We were recently in las Vegas for the Olympia, staying at our favorite place – the hard rock hotel.
After a long and scorching hot shoot in the desert, we pull up to our hotel and guess who’s just standing there?
Hangover in Vegas?

Recently, I found myself going back to my roots – drawing. Little did I know I would embark on a new career. Hello world, I am now an illustrator.
I love the simplicity of drawing – how a line can instantaneously turn into a little piece of beautiful art.
I am now officially illustrating for Oxygen magazine on a monthly basis. Keep a look out for the illustrated exercise routines and let me know what you think!

the infamous Sarah Scotford shoot
December 17, 2010 Leave a Comment
On the last day of shooting at the pool party this year, Paul, Sarah and I teamed up on an ultra-sexy, very edgy, rock and roll beach shoot.
I give Sarah a killer smoky eye and huge hair; Sarah puts on some sexy pantyhose and strikes a pose; Buceta composes an impossibly beautiful shot…AND the rest is history!
This is hands-down one of my favourite shoots of all-time…
High five, team!
Paul Buceta Pool Party 2010!
December 9, 2010 Leave a Comment
What an amazing week! This year 75 (yeah. i know) flew down to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for a week long photoshoot/networking session.
It was incredible to see everyone break off into groups and start shooting. Models and photographers find each other, set a date and go shoot. You could see at least 4 photo shoots happening on our stretch of beach at any given time.
Paul and I worked every single day and we have some incredible shots to show for it.
Stay tuned!

Hey guys!
Check out Summum’s cover featuring WWE’s Maryse Ouellet…
Isn’t it SmOkiN’ HOT ?!?
I’ll take the credit for makeup and hair, but as you can see Maryse barely needs my help. She just works it.

summer of rock

I recently concluded that I haven’t been to enough concerts. I decided to take matters into my own hands and buy tickets to some of the main rock shows coming to Toronto.
My sweet summer concert line-up:
I’m also going to see Lady Gaga with the studio gang.
Oh. and I just got tickets for Aerosmith in August.
ROCK ON!

Recently, Paul Buceta and I flew down to New York to shoot for Muscle Mag at the New York Pro show.
WHAT an experience! It was my first time in New York and I instantly fell in love. I am going back there immediately.
Here’s what I got to experience:
the subway, the yellow taxi’s, the MET, Times Square, WTC, Brooklyn, $$$ sushi, a $30 tan, lotsa walking, my heart skipping a beat (LOL)
I LOVED: the art, the buildings (the fire escapes!) the people….
ANYWHO. So on our way home, Paul and I got talkin’ about art and creativity and such and he challenged me to paint a painting inspired by my first trip to New York…..hhhhhhmmmmmmmm. toughie. I generally paint hot chicks.
But I thought it out and started looking for random images of what NYC means to me. After gathering a pile of pics, I decided to melt them all together using photoshop
THIS is my sketch for the NYC painting. I’ll keep ya posted.

the Arnold

So this was my second year at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio.
I love meeting people who work in the fitness industry and network!
I did makeup for lots of girls at the Arnold; assisted at a couple of photo shoots, got to walk around the expo and attended some VIP parties…
At the Dymatize VIP party, I met Brock Lesnar of the UFC. I got a pic with him and he signed it for me…it reads, “Valeria, you smell tasty.” I’m hoping he’s referring to my perfume! LMAO!
