Crystal Rivers, Sexy and Beautiful Black Woman Model, is a Power Model who has convinced the fashion and beauty magazine world that she can catch the attention of clients and readers with the newly designed products for which she is modeling.

With her new role as Power Model in Fashion and Beauty we the editors at the Philadelphia Front Page News-Magazine and Media Key 307 Magazine asked Crystal Rivers to sit down with us for an interview sharing with us a sort of resume example questionnaire that models can use as a draft that they can customize for creating a modeling profile bio.

Philadelphia Front Page News Magazine:  Being a female beauty model is tough as it requires all industry high standards. What is your personal standard that you are bringing to the beauty model industry for children and women?

Crystal Rivers: My personal standard Is for me to be the best that I can be.  I want to perform to the best of my ability and carry myself with dignity and respect.

PFNM:  What advice do you give so that other models work considerably hard on satisfying the fashion and beauty directors with inner beauty traits?

CR: My advice would be to follow the golden rule.  Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.  Be empathetic and compassionate to others.  Stay humble and maintain a spiritual connection to the most high.

PFNM:  What does being a power model mean to you?

CR:  A power model means that you have a inner quality that shines through.  Because according to Van Stone the true meaning of being a beauty model is concentrating on having the lasting beauty of the inner person more than having outer beauty.

PFNM:  For you, what is the difference between being a fashion model and a beauty model?

CR:  A fashion model is more focused on outer beauty and that can be very stressful.  A beauty model is all about that natural inner glow.

PFNM:  Tell us briefly your specific attributes as a model.

CR:  Some of my attributes are, patience, kindness and versatility to say the least.

PFNM:  Tell us your favorite and most comfortable clothing style.

CR:  I am more comfortable wearing casual clothes so that I can dress up or down for different occasions.

PFNM:  If we left out any, can you tell us if you also do runway/ramp, catalog, print, showroom, product model?

CR:  I haven't ventured out onto those fields but, I am open to it when the opportunity arrives.

PFNM:  So tell us, what's your fashion or beauty firm objective with brands and their clients?

CR:  My objective is to represent the brands and clients to the best of my ability.

PFNM:  What inspired you to embark on a career in fashion?

CR:  I was inspired by my aunt's hard work in making her business successful. I wanted to make my contribution by donating my time by hosting her business events.

PFNM:  What sort of things would you like to bring to independent modeling through the platform of being a power model?

CR:  I would like to break the color barrier.

PFNM:  What is your opinion about the average designer who won’t open the modeling show with a black girl or with a black guy?

CR:  It is shameful and is doing the model industry a disservice and injustice.

PFNM:  After the slogan "black is beautiful " has gained a strong positive return with both white and black viewers of Van Stone's diversity models, how do you feel about taking it up and making it more noticeable in the media?

CR:  I feel it is a step in the right direction.

PFNM:  Now that you are involved in national and international modeling images, as the natural beauty woman you are, what do you want your fans to watch out for next?

CR:  I want my fans to watch for changes in the modeling industry which embrace all models of color.

NL's Harper youngest unanimous MVP; Donaldson earns AL honor

NL's Harper youngest unanimous MVP; Donaldson earns AL honor
 

FILE - In this Saturday, June 13, 2015 file photo, Washington Nationals' Bryce Harper hits an RBI single during the sixth inning of a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers in Milwaukee. Bryce Harper has become the youngest unanimous MVP winner in baseball history, capturing the NL award during a season in which his Washington Nationals missed the playoffs. Harper got all 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America in results announced Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015.

  

NEW YORK (AP) -- Bryce Harper became the youngest unanimous MVP winner in baseball history Thursday, capturing the NL award despite his Washington Nationals missing the playoffs.

Josh Donaldson took the AL MVP, earning the honor after helping boost the Toronto Blue Jays back into the postseason for the first time since 1993.

Harper turned 23 on Oct. 16, after the playoffs had already started. He got all 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

The 2012 NL Rookie of the Year led the majors in slugging percentage and on-base average. The outfielder hit .330 with 42 home runs and 99 RBIs.

Harper was the first player from a Washington franchise to win an MVP - no one on the original or expansion Senators or Nats had done it.

Harper was the fourth-youngest player overall to win an MVP, with Stan Musial, Johnny Bench and Vida Blue also 22 but not quite as old.

Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was second in the voting and Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto was third. Yoenis Cespedes, acquired by the Mets from Detroit at the July 31 trade deadline, finished 13th.

Harper put aside his injury problems from recent seasons and put up huge numbers. The banged-up Nationals didn't do nearly so well, starting the season as World Series favorites and finishing far out of contention.

Harper missed a lot of games in 2013 after a pair of run-ins with walls, then was sidelined for much of 2014 following a headfirst slide that hurt his thumb.

This year, Harper reported to spring training with one goal - the only number he focused on was games played.

Harper finished with a .649 slugging percentage and a .460 on-base average. He went into the final day of the regular season with a chance to win the NL batting title - Miami's Dee Gordon edged him - and scored a league-leading 118 runs.

The three-time All-Star also continued to draw fans in the Washington area and beyond. His constantly changing hairstyles are always getting attention and the selfie he took in the outfield before a game at Nationals Park this season boosted his popularity even more.

His hitting, though, is what makes him so special.

"You could see throughout the season what this guy meant to this ballclub. And don't forget, this guy carried us throughout the whole season," Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said Wednesday.

"Every team that we played circled his name and said, 'This guy's not going to beat us.' And with that said, he beat a lot of teams. So it was a remarkable season. As we said at this time last year, I thought that 'Harp' was just scratching the surface of what he can be."

Donaldson received 23 first-place votes. Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout got the other first-place votes finished second for the third time - he won the award last year. Kansas City outfielder Lorenzo Cain was third.

Donaldson led the AL with 123 RBIs and topped the majors by scoring 122 runs. He hit 41 home runs and batted .297.

Traded from Oakland to Toronto last offseason, Donaldson joined a power-packed lineup that included Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. The Blue Jays battered their way to the AL East title and led the majors in runs and homers, with Donaldson leading the way.

"I feel like I was able to take advantage of the opportunities put in front of me," Donaldson said on the MLB Network telecast of the awards.

Donaldson joined George Bell (1987) as the only Toronto players to win the MVP.

UFC 193 Results: Holly Holm Shocks the World, Knocks Out Ronda Rousey

UFC 193 Results: Holly Holm Shocks the World, Knocks Out Ronda Rousey

 

Former world boxing champion Holly Holm said she came to Melbourne, 

Australia to shock the world, and she did.

Rounda Rousey’s reign atop the women’s 135-pound division came to an abrupt halt when her limp body crashed to the canvas after absorbing a head kick from Holm in the opening moments of the second round in the UFC 193 main event on Saturday.

Rousey tried to pressure Holm throughout the fight, but ended up getting picked apart by a more technical striker. Holm landed left hands when Rousey would recklessly close the distance.

The one time Rousey secured a takedown, Holm quickly worked her way back to her feet. Rousey chased after the challenger, but was taking damage. She looked exhausted heading back to her corner following the opening frame.

In the second round, Rousey continue to push forward and Holm continued to land left lands. They became entangled in a clinch and on the break Holm fired off a high kick that landed flush on the neck of Rousey, rendering her unconscious.

“I had so much love and support, I just felt like, how could I not do this? I had so much love,” said Holm following the stunning upset.

The high kick that finished the fight was something Holm had worked on during her preparation for the title bout.

“Everything that we had worked on presented itself in the fight. I have not spent this much time in the gym before any fight I’ve ever had,” she said. “What happened tonight was actually something we worked on, trying to get on the angle from the clinch.”

“I had the best coaches from stand up to grappling to wrestling,” continued Holm.

With the win, “The Preacher’s Daughter” made combat sports history by becoming the first fighter to win world titles in boxing and mixed martial arts.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia Eagles fans can expect tighter security at Lincoln Financial Field for today’s game against the Miami Dolphins. It’s all a part of the NFL’s response to the terrorist attacks in Paris, France.

More police and security will be visible both inside and outside of the stadium. The NFL issued a statement Saturday saying although there is no known threat against NFL stadiums, they are reinforcing security practices.

One of the targets of Friday’s terror attacks in Paris was a soccer stadium. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said in light of that, the city won’t be taking any chances.

Eagles Grades: Jordan Mathews, Sam Bradford Earn High Marks In OT Win Vs. Cowboys

Eagles Grades: Jordan Mathews, Sam Bradford Earn High 

Marks In OT Win Vs. Cowboys

    

 

The Philadelphia Eagles came out of a bye week on a mission to avenge an early-season loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It may not have been a pretty win for four quarters, but a touchdown connection between Sam Bradford and Jordan Matthews on the first possession of the overtime was a perfect way to end the Sunday night contests in AT&T Stadium. The Eagles had one of their best showings of the season, although it got off to another slow start and needed overtime against a team that has won just two games this season. With a 33-27 win, the Eagles are are now tied in the loss column with the division-leading New York Giants, and the Eagles have a game in hand and a head-to-head tiebreaker against the Giants.

Offense: B
Once again, the Eagles got off to a slow start when they had to punt on their first three offensive possessions of the game, although just one was at the end of a quick three-and-out possession. The first two Eagles touchdown drives covered some good ground with an 80-yard drive ending with DeMarco Murray picking up a one-yard touchdown run and a 95-yard drive ending with a Ryan Mathews touchdown run. Sam Bradford had connected with Murray on a 47-yard gain on the drive. The offense would not score a touchdown again until the overtime, when the Eagles marched 80 yards (85 yards after a false start penalty before the first snap) and ended the game with Bradford getting the ball to Jordan Matthews, who then followed a block and found a path to the end zone for the win. The Eagles used the no-huddle in overtime, suspecting the Cowboys were gassed.

Sam Bradford completed 25 of his 36 pass attempts for 295 yards. He was sacked just once for a loss of eight yards but he was also turnover free. DeMarco Murray led the Eagles with 83 yards and a touchdown in his first game back in Arlington. Ryan Mathews contributed 67 yards on 11 carries as well after being questionable heading into the game. Receiver Jordan Matthews ended the night with 133 yards and the 41-yard touchdown reception. The Eagles completed just three of thier 13 third-down conversion attempts, which leaves room for improvement, but the Eagles were two-for-two on fourth down, including one in overtime.

Defense: B-
The highlight of the night for the Eagles defense came from rookie Jordan Hicks, who stepped in front of a pass from Matt Cassel and returned the interception down the left sideline for a 67-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The pick-six gave the Eagles a 21-14 lead, but the Cowboys would answer on a desperation throw lobbed into the air by Cassell. Dez Bryant somehow managed to be the only player to get his hands on the rainbow pass, tying the game three plays later following a special teams return to the 24-yard line. Byron Maxwell played one of his best games since arriving in Philadelphia, although the officials called him for two highly questionable pass interference calls late in the game, which helped Dallas set up a game-tying field goal.

The Eagles recorded four sacks, with Brandon Graham having two and Mychal Kendricks and Connor Barwin each getting in on the action. The Eagles did have some stretches where backup quarterback Matt Cassel found something working with receiver Cole Beasley, who ended the night with 112 yards and two touchdowns. Dez Bryant was also able to go for 104 yards, but the Eagles secondary got away with allowing two receivers to hit triple digits.
Special Teams: A
The Eagles got zero return yards on kickoff and punt return opportunities, so credit Dallas kickers Dan Bailey and Chris Jones for that. The Eagles special teams also had a solid night. Kicker Caleb Sturgis connected on both of his field goal attempts in the game, including a 53-yarder in the fourth quarter to take a 24-21 lead that would not hold for long. Sturgis accounted for nine points with his two field goals and three extra-point conversions. Meanwhile, punter Donnie Jones continued to be a rock for the Eagles. Four of his five punts landed inside the Dallas 20-yard line and his five punts averaged 48.2 yards.
Coaching: B+

The Eagles got the win, but there was still some room for improvement. Chip Kelly’s offense once again got off to a sluggish start, which may have been a bit influenced by coming off a bye week, playing on the road in the NFC East and the play of the Cowboys. Fortunately, the Eagles offense played a good game, the defense hung in there and made a couple of plays and the Eagles took advantage of the no-huddle offense in overtime. Kelly’s Birds were called for 10 penalties, although a few were questionable calls at best, but the Eagles will have to clean up some of their play in order to prevent giving away free yards and first downs.

The Eagles now get ready for a string of early kickoffs over the next three weeks, starting with the Miami Dolphins in Philadelphia next Sunday. the Dolphins will make the trip up north coming off a loss against the Buffalo Bills, which sunk them to 3-5 on the year. The Eagles need to take advantage of their upcoming schedule, with the next three opponents (Miami, Tampa Bay, Detroit) currently a combined 7-17.

That all leads up to a game against the New England Patriots. If the Eagles can take care of business against their next three opponents, they should be able to work their way ba
