One of the best and most inspiring things about this creative industry are the people you get to meet and work with.  I hope ModelURL has been and continues to be a useful tool for you to network and open new doors and opportunities.  Almost two years ago when I was still modeling,  I had the pleasure of collaborating with model Samantha Gradoville, a breathtakingly beautiful blonde from a humble background for a test shoot in Long Beach, CA.  It was right before her leave to New York and Europe to continue on her modeling career and so far has been successfully climbing the charts.  It's great to turn the pages of Vogue, Numero, and now Harper's Bazaar to see HER WORK.  Last time I checked, she was signed with IMG Models and is ranked in the Top 50 Models today. 

Congrats Samantha on everything.  You worked extremely hard to get that far and I am so inspired by you!!!
