What's the T?

With Vanessa Childs

By Ashia Ackov

My friends and I went to Skivies for Haloween . They had some pretty good performances, But when

this one chic stepped out on stage, she stole the show. Her beat was hypnotiq. She danced to a sexy

remake of a classic song. She came out dressed in black, tall, Naughty girl rock style and did her thing. I

told my friends she was the show and i'd really like to interview her for the magazine. And that my fellow

readers, is exactly what i did.

Her name is Vannesa Childs, She is a stunning androgynous performer here in Topeka Kansas.

She has been modeling on and of since she was 17 but just recently taken effect to it and has been more

consistent this year. Vannesa has worked with a world renowned photographer who had even done work

for New york Fashion Week. " She is responsible for assisting me in getting started as an androgynous

model. " Says Childs.

By the way, her first time in front of the camera, the photographer told her she was a natural. Yes, Yes she

is.

When asked what inspires her and her style Vannesa said "My work is just a conglomerate of my

own thoughts and feelings & the thoughts and feelings of others. Fashion , Art, Dance, Film... Any of the

arts really." For such a vibrant spirit as she is , When we dug deep and asked her "What's the Tea" She said

she struggles with self confidence everyday. "We all have standards and expectations of ourselves, the

trick is not being too tough of a critic. " Says Vanessa.

I totally agree. But honey, you are freakin' awesome.

If you have not yet seen Ms. Childs Perform, i suggest you do. You won't be sorry. To catch her

schedule and next live show or event, it is best to give her fan page the thumbs up and stay tuned. "If

your not in love with what you do, then why do it? For me it was a decision that i made. I chose to see out

my passions." -Vannesa Childs

Make way for Mackenzie

Story by Phantom

Mackenzie Thomas is a 16 year old model from Topeka Kansas. She is a

newbie in the modeling world. She has done a few photo shoots and

worked with a local photographer and is now modeling for Mismatched

Misfitz Boutique full time.

But unlike a majority of young girls her age, she wants you to know she

is more than just a gorgeous face. Mac is a CNA Studying at Washburn

tech. She is also a Junior at Seaman high school Where she has taken

an interest in playing the violin and crochet work.

Little does she know Crochet is huge in the fashion industry, in high

demand and very profitable so right there alone, she could pursue a

career in Fashion Design. However, Mackenzie is a loving and caring

spirit who puts herself before others. That is why she chose a path in

the medical field.

"I love modeling, but it is only a side job. I'd need a reliable source of

income in the future to take care of my family when i am an adult."

However she says she enjoys modeling and is always open to new ideas.

Mackenzie has been modeling for about 6 months and says she has

always enjoyed dressing up and taking pictures, but her first time in

front of the camera she was so exicted that her stomach was queasy.

Although now she says she is used to it and it comes naturally to her.

Well we certainitly believe that whatever this young lady sets her

mind to she can accomplish. She has her prioreties in check and she is a

rising star in the fashion world. Whether behind the scenes or in

front of the camera.
