beginning of December we introduced you to Michelle Johnson from Dallas, Texas, United States, who is going to have a photoshoot with Tim Bear. Tim is director of photography for Streetfashion MagZZine and also for Texas based model agency Modelemi LLC, that will run Streetfashion MagZZine's Academy. In preparation for this photo session Michelle is now training herself the last weeks and sent us an update on her progress directly before Christmas, so about 3 weeks after she started.

You probably have seen her already on our cover in October this year, covered by her football helmet. We like to show you more of young, up and coming model Heather aka Violet Rose. So we set up a blog especially for her to join her way into the modeling buisness.

"Hi the name's Heather "Violet". I am 13 and in the 8th grade. I am a teen model and (it may be hard to believe) a football player. I've played for my school for two years as a safety. Yet, I do things like any other teenage girl like going to school ,doing chores, hanging out with friends .I just get the best of both worlds I get to be rough and a tomboy. Then a girly girl that gets to pose and be the other half of who I am behind camera. However, you probably think everything is perfect. Well ... I also go though all the struggles of a teen as well like crushes, mean girls, and fake friends. I have gone through a lot to be were I am now. You just have to keep your head up don't lose sight of what you want and NEVER GIVE UP .

And here is the first photo, Michelle took of herself to document her journey to the photoshoot.
