post-playing careers. They all share a desire to stay connected with the game, to give back and to see their passion manifest itself in a job that keeps them connected with the sport.

Some go into coaching, like Dominic Kinnear, Peter Vermes, and Jason Kreis. Others go into the media. Lane’s co-host Wynalda, a former US international and MLS star, parlayed his on-the-field success into a career in television. So have former US internationals like John Harkes, Alexi Lalas, Heather Mitts, and Julie Foudy.

“After working at a hip hop and R&B station in San Francisco I realized that that wasn’t for me,” Lane said. “It was time for me to go find out what I was still passionate about. I started playing again while I was in San Francisco and I realized I needed to have soccer in my life. It’s been my first love and my passion my whole life.”

Her new career path has seen both admirers and detractors. While she has received plenty of positive feedback and reinforcement, there have been critics, especially on Twitter and Facebook. Many of them lash out at her soccer knowledge without any knowledge of their own about her background.

“A lot of people had no idea that I had credibility as a soccer player and that I could talk about soccer,” she said. “I’ve had to grow a thick skin. I have played the game my whole life.”

But she admits she did not grow up a world-class soccer junkie. She played a lot, but she didn’t follow the EPL or Serie A or scour the message boards for the latest on some American kid playing in Germany.

“Keeping up on all the soccer games, keeping up with it online, reading about it is new to me,” she said. “It’s been a good learning curve for me. It’s happening fast, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s a blessing to be able to have this opportunity.”

Of course, it’s hard to talk to Lane and not address the issue of her being a woman in a man’s world. The soccer media, both here and abroad, is famously a boys club of the highest order, and it has hindered her ability to gain credibility with American soccer fans. It’s a battle for respect.

“I have a great role model when it comes to women in business,” she said. “My mother is a remarkable businesswoman who has really developed a name for herself in commercial real estate. She has come across sexism, and I’ve seen her get frustrated. But this has never stopped her and there was never a question if this would stop her.”

So her headstrong interior is prepared to deal with the daily struggles for respect. But there is another aspect to Lane that can seem to get in the way: her looks. Dark-skinned with big, sharp eyes and long black hair, she has a smooth, casual beauty that is equal parts Native American and SoCal.

“Some of the criticism has been that I’m hot, but that I don’t know what I’m talking about,” she said. “That has started to change and people are recognizing that I do know what I’m talking about and that they want to know what I have to say. I’m not just something to look at. I’m a former player and I love the game.”

A few facts about Temryss Lane:

FAVORITE SOCCER MEMORABILIA: My Arizona State jersey. That was definitely a highlight. The USA select team stuff as well. That was a dream come true.

SOCIAL MEDIA: At first I didn’t have my own fanpage. I felt kind of vain creating one. But Landon Donovan told me “you’re a public figure now, embrace it.” So I did. Staying in touch with viewers and fans is important and I think Twitter (twitter.com/temryss) and Facebook are incredibly powerful mediums.

RELATIONSHIPS: I’m currently single. I’m open to being in a relationship. It just needs to be with the right person.

OTHER JOB OPPORTUNITIES: Yes, and I’m really excited about them. I worked on a national Chevrolet commercial, which ties into the modeling career. That has to do with soccer so I’m excited for that. I did an Adidas commercial with Heather O’Reilly. I’m on the back of Tropicana packaging, which is in stores now. I went to Vancouver for the launch of a bar called Red Card. Clothing companies are contacting me about opportunities. There is a lot going on which I’m excited about.

WORLD CUP PLANS: Nick has been trying to get me down to South Africa. There are talks of a show I could be hosting. I hope that I’ll be somewhere doing something for it. We’ll see.

JumpSnap approached SLU Consulting interesting in hiring a recognizable fitness celebrity for an upcoming fitness show. Despite operating with a tight budget and timeline, we secured celebrity trainer Kim Lyons (from NBC’s The Biggest Loser).

SLU helps Boost Mobile “Shuffle” into Super Bowl

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 19:48:09 +0000

On the 25^th anniversary of the 1985 Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl Shuffle, Boost Mobile decided to hire the original dancing and singing stars for a nostalgic remake of the iconic music video. Sports Unlimited was hired to help coordinate the participation of the 8 NFL stars featured in the remake.

While every celebrity oriented project poses unique challenges, the scale and profile of the Super Bowl Shuffle was particularly ominous. With less than a month to work with, SLU Consulting was tasked with proposing, contracting, and coordinating the flight/shoot schedules for the 8 (large) NFL personalities. Despite dancing and singing prowess that remains as underwhelming as it was in ‘80’s, the 2010 version was successfully executed with the same trademark moves and bad rapping that made the original so popular. The 30-second parody aired during the 1^st quarter of the Super Bowl.

Hips Don’t Lie: Athletic Wear for Real Women

I don’t know if I’m an apple or a pear. Bananas are nice, but I doubt I’m one of those either. I just don’t like comparing my body to a fruit basket. But I do know this: I have hips…and thighs. And good lord, yes, a butt.

I consider myself active and have a (fairly) healthy lifestyle, but no amount of squats, crunches or sprints will ever rid me of my curves. Real woman have curves, remember? So then why was it so hard for me to find athletic wear for women that actually fits well and gives me the support I need? I was so sick of avoiding the mirrors at the gym (or worse, skipping a workout entirely) because my too snug tank top was inching up past my belly button with each squat, and my shorts were riding up my thighs with each stride on the treadmill. Do you know how hard it is to sprint when you’ve got one hand between your thighs trying to pull your shorts back to a more G-rated location? Difficult and unattractive. Exercise is supposed to make you feel better about yourself and yet, somehow, it was making me feel worse.

So, a friend of mine recommended I try the new athletic wear from ellasport, their mission is to “provide women with workout apparel that makes them look and feel amazing…because when you are comfortable and feel good about how you look, you have a much better workout!”

So I tried a few pieces and it was love at first crunch. Imagine, a line of athletic wear designed to be supportive and comfortable. Ellasport, where have you been all my life?

Here are some of my favorites:

Gramercy Racerback tank
I love it because: the hip is slightly wider than the waist and top so it stays in place and does not ride up.

Chelsea Racerback tank
It fits me because: the top has a built-in bra that provides support and gives full coverage across the chest with a wider hip just like the gramercy tank.

Power capris
It changed my life because: the fabric provides moderate compression that conceals those less-than-perfect areas and the line across the back makes your butt look half the size!

Workout skirt™
I wear it because: the skirt has compression shorts attached to give support, but with the coverage and flexibility of a skirt. Genius.
