Gabrielle Augustin
When booking
Gabrielle for a job
you get a
responsible,
reliable person
who is willing to
do hard work.
They also get to
interact with a
down to earth
young lady.
Gabrielle defines
success as
“Overcoming any
obstacle, or feat and
finding happiness in
all areas within
yourself.
This includes
mentally,
physically,
financially and
emotionally.”
M a r c h 2 0 1 1 — K a t O n t h e W a l k
NICOLE JOHNSON
Nicole says, “My first love was Zane
McClellan and still is!” The most
adventurous thing Nicole has ever
done was, “I road on the back of my
boyfriend’s bike with him for the first
time. It does not sound like much, but
it was his first motorcycle and he had
never had anyone on the back before.
It was the scariest test drive ever!”
Nicole Define’s Success as,
“Education, self improvement,
accomplishing your goals and being
happy with yourself and your life in
what you do. To also know a rich
person is one who needs the least, not
who has the most.” and my last words
are: “I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.”
“Nothing is Impossible if you
believe in yourself”!
Started in the Modeling Industry
after learning about Tyra Banks
through her cousin. She also watched
Tyra Banks on the runway and was
in her first hair all at the young age
of 14.
Nicole’s future holds many amazing
shows and photo shoots. She is
looking forward to many hard
working days and nights, traveling to
different states and enjoy every bit of
it.
Nicole’s style is very cute and classy!
She says, “You will never catch me
with the color pink, I do not like the
color Pink!” Nicole’s favorite colors
are Blue and Red.
The one thing she must have in her
wallet is her Prayer Card.

M a r c h 2 0 1 1 — K i t t e n O n t h e W a l k
Morgan is only 9 years old making great
progress toward her dream of being a Model.

she would choose Model.

Model Bag are Portable DVD Player, IPAD,
Change of Clothes, Lotion, Lip Gloss,
Deodorant, Perfume, MP3 Player, Case for
Glasses, Jewelry. Morgan sees herself on
television and in magazines around the world

Morgan’s mother, Jennifer, wants to share a
must know things with New Model Moms
such as time management, financial
management, patience, understanding and get
plenty of rest (when you can).
The most exciting experience for Morgan as
a Model so far is she attended Ritz Star
Bootcamp, Hair and Fashion Shows.
The advice Morgan would like to give to
Models her age or younger is, “You have to
be ready to go anytime and always enjoy
yourself when Modeling”.

IMANI MARTIN One day Imani just knew she wanted to Model. Imani considers herself to be a High Fashion
Model. If Imani had to choose between playing sports, hanging out with her friends or
modeling she says with no question, “Modeling is it.”
The things Imani has in her Model Bag are:
water, pictures, heels, make-up, lip gloss, one
piece bathing suit, notepad, comb, lotion, mints
and a pen to write with. Imani sees herself in
New York and Paris Modeling within the next
five years.
Imani says her most exciting experience in the
Modeling Industry is being the first child model
in Katwalk Planet. She also says that if she could
give some advice to Models that are around her
age the advice would be “It’s a lot of hard work
and if you want it you have to work for it”.

When asking Imani’s Mother, Yolanda, about
her take on Imani Modeling she says she has
people around telling her to dream big for
Imani and to work hard. When it comes to
Photographer’s Yolanda researches them by
looking at their work and talking to people
about them. Yolanda also says the family
would move to another location to support
Imani’s Modeling Career.

Delivering strong vocals and messages
with his spoken word, David “Big Fitz”
Fitzpatrick is a man on mission. Big
Fitz says he got his start with poetry
when he was asked to write a poem by
his teacher, Ms. Hawkins, which he
Titled Damn, I Hate That White Girl!
When you sit down with him or
purchase one of CD’s you start to feel
the fire that burns inside of this
Lightweight Revolutionary. Big Fitz
feels he can call himself this because he
says, “I should be doing more”.
He views the current status of music is
watered down a little bit as far as lyrics
go. Now it is all about gimmicks and
fads, yet he says he is still a fan.
He likes Artists such as UGK, Scarface, Tupac, Outkast and the Dungeon
Family. He recalls the first Artist he listened to was Michael Jackson and the
first Poet he enjoyed was Maya Angelou. When people see Big Fitz they should
see a great poet that touches souls and is able to move people in the right
direction.
He is genuine and 100. He is so much more than a Spoken Word Artist or a
Block / Hood Poet. He is a man who speaks about struggles and wants people to
not allow themselves to get caught up in pointing fingers. He says, “Now in
2011 we have a Black President so we have to make sure we tell it as it is. My
CD’s have everything on them. That’s why I consider myself a “Lightweight
Revolutionary”.

The advice Yolanda has for new
Photographer’s starting in the Modeling
Industry on dealing with child Models is
to be patient because at times they do
get nervous.

Big Fitz says, “Poets or Rappers either way. It’s all Poetry. We just talk about
different things. I might talk about the Republican Party. Rappers talk about cars.
They use a beat. I choose to do it Acapella. Poetry has staying Power because
it’s REAL. There is no crossover in Poetry; either you good or your not”.
Big Fitz has an Urban,
Earth tone style that is
Casual and laidback.
You will never catch
him without some CD’s
of himself. He says the
one thing he has to have
in his wallet is money
and that his first big
purchase was a car.
He recalls that the most
adventurous things he
has ever done is went
riding on a 20 foot or
more hill when he was
in High School. His
favorite colors are blue
and brown. Big Fitz
Loves Lasagne, Grapes,
Whatchamacallit Candy
Bars and enjoys eating
at Golden Corral.
He credits his father as
his mentor and his
children, Son who is 6
and a daughter who is 3,
as the accomplishments
he is most proud of.
If he was a millionaire
he would make sure his
kids college tuition
money is right, build a
house or two, donate
some to a Foster Care
Home, go on a much
needed shopping spree,
and of course invest.
The Last Words of
Big Fitz are:
I want to
shock the world
Every time I
grab the Mic
TAZZERS…
Lately I done had
to cut some
cats short
RAZZERS…
Jealousy is
a wasted emotion,
You know who
catch heart attacks
HATERS…
Ain’t nowhere
to go but up
right now
Like I play for the
RAIDERS…

Listening to his CD is truly moving, but
seeing a live performance is even better. The
talented Artist belted some strong vocals to a
wonderful crowd who sang along and
danced while JL soothed their hearts and
souls.
Julius Lett aka as
The Priest of R & B
“JL”
performed, Friday, February 18, 2011 at the Black Affair Party
at Bella Notte Nightclub in Norwich, Connecticut.
Ronald “BIGG CHOICE” Smith Ronald Smith also known as “Bigg Choice” is the Owner of Choice Entertainment out of Connecticut. He is a strong Artist who makes you get up out of your seat and pay attention to what
he is saying. The name BIGG CHOICE was chosen because he didn’t want to use his street name.
He got his start in the music industry early on in life, but while in Prison he was told by Artist, Keith Murray that he was good, had great talent and should pursue a career in the music industry.
He began writing songs and after returning home he went in full force on following his dream.
When listening to his music you get REAL. He says, “Anything I talk about it is because I did it”.
He has released 2 CD’s, The Real Street Blues and Get To Know Me. Bigg Choice says that the music industry is
good. “Poetry is good, Rap is not dead. Hip Hop is a way of
Life”. The first group he remembers listening to was The Temptations. The Artists he listens to now are Drake,
Jay-Z, Rakim, but mostly unsigned Artists. He says, “I’m
not really a fan of Lil’ Wayne”.
The style or swag of Bigg Choice is just to be different. He
says you will never catch him being disrespectful. The one thing he must have in his wallet are Bigg Faces, “I gotta
have money”. He says his first big purchase was a car and
his favorite color is Blue. The favorite food of Bigg Choice is Lasagne and his favorite place to eat is The Black Angus.
The accomplishment he is most proud of is the fact that Choice Entertainment has a hot team hitting the streets and
making it happen.
Bigg Choice defines Success as, “Living comfortable,
getting to know success and getting the world to know Choice Entertainment. Anything other than the streets is a
good thing”.
When asked what 3 things he would do if he was a
millionaire he said, “I would invest in my team, Buy a big
house, and invest more”.
The last words from Bigg Choice are
“I got what they want, so get to know me”.
