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.
