More From the Southpole® National Model Search II Winners!

Meet the winners of the "Southpole National Model Search 2, featuring Kristen Nichole! For more information visit: www.facebook.om/southpoleusa

Southpole® National Model Search II Grand Prize Winners Jazzlyn and Jubei, and Runner Up Kristen won the chance to model Southpole’s Fall/Winter fashions. We reached out to them to hear about their experiences with the brand and modeling its clothing and they had tons of great things to say!

Jazzlyn & Kristen Model their Southpole Looks

The photo shoot took place in Brooklyn and Jubei notes, “There is an uber cool element when it comes to trendy neighborhoods in New York City that did add to the experience of the shoot. I enjoy the history and diversity of Brooklyn as well as the signature fashion style that Southpole has always produced.” Jazzlyn adds, “[Working with] the reps from Southpole was like being reunited with friends I hadn’t seen in a while. I felt really comfortable around them. They made the trip effortless on our part. The photographer was so talented; he knew how to work with the models to make us shine.”

When asked, “How does it feel to be featured in a Southpole campaign?”, each winner expressed feelings of gratitude, happiness, and disbelief. Jubei says, “It’s interesting because there’s the ‘I can’t believe I actually did that!’ factor, every time I see the campaign images. But the sense of accomplishment and friends I made during the campaign shoot really gave it a tremendous feeling.” Kristen comments, “I really feel like it’s just the beginning for me. I’ve always wanted to be featured in a national campaign and I don’t think it will be the last…It only takes 1 person to see something in you and give you that chance, and I’m glad [Southpole] saw something in me.”

Thank you to Jazzlyn, Jubei, and Kristen for sharing your stories! Check out this great YouTube video featuring them on their Brooklyn photo shoot.

Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeeee :D

It's been a crazy ride sense my last post. I've been MIA on the updates lately, including on youtube. My last youtube video was 4 months ago which I WISH wasn't so long ago, but I've been transitioning my life from one state to another. August 18th I hopped on a plane 2 California with 2 hot pink suitcases, a large purse, a carry on, and an extra trian case of makeup... They tried to make me get rid of it at every stop but you KNOW how a girl feels about her M.A.C.. It was the hardest thing I've done in a while, because all of I've known for the past 4 years is Michigan State University and my life there. I never had to worry about where I'd be the following year or what'd I'd be doing. The plan was to get my degree, but now nothing's the same.

I'm now located in sunny Southern California trying to live out my dreams. The move is not exactly permanant as of yet. I'm working with the Disney Company for about 5 months and I haven't exactly decided where I want to go with it. It's the struggle that every artist has between their corporate lifestyle and their entertainment career. Someone once told me that my future is already written for me, and I shouldn't try so hard to make plans for it. Everything will fall into place, and that is exactly what I'm doing, with a little extra effort.

September 22nd was my birthday and I spent it in Hollywood doing a lot of touristy things of course :D. Visiting Hollywood, eating at a local diner, cruising around L.A. area. One of my new roommates even baked me a cake which was more than I expected out of people I've know all of a month or so, but I've already gained a lot of valuable insight and new connections out here. Before I left I only asked for 1 thing on my birthday, and that was support. I can't thank you all enough for the support I recieved on my birthday! In a 24 hour period, the youtube video for my single "DrumRoll" recieved 108 shares on facebook walls, and the number still keeps growing!

I think the hardest part about this move has been leaving everyone, but I haven't left them behind. MSU was a chapter in my life and I still love and will stay connected to PLENTY of people I've met during my years. I bleed green and white until the day I die. My friends are doing their own things in other cities also reaching for the stars and I couldn't be more proud. We're all supporting each other along the way, and I promise, if one of us makes it, we all will make it. I think this is the time you all will really see me expand, and go after exactly what I know I was made for.

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it is determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal, a committment to excellence, that will enable you to attain the success you seek."

Kristen Nichole for SouthPole Juniors - Fall 2010

I've finally received the first POS for my first National ad campaign for SouthPole Juniors. It was a long road but I'm extremely excited. There will be more photos but this is the first I have received. This particular image will be used in different department stores (Stage Stores, Levines, Peebles, etc.) So here it is!

Kristen Nichole covers Drake's "Sooner Than Later"

So I've really gotten into this YouTube thing as of lately. The response has been amazing already I didn't realize how much people really wanted me to do this. I thought the whole "getting discovered on youtube" thing was kinda crazy and I probably should have jumped on the bandwagon 3 years ago, but everything happens when it's meant to. I'm not expecting to get discovered here but I'm really just looking for more people to listen & hear my voice. Plus I love talking to people from all over the world. Music seems to connect everybody in so many different ways. So if you like what I'm doing please subscribe! I'm going to do everything from R&B to Pop to country to whatever! I'll also do updates every once in a while if I visit the studio or whenever I feel needed. This just might be my new addiction.

I ♥ NEW YORK

So after the Brickfish campaign, voting, and SouthPole Test shoot, I finally booked the Campaign for Fall 2010! :D I was EXTREMELY excited to participate in this. This was my first big campaign so I hope it leads to even more opportunities. I get a lot of messages from people confused as to why I didn't win the actual campaign but even though I got Runner-Up I'm still considered a winner :) Because I DID get the campaign!The Grand Prize winner Jazzlyn was also there along with 2 other girls, India, and Yahina (Pronouced Jie-Eana) from the Dominican Republic. Interestingly enough we all kind of looked slightly related. Weird right? And I was expecting everyone to be mean or stand-offish but as the day went on everyone got along & I've met some people that I hope to see again. Especially my makeup artist, she was bomb.

I had a great time. NYC is an advertisers DREAM. The lights are amazing in Time Square, advertisements scale the buildings from top to bottom lit up, and the vintage stores are endless. I even scored those red hot $80 disco pants you usually see Amber Rose wearing from American Apparel for $14. Can't get any better than that!

The shoot was about 8-9 hours all over Manhattan. I learned a lot riding the train all over New York. It's interesting how everything is split up, Manhattan, Harlem, Brooklyn, Queens, Soho.

Small Fact: Jay-Z got his name from the trains in New York. Every train line is split up by letter. The J & the Z line only went to his area in the Marcy projects and that's how he got his name. J-Z...

But anyway, I shot 2 winter looks for the fall campaign, a black and a red plaid winter jacket, and a few other shots for their new jeggings (jean leggings). They had a ripped pair I really want. Depending on the photos they choose, hopefully you'll be seeing my ad in Seventeen, Teen Vogue, Latina magazine, or maybe even Time Square :) I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

SouthPole Winners

And what everyone's been waiting for, my SouthPole test shoot photos posted exclusively on my Facebook Fan Page: Check out www.KristenNichole.com for the link

SouthPole Test Shoot

Hey everyone! I had a long day of shooting yesterday. My shoot started at about 3:30 & didn't end until about 7:30 or so. It was an on location outdoor shoot & even though it was nice outside, I've never been so cold in my life. I spent the entire time warming up in the car between takes. This was not for an actual SouthPole campaign, but as the runner-up for SouthPole's model search they have asked that I do a test shoot & I will be submitting the photos to them. I was sent $1000 worth of SouthPole merchandise & if you can't imagine that, this is what it looks like stacked on top of each other...

I couldn't believe all of the things they sent. I was more surprised by how great their skinny jeans were and how well they fit. And a lot of their clothing has changed. There weren't any embellishments or huge logos on the new skinny jeans which was a thumbs up!

The makeup for my shoot & styleing was done by www.CMichelleStyles.com. She did a great job if I don't say so myself! :D I'm really excited to see the photos and even more excited to see them go up on their Website, facebook page, and whatever other Social Media website they have. I will keep you all updated when the winners section & photos have been posted :) Thanx everyone for all of your support!


Me After My Shoot, A little tired & Hungry but still pretty alive :)

Kristen Nichole- DrumRoll Feat. Jwan (Lyrics)

Drumroll

JWAN:

Yeah, Finally Famous, F F, GrindHouse Waddup?
You can march through my heart, just don’t get lost in the field
Watch our love take off, cuz the cadence we play so real???
I don’t never wanna part, I’d rather just chill
I’d rather just build, I’d rather just build (We gets Busy)

Verse 1:

You’re a mayback Bentley windows tinted on the side, you’re the glare I often get in the center of my eye

I can be your property you make a renter wanna buy, boy you part of me not just another member in my life

Am I your fantasy? Cuz boy you half of me, that’s why I stick around, you keep attracting me,

And I can front though whenever your funds low

We can be a band of 2 so let the drumroll

Chorus:

Whenever you, ever you’re away from me (I gotta face the beat)

Whenever you, ever you wait for me ( You do it patiently)

Whenever you, ever you lay with me (My heart race the beat) got my heart beatin like a

Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Revive me, now I’m feeling so alive

Verse 2:

You’re a seven forty jet with a first class coach, feanin for your love and your record is my dope

I’m your boat off the atlantic shore keeping you afloat

Boy you’re part of me, you’re the signature to my note

Am I your fantasy? Cuz boy you half of me, that’s why I stick around, you keep atracting me,

And I can front though whenever your funds low

We can be a band of 2 so let the drumroll

Chorus:

Whenever you, ever you’re away from me (I gotta face the beat)

Whenever you, ever you wait for me ( You do it patiently)

Whenever you, ever you lay with me (My heart race the beat) got my heart beatin like a

Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Revive me, now I’m feeling so alive

JWAN:

I’m in it for you baby, ay, look
Wake up up, I don’t really wanna wake up up
We can fuss we can break up up, but we’re better off, so better off in love
And I ain’t tryna waste no time, hate when them hoes try to break our bond
Know you want a girl, I’m in you tryna find a face like yours with a name like mine
Never mind that hold up, oh why you say that You so nuts
Love when you make a ni*** make store runs, bring the bulls*** back get more love
That’s why I come right back so roped up, I put yo azz on my back let’s load up
Headed straight to the top, we can post up
I don’t even wanna think about no us, No

{Repeat Chorus}

I'm so grateful to make it to another year but most of all be in the position to finally be the change I want to be. 2009 gave me a lot of great experiences, new friends, and a new team "GRINDHOUSE TMG" who will be helping me bring to all of you the music you've been waiting for, starting with the release of my new single "DrumRoll" feat.

I really appreciate everyone who voted & supported! Whether you voted once or every day, I thank you :)
