Exciting things are happening here at AKD! We just recently
held our 2012 Model Search Photo Shoot at the end of July with none other than the
fabulous Denver Bronco Cheerleader- Toni Damico! For obvious reasons, it is
clear to see why we chose Toni for this experience. She is not only beautiful
and talented, but for those who don’t know her, she is poised, outgoing, intelligent,
and very passionate about what she does. In other words, the perfect person to
model our Go Wild! Wear line’s newest and cutest outfits! Here's just a recap of that amazing weekend:
The few days she was here was a whirlwind of events. From the
moment of meeting her at the airport, she was incredibly gracious and humble,
not to mention very excited for the photo shoot! We made sure to lavish her with gifts
(even though some may have been tacky Texan themed) so that she'll always
remember her visit to Texas and the AKD headquarters. Our whole intent was to
provide her with an unforgettable experience and create memories that she can
share with her family and friends long after her trip has ended.
Toni was such a great sport- signing autographs for fans,
taking pictures, and making the best out of each moment of her trip. We took
her to the Ski Lodge in McQueeney, Texas, where we had dinner while watching
some of the best stunts that water ski sports have to offer! It was a fun night, though we had to prepare for the next day which was going to be full of promotional
activities involving Toni.
The day of the photo shoot was the biggest and busiest day
for all of us. We first filmed Toni’s AKD promo video out on Lake McQueeney so
that we could get some good shots of her to use in our upcoming model searches.
We were even lucky enough to have a few people from The Sideline Group come to take
photos and interview Angela and Toni for their upcoming issue of The Playbook,
out this fall! The photo shoot itself was the best part of the weekend. To see
all of the energy and charisma from Toni and the Go Wild! models in front of
the camera was truly amazing. We couldn’t have had better girls modeling our
outfits, probably because they looked so fabulous in them! Toni of course
looked incredible in everything she modeled and all of the shots we took of her
turned out flawless. It is going to be difficult finding someone who can fill
her shoes for next year!
Her trip ended with a tour of the San Antonio Riverwalk and
historic Alamo. We had to make sure she did some tourist-y things too! Great
Mexican food and the culture that Texas has to offer were just what we thought
she needed before we sent her back home. All in all, it was a memorable weekend
which we, at Angela King Designs will never forget, and I think it is safe to
say Toni won’t either! We would love to have her visit again, guest for next
year’s photo shoot perhaps? I think yes!
And last but not least, GO BRONCOS!!
