Martha Urena


Our newest teen fashion model and cover girl this month is Martha Urena of Pharr, Texas. Martha is the 14 year old daughter of Dr. Pilar Reyes Urena and is sister to two brothers, Javoer, nine and Jesus, seventeen.

In spite of her youth, Martha exhibits the skills and talent of a mature fashion model. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that she is a member of a district champ track team. (Martha competes in the 400 relay, the 300 yard hurdles and the 100 yard hurdles) nor that Martha holds several titles in UIL drama com-petition while on the AB Honor Roll at school. Liberty Middle School.

Martha sets a good example for other teens by spending a lot of time giv-ing back to her community. Her most passionate community work involves helping children with special needs since she has a family member who has down’s syndrome.

Now, you can’t tell by the pictures but, Mar-tha loves to bake and experiment while mak-ing special culinary creations from scratch. However, Martha’s two favorite hobbies are fashion modeling and shopping for clothes. How convenient!

Martha made wardrobe selections from WAREHOUSE 503 with the assistance of stylist Stephanie Hernandez. Her hair and makeup were done by Dina Baez. The photoshoot was on location at the Club at Cimarron and at Florian Coffee Shop in Sharyland. WAREHOUSE 503

“The people are the city”

About RegenPlasma™

The internal essence of the blood inside you contains life-giving fundamental protein growth factors that are designed to restore and strengthen your body. RegenPlasma™, a leading edge patented technology, harnesses a high concentration of your own biological nutrient-rich cells and unleashes them to naturally promote skin health by stimulating a rebuilding of the underlying structural integrity of your skin, With a simple, quick and advantageous RegenLab™ process, your own b blood is safely prepared on the physician's premises and is delivered to your skin within the same treatment session.

How does RegenPlasma™ work?

RegenPlasma™ is a regenerative medicine and works best aesthetically when it is introduced into the skin. Your own concentration of cells will then work with your body to naturally promote a "structure and signals" process for new tissue and collagen growth.

When will I see results?

After the treatment patients often notice fine lines and wrinkles have softened and deeper wrinkled areas, such as nasilabial-folds, may look more plump and smoother. However, according to studies, the main goal of a RegenPlasma™'" treatment is to stimulate flberblast and develop long-term collagen formations in the dermis. Any plumping in the treated areas with RegenPlasma™ may slowly be absorbed into the dermis creating a platform for stronger skin and a more healthy appearance.Overall, results are gradual and will vary from person to person based on health, age and genetic make-up. Mast patients enjoy quantifiable improvements in skin complexion, texture and tone usually within three weeks. Subtle improvements can progressively continue for up to a year.

What areas can be treated with RegenPlasma™?

RegenPlasma™ is derived from your own biological make-up and does not contain synthetic products, therefore, virtually any area of the body can be treated such as: face, neck, chest, hands, scars, etc.

How many treatments will I need?

The basic strategy for a RegenPlasma™ program can range from one to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Yet, once you discuss the primary priorities of your skin needs with your physician, the number of treatments could vary.

Are there any side effects?

Because all constitutes retrieved in RegenPlasma™ are exclusively from you (autologous in origin), there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or intolerance. Nevertheless, before the treatment you need to disclose all the medications you are taking (including herbs) with your doctor.

How will I take care of my skin after the treatment?

In order to enjoy a maximum response to your RegenPlasma™ treatment you should eat right, drink lots of water and incorporate the recommended facial care by your physician.

Contempo Magazine-Tell us about your experi-ence with the Latin America cereal box cam-paign?

Cindy Vela-I was contacted to work with Ximena Valero and her red dress campaign for Kellogg's but had no idea of how large the campaign was to be. Weeks after the photos were shot, I was no-tified as to the enormity of the campaign and was then shown a prototype of the box. I was extremely excited but could not make any announcements or statements until after it's Latin American release.

Contempo Magazine-recent modeling projects? For Who? What was the experience like?

Cindy Vela-A wonderful shoot I worked on was the world wide campaign for O.P.I.'s Pirates of the Caribbean nail polish collection. I wore an amaz-

ing prosthetic mermaid tail and worked with fash-ion photographer Sean Armenta. I had so much fun on set and the outcome was a bonus. From magazines to salons, I was grateful to see the work I helped create being displayed.

My recent BioIonic campaign was a creative pro-cess. What I love about photoshoots is the collab-orative effort of everyone involved. The talents of the makeup artists, hair stylists and photographer came together with the ideas of BioIonic's creator Fernando Romero and his team to develop the im-age they wanted for their brand. It was truly amaz-ing to see everyone at work.

Contempo Magazine-recent film/TV exposures?

Cindy Vela-Since I last spoke to Contempo, I was in a Youtube short film called Exhibit B-5 also known

as “girl dies”. I worked with director Kyle Rankin (The Battle of Shaker Heights, Project Greenlight, In-festation) and actors Corin Nemec and Mircea Monroe. I was floored by the tremendous response it received! My interviews for MSNBC and shows from other countries helped me understand the video's global reach. Kyle and I are already look-ing towards our next project that we will be filming later this fall.

Soon I will be appearing in two films, the comedy "Polterguys" and the sci-fi film "Nuclear Family" both due out later this year.

Contempo Magazine-What advice do you have for young aspiring models from the Valley?

Cindy Vela-Hang in there!

After a series of leads in acclaimed short films and a suc-cessful national modeling career, Valley native, Cindy Vela (Contempo Covergirl-June 2010) is poised for impact. Contempo chats with Cindy about her more recent ad campaigns and about her upcoming roles in future films.

To capture and hold a reader ’s eye is the up-most objective of any successful fashion ad, and it is often the model who holds the cards that enable a campaign to achieve it. One Central Texas fashion model, Lauren Calaway, has that special charisma and impact power that is so sought after.

Lauren was raised in Wimberley, Texas, locat-ed 28 miles southwest of Austin. (a small town where every still knows each other ’s entire fam-ily! “It wasn't long into my college career that I decided to pursue modeling full time. I took a leap, and became the rebel of the family and moved out of state. Over the years, I have lived in Charleston, Saratoga Springs, New York, and now Los Angeles, and would love to work abroad.” says Lauren, adding, “Model-ing has taken me into other art forms such as acting, music, and photo retouching.”

When I first started in this industry, I used to love to be behind the camera. I would do makeup/hair and wardrobe styling. Then I started to wonder what it ’s like on the other side of the camera. So, I began contacting local photographers to help me build a portfolio and learn how to model. Most people would tell me the same thing, "You can't be a model-you are too short." However, I had already fallen in love with modeling and I was de-termined.

Eventually, I made my way to Los Angeles. Over and over again I was rejected by agencies. They say,"If you were 5'8'' you would be a super model." Well, that was not going to happen. Eventually, I joined an agency and started to book bigger jobs. But even then, someone would tell me that I was too shortfor modeling. Well, since then, I have been agency repre-sented and have worked major cam-paigns. Just Saying..

I strongly believe that if you have drive and determination, you can do anything. You have to believe in yourself before someone else will believe in you, that’s for sure!

SINGER-SONG-WRITER JEREMIAHJAY RECORDSSECOND MUSIC VIDEOby Ralph Magañaphoto by Omar Bugarin

Back in February of this year, a young and talented musician/songwriter from Donna, Texas launched his music career with the new original re-lease of “Any Flow”, a youth inspiring hip-hop tune that got aired on local and regional radio sta-tions (See-Valley Rap Hits New Swing with Jeremiah Jay’s Any Flow-Contempo Magazine, Feb. 2012). Since then, Any Flow and Jeremiah have attracted some heavy attention in Texas and L.A., California.

On August 7th, Jeremiah produced his second music video titled, “Eyes on Me” at the Old Pub-lic Works building on Bridge Ave. in Weslaco. The song is an “upbeat rap song on the aspect of reading the crowd.”

Contempo chats with Jeremiah after the filming of the music video..What inspires you to write and perform your mu-sic?Music has always been a passion of mine , & getting on stage and performing or in front of a microphone & recording is just an amazing thing/feeling for me.

How did your summer go since we last spoke with you?My summer has been amazing packed with perfor-mances all over Texas , Houston , Dallas , etc.. .

How many views on youtube did you receive on Any Flow?The views on Any Flow are about to reach 28,000 so I’m very proud of that.

What events do you have coming up this fall? I have an event this Sunday, the 12th, opening up for Kirko Bangz & Kid Ink at the Pharr Convention Center (tickets available at www.ticketmaster.com) , & a performance at the McAllen Alley Art Event

In the modeling industry there has always been a conflict between keeping a body image appropriate for agency's demands and having a healthy diet. Contrary to the critics who claim being thin is unhealthy, only in extreme cases are thin body's a sign of poor health. Having a lean body is much healthier than being overweight. However, too many models have no guidance to keeping a healthy lean body and end up using methods that are detrimental to their health.

Contempo-Why are there so many different approaches to controlling weight?

Dr. Stinson-The most common reason is a lack of under-standing the science. People will lose weight in the short term using any method because they stop the habits during the "diet" that created the weight gain.

Contempo-Why is it important for young people to diet properly? Consequences?Dr. Stinson-The effects of obesity in children and adoles-cents has led to the early onset of diabetes. Their life ex-pectancy will be at least 20 years less than the current average. It has been reported that the health of American children is the lowest since the 1960's. We are at risk of losing a generation. Contempo-What can happen if proper dieting is not fol-lowed?Dr. Stinson-The two biggest problems are obesity and dia-betes. Sedentary behavior is also a consequence of im-proper eating patterns. Contempo-What is Bulimia? How does it affect women?Dr. Stinson-Bulimia is an eating disorder where the individual will have high caloric binging (from 3,500 to even 50,000 calories per binge) once or twice a day followed by in-duced vomiting and the intake of laxatives. It is associated with mental illness, most commonly, major depression. It can have a mortality rate over 5%, usually from suicide.

Contempo-Can one loose too much weight?Dr. Stinson-Yes, but it is usually from anorexia nerviosa and bulimia. Dieting under most programs has not shown to be a problem.

Contempo-What is Anorexia Nerviosa?Dr. Stinson-It is a eating disorder that is characterised by an excessive restriction of food, and typically, a fear of gaining weight, often seen in the modeling world.

Contempo-Sometimes it seems like gimmicks have con-sumed the weight control business. What’s going on?Dr. Stinson-t's all about people taking advantage of a crisis to make money. Historically, physicians are reluctant to use marketing. If you have enough money, a marketing com-pany, and no ethics; you're in business to sell anything to the public.

Contempo-Explain your approach to proper weight control? How does it differ from the other methods?Dr. Stinson-It's based on teaching people the cause of obesity, the true facts about food, and the proper exercise regimens for fat burning. I have patients lower the hormone ghrelin by teaching them to change their eating patterns. None of the top diet plans do this, which is why those plans have a 90% failure rate after 2 years.

Contempo-How do ghrelin play a roll in producing body fat? Is the research solid on this?Dr. Stinson-The research is solid and new. It was only 12 years ago the hormone was discovered and only for 8 years have we learned it's effects on obesity. Basically ghrelin is the main hormone for the body to increase body fat and preserve energy when the body perceives a short-age of food supply.

Contempo-What’s the downside of not getting weight under control?Dr. Stinson-Obesity leads to early onset diabetes, hyper-tension, weak immune system, and sleep apnea. This means heart attacks, brain strokes, cancer, blindness, kidney failure, and serious infections. All of which decades younger than in the normal weight population.

Contempo Magazine-Tell us about your clinical ob-servations and findings on patients you have tried the program on?Dr. Stinson-By the first week there is less sedentary behavior. People have more energy. By the second week people are losing 1 to 2 inches of belly fat along with 5 to 10 pounds of weight loss. Diabetics' glucose levels drop and have to decrease their medications after 2 weeks. Some of those using insulin had to stop injecting themselves. After 4 weeks the weight loss is up to 20 pounds a month. Several patients have diabetes reversed completely.

Contempo-What about long term weight control? That always seems to be the big issue?Dr. Stinson-This is the biggest difference of my program. People maintain control of their weight for the long term.

Contempo-How can people learn more about your pro-gram?Dr. Stinson-To enroll in my program call 956-537-9317 or email [email protected]

Ghrelin, a hormone that acts like a traffic cop, can divert the energy of our diets in vari-ous directions, particularly fat production. Quit simply, how and when it does this can be controlled by the quantity and frequency of meals.

Please check directly with the individual airlines with which you would like to travel for up-to-date information on their specific POC policies.

Oxygen with no BoundariesWhen you were initially diagnosed with having a need for oxygen therapy (perhaps your physician called it chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] or another ailment), it may have been hard to imagine at the time that you would ever live life to the fullest again. But through the use of the unique FreeStyle™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator by AirSep®, you truly can experience oxygen with no boundaries!

The Only “Wearable” Oxygen ConcentratorFreeStyle is the world’s lightest, most compact, and only “wearable” portable oxygen concentrator (POC) available. A POC makes its own oxygen, as needed, everywhere you go. And because the portable oxygen concentrator enables you to be free of the need for oxygen refills and deliveries, you are never limited to where you go or how far you venture.
