Now with M3 model agency, she's found runway modeling to be her favorite brand of looking beautiful, and she gets great pleasure from the attending crowds. "I love meeting interesting people, and fashion shows are the best," she says. "Everything is alive!" When asked if she has any advice for models starting out in the industry, she says "most important is a good portfolio," but that perseverance is also key.

Neda (like any good model) can alternate between seductive charm and coy innocence at the click of a shutter... perhaps, a skill any woman would find worthwhile to have in her arsenal. Coupled with her sultry Arabic beauty, the combination becomes irresistible. Along with all that, she has a passion for the modeling industry that's carried her through quite a series of photo shoots and fashion shows. Soon, she plans on taking the next step by moving to Los Angeles, and her eventual dream is to appear in the pages of Vogue. We're happy to have her in these pages for now!
Neda aptly plays painter's muse in this series... making a splash in the studio for this, her sugartwist debut. This is just the beginning for Neda, so keep an eye out for her in a future issue! Hair and makeup by Isabel Vigil.

Born near the beaches of Southern California, Twyla is still a sun-lover at heart. But she's equally comfortable shooting on the sand or in the studio, and she shines under the glare of colored strobes in this photo series. A
model since the age of 17, Twyla took a break from the spotlight to pursue
a degree in Software Technology... but was drawn inevitably back before
the lens by unforseen circumstances. "The job market fell to an all
time crappy low," she explains, "and it was incredibly difficult
to find work as a computer guru." An introduction to a photographer
by some friends launched her back into her first career choice, and the
tech industry's loss became our gain.

With every gesture, Galina shows a dancer's confident fluidity and sensual, athletic grace... yeah, she should... touring for eleven years throughout Russia with a professional dance troupe would do that to a girl. Now 21, she's been in the USA for less than a year, but has impressed more than a dozen photographers and helped create artistic visions of beauty for each of them.
Quite a brain inhabits this body as well, and so it's not a surprise to learn she studied law and philosophy in her hometown of Minsk, Belarus. Books were not all she spent her time with, and modeling kept her busy as well... but (lucky for us), she found the opportunities there a bit wanting, and in spite of her short time in the States (and current lack of agency representation), is now well on her way!

Born a tender 18 years ago in Lake Jackson, Texas, Megan started her modeling career doing fashion shows at 6 years old. She's since made Colorado home, and has all along maintained quite a varied resume. Since her favorite spectator sport is boxing, she's been loving her most regular gig as ring girl for Kick Down, a no-holds-barred mixed martial arts tournament, which she's done for almost 2 years. But overall, she tells us that her all-time favorite modeling experiences so far have been this shoot for sugartwist (no, we didn't tell her to say that!) and sharing the limelight at a recent swimsuit fashion show at the venerable Paramount Theater in Denver.
Though she loves the attention of being in front of the camera, her goal is to eventually step to the other side of the lens and share in the creativity of fashion photography as a makeup artist, and counts (as so many others have) the late master Kevin Aucoin as a major inspiration... after makeup school (she's got her eye on applying to Xenon in Los Angeles) and a lot of research, she'd like to write a book on the history of makeup, stretching from the days of ancient Egypt to the present. This photo set was a blast to shoot, since Megan makes a simple walk in the park something special to see... She's by turns shy and bold, casting a chameleon glance at the camera that in every frame reveals something different and deep in her soulful eyes. And a cowboy hat and boots seem to suit this Texas girl... Make the boots high-heeled and throw in a bikini, and it all suits sugartwist just as well.
