“I was so excited to win this contest because I never thought I would win. In my country every little girl’s dream is to be a model (or Miss Universe) but they are extremely strict when it comes to height and proportions (even worse than in the U.S). In the modeling world where 5′6 is considered “petite, being 5′2 is completely out of the question.” says Backstage Miami Style Studio’s ‘Model Behavior’ winner Daniella Ramirez.

In June, Backstage Miami Style Studio set out to find a beginning model in South Florida with their “Model Behavior’ contest.The lucky winner received a photo shoot; with hair, makeup and wardrobe, a consultation with LaShawnna Stanley of Ethnicity Models, a Total Tote modeling kit from DunStr and a feature on FASHIFY.com.

21 year old, Daniella Ramirez, a native of Venezuela moved to Miami four years ago to study Marketing at Florida International University, in which she recently obtained a degree. Standing 5′2 tall, the former gymnasist and ballet dancer has wanted to begin a career in modeling but has always been hesitant due to her height. Now after having won, she feels the confidence to take the steps forward for print and commercial modeling.

Ramirez, blogs daily on her popular Spanish blog, ‘Fab, Chic and Fit’ (www.fabchicandfit.com). There she is able to write about trends and give style advice. Daniella also loves sushi, going to the beach and watching movie on rainy days. She is addicted to to shoes and summer dresses and is a self proclaimed expert on the drums in RockBand.

MIAMI – July 9, 2010 — Rachel Lym will launch her latest swimwear collection at SwimShow 2011 to be held July 17 – 20 at the Miami Beach Convention Center to anxiously awaiting clients and collectors.

The collection is where modern art aligns with sophistication, adorning women stylishly with each design created to flatter and compliment the woman’s body. Hard cup tops support and enhance the bustline, while the bottoms are carefully crafted to accentuate the woman’s curves, with moderate coverage.

The mix and match collection is inspired by pop art and includes reversible styles for 100 different ways to wear the collection. “Customization is a very important component in fashion,” said Rachel. “It’s great to have a piece that you can wear over and over and it looks like a different swimsuit each time.”

Rachel Lym launched her eponymous line in 2006 with customized pieces for each of her clients. 
A graduate of The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, she received necessary skills to make her masterpieces come alive through luxurious imported lycra from Spain and Italy. Rachel hand selects all materials to ensure the finest quality for each piece.

What was unusual about Lebron James’s twitter profile is that it has been growing steadily at 1000+ twitter fans per minute. We are assuming that most these fans are coming from Mashable.com daily traffic, so there’s a chance that the rate of growth will increase as the day progresses, and more people find out that Lebron James is on twitter, and look forward to what his announcement regard which team he will play basketball for this upcoming NBA season.

Leave your comments if you think that Lebron will surpass Kim Kardashian and Ashton Kutcher, and Justin Bieber, and when you predict he will pass each of these other twitter celebrities.

Where are you originally from? Your nationality?

I’m originally from Bangkok, Thailand.

What prompted your interests in becoming a model?

My husband thought i was a dummy for not modeling so i gave it a try and I’m having lots of fun doing it. I feel that i can be expressive and create some beautiful images.

What regions of the world to you do the majority of your fashion modeling work?

My fashion modeling works mainly have been created in Miami, although the photographers i had been working with were from many countries.

Have you done other types of modeling? Runway? Catalog? Parts?

I had a few casting jobs on a television show in United States and I was a promotional model for events in Thailand.

If you’ve done some mainstream fashion / advertising campaigns, which one did you have the most fun working on?

I’ve only had the opportunity in Thailand but I haven’t had the chance to do any in the United States as of yet but hopefully soon.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

I enjoy the energy in front of the camera. Every time I have a photo shoot I always learn something new. I love when I see that smile from the photographer that says we got it!

What do you dislike the most?

This may sound funny, but I really dislike it when I run out of my wardrobe! Also, when there is no music playing at the shoot.

If you had to describe yourself as model in three words, which words would you choose? Why?

Determined, sophisticated and grateful. Determined to put all of my energy and creativity towards each particular shoot to achieve the best results possible. I try to achieve a sophisticated look so that people get the right idea of who i am plus I also try to add a little of my fun personality in there. Finally I’m grateful for every opportunity and believe that everything happens for a reason, so I always try my best. I also respect the photographer’s time and appreciate the chance to shoot.

Remind our readers how you came to learn about FASHIFY?

I found out about it through a very talented and creative photographer named Aristotle. As you can see from the photos. D

If you could have a superpower, or combination of many superpowers, which power(s) would you choose?

I wish I had the love and peace super touch power. Where i could touch any angry person and change they’re mind from angry to super happy and relaxed.

What are some of your future goals or ambitions?

My main goal is to definitely get a master degree MBA. I have new goals every 2 or 3 years, once I have achieved the targeted goal. What ever I do I always make sure that I don’t lose track of the goals I have aimed for.

Your favorite photographer? What’s his/her link? Why?

I have 2 favorite photographers. The first one is Aristotle, http://www.modelmayhem.com/1297599. He has his own style that I notice straightway and i love his use of natural lighting. His work is edgy, soft, strong, and sexy at the same time. I feel like we can create awesome photos any time we shoot. The second photographer is Lyall Aston, http://www.lyallastonphoto.com/. He can communicate with models very well. His work is just amazing. He brings the best out of any model.

Your favorite high-fashion model? What’s his/her link? Why?

Of course Kate Moss, she is THE model. Her poses always seem natural. She makes magazines look alive. I just love her gorgeous look.

Name an up-an-coming model who has potential, progress, or development that excites you?

Honestly, I don’t really have an up-an-coming model that excites me. I think every model has the potential to develop if she has the right look and attitude.

What’s your Favorite pair of shoes?

My black ankle boots from Aldo. ) They are comfy and add a little sexy look to my summer outfits.

Where can FASHIFY readers find more of your work? (URLs, Links, Galleries, etc)
