"LAW OF THE JUNGLE" at The Standard Hotel, West Hollywood

We rocked the Standard in West Hollywood for the LA2Day Magazine Cover Shoot in the Jungle booked themed editorial photo spread. The dresses were beautifully hand painted and designed by Leila Hafzi.


It was fun shooting with Michael Freeby, Tomo Miyama, and the whole LA2Day crew, especially Jeremy Tarr.
My friends Evie and Pine stopped by, we ate at the diner, chilled by the pool, and
struck a pose wherever possible.

Why I LOVE Toms Shoes

I recently had the privilege of modeling the Fall Campaign for "TOMS SHOES" and it turned me on to a whole new way of shoe shopping.

The owner Blake Mycoskie started an innovative ONE FOR ONE Campaign allowing customers to purchase ONE pair of shoes AND donate ONE pair to a child in need at the same time!

You might have seen him on the ATT&T commercials talking about the progress his company has made in the past few years delivering thousands of shoes to children around the world.



It doesn't stop there, another reason why I LOVE TOMS SHOES is because they make the effort to offer Vegan alternatives with NO ANIMAL BYPRODUCTS and Microfiber insoles. I love their Vegan Wrap Boots so much I had to get a few pairs but, now I want them in every color!



You might spot me sporting the Gold Glitter Toms....I know I know but, I couldn't resist.


Talk about Socially, Environmentally, and Fashionably Conscious!

I'm honored they selected me to represent their company which has such a wonderful impact. TOMS SHOES also just collaborated with RALPH LAUREN on some chic Rugby footwear. In fact I'm not the only one who loves TOMS SHOES they have featured by Vogue, People, New York & LA Times, In Style, Lucky, Elle, GQ, Oprah, Nylon, W, TeenVogue, Time, US Weekly, Ok, Mens Health and many others. Brad Pitt, Kristen Stewart, Liv Tyler, Keira Knightley, Bono, Tobey Maguire, Brittney Murphy, Lindsey Lohan, and Scarlett Johansson all have shown their support and wear TOMS SHOES.

TOMS has given over 140,000* pairs of shoes to children in need through the One for One model. Because of your support, TOMS plans to give over 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world in 2009.

Diary of a Photoshoot: 13 Minutes Magazine Cover

We had a great time shooting the Thirteen Minutes Magazine cover for this month, Steve Kay the photographer is so lovely and fun to work with. We shot at the Red Pearl Kitchen on Melrose in Los Angeles. Diana Chan is by far one of my favorite stylist in L.A. She brought her trunks of treasures, gowns and clothing fit for a queen and all the glittery accessories to go with it. She has such a fabulous sense of style with an eye for fashion and modern glamour that made the shoot. Exclusive Artists Management provided the hair and makeup with celebrity hairstyist Larry Sims who poshed up my hair and has done some amazing work with Victoria and David Beckham and America's Next Top Model, hilarious guy with talent to match his personality. Su Han works wonders with asian skin and has some serious blending skills she used to glam me up, I love her work with Hayden Pannetierra, Estella Warren and Jaimie Presley. I am very pleased with the results and am happy to represent HAPA's and multiple cultures in the magazine, check out www.13minutesmag.com to order a copy.

Winner of Star Award at Asia Festival in Korea

Visiting Seoul Korea was wonderful and I had the opportunity to reunite with family who spoiled me with affection and delicious authentic Korean cuisine. The culture was so different but, the faces were familiar and it was very fulfilling to get back to my roots. It was so fantastic to participate in the awards show where 10 models from Korea, Japan, China, Phillipines, Uzbekistan, and the United States represented their countries. I was blessed to nominated and sponsored by the KMA and GMA.

I really enjoyed the Asia Model Festival Awards, and was honored to receive the Model Star award. The Korean Model Association, Eui-Sig Yang, SBS, DBC Holdings, Global One, as well as all of the sponsors made our stay very comfortable and exciting. The show was beautiful and the fashion of Blumarine, Jong-Sun, EXR, Ran Style & Lie Sang Bong was inspiring. I met so many beautiful and friendly models from around the world. I especially enjoyed meeting Iza Calzado, Ai Dai, Super Junior and Angel Agustin they were very sweet. I loved all of the performances and can’t wait to return! Some of the other winners of the night were Jo Ji Hoon, Han Ye Seul, Park Min Young and

Here is a short video of Todd Mitchell and I on the red carpet and on stage.

Celeste Thorson Diary of a Body Glove Surf Campaign

"Doing photo shoots in Thailand for the Body Glove Campaign was an amazing experience, and I received so much hospitality along the way. From the moment I landed, I had a wonderful welcoming greeting from the staff at the airport in Bangkok. The hot burst of air and balmy weather was sticky on my skin and it feels great to drink the moisture."

The wonderful Body Glove Thailand estate, a tropical, jungle enclave. Celeste Thorson & Daniel Ebsary Poster Entrance for Headquarters.





Daniel Ebsary, the Body Glove Male Model from Australia, was a great to work with and nothing short of a gentleman.

We celebrated the SongKran Water Festival, a cultural tradition to wash away bad luck with playful water fights for the Thai New Year. Families of all ages pour into the streets day and night, turning this 3 day custom into a water war, soaking random passer byers with excitement and wishing Happy New Year. We posted a fort in front of a popular Body Glove store with water bottles and super soakers in a busy promenade of people drenched in water and laughter. Dickson, Matt, Lloyd, Dream and the Body Glove Asia Team made it a fun and memorable experience.

We were soon off to the coast of Rayoong to shoot for the campaign. We stopped along the way to lunch at a beach front open air market on the sand. Savory clams and good company, we watched the waves and slurped from shells with a mouthwatering and unmistakably Thai seasoning. A polite baby elephant strolls along the shore. I go to meet her, shaking her long trunk, she is followed by her smiling owner. I purchase a bag of vegetables and she gently plucks them out of my hand one by one with her trunk gulping them in her mouth. Her mother appears in the distance staggering in the sand. We finally get to the hotel and with a quick workout, delicious Thai dinner and serenade of live music, it was the perfect recipe for a good nights sleep. We get up bright and early to catch the 5AM morning light.
