corey.jpg

Corey Matthew Saucier was born May 19, 1988 at the St. Joseph's hospital in downtown Houston, Texas. Raised in Spring, Texas, a suburb outside of Houston, Corey's extended family moved from California to Texas right before he was born.

Growing up the active type, Corey join numerous sporting teams from football to baseball and basketball along the way. He stuck with football and baseball up until his freshman year in college, where he attended Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. He then decided to focus all his time on academics -becoming a business management major in the McCoy Business School and having just finished his third year.

Prompted by the urging of friends, Corey put his studies on hold to give modeling a try. He bought himself a ticket to New York and started right away with AIG model management, who introduced him to most of the New York high profile agencies. He then met with DNA model management and from the beginning, felt a connection and decided that it was the "home" for him.

Now associated with DNA model management in New York, Corey is enjoying the industry and looks forward to any overcoming any obstacles in his way so that when he's older, he'll have many stories to tell his grandkids!

MODEL RADAR: JAMIE GUNNS

MAXIUM3.jpg

Stunningly beautiful, Jamie Gunns credits her unique background as the reason for her smoldering photographic presence-she's half English, a quarter Jamaican, and a quarter Asian Indian, which has blessed her with a tall frame, cinnamon skin, and deep captivating brown eyes. Born in South London, it was apparent from an early age that Jamie was destined for a life in front of the cameras-she was first scouted at the age of fourteen while on holiday in Spain with her family. A year later, she joined the books at Premier and started modeling part time. Within the first few months of castings and jobs, it quickly became apparent that Jamie's career in the modeling industry would be in fact, full time.

Most recently, Jamie has appeared in both the Roberto Cavelli campaign, shot by Ellen von Unwerth, and the Mariela Brioni campaign. In addition, she has appeared in some of the industry's best magazines, including Japanese Vogue, Tank, and Elle, working with photographers such as Ellen von Unwerth and Steven Klein. On the runway too, Jamie had an impressive breakout season-she walked for Betty Jackson, Boyd, and Michiko Koshino during London Fashion Week.

Jamie grew up loving art and painting, as is thankful that the modeling industry has continued to keep interesting and creative people around her. She still lives in South London, and when her modeling career slows down (which, with the way her career is going now, probably won't happen any time soon), Jamie is contemplating going to Art College or perhaps study fashion.

Some more pics of Jamie, including her MAXIM cover, after the jump.

Gisele Bundchen Hangs It Up

giselebundchen

It is rumored that Giselle Bundchen is leaving her lucrative deal with Victoria’s Secret to pursue other options.

According to The New York Post:

Gisele Bundchen is no longer wearing Victoria’s Secret. The Brazilian mannequin is giving up her wings as lead angel for the lingerie giant because it wouldn’t up her $5 million-a-year salary. Her sister, Patricia Bundchen, confirmed to Brazilian Web site Glamurana that contract talks had broken off. “Her demands were outrageous. She got a new lawyer who was unrealistic,” said a source. “Victoria’s Secret doesn’t care. They have five new hotter, younger girls debuting next year. And they won’t have to deal with any craziness.” Reps for Bundchen didn’t return e-mails. A rep for Victoria’s Secret declined comment.
