Hey AKD fans – Alexa here! I am thrilled to communicate with
you all through my first blog post for The Costume Lounge!
Since being named the
winner of the 2013 AKD Sports Model Search Contest, I have experienced some
bittersweet and important moments in my life.
In April, I performed at my final
New Orleans Hornets game as a Honeybee, and this month I will officially be a
graduate of Tulane University with a degree in marketing. What an exciting (and
somewhat scary) time in my life! I included some photos here of our final game as a Honeybee. That's me kissing the Hornet - the blonde on the upper left. Love him!
I can’t wait to see what this summer has in
store, from modeling the new Go Wild! Wear designs at the official photo shoot
to representing AKD at Pro Action Dance in Las Vegas—and hopefully many other
things in between!
My first duty as the 2013 Face of AKD is to design a
rehearsal uniform for the up-and-coming Pelicans Dance Team. The NBA Hornets have undergone re-branding and are now known as the New
Orleans Pelicans. Although I will not be auditioning for the Pelicans, I am looking
forward to having some involvement with this new team by outfitting them in custom-designed
Go Wild! Wear.
When I set out to design the practice uniform, my main goal
was to find a perfect balance between comfort and style. I want the girls to
feel secure while dancing but it needed to have that “Alexa” flair
to it. Stay tuned for the official unveiling of my design!
Be sure to visit The Costume Lounge every month as I update
you on my journey with AKD - or subscribe by entering your email above. Next month I’ll reveal which of my designs made it
to the new Go Wild! Wear collection as well as some other exciting news… Stay tuned!
Dream BIG!
