I'm Grace Gabbana. Before anything else, I want to share with you some quotes that exemplify my philosophy in life:

"Events will take their course, it does no good being angry about them; he who is happiest wisely turns them to the best account."
-- Euripides

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes."
-- William James

"Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody."
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."
-- Lao Tzu

Those are some of the words I live by. I believe these quotes are extremely relevent not only to the modeling industry, but also to success. I am extroardinarily, and surpassingly passionate about modeling. I have several other passions in life inluding acting, singing, writing, and art. Modeling, like my other passions, is an area in my life in which I improve and excell at exponentially. I am a consummate professional, and while I am boisterous and insouciant, I take my job very seriously. I am commited to achieving high quality finished pruducts. In other industry professionals who I work with, I value talent, excellence, punctuality, forthrightness, and accountability. I have encountered few that claimed to have the integrity I value, who in fact, posessed zero integrity. My advice to new models is to avoid photographers who sound like salesmen. People of great integrity, talent, and power will spend more time "doing" what they are passionate about, then they do "speaking" about what they have accomplished, and who they know. Life will always be full of profligate individuals with ulterior motives, but having the strength separate yourself from those who wish to exploit your hopes and dreams, and instead, attaching yourself to those who exude moral fiber, is the most precious asset one can posess.

Currently, I am enjoying my reign as "Miss Mark & Brian 2009", along with a year of paid appearances as the official spokesmodel for the "Mark & Brian Show" on 95.5 KLOS. I have appeared and been featured in several local and global publications. I work with Umbrella Girls USA on a regular basis for clients such as NASCAR, TOYOTA Racing, Infineon Raceway, GEICO Powersports, Buell Sport Bikes - The Official Pace and Safety Bike of AMA, and Richard Morris Racing. Additionally, I work on an independent basis with MTV's Parental Control, Glam/rock band Sweet Cyanide, Odyssey Ent., Gold Rush Rally, Lucas Oil, and Versus Cycles. Appearances on television networks including MTV, ABC, NBC, TNT, The Speed Network, Sprint Vision, and MAV TV. Catalog and commercial print work for clothing companies including D'amore by Marceau, ZOE Bikini, Ayer Clothing Company, LOTEK, Black Rain Clothing, JUM7, Adrenaline Denim, Crystal Nation, and Rag Poets.

I appreciate beauty, and I see it in every person, place, and situation I encounter. I see beauty in the undefineable. My ability to envision a beautiful world is what defines me, and fulfills me. I look forward to creating more of it with talented individuals who also have the ability to see beauty all around them.
