Hoodie Pix

One of my bestest childhood friend’s (Maureen) husband, Jaymer, snapped these shots for me a while back in San Francisco. He’s taken up photography and does a really good job…and gets better with every shoot! I think these are from back in February 2009.

I hadn’t posted them and now, looking back at them, I really like my hoodie in the shot, courtesy of Roselle at Nalej in Santa Clara. I think the thing I need to work on is my “pop-out” eyes issue…they get so big when I take pix! lol

Picture Perfect

I recently did what turned out to be an amazing photo shoot with a “student” photographer India Jackson. She may still be learning, but I think she’s already very capable of hanging with the pro’s! We met through a mutual friend, she liked my look and asked if she could shoot some shots of me for her portfolio…I thought it’d be fun and I am very pleased with how fabulous the pictures look. Below are some shots form the shoot, I’ll add them to my gallery once I get the rest of the shots! Also, see a blog she wrote about me here: http://blog.indiajackson.com/2009/09/25/sexy-news-reporter-aubrey-aquino/

An “early morning” look…

Fuerza Bruta

“Fuerza Bruta” is getting lots of notice in Miami. The best way to explain it is, it’s a SHOW…music, dance, imagination, real life, just very CREATIVE! It is from Argentina and has traveled the world… Last week I was lucky enough to be part of it, well sort of…I got an exclusive chance to learn the “mylar” portion of the show with cast members. It’s basically sliding and floating around in a shallow pool of water with a clear bottom so the audience looks up at you – they even put me in official “Fuerza Bruta” costume! 😀 Let me tell you…that was CRAZY!! It was very intimidating since I saw the show prior to my participation and didn’t know what to expect, but the ladies put me at ease and showed me how to flow and push my hips to glide along in the water! The funniest part was having to put my face in the water and open my eyes…I just kept thinking…I’m wearing contacts! haha Then all that falling and smashing against the mylar floor to make noise. I think I got a little whiplash with a headache, since I’m not used to falling on my face and it is pretty intense when it’s all new to you! All in all it was so much fun and I felt very privileged to be the only press person to experience it first hand…plus it is a great, FUN show..I highly recommend it! http://fuerzabruta.com

Happenstance Designs

My baby sister Alison aka bologna popped up on a blog in this “bridal” look…she’s SO CUTE!! It’s sort of weird to see my kid sister in this setting, but she’s helping out her friend Clarice who does these great wedding-themed creations as seen on her site Happenstance Designs! Congrats to bologna and Clarice…great work ladies!!

I Hear a Symphony

I talk with the composer, Sam Hyken, of a downtown Miami rooftop Symphony at 900 Biscayne. The music is great, he combines contemporary hip hop, latin, funk, etc…with live (orchestra) instruments played live on top of the tracks! The event was put on by the Friends of the New World Symphony in Miami.

Market Street – SF

 

If you are walking down Market Street in San Francisco…look out for posters that my sister (Adrienne) designed. There are 6 different designs, 24 posters total that are displayed in the kiosks down Market Street. She says they start out around 7th Street by Fox Plaza and Starbucks.

The posters are celebrating the 15 year anniversary of WritersCorps, a non-profit organization that Adrienne has been working with for a few years now. Visit her site at http://adrienneaquino.com/editorial.html
