FROM THE EDITOR... Dave Stabley Editor / PublisherTEENS IN OUR MIDSTWelcome to the July issue of NM CliQ Magazine. This edition will be a little different from the previous three in that, we will focus exclusively on TEENS who areattempting to create a presence in the world of modeling.The lure of posing for glamorous magazine covers, wearing haute couture fashions,strutting the runways of international fashion events, and being the subject of publicadulation is incredibly tantalizing! Getting there however, is VERY difficult.Let me just say that shooting a few selfies, or having a friend take some cell phone pixof you, and posting them on a Facebook page that says you are now a model, does NOTmake you a “real” model. No matter how good looking you may be, there is a lot moreto it than that!Professional modeling is an extremely difficult industry to break in to at any age...andeven more so as a teenager. Great looks are only the starting point - sort of a minimumrequirement for entry. Then, as with any other professional career choice, modelingrequires specialized training, skills, and practice to achieve any reasonable level ofcompetency.The teens presented in this issue are making that effort. Most are at the very beginningof a long, hard road, but they are doing it the right way: they are networking with localphotographers, meeting other models, and doing collaborative shoots to gain someskills and insights. Now, in addition to all that, they are PUBLISHED.To the TEENS who are making this journey, I say, “Give it the very best effort you can, andstrive to achieve the loftiest goals you can envision for yourself. Remember, whetheryou believe you can, or you believe you can’t, either way, you are correct.”Thanks. Till next month,Editor / Publisher6 NM CliQ Magazine | July 2015

My name is Emily Zumwalt, I’m a 17 year oldmodel in Abq, NM. The following subject is veryclose to my heart, so I request for everyone toread with an open mind.In society, body image has always been an is-sue. Men and women of all shapes and sizes havestruggled with self-esteem caused by “bodyshaming”. I have personally struggled with see-ing my body in a positive way, always thinkingthat I have to change myself to be successful inthe modeling industry. As my career has slowlygrown, my confidence has improved greatly. I’verealized that the more I love myself for who I am,the happier I am and the better my pictures turnout.Body shaming can hurt anyone, whether or notyou are big, small, medium, short or tall...it isall unique and gorgeous in your own way. Yourbody is your temple, and every flaw makes youwho you are. I believe that today, body shamingis occurring less and less, but it’s still there espe-cially in the world of modeling. Different bodytypes speak to different people, which is why Ithink that you should not feel like you have tochange yourself to please society, but if you feelthe need to change yourself for you and yourhappiness, all the power to you.Know that you are who you are, and that’s justfine!
