No one clapped for me tonight..Leading Designers..Moving Forward..NYC,Paris,London Here I come.Video Shoot. .

what a really Great & Entertaining Fashiion Show tonight @ Dusable Museum.when it was over I was posed(asked) the question.."vaughnj did anyone clap for you when you kat walked tonight"..
Here was my Answer.No.
However I further replied "I clapped for Myself:
1. when I was allowed to Wake Up this morning.
2. I clapped for Myself when I got the call from a participating Designer and asked if I could walk in the show to Rep their Male Line.
3. I clapped for Myself when I found out I not was NOT the only Male Model in the Entire show but that I was the only Male Model brought in to Rep my Designer's Male Line.
All in all Idon't wan this to be misunderstood..You don't need anyone else's approval to Validate you or where you goingas long as you know and put it into actio. People miss the boat all the time but that doesn't stop the schedule from continuing forward and next bus from coming. Clapped because tonight not only did I make Myself Proud but the Designer was throughly Pleased/Satisfied.(Meaning) That i'm one step closer to reaching My Goals. Having an A+ Model Reputation, Being the Face behind a New Leading Designer's Menswear Line, and moving forward towards N.Y.C, London, Milon, Paris and Toyko.. To the Top!
 Now that's something worth clapping for;-)
Thank you Carmen Calisle,Michael CEO Jordon wonderful job tonight!

I work on All levels from Every day short term to High End Editorial long term contract .When timing allows I also do TF,TCD projects and montary is always welcomed. I'm Chicago,IL based but will travel when needed, I am Freelance/Independent contractor so I'm not tied down with a contract however when applying for my services there is a contract/agreement signed before hand w/ deposit made pending services. When I come arcoss Collaberation that I think other Artists would enjoy and benefit from I post them and put out casting Calls however I will not Beg or hound you to join or be Involved Ever. Whether TF, TCD, or Montary. If you are interested and have the available time and means you will put in the needed Efforts, Energy and Follow through. Being as Professional as I or you would expect in return..*Remember Time is Money! I also advertise, post notices about Events I'm in as a Model or Performer,or Director so others (Artists, Supportors) are Aware, have the opportunity to Support either in attendence or simply helping with ticket sells, 1 hand washes another and so it goes. (I work well with others as long as your professional,I also Have a team or Models,Muas, etc..When needed) I also give/have referrals from/for Artists. If you don't know me now you do. So say hello you never know what can come out of networking/collaborating, that's often how I come across a New Job/Asssignment. I'm Direct, Honest, Professional, and I expect the same but above all I'm an down to earth Artist making Moves..This is My Life and I approach it with the same Passion and Desire EVERYDAY...EVERY Assignment.

Upcoming Events/Eva Pigford, New Respect, Excuses leave them behind, Having a Plan,Using Tenacity, and loving Me som Vaughnj .

Morning closer to a weekend and I can't wait,so many fun things(Fashion show rehearsals,Music Video filming,Birthday Celebrations).I Had the pleasure to have my son join me on set at work for a "Double take" Love My instructors @ SAIC and let's say he has a new respect for live illustration/mannequin models;-)lol. tickets are also available for his Fashion show "The Puppet Show" july 23, 15.00,don't forget I have tickets for my Fashion show "Fuze It Worldwide"June 25, 25.00..also get your tickets for "FASHION LOVES MUSIC" July 1,20-65.00 w/ Eva Pigford,Derwin Davis..(another show i may be Modeling in keep you posted)..

Come on Chi town Don't ask for "FRESH" Events and when they Arrive and Present opportunity...whether to show your support or be a personal part of it you find an excuse not to be there.Yes times are abit tough but you can always make a way to do other things and i'll leave it at that,get on board,leave the excuses behind. People say "man I always see you here or there" people/other artists say this as if they're surprised. Some gigs pay monetary and some don't but the truth is if I don't get out here and show you and these Directors,Designers,Promoters,Clients how hungry I am and how Badd/Passionate I am at what I do. How else you going to know about The Chameleon as a Model,Designer,Actor,Dancer or Wardrobe Stylist,Runway Coach/Director.How else will I make it to the TOP if not by making continued efforts and using my OWN initiative.I know every project and casting call may not be for me, my look and I also know I may  not get every job however I also knew when I joined this industry that in order to make it size wouldn't always be a factor. I had to have and prove I had the Passion, Drive, and Tenacity to want this,to survive, and if I was to ever succeed in this industry I needed to Bring it! and I Have. You can talk about my style,mohawk & color changes, and stats if you want but watch me Work, watch me continue to Rise. During lunch I stopped into my old job today Macy's to say hello to some real friends (you know who you are)and catch up and ran into some fakers and they looked at me in surprise to see how Truly Happy and settled I was to still be living,moving forward, and doing what I Love since leaving Macy's but thats ok. I had a plan and Macy's wasn't a permanent part of it, I knew that when I went back into retail and i'll go back into retail again if the plan calls for it, no shame here it works.I Love Me som Vaughnj and Vaughnj loves ALL those that continue to support and bless me with opportunities to showcase my passion.
Til the next time

Blessings/Bookings... The Angel Walk2011..Bricks Laying to Build a Nation

Only just begun the month of May and i'm already Booked and Booking June!!. I Tell you when you Do Good things and Put Out Positive energy it Comes Back 20fold..It's not being Cocky it's being Confident and about being Respectful and True to Yourself and Others, also Not lessoning who you are as a Person/Artist and what you hold Dear & Passinate. I speak into being what I Need/Want and then I Go For it because it Never hurts to Ask or Try however actions speak louder then words.

Some have asked how did I get involved with the "The Angel Walk 2011" and what do I expect in return. Well I went into this show a meger,humble/new Wardrobe Stylist who was available to lend a hand if they needed one to help.Always willing to help a worthy cause these one involving(children) being a single parent I know how it is to want the best for a child to have opportunity to encourage a child.If by giving something or lending some clothes or what services I could offer was all that was needed to see someone smile why not. Now I'm Co Director/Coordinator and by building and having a good industry reputation,dedication i've been able to ask,reach out to other fellow Artists,Designers,Models.MUA's,Stylists,Public Officials and put together A Very Incredible Show..Now making it's 1st debut and will lead and open the door to an Annual Event called "The Angel Walk"..Holy Angels Boys & Girls Club Fundraiser. How Magical is that and to see the smiles on these kids,young adults, and Future Artists faces and the moral boost is INCREDIBLE for these kids to see that someone cares about me and wants to see me succeed I cant out into words the return investment has been for me. I know they will take this opportunity and somewhere later in life use it to reflect on..We don't have funding for a buget so there none but I tell you this is going to be 1 Awesome Event night you will NEVER Forget and will walk away with your Hearts filled with Excitement and Enticipation for Next years. Angel walk2012 show!

When I was younger we had Not Only Parents but Neighbors,Clubs,Schools to help build the foundation and guide us as children and young adults to make better decisions,have options, smarter choices and have self esteem and confidence to go and live out Dream. Well for  some reason over time that has started to lapse and disappear, we must reclaim those days ,reinvest, and  show our children what it means to have proper guidance and postive influences at a young,mid youth/adult age. It still takes a Nation to raise a Child and although my own children are making their own decisions in life i'm still here to guide and lay bricks not just in them but future generations to come. Dont just Talk.Do.
