Fashion Designer: Noelle C. Tavares
Where were you born? Sacramento, CA
Where do you live? Sacramento, CA via everywhere.
When did you decide that this is what you want to do? When I was in my 3rd year in college, I met a student that wanted to go into a company together and we just kept having meetings, but there was never any progress. I decide to take matters into my own hands. I produced my very first fashion show, June of 2004 and the rest is history.
Are there any celebrities that you’ve worked with? Not yet…but the year is still young . =)
Which Celebrities fit your style, and that you would want to work with? I would love to see people like Kelis, Kid Cudi, Rihanna, Tracee Ellis Ross, Joy Bryant, Jean Grae,Keri Hilson,Electrik Red and Kid Sister in some Faedrah Clothing…I have a bigger list but that’s a few names that’s on my list.
Which celebrity could put on anything and look good? (male or female) I think Pharell can put on anything and make it look good…he can wear some sweatpants and a plain white tee and still look like a million bucks!!
Do you have a favorite color or fabric that you like to work with? And why? I am a color fanatic…every color of the rainbow is my favorite color. My favorite fabric is jersey material…I just like how it hugs and fits on the body. Especially if you have curves, it definitely brings it out.
What helps you get creative (music, people, movies)? I love going to different places and people watching…just checking out their style and peeping what’s stylish on the streets. I listen to a various number of artists and all genres of music. Music motivates me and gets my creative juices flowing. I have 3 movies I always turn to for inspiration whenever I get into a “creative stump”. My 3 “old faithfuls” are Party Girl (w/Parker Posey), Beat Street (Rae Dawn Chong cold rockin’ it) and last but not least The Wiz (the Emerald City scene with all the color changes and all the dancers is Halston-enough said!!)
Any projects coming up that we should know about? I am co-styling with an accessory company based out in Oakland for their commercial this month (hopefully it goes well), I have a few shows lined up in California for the next few months. I’m also a stylist so I have photo shoots lined up. I’m working on getting my clothing in store locations in Atlanta, New York, and San Francisco to name a few. Be on the lookout for www.faedrah916.com to launch this summer.

Where were you born? Cincinnati, OH
Where do you live? Houston, TX
When did you decide that this is what you want to do? – When I was a music major at Texas Southern University I wanted to create visuals to go along with the music we were making.
Are there any celebrities that you’ve worked with? yes, I’ve worked with Micheal Williams (Omar from wire), Mike Epps, Lil Wayne, T.I. , and Lupe Fiasco (to name a few)
Which Celebrities fit your style, and that you would want to work with? – Clint Eastwood, he is a master storyteller, and has been around since the days of Otto Preminger to Sergio Leone to directing films himself.
Do you enjoy shooting by the water? Doesn’t matter to me. I shot in the Dominican Republic once and the water was beautiful.
Do you make your own sets or you enjoy going on location? I enjoy and do both, but I enjoy going on location the most. I like to travel and experience new places. I also relish the challenge of making what’s written come to life and often shooting on location provides the realness needed.
What is some advice that you can give to a future male/female model? NEVER QUIT. If you have a goal or dream, do whatever you have to do to make it happen, fight for it til your last breath.
What is one thing that you hate people to do while on set? TARDINESS!!!
When its time for you to do an interview do you enjoy it or get nervous? I enjoy, I love talking. I mean I have so many dope things going on I can talk forever.
Which do you really enjoy working on…Movies, videos or commercials? MOVIES, hands down.
You don’t have to name names, but what do you hate for the artists to do while on set? I hate when an artist is late to set, I have ZERO tolerance for that.
Which video to date was the one you most enjoyed making and why? Spit Yo Game by The Notorious, because of the opportunity to be apart of the legacy of the great BIG. I also got the chance to work with Swizz Beatz, Twista, Bone,Thug & Harmony, and 8 Ball & MJG all on one project. This video brought together a lot of legends.
What helps you get creative when making video treatment? (music,people,movies) GOOD MUSIC. Good music is always easy to write to.
Do you write your own treatment or your open to work with others? I write my own treatments but if you are a good treatment writer I’m interested in working with you. You can get at me via email at drteeth04 [at] yahoo [dot] com, I’m searching for new talent.
What type of artists would you rather work with? Rappers,rock etc… R&B are my favorite. I don’t think they get the love and respect they deserve, and they are some of the best storytellers.
Is it more important to have a great make up artist or a good stylist? BOTH, because one compliments the other.
Any shout outs? Yes, I want to send a shout out to my dog Kevin Canine as he look at me from the floor of my living room as I do this interview. No really he is my dog. Shout out to Cherrell Rene, she is the dopest, everyone should get you one, but don’t waste your time calling her if you don’t have your paper right!!! The Nasty Natti, and all of my friends in my old neighborhood Evanston, Jami Z for the opportunity to do this interview. And finally to my baby mamas, you know who you are, QUIT CALLING ME, I sent the damn money. Especially baby mama #27 Rose P, you get the nerves the MOST of ALL. Just drop Rose Jr off and keep it MOVIN. Thanks for the opportunity!!!! —

VH1 Casting – TOOL ACADEMY – Class of 09
TOOL ACADEMY – Class of 09′
The prestigious academy is currently enrolling a limited number of “select” attendees.
Enrollment into the Academy will be by secret female recommendation only: we are
bound together by our word and secrecy in a sorority of sisterhood.
Ladies, are you sick and tired of a boyfriend or husband who just won’t grow
up? Are you fed up with a man who doesn’t give you what you deserve?
They are “TOOLS”: a new generation of preening, self-satisfied men who feel
the greatest gift they can bestow upon on a woman is themselves. The
irony is, they are the worst partners EVER! Yet we still love them,
stay with them, and even marry them! They’re late to pick you up.
They spend more on their spray-on tan than on an anniversary gift.
They’re selfish lovers. They won’t think twice about hitting on your best friend.
These eternal frat boys put themselves first, their posse second and you last.
These self-obsessed bad boys need help. They just don’t know it yet. But you
do. And so do we! Tool Academy was built with you in mind! Don’t tell
them… tell us! Now’s your chance to make Mr. Right!
Apply now at www.toolacademycasting.com
We are secretly taking America’s worst boyfriends and husbands and turning them into Mr. Right. Help us help you!
VH1, 495 Productions and Doron Ofir Casting is seeking fed-up, frustrated
girlfriends, who are above the age of 21 and who appear younger than
30, and who have boyfriends or husbands who need the transformation in
order to save their relationship – and win 100 grand.
Are you ready for a change? Tell us why!
