How Alcohol Affects in the world of Modeling? https://chicmags.com/how-alcohol-affects-in-the-world-of-modeling/ Wed, 19 Sep 2018 07:39:40 +0000 http://www.chicmags.com/?p=4907 To most, modeling is a glamorous career, full of opportunity and social freedom for those privileged enough to be a part of that world. To others, the world of modeling can pose dangers to a person’s mental and physical body adding pressure to stand out and be the most beautiful. While some have an easy time navigating this world without damage, others have to combat social pressures and the addiction that comes along with them.

A primary issue that alcoholism brings is dehydration. Alcohol dehydrates your entire body and the effects of this dehydration are becomes apparent in a person’s physical appearance very quickly. Dehydration removes essential nutrients the body needs to stay beautiful. As a model, you can find some ways to recover alcohol impacts on your body.

Now, Let’s See How Alcohol Affects in the world of Modeling:

1. Skin Irritation

Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Alcohol generally dehydrates your body and this dehydration process includes the skin as well. Excessive consumption of alcohol deprives your body with the vitamins and nutrients it needs to remain healthy and radiant causing afflictions like Rosacea, a skin disorder that causes the skin to appear perpetually flushed and can eventually lead to facial disfiguration after prolonged abuse.

2. Belly Bloating

Constant consumption of alcohol can lead to irritation and swelling of your gastrointestinal tract, causing constant bloating and body swelling. This may make modeling jobs difficult to maintain if you’re not able to properly fit the garments prepared for you to model. More importantly, swelling of the gastrointestinal tract can cause serious health issues in the future that go beyond any modeling job and can prove to be fatal if not corrected.

3. Speeds Aging

A part of a model’s job is maintaining a youthful appearance for as long as possible to maximize the number of jobs they are able to secure. The primary issue of alcohol causes is dehydration. Alcohol affects any mucous membrane from the pancreas and liver to the skin. Excessive alcohol drinking removes fluid from the skin, which is a vital element to maintaining the appearance of youth and provides elasticity to the skin. Those who struggle with addiction are often not aware of the effect that the dehydration factor does to the skin. Usually, signs of alcohol abuse are first seen in the skin before they’re felt in the body.

4. Brittle Hair and Nails

Similar to the skin, damage to a model’s hair and nails are other visible signs of alcohol abuse that can be seen externally. Dehydration caused by heavy alcohol consumption can also be attributed to thinning hair and brittle nails. These are important elements of the body that are put on display as a model and are often criticized when going on go-sees or auditions for modeling gigs.

To some, these issues may seem vain and obscure, but the truth is, your appearance is the final thing to be affected by alcohol abuse. Before the visible significations of alcohol abuse are noticed, there has already been damage done internally. Your organs are the first things affected by alcohol use. As models, alcohol addiction can be easy to fall into and difficult to fall out of. It’s important to keep these physical issues in mind when considering alcohol consumption. There are many ways you can fight alcohol addiction.

One of the most important aspects of losing weight and making your body look slim is to carefully choose the food that you eat. Make sure that you avoid all kinds of processed foods and focus only on healthy foods instead. Things like light but nutritious breakfast based on fruits, vegetables and oatmeal make for a great beginning of the day. Your lunch and snacks in between should focus on a diet of low carb fruits like berries and pears as well as a variety of different smoothies with vegetables in them with some lean meat like chicken of fish as the main part of the meal. Vegetables of all shapes and sizes is a perfect choice for dinner and snacks and they can be made into lovely and tasty meals with some clever salad dressings and combinations.

Focus

Victoria Secret Model 3Some of the most important parts of your body will be your lower back, hips and thighs as this is where your body balance is and this is what gives you the stability that you need. In order to really shape up these specific parts of your body you really need to focus on that, and for this you will need a variety of different exercises. Lifting low intensity weights with crunches enables you to really develop a strong muscle line on your back and lower back area without toning up too much visible muscle mass. A lot of cardio, like swimming, speed walking and running are the perfect ways to keep your body well balanced and stay slim while at the same time still developing smooth muscle lines that will allow you to have a lot of strength and stay slim at the same time.

What to Look For

It is not enough to simply say that you want to look like a model. You really need to pinpoint that goal. Check out different models that you like and try to pinpoint what is it in their physical look that you really like and then work on it. You can even contact modeling agency and ask about what sort of physical requirements they have in order to get a clear picture. Different modelling agencies Melbourne, New York or some other place have very strict standards about what you are supposed to look like and getting your body to that model level is not an easy thing to do.

Building up your body to the standard of a runway model is a not an easy thing to achieve and it will require a lot of work from you to get there. In order to really achieve the look that you want, you will have to really work on it and some of the ideas mentioned here can really help you out. Choosing your own exercises and goals, and planning out your own workout schedule is something that can really help you to get the body that you really desire.

Oscar-Worthy Glamor from Sherri Hill Dresses https://chicmags.com/oscar-worthy-glamor-from-sherri-hill-dresses/ Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:42:24 +0000 http://www.chicmags.com/?p=4062 The 87th Oscar ceremony may have been derided for Neil Patrick Harris’ hosting efforts, but the fashions didn’t disappoint.

Hollywood, with its awards, premieres and parties, has long been associated as the epitome of glamour.

Thanks to accessible fashion houses, truly red-carpet worthy gowns are readily available, in a variety of sizes, styles and colors. And what gal wouldn’t love to claim to share a dress by the same designer who’s made clothing for Bella Thorne, Selena Gomez, Arianna Grande, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Paris Hilton and Carrie Underwood?

The recently completed Hollywood “award season” is hotly anticipated by budding fashionistas everywhere. Still, the pinnacle of award shows is undoubtedly the Oscar awards, and, this year, the show – and most importantly – the red carpet fashion walk – did not disappoint.

The Highlights:

Lupita Nyong’o

Oscar Worthy Glamor

Nyong’o’s Calvin Klein dress, with 6,000 hand-sewn pearls is memorable for two significant reasons: the beautiful tailored fit and contrasting white against Nyong’o’s gorgeous skin, and, the fact that it was stolen after the 2015 award show.

Rosamund Pike

Rosamund Pike oscar 2015Only weeks after giving birth to her second son, the “Gone Girl” star went for a fitted, crimson strapless dress layered with beautiful lace, from Givenchy Haute Couture.

Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley oscar 2015The nominee and mother-to-be was this year’s best dressed, choosing a Valentino for the 87th Oscars. Knightley’s unique, sleeveless nude embroidered and embellished lace-tulle, empire-waist dress was both flattering and memorable.

Rita Ora

Rita Ora oscar 2015If there’s one color that doesn’t get enough love in the world of evening wear, it’s navy blue – easily the “new black,” and the singer wore it well, a beautifully constructed strapless Marchesa gown, replete with gold lace and front accent.

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston oscar 2015The former “Friends’” star and favorite tabloid topic has often chosen the simple, understated elegance of Atelier Versace, and the 87th annual Academy Awards was no exception. Aniston chose a strapless column dress in pale nude with subtle alternating fabric.

Scarlett Johansson

87th Annual Academy Awards“Avengers’” star Johansson, the epitome of voluptuous blonde bombshell, often dressed too maturely for her relative youth. Now, the new mom is wholly embracing a traditional silhouette, albeit with a colorful twist. At this year’s Oscars, she wore a tailored halter-style vibrant green Versace that was a show stopper in itself, but Johansson and her stylist pushed the proverbial “limits” and added a seriously sick coordinating statement necklace.

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain 2015 OscarsThe Oscar-nominee, like singer Ora, wisely chose navy blue, and wore a custom Givenchy gown that seemed to channel Mae West, as it emphasized her small waist, but also called attention above-the-waist, with an under-set black-sequined tank-style top. A super-high slit showed off her legs (which appeared quite long, despite the fact the actress is a petite 5’4”).

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett oscar 2015Black was not so basic on the two-time Oscar winner. Blanchett’s John Galliano for Maison Margiela gown was deceptively simple, short sleeved, a fitted column gown with an ever-so slight train. The gown did all the things for Blanchett that any evening dress should do for its wearer: highlight her lovely slender figure and leave the wow factor to a large turquoise Tiffany & Co. necklace.

Oscar Trends

With such Hollywood powerhouses as Scarlett Johansson and Cate Blanchett, as well as up-and-comer Margot Robbie donning huge statement necklaces, it will come as no surprise when department stores and boutiques will pair significant jewelry with Sherri Hill dresses and other formal wear in displays.

Colors: Whether a nod to purity or brides, white was probably the most popular color at the 87th Oscar award shows, followed by red and nude/pale pink. Meryl Streep, Sienna Miller and winner Patricia Arquette, like the aforementioned Blanchett, chose black. As for the gentlemen, colored tuxedos were featured on the red-carpet, in such multitude that hadn’t been seen since the 1970s. Witness: winner Eddie Redmayne, David Oyelowo, host Neil Patrick Harris and Jared Leto.

Beyond Basic: Solid colors may be considered the traditional standard for formal wear, but Naomi Watts, Chloe Moretz, Jamie Cheung, Laura Dern and Knightley stepped it up with exciting patterns.

Bling: It would not be a celebrity-filled fete without sparkle, and, thanks to Anna Faris, Oscar nominee Felicity Jones, Mrs. John Legend Chrissy Teigen and the legendary Nicole Kidman, the red carpet stayed glittery.

So if you’re looking for bridesmaids’ wear or that unforgettable prom dress, taking your cue from this year’s Oscars wouldn’t be such a bad thing – it would be a stylish thing.
