I recently met Christopher Pollard through a friend at a networking event. After talking for 5 minutes, I felt as if we were long time friends. It was only right that I share with readers what his work and talent has helped him to obtain and where his persistence is taking him.

After hearing his name, I immediately said to him, you should go by Chris Aubrey instead of Chris Pollard…I just think it has a memorable ring to it…am I right? Or am I right?

The Brooklyn born and Bronx bread actor/model is currently scheduled to work on a film which should be keeping him very busy…I will be sure to supply an update when possible. His interest in acting which dates back to 7 years of age was sparked by the action in Terminator movies. As he grew up he gained an appreciation for the work of Denzel Washington, Kevin Spacey, and Harrison Ford.

Chris has since booked jobs in films such as American Gangster, in TV shows such as Law and Order, and Soap Operas such as All My Children and As The World Turns.

Interesting facts about Chris:

1. He has 10 siblings

2. He has a Bachelors Degree in International Marketing with a minor in Political Science

Publicist Troy Monoco Celebrates B-DAY with ANTM Model Dani Evans

Posted by Mona-Elisa on March 30, 2009

troy-b-day-partyPublicist Troy Monoco celebrated another year young last week at Sutra Lounge in NYC along with friends Dani Evans from cycle 6 of ANTM and celebrity hairstylists, Ursula Stephens. It took me a little while to get to the event since I always get lost going anywhere other than midtown, but I arrived a little after the b-day boy. I was told that he walked in with Dani Evans, who I am a big fan of. I loved her while on America’s Next Top Model, and have tried to follow her work since. Ursula Stephens was also in attendence to help Troy celebrate his special day. I first met Troy last fall, at Ursula’s b-day party and he definitely made a great impression on me. I hope he enjoyed his NYC b-day bash!

Although I was out of town this week, NYC nightlife and fabulousity went on as usual. One of the events I am sad to have missed was Christina Mendez‘s private birthday bash held at the Glass Lounge in lower Manhattan.

Miss Christina Mendez can presently be seen gracing the pages of March’s Issue of Latina Magazine and It appears as if New York’s fashionable elite, industry insiders, and VIP’s were out helping Christina celebrate another year young.

The birthday girl has graced the pages of Glamour, All You, Latina Magazine and Urban Latino Magazine, rocked the runway for BET’s Rip the Runway, Art of Curves, and Lane Bryant’s In-Store Fashion Show in NYC. She has also become one of the first real-size, Hispanic Urban models to work as the featured model for Baby Phat, Apple Bottoms, Rocawear, Dereon and more. Besides appearing in various magazines and runway shows, Christina has been featured in national television segments including The Rachel Ray Show, Fox News, The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, BET News, Lifetime’s “Matched in Manhattan” with Matt Titus, New York local favorites Good Day New York , CW 11 and others.

Besides blessing the world with her grace and beauty, Christina has dedicated her time to various charities including: Autism Speaks, Hispanic Support Organizations and Women Barack! The Vote, being the only Hispanic woman in the ads, Ms. Mendez delivered the important message of voting in both English and Spanish.
