He Pop The Big Question!
A few days ago, I wrote a few engagement stories and wanted to share it yesterday but the news breakdown that Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian, also a friend of mine just got engaged and was super excited to tell me how her boyfriend… now fiance popped the question. It seems to be the engagement season so let the proposal stories flow. Get your tissues, a cup of tea and relive the excitement on how he asked the question every girl wants to hear.
Janice – My proposal happened when we (my man and I) were on vacation in Varadero, Cuba. We were having lunch in our romantic ocean view room when he popped the question in French and I answered: Oui.
Cora-Lys – They (my friend and her fiance) were having diner at a restaurant where they had their first blind date and after the dessert he got down on one knee and said: It’s time to ask you…Would You Marry Me ? She said: yes.
Kim K. – Kanye West did it at the AT&T park with a 15-Karat diamond ring, fireworks, an orchestra which played Lana Del Ray’s “Young and beautiful”, also Yeezy’s song “Knock You Down”. The words on the jumbotron read: “PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!”. Kim said: Yes!! How romantic!!
Emily – On April 13th Justin proposed to his girlfriend Emily at the restaurant where they had their first date. He told her he was running late, had the restaurant opened just for her, and set up hidden cameras all around her. When she sat down at the table, there was a TV in front of her set to take her on a journey that would lead to the proposal of a lifetime. This is what happened…
Congratulations to Kim and Kanye, also all of the couple who recently got engaged!!!

New Model Law In New York Finally Gives Underage Models Legal Protection.
It’s a big day for the modeling community, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York has signed a bill into law recognizing child models as child performers. This places them under the same labor protections as child actors, including dictating how many hours they can work, how often they can work and how late they can be kept at a job.
The law was proposed and passed in June of this year after pressure from fashion industry leaders, specifically the Model Alliance. The Alliance, a watchdog network of models and industry insiders founded by Sara Ziff, has pushed for more rights and legal protection for models, including a model union.
The bill was also supported by several outspoken models including Coco Rocha, who testified with her own negative experiences as a young model at a press conference this past summer. “For children and young teens who just want to please, the pressure to succumb to demands from adults is often damaging and life altering,” she said at the time.
Now with this legislation signed into law, models under the age of 18 are hopefully protected from those pressures. According to the New York Times, designers wishing to hire underage models for their shows will have to submit paperwork, monitor their hours and even possibly provide them with tutors, chaperones and trust accounts.
Hopefully this will dissuade brands and designers from working with such young models, as well as providing protection to the ones who still get hired.
The law goes into effect in New York in 30 days, meaning it will impact designers and models for this coming Fashion Week in February 2014.
