Kindly Myers is on the cover of Modelz View Magazine. This cover is the result of her work with talented photographer, Shannon, known on Model Mayhem as Nashville Fitness Photo. They make a fantastic team. Their work has been featured in many publications and on many covers before. Both are very experienced in the industry.

Shelby Irey is Revved Magazine’s babe of the month
Model: Shelby Irey; Photographer: Jay Canter
Shelby Irey was recently featured in Revved Magazine as one of their babes of the month. The Los Angeles based beauty has extensive experience in print work, film, fitness, spokesmodeling, runway and dance. In addition to being a model, Shelby is also a personal trainer whose goal is to motivate people to live a healthy lifestyle. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a very caring and inspiring individual. In 2007, Shelby created a non-profit organization called ‘Building Bridges’ to build relationships between youth and their communities to ease racial and cultural tension. She has partnered with Beauties and Athletes Against Bullying and together they travel and speak at schools, grades K-12, The Boys and Girls Club of America, and other organizations to help create support groups and stop bullying through team building activities, sharing stories and much more.
Sarah Tyrrell in Vancity Buzz
Model: Gingersnap Pixie
Sarah Tyrrell, known on Model Mayhem as Gingersnap Pixie, was recently featured in Vancity Buzz. Being featured in Vancity Buzz is considered a big milestone for many local models. Originally from Eastern Canada, Sarah is currently based in Vancouver. She has been drawing and sculpting for a long time. Sarah is definitely a well-rounded artist who thrives on being creative. According to Vancity Buzz, she is “a 2D/3D freelance graphic artist during the week and a thrill-seeker during the all-important weekend, including, but not limited to, exotic dancing, nude modelling, obstacle-course racing, outdoor paintball, wilderness hiking, and pretty much any zombie-themed activity.” We look forward to seeing more of her published work.
Andreja Pejic becomes first transgender model on Marie Claire cover
Andreja Pejic is going where no other transgender model has ever gone before. According to this Times Live article, she became “the first transgender model to land a fashion magazine cover with Marie Claire Spain. Prior to her gender re-assignment surgery, Andreja graced the cover of Elle Serbia and she’s been seen on catwalks and in editorials all over the world. In addition to her accomplishments as a print and runway model, Andreja is also a spokesmodel for Make Up For Ever. We are very excited to see how diverse the fashion industry is becoming.
