Hi! I'm Alena Dawn and I've been working in the fashion and entertainment industry for over 10 years. I've done everything from print and runway modeling to wardrobe styling, design, make-up artistry, costuming, acting, stunts, and event production. I have a Theater degree from Seattle Pacific University where I studied costume design. I understand what it's like to be in front of the camera and what goes on behind it. I also know how life in and outside of the industry can be challenging to ones self confidence. Keeping our style, skin and attitude fresh is not always as easy as we wish it was. I often find myself giving my friends advice about relationships and how to present themselves to others appropriately. Your image is not only about how you dress. It's reflected in what you say and how you act. These things are especially important in the entertainment industry. Fresh style, confidence and a great attitude really do go a long way. When you book that job, you know you have done something right when they keep calling you back for future projects. I credit the success I have had to always being professional and staying positive. Are you seeking advice on what to wear on that date or to that event? Need tips on beauty products? We all have issues with confidence and sometime just need some reassurance or someone to pep up our style and mood a little bit. I love helping people reach to their full potential. Feel free to ask me questions regarding fashion, modeling, image and styling. I will posting my picks for products and clothing up here as well as questions and answers from readers. Now get out there eyes wide and LOOK ALIVE!
