PAWS Chicago is the cities largest No Kill humane organization, focused on implementing solutions to end the killing of homeless pets. Since PAWS Chicago's founding in 1997, the number of homeless dogs

and cats killed annually has dropped more than 50%.

PAWS Chicago is working to build a No Kill Chicago—a city where pets are no longer destroyed just because they are homeless.

PAWS Chicago will find new homes for more than 4,500 homeless pets in 2012 through the

state-of-the-art Adoption & Humane Center in Lincoln Park. The cageless Adoption Center provides homeless pets with the care and dignity they deserve while welcoming adopters, providing them with

guidance in selecting their new pet and continued support for life.

When arriving in New York, Holly auditioned for The Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre School; she was

accepted right away, at the same time she also booked the front cover of New York Magazine. During

the first couple of years in New York, Holly was modeling for International designers in New York for

Couture Fashion Week and Panama for Panama International Fashion week. Holly was also dancing

for The Alpha Omega Dance Company and Alvin Ailey third company, working with choreographers

such as Christopher Huggins. But Holly always knew that music was something she wanted to

pursue, she started writing and recording with different producers, and performed one of her earlier

songs at Couture Fashion week after party at Nikki Beach club in New York.

She then performed on the Robert Goins show at The Times Square Art Center. After finishing the

certificate program at Alvin Ailey Holly wanted to focus on nothing but her music and so she spent

one year recording and writing, finding herself as an artist. She worked with producer/vocalist/writer

Pepe Castrow, whilst also during this time was working for Daniel Mulhern Entertainment performing

in Atlantic City.

Eventually, after performing in small showcases she connected with top 10 DJ in France Franck

Dona. Franck produced her new single ‘What Money Wants Money Gets’, and slowly her team started

to build, people were believing in her art and helping her build her brand. Holly started performing for

designers whilst still modeling in their shows. She performed her single at The Sky Room, for Italian

designer Pamela Quinzi’s one year anniversary. She then performed at The Time Warner Cable

building, Samsung for The International Fashion Tour Event. Holly is still performing in clubs around

New York (Marquee, Chelsea Room, and Copacabana) and now is working with DJ Ray Love from

K104.7 and FOXX code magazine.

Holly has recently been featured in Hampton Daze Magazine, Entrigue Magazine, Millennium

Magazine, Hot Stepz magazine and GetOut Weekly.

Holly is driven, passionate and gives thanks everyday for all the opportunities presented to her and

the supportive team that have helped her make her dreams reality every day.

Holly T was born in London with the

passion for music and dance. By age 11, she

was performing in the West End of London

in ‘The Long Winding Road’ a Beatles tribute

at The Theatre Royal Drury Lane. At a young

age her artistic talent was clearly

recognized. By 17, she was awarded a

scholarship to The Urdang Academy in

London, where she studied Musical Theatre.

At the Academy Holly truly explored her

singing skills. After Holly finished her

studies, working with different productions,

she fulfilled her dream of coming to America

to pursue her career.

Macy’s Passport Presents Glamorama 2012

A Brief Overview of the Media Preview

Byline: Olivia N. Castañeda

If chit chatter did not distract you, then you caught the

sudden appearance of the countdown to show time on

the big screen, which caused my anticipation to fire-up

like a New Year’s Eve night. Macy’s Passport Presents Glamorama 2012 was held

in Chicago at the Harris Theater in Millennium Park, and yours truly attended the

press event/dress rehearsal, getting an exclusive preview, hours before the live

show. This year’s theme, along with the rest of the world’s, was The British Invasion:

The music then. The Fashion Now! All proceeds benefitted the Ronald McDonald

House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (RMHC).

The very entertaining one-hour afternoon event opened with a live acoustic

performance by Macy’s iHeartradio rising star winners Megan and Liz. Following

was a heart-warming story and live appearance by Janae McVey, a 15-year-old girl

who is battling cancer with the help and support of RMHC. Her family was “selected

by RMHC to serve as the Ambassador Family” for the event, according to the press

release. After McVey, the large velvet curtain opened, the music began and in came

the fierce walks of the first models sporting the trendiest color- burgundy- and

preppy London-inspired, ready-to-wear fashions for the upcoming fall season.

Pleated miniskirts, anything-checkered print, knee-high socks for women, leather

jackets, faux- I hope! -fur, cropped jackets and pants, cargo pants and military-style

coats were all the rage on stage for designers Tommy Hilfiger, Impulse Brands,

Armani Jeans, Hugo Boss, Tallia, Bar III and RACHEL Rachel Roy. Models for Jean-

Paul Gaultier entered and exited the stage through an elevator posed as a red

telephone booth. Women strutted in romantic gothic pieces. Lace and flower printed

knee-length dresses were paired with rough chain necklaces and black leather

jackets. Female dancers and children modeled very punk looks- which will surely be

against most school dress policies -for Material Girl in bright neon colors, schoolgirl

and boy outfits with neckties, and studded belts and chokers. Marc Jacobs

presented beautiful over-sized, textured women’s top hats in pale colors, with knee-

length dresses in purism colors and single-buttoned waist-length boxy coats. Sean

Jean presented three-piece suits for men with R&B music playing in the

background, giving a let’s-get-down-to-business vibe.

And Donna Karan New York once again epitomized the strong career woman look:

sharp black and army green pencil skirt suits with tasteful peek-a-boo skin in the

upper back. The look was topped, of course, with an English hat. It was here that

occurred the only wardrobe malfunction. A model wearing a black sleeveless suit

with white cuffs lost one cuff while exiting the stage. What a scandal, we saw her

wrist.

The event kept the crowd drawn in with other performances by the chart-topping duo

Karmin and hip-hop and break dancing performances. The ending left us all with

blushing laughter and giggles, when muscular male models un-modestly posed in

black and white Diesel boxers as English police officers and wig-wearing politicians,

whilst a slouching woman dressed in a nightgown and a salt-and-pepper curly-hair wig

chased the lads to pinch their behinds! Oh how I would have loved to participate with

her.

This was my first Macy’s Glamorama, and was a tad sad that I could not be at the

actual public event at night. But the rehearsal did not disappoint, and with the ending

just mentioned, I felt satisfied enough to think, perhaps I am not missing anything later.

And as Karmin sang, cheerio!
