Janice Dickinson Model Agency Show, episode 1

I just watched the show and I'm thrilled how the first episode turned out. I was able to watch the show on YOU TUBE, because I'm currently in Africa on my Honeymoon. If you have not seen it, go to YOUTUBE.com and search : The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency S4E1P4



I must say it was fun to see how they edited my conversations and my confessionals. The Nicolita casting was in the forth "act" of the show. I had no idea what to expect Janice or the casting to be like. I definitely wanted to get the most out of this experience and out of the photo shoot for our 2009 Collection. I brought with me to the casting my photographer, John Ganun . John is an incredible photographer and has a great eye for detail. It was nice to have a second opinion to select Nicolita. In the casting, John and I choose Paulina, Traci, and CC to test shoot for NICOLITA. It was difficult to pick just one model and hope she would be great. Each girl had something different to offer as the face of NICOLITA. Once the models were made up in their NICOLITA hair and make up, then I was able to decide who was going to be the next NICOLITA model.
In our 2009 Collection, Nicolita travels to Italy and , ofcourse, has an Italian love interest. We picked Chandler to be Nicolita's Italian love interest. He did an amazing job considering this was his first job of the show. Can't wait to see episode 2 where they show the Nicolita photo shoot in action.

Besitos,

Nicole

My perfect wedding dress....Swimwear designer goes Bridal, A Custom Wedding Dress by Nicolita

When I got engaged in May 2007, I had a list of priorities I needed to accomplish first before beginning able to plan the rest of my wedding.

1st - finding the perfect venue
2nd - finding a church near by that we could be married at after 4pm.
3rd - finding the perfect dress.

Since I am in the swim wear/apparel manufacturing industry, the thought had crossed my mind to design my own dress. However, I understand how much work is involved in developing a new swim wear pattern, let alone a wedding gown. I decided to check out what the prof
essionals had to offer and I searched online wedding gowns. After my searches, I had an idea of which styles I wanted to try on. I traveled to many bridal boutique and tried on numerous wedding dresses. There were many beautiful gowns but either the price was too expensive or the price was right but there were too many alterations I wanted to make.

So after I realized I might not be able to buy my dress 'off the showroom' floor, I started to cost out how much designing and making my dress would be. I found a professional seamstress and contacted silk and lace distributors in Los Angeles and New York. (Searching the internet for fabric is another great source.)

About my design.
I knew I wanted a mermaid style, low v- back, Chantilly Laced edges, Barathea Silk, cover buttons and sleeves/straps. I also knew I wanted a fun party short dress as well. Originally I was going to make two dresses, but after working with the pattern, I was able to add a ZIPPER and have my wedding gown coverted into a mini cocktail dress. 2 FOR 1....It was one of the HITS at my wedding.
My photographer, Jasmine Star did an amazing job capturing the details on my dress.

The photos below give you an idea of how and where I added the zipper and how to put on the dress



















I first put on the mini dress, then I stepped into the skirt and zipped the two pieces onto each other. I had to use two zippers because it was difficult to find an accurate sized zipper that would work for my measurements.


The zipper was hidden by the scalped lace edge.

I only told a my mother and bridesmaids about the zipper on the dress because I wanted the reveal to be a surprise for guests. After dinner and the bouquet toss, it was time for my Groom to take off my garter and toss it. I decided at this time I wanted my groom to take off the zipper first and then take off my garter. The reactions from my guests were great. Everyone started to shout out and some people event thought he ripped my dress. It was one of my favorite moments of my wedding.



The unveiling......







































This photo was taken at the end of the night. After dinner, all of the tables and chairs were cleared out and a candle lite walkway lead the guest back to the valet. It was a magical night and my dream wedding come true.

Show air time and dates

Nicolita will be featured in the primere show of JDMA on August 26th on Oxygen Network and September 2nd. We are very excited to see the drama and photo shoot reveal itself on the show. TUNE IN!!!

New Season, New House

I'm really not sure about how much I can say about the upcoming season of the JDMA show, but the previews say the Janice is "moving in". And this is confirmed. Janice moved into the "model house'. The house, I mean mansion, is a gorgeous modern house in Bel Air. The entrance of the house is shaped like an igloo. And randomly there is a motorcycle in the entrance water fountain. The mansion is just as wild as the show. Obviously having all the models living together just creates more drama that we all love to watch. Especially having Janice living in the mansion as well. One can only imagine what will happen.

When I came in for the model casting, the casting was held at the house where her 'agency office' is. It was really cool how the office and the house blended together. Very neat, clean, and white modern interior design. I remember walking around the house and seeing a jacuzzi room with fur carpet all over the walls and ceiling. When I got to meet the models, Janice sat right next to me on her white leather sofa. It was fun and the models were great.

Muscular Development Magazine Photo Shoot

This was a great photo shoot. The models wore Nicolita's Rosita lace bottoms in Rose, and cream color. They looked amazing and heated up the set. This magazine is currently being sold so check it out!!
