Modelling 101: Water

In the study of human behaviour, experts have found a curious paradox- the easier the task, the less willing people are to do it because they see it as too 'little' or trivial to achieve the results they want. 


Ask a man to dive into the ocean for treasure and he's all ready but ask him to sane ten dollars a day and the excuses of why he can't save; or was never good at saving or; "what can ten dollars do?" mount-up. 


The irony is, that that ten dollars after a year becomes $3,650.00 and in ten years becomes $36, 500.00 a guaranteed treasure.


Add to this paradox the desire for instant gratification; where everyone wants results NOW and an unwillingness to stick with anything for the long-term and the picture becomes even more vivid as to why many fail to achieve their goals. 


Success is much less about 'luck' and much more about preparation and consistency; and finally, as a mentor would say "Doing it, is doing it" - no amount of TALK about doing it will achieve anything- ONLY DOING.

So when a model asks, "What do I need to do?" I'm reluctant to answer; but still do and watch as their face turns to disappointment when I say, "Start by drinking more water" [3litres a day actually]. The look is usually, "Did he hear what I asked; I asked for the secret- not some crappy answer!"

The benefits of drinking adequate amounts of water are so numerous that an entire blog could be devoted to that topic and still wouldn't be exhaustive.

The benefits include but are certainly not limited to:

Hydrating your body and helping your vital organs to work better [consider that over 70% of your body and 90% of your brain consist of water].

Flushing your body [especially skin] of toxins- a healthy inside makes a beautiful outside.

Speeds-up your recovery time from injuries [and in the gym] helping the body repair itself faster.

Helps you sleep better [sleep is essential for muscle repair and growth after exercise] and makes you feel more rested.

Boosts your immune system [less down-time from illness and disease].

The more water you drink the harder your body works to flush it out which is great news for female models worried about 'weight' and bloating when their menstrual cycle starts.

Perhaps the best part about water, for most of us- unlike protein powder, gym membership and training is FREE! 

So before you look for that latest exercise gadget, head to the gym or look for the newest exercise regime. Try the TAP and wipe that look of disappointment off your face.


MAMMOTH RESULTS require MAMMOTH EFFORT...sometimes, starting with a simple glass of water!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REMI!!!

Not everything that glitters is gold- and not every attractive outside covers an attractive inside. When you meet an individual who's character, loyalty, reliability and integrity is as bright as the smile on the outside you have truly met a rare gem.

From the time we met him, [in a world full of rhinestones]  REMI has truly been a DIAMOND!

Wishing you all the LOVE, RESPECT, HAPPINESS that you DESERVE. We very PROUD to have you in the GADAL Family! KEEP FLYING...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REMI!

Erin in latest Threads of Scarlet Music Video: "Slow Down"

Here is Erin in the latest music video by Barbadian rock band: Threads Of Scarlet: Slow Down...all three seconds of her!


The band has a huge following and is yet another example of the 'music force' of talented Barbadians making major waves in the international music arena. Gadal Baby!

The single is available for download on the band's website www.threadsofscarlet.com

Who's That Chick?

Danielle is the definition of "sweet". Obviously the product of a 'good up-bringing', she is polite and precise in a way that can only be replicated by 'finishing school'. She attends what has historically been know as the top school in the  island Harrison College; but there is no cockiness about  this lass. Her humility is actually one of her most endearing features..her voice a few octaves above a whisper...

Put a pair of heels, a dress and make-up on however, and she suddenly transforms into a fashion-diva goddess and every inch of her 5' 9" frame commands your attention. 

Her eyes exude a quiet but steely confidence like the 'eye of the storm'. 

When Barbadian fashion-prodigy and Italian-trained  fashion designer Antonio Cumberbatch; (who is a bombshell in his own right) chose Danielle to shoot for some of his latest pieces in what was her very first photoshoot; we at GADAL were delighted! 

If these images are anything to judge by, we think you will be too!

 Captured by the lens of Michael "Mikey" Rapley each piece is edgy, provocative and a perfect blend of both masculine and feminine elements; contrasting starkly against the beautiful and relaxed backdrop of the sand-dunes and sea-grape undergrowth on the coastline of St. Andrew in the paradise of Barbados.

Make-up was meticulously applied to the model by Colour Coded.

Add to this talent pool the extremely talented Cecil Evans of Caribbean Retouch; the master retoucher himself and you have a spread worthy of the best high-end glossy or flashy online-magazine fashion can throw your way. You know you have model-potential when you can get any one of these people out of their bed; furthermore the entire team!

So who's that chick?

Danielle baby! And she's here to stay!
