We love East Coast Starz!!! It's always fun there!!! I can
hear my daughter Belle chanting this words.
The very first time we joined this amazing group, my then 3
years old daughter Belle was a very shy little girl. After her first East Coast
Starz experience, she evolve into this confident and more outgoing self. That
put smile on mommy's face, seeing my little girl enjoyed every fun activities
and opportunities this amazing group offered. Every child is treated and made
feel like a star that they are. Everyone is a winner and everyone has the
chance to shine.
Belle had so much fun at Take 7 event. We met lots of our
old friends and made lots of new ones. The event was a great experience not
only for kids but for the whole family as well. Fashion, friendship, and
building confidence is what we came for. Our fun weekend last Friday night
started with the registration. Belle was so happy and thankful when Lauren
Handler handed me a black "Pose off" shirt. After we received our
sponsored outfit and styled by the one and only Stacie Fitzgerald, we met our
team members in the pool. Kids had so much fun and enjoyed the pool while the
mommies and some grandmas we met enjoyed chatting and exchanging ideas for the
Team show.

The next day we met with Industry professionals. Belle got
the chance to be seen and interviewed by Shirley Grant and Funny Faces Agency
representatives.The amazing photographer Olesja Mueller Austrauskas took group
picture of each team and Child Essence Photography took the individual pictures.
East Coast Starz event also brought some of New York's talented photographers
including Nathan Yungerberg, John Zadrozny of iStyle Photography, Stacy Holland
Galizzi Photography, Le red and also Franco Photography from Texas who's works
can be seen in Vogue Italia and lucky for Belle to be photographed by them.
Belle's Team A New York was so lucky to receive a couture
dress especially made for them by the very talented designer Loren Franco, who
came all the way from Texas to join the fun at Take 7. It was because of East
Coast Starz that we finally met the CEO of Kid's Dream ( Belle modeled for the
company) Chewy Jang from Los Angeles who sponsored another great team.
Belle's friend Kaidance who is from Tennessee was signed up
by her mom Heather and joined Team A New York. Both Belle and Kaidance will
have that special bond and memories to treasure. Belle was also very happy to
see her picture in the billboard. Kids had a great time this weekend, from
hanging out with old and new friends in the pool, to the scavenger hunt, the
party where they met their favorite Frozen characters Elsa and Anna, meeting
with industry professionals, photo shoots and runway...my Belle had a blast!
For Belle, we cannot
miss the Take 7 event. She was so excited about it that even if she was not
feeling well the night before the runway show, @ 2AM she was feverish, she woke
us up at 6 AM and her exact words "Today is the day of my fashion show.
Let's get moving! I don't want to miss it! “She is such a trooper and enjoyed
every minute of it.
The highlight of the event for her is walking in the runway
and when she received her crown and swag bag. I love that every participant
were given a crown and a swag bag that made the child believe she won something
for doing a great job. If you are a mom like me who doesn't want competition
alone but want to have fun and build your kid's confidence, this is where you
want to be. Come join us at East Coast Starz where every kid is a star.
