The Supermodels of Cuba
An elite group of Cuban high-fashion models are gracing magazine covers and appearing in commercials around the world
By James Suckling
Cuba is a land associated with music, sports, cinema, art, literature, architecture and, of course, cigars. Mention these subjects in the context of the Caribbean island and no one blinks an eye. They represent a positive association for Cuba in the minds of nearly everyone around the world, regardless of their politics. These national treasures have a romantic allure not duplicated anywhere the world: a uniqueness that speaks to the diverse heritage and culture of Cuba.
The world may also be on the verge of another realization, that Cuba has some of the world's most beautiful women. A small group of Cuban supermodels are traveling the world, working major fashion shows as well as posing for advertisements and doing fashion shoots for publications that are mostly located in Europe. They are making their mark in a global fashion industry that surpasses $160 billion in sales worldwide every year.
Cuba has always had a reputation for beautiful women, a vibrant mixture of Caribbean, African and European blood. But the idea of exporting one of the island's greatest assets has only recently come into vogue. It's also a key piece of evidence that Cuba is opening up to the world, creating new economic opportunities that savvy businessmen are capitalizing on in a number of industries. What's more, they see the country's cultural resources as equally valuable currencies, just like the more traditional exports of sugar or cigars. Finally, the world is discovering what English author Graham Greene once observed: "Living in Havana was like living in a factory that produced human beauty on an assembly line." Why shouldn't the island promote one of its most obvious riches?
"The talent is all here, it is just a question of packaging it and marketing it," says Canadian Dean Bornstein, the president of The Havana Production Co. Through a subsidiary of his Toronto-based company, he represents more than 75 of the island's hottest models, including a handful who work overseas. Bornstein recently established offices in Havana for his company, which is already on its way to becoming the premier film, television, music and fashion production company on the island. "We can do it all right here in Cuba and we don't have to go anywhere," he says.
Bornstein hopes to do for Cuba's best models and its fledgling fashion industry what Ry Cooder did for the island's music over the past five years. Few people had ever heard of The Buena Vista Social Club, or Compay Segundo. But today, in the wake of Cooder's excellent documentary and the film's soundtrack, the band and its key guitarist and vocalist have become household words. Dozens of other Cuban musical acts, from the salsa kings Los Van Van to the jazz and hip-hop star X Alfonso, have signed with record companies around the world. They have even toured the United States under cultural exchange programs with the U.S. government. Until recently, such programs were unthinkable due to the trade embargo against Cuba, but that's all changing. Bornstein is in discussions with a major international fashion company to design and produce a line of Cuban clothes, and that too, should add to the panache of the local industry.
According to Bornstein, Cuba's supermodels have never officially worked in the United States, due to difficulties associated with the embargo. This could change in the future, but he said that for now, it's legally impossible.
Trudi Tapscott, the bookings editor of fashion shoots at Vogue magazine in New York, says, "It's a problem for us. European scouts are welcome to go to Cuba. I'm anxious to see it open up, just as I was for the Iron Curtain to fall. We're just in an unfortunate situation." During the Cold War, Tapscott says, agencies found ways to get beautiful models out into the West to work. "If a great Cuban girl walked through the door, we'd jump on it. Five years from now, maybe two years, things will be different, I hope," she adds.
Tapscott also says that beauty standards in the fashion world have changed in the last few years, moving away from a more waifish Eastern European look to the more full-figured Latin look, a trend that favors the Cubans. "A healthy body image is better for everyone. Leaders like Jennifer Lopez will help change that," she says.
Annie Veltri, the president of T Management, a modeling agency in New York, is also quick to praise the Cuban look. "They are beautiful, beautiful girls. I would absolutely use them if they came walking through the door," Veltri says. "But it's just too difficult. We don't even scout there. We can't go there. And it's just too hard to go through the full sponsorship thing to get them a visa to work here. I mean, I can't even go there legally. So, we don't really think about them." Veltri adds that she knows the European agencies do scout in Cuba.
Despite the de facto prohibition on the Cuban models working in America, many have already found work in Europe, particularly in France, Italy and Germany. And in the coming months, Bornstein says that many of the supermodels will be working in Cuba on a range of projects, from a spy thriller pilot for television in both Spanish and English to fashion shoots with various clothes companies as well as catalogs and magazines.
Bornstein certainly has high hopes that the situation preventing Cuban models from working in the United States will change. "Anything Latin American is hot right now in the fashion world," he says. "And Cubans have a special look, a special style." Jared Paul Stern, who covers the world of fashion in a New York newspaper column, says that Latin American models in general have been quite popular, especially Brazilians such as Gisele Bundchen. "Latin American models tend to look healthier than those pale, bony Eastern European models," he explains. "Fuller figures and tan skin are making a comeback."
Bornstein admits that only a handful of the women (a number of whom are pictured in these pages) can be considered Cuba's supermodels. "They are the ones that get the best jobs," says Bornstein. "The big jobs are abroad, but we can organize it all from Havana."
No one would discuss how much a Cuban supermodel makes for a job, since the fees vary from acting in a new music video to a catalog shoot or magazine spread. But Bornstein says that they are paid comparably to other international models. In general, the lowest rate for fashion shoots starts at about $1,250 a day for a commercial job and much less for editorial work. But those fees bear no relation to the money paid to the world's top models, which can start at around $10,000 and go up into the tens of thousands for every day worked. Bornstein did say that fashion shoots are the most profitable. "Of course, they are not making the money a London-, Milan- or New Yorkñbased model might, but they will some day," he says. "It was the same with Miami not that long ago. There is huge potential here."
What Cuban models do make is divided with the government, a fact of life for almost all Cubans who gain permission to work overseas. But Bornstein argues that it's the same thing as workers paying taxes in any country in the world. "It's no different than anywhere else," says Bornstein. "It's just like models in the United States who have to pay taxes." He would not disclose the exact percentages that his clients must give the government.
Serious modeling in Cuba had humble beginnings. In the early 1990s, a restaurant called La Maison in the Miramar area of Havana held regular fashion shows for clients on selected evenings. It was simple fare. Models had to wear badly designed clothes from local designers in front of sometimes less than appreciative onlookers. But it was a start, and the godmother of Cuban fashion, Grisel Labrada, 36, did the best she could, scouting for local talent as well as organizing all the shows.
Eventually, she attracted some attention from European fashion scouts, and built an admirable client list of fashion firms and magazines by the late 1990s. She feels that modeling and fashion in Cuba recently has risen to a more professional level. In the past, work was primarily handled on a freelance basis where the women were hired by European-based agencies through Labrada. "They are much happier to be working with an agency in Havana," she says. "So they should do better work."
Bornstein said that one of the most refreshing aspects of working with the Cuban supermodels is their attitudes. "They are really appreciative of the work," he says. "They are easy to work with compared to other models. I found many other models, whether American, English or whatever, very difficult. They are used to everyone filling their heads with nonsense, so they can be difficult to work with. It's all fresh and easy here in Havana."
In late February, at the Fifth Anniversary Cigar Festival in Havana, a thousand people attending the gala dinner caught a glimpse of what the Cuban supermodels are all about. Before the supermodels hit the runway, the mostly European crowd was already entranced with the exhibition of Cuban beauty. Slinky Afro-Cuban, mulatto and Caucasian models strutted down the runway, which was set up in a government protocol house in the Siboney area of Havana, and the eyes of the diners were firmly glued to the women's every move.
The backdrop to the runway comprised large painted murals of tobacco plantations in the Vuelta Abajo, the legendary tobacco region of Cuba. It all seemed slightly surreal, looking at the tobacco scene and then at the hot Cuban models.
Some of the clothes were haute-couture designs from Christian Dior and Maurizio Galante as well as more simple efforts from Cuban designers. But the sense of anticipation in the crowd was high. "Wait until the supermodels come out," said Bornstein, a few seconds before they came onstage. "They are going to own this place."
One after another, the models energetically strutted and swaggered down the catwalk -- Carla Paneca Fernández, Dayrein Aba Estevez, Yamila Coba and Yoandra Suarez Borrego. Their entrance electrified the room. The audience, both men and women, stared in awe. They vigorously applauded for each woman.
A 5-foot, 9-inch brunette, Paneca Fernández was obviously the crowd's favorite. A former Miss Model of the World, the 23-year-old carried herself with a sassy sophistication that would have easily been the right attitude for walking down Fifth Avenue in New York or New Bond Street in London. The black crepe, off-the-shoulder top with an above-the-knee, pleated, black see-through silk skirt (all Dior) fit her body like a Tiffany's gift box holding a perfect five-carat solitaire diamond ring. The crowd roared with approval as she spun on the end of the catwalk and strolled back to the entrance.
"It was as if we were not in Cuba," said one American who attended the fashion dinner as he smoked a Romeo y Julieta Churchill. "I have never seen anything like it before on the island."
This is just the beginning, according to Bornstein. The supermodels are now organized in Havana and eager to work. And, as Veltri in New York says, the world is ready for them. The women are ready, too.
"We are proud to be Cubans, and we believe that we have something different to offer the fashion world," Paneca Fernández says a few hours before the show in Bornstein's office in Old Havana. "Why would someone want to go to Miami and use models there when they can have the real thing in Havana?"
There will be many in the entertainment field, etc. viewing Blond and Blonder due to the help from Bob Clark in directing his last film before his death in April of 07.

Any info "intheknownyc" or anyone; will we be hearing more about Supermodels in the Rainforest Volume II and III that are currently in post-production? TIA
From Empire's web site:
Mr. Hamilton created, Executive Produced and Directed The "Supermodels in the Rainforest’ series. Volume II and III are currently in post-production and were filmed in the Amazon, as well as several other unique and exotic locations in Venezuela with high profile supermodels. "Supermodels in the Rainforest" - Vol. I won "Best Documentary" in the "Film and Video Division" at the prestigious "1994 WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival" and won "Best Independent Video" at the Charleston Film Festival. Volume I was filmed in Costa Rica, in the nationally protected Rainforests. Some of the models that have lent their support to the series include Tyra Banks, Frederique Van Der Wal, Carol Alt, Stacey Williams, Rebecca Romijin and Judit Masco. A Cable Special, Soundtrack, Video, Website, Calendar, Screensaver, DVD, Enhanced CD ROM and Laser Disc were produced.
So, now that we have two sites; which one should we be using, this IHUB site or the original IHUB site?
Empire Film Group's new website looks great; Bornstein and Townsend have many businesses. Dean Bornstein has quite a few as discussed on the other board, and I found Jim Townsend of Summit Crest Productions and also JT Productions.
From the new website:
PRODUCTION

Ise Blu Equity Corp Subsidiary L.G.N. Entertainment Distribution and Select-O-Hits Announces the Release of Jamaican Icon "Sizzla" New Album "Addicted" With MBIG Entertainment
Ise Blu Equity Corp. (PINKSHEETS: ISBL) subsidiary L.G.N. Entertainment Distribution, Inc. www.LgnEntertainment.com an independent distributor of music, video, movies and DVD, announces the release date for reggae icon Sizzla has been slated for January 15, 2008.
Sizzla is one of the most prolific leaders of the conscious Reggae dancehall movement. Emerging in the later half of the 90s, he helped lead dancehall back to the musical and spiritual influence of roots reggae and heavily Rastafarian subject matter. He was born Miguel Collins on April 17, 1976 in St. Mary, and was raised in the community of August Town in St. Andrew by devout Rastafarian parents. He began his career in the music industry in his early teenage years. After honing his vocal skills, he landed a gig with the Caveman Hi-Fi sound system, where he first made a name for himself as a performer. He cut his first single for the small Zagalou label in 1995, and soon moved on to Fattis 'Exterminator' Burrell. Extensive touring with fellow roots and culture artist Luciano followed, earning Sizzla critical acclaim. Working with Fattis marked an important turning point for Sizzla. A run of successful singles led to the release of Sizzla's debut album, "Burning Up" (RAS). The alliance again proved fruitful a year later with the follow-up, "Praise Ye Jah" (JetStar).
Securing his position as a top conscious reggae artist, he set about cultivating his role as a spiritual messenger. Sizzla's combination of Rasta principles and up-to-the-minute dancehall rhythms made his hard line approach more palatable. A brilliant and passionate performer, Sizzla broke boundaries, appealing to those looking for something new, music with depth. His major breakthrough came with the release in 1997 of the now classic album, "Black Woman and Child" (Greensleeves) and then "Good Ways" (Brickwall) in 1998 both produced by Bobby 'Digital' Dixon. Along with universal praise came Sizzla's first nomination for Best International Reggae Artist of the Year at the 1998 MOBO Awards and a place in various magazines' top 100 albums of the year. Sizzla has released over 45 impressive solo albums and over fifteen combination albums, crossing different genres of Reggae. He also had started his own company Kalonji Records; this set the mark of his growth not only as a great reggae artist but also a record label executive and businessman. In a joint venture with Kalonji Records, "The Overstanding" was released in November 2006 with Damon Dash Music Group and KOCH Records. This was his third album released through Kalonji Records; as well as "Black History" and "Life."
"We believe that his project will be a huge release for LGN and we are excited about all the possibilities. Sizzla is a veteran artist and continues to be successful. With over 45 albums released and still going strong, we feel that this project may have sales of 200,000 units or more," stated Steve Lane President of Ise Blu Equity Corp.
Loren Marketing has withdrawn from the Letter of Intent agreed to in October, without further consultation with LGN and after the contract had been drafted and offered for review. In a letter received from Loren Marketing addressed to Ise Blu Equity Corp. President Steve Lane, Denise Loren CEO of Loren Marketing wrote:
"As I have mentioned to you before Nick and I really want to focus on the two projects already at hand (Let's Make It Real Album and Dog-On Television). The distribution deal Loren Entertainment has in place with LGN/SOH is our priority right now and we do not wish to focus on anything else, including Loren Marketing. As of today we are closing down Loren Marketing. We appreciate everyone's help in trying to get the company going, but it is proving to be too large of a task for us at this time. Therefore, the contract and letter of intent are being turned down and Loren Entertainment will continue business as usual with LGN/SOH."
"We had been advised late Monday, that we would receive a letter requesting an extension of the closing date so this letter came as a substantial surprise to us," stated Steve Lane. "We will continue in our acquisition mode and thank the Loren's for their honesty. We offer our apologies to our shareholders' for not completing this deal. We very much dislike even making press releases on letters of intent although we have closed almost all deals that have had such letters, this time we failed," Lane continued.
The new web site for Ise Blu will be operational before the 1st of December and may be available around Thanksgiving. The site will include a Company blog where shareholders can be updated without constant press releases. Shareholders will also be able to sign up for automatic distribution of press releases and be able to contact the Company plus links to our subsidiary sites, financial statements, and other current technology items.

ISBL: The last time ISBL was on the front page, it skyrocked within a few days to .017; now it's on watch again. This selloff is a great time to buy; no bad news, Loren Entertainment will continue business as usual and it's all good for ISBL, and now with this next PR that is expected this week, possibly early next week, and so much more in the pipeline, do your DD, IMO.

Ise Blu Equity Corp Subsidiary L.G.N. Entertainment Distribution and Select-O-Hits Announces the Release of Jamaican Icon "Sizzla" New Album "Addicted" With MBIG Entertainment
Ise Blu Equity Corp. (PINKSHEETS: ISBL) subsidiary L.G.N. Entertainment Distribution, Inc. www.LgnEntertainment.com an independent distributor of music, video, movies and DVD, announces the release date for reggae icon Sizzla has been slated for January 15, 2008.
Sizzla is one of the most prolific leaders of the conscious Reggae dancehall movement. Emerging in the later half of the 90s, he helped lead dancehall back to the musical and spiritual influence of roots reggae and heavily Rastafarian subject matter. He was born Miguel Collins on April 17, 1976 in St. Mary, and was raised in the community of August Town in St. Andrew by devout Rastafarian parents. He began his career in the music industry in his early teenage years. After honing his vocal skills, he landed a gig with the Caveman Hi-Fi sound system, where he first made a name for himself as a performer. He cut his first single for the small Zagalou label in 1995, and soon moved on to Fattis 'Exterminator' Burrell. Extensive touring with fellow roots and culture artist Luciano followed, earning Sizzla critical acclaim. Working with Fattis marked an important turning point for Sizzla. A run of successful singles led to the release of Sizzla's debut album, "Burning Up" (RAS). The alliance again proved fruitful a year later with the follow-up, "Praise Ye Jah" (JetStar).
Securing his position as a top conscious reggae artist, he set about cultivating his role as a spiritual messenger. Sizzla's combination of Rasta principles and up-to-the-minute dancehall rhythms made his hard line approach more palatable. A brilliant and passionate performer, Sizzla broke boundaries, appealing to those looking for something new, music with depth. His major breakthrough came with the release in 1997 of the now classic album, "Black Woman and Child" (Greensleeves) and then "Good Ways" (Brickwall) in 1998 both produced by Bobby 'Digital' Dixon. Along with universal praise came Sizzla's first nomination for Best International Reggae Artist of the Year at the 1998 MOBO Awards and a place in various magazines' top 100 albums of the year.

You can check my posts ... everything I have said has happened. I know there is another PR tomorrow or Friday. I'm not trying to predict the PPS I am trying to communicate that this company isn't some false POS like many might think. No ... I am NOT affiliated with them. I have my own job. I'm not counseling ANYONE to buy ... just patience. Compare today with October 9th give it a day or to.
This information is for shareholders and does NOT recommend BUY , SALE or HOLD ...
G, have you heard anything about a possible dividend for shareholders to get us off the SHO listing?
Thanks Kramrer; how many MM's at .006 please.
My alphatrade isn't working; anyone have the current bids and asks? TIA
That is so funny diggler; great job. LOL
I'm sorry for your loss TT, it's a very difficult time for you and your family, and I am keeping all of you in my prayers.
G, sounds great; thankyou for your opinion.
With so much in the pipeline, this is the perfect opportunity to pick up shares of ISBL, and news could come after hours like in the past.
Good Morning everyone
ISBL; news coming soon and more
Nick Loren has 862 friends on myspace, Lets Make it Real has played 4472 times, and his profile viewed 6086, and just began promoting ISBL on his site, and the acquisition should close this week; then his many friends like John Trivolta will be spreading the word. This is the time to load up; these cheap prices won't last long, IMO.

Let it go up slowly, then we won't have any pullback; when news comes it take off. 03's coming.
ISBL The .006's hold well; lots of accumulation in this area; keep it on watch for big moves ahead.
THINK SPRING $$$$$$$$$$$$
It's fine the way it is; watch slowly but surely.
There holding it back from running and accumulating at .006 and .0065.
And it won't stop there; this is just the beginning of a life changer; think spring.
Strong accumulation happening at this level.
Party time; lots of excitement here.
G, any guess as to when pinksheets will be updated.
From the last ISBL PR:
The acquisition is expected to close on or before November 2, 2007.
Great pick; no disappointment; reversal soon.
