Today we introduce a new editorial feature on Girl2Watch called Rapid Fire. We will ask each Girl to finish the beginning of a sentence we provide. They will have only mere milli-seconds to provide a response, so these answers will come straight from their unconscious, unencumbered by oppressive societal conventions and the insidious forces of excessive politeness. Enjoy! My motto is… to go... [Read more]
For Women: The major trends for 2010 are definitely personalizing everything that you see on the runway. Beautiful bright colors for spring/summerare going to be everywhere. Almost all the designers that I saw for spring/summer 2010 used bold colors. They used reds, and fuschias, and greens and yellows. I think those type of bold statements and making them your own are going to be the hottest... [Read more]
Getting The Shield was amazing. When I first got that part, I was only supposed to do one episode, and then one of the producers called me was like, “Hey, do you want to stick around for a while?” That phone call was surreal. Oh man, I learned not to be a selfish actor on that show. From the first moment I had heard about the show to flying myself out there for the audition, and fighting really... [Read more]
Guiding Light came at a time in my life where it was literally a godsend. I had had a dry spell for a long time. At the time, I’m not even exaggerating – I probably had four jobs just to be able to audition during the day. And that was my life for almost four years. When Guiding Light came along, it was the opportunity to have a 9 -5 secure job where I would be acting and it was just incredible.... [Read more]
photographer Jose Amigo I did a lot of commercials early on, and I remember the first I ever got was for a product called Funyuns. I had to eat these chips for like 12 hours straight and I remember them passing around what was called a spit bucket. In the beginning I was like, “Oh! These are actually really good. I don’t have to spit them out.” But by the second hour, I was like, “Oh,... [Read more]
I grew up in New York until I was five and then I went to Colombia. I was there for four or five years. It’s probably the best decision my mom had ever made. I went to school on a farm and most of the science, and math and reading was done outside in nature. So I pretty much learned outside. Instead of playing tennis or whatever, we rode horses and we swam in the river. It was just a pretty,... [Read more]

Mun2 falls under the NBC Universal umbrella and it’s a very, very cool idea and network in that it really embraces all cultures.

“People tell me being a perfectionist is a fault, but I find that’s what drives me,” says Paula Garces. You may already know Paula from her stand-out work on Guiding Light and The Shield, but that perfectionist drive has empowered her to create her own new fashion and style show called The mun2 Look, which debuted just last week on the NBC channel mun2. A native of Colombia, Paula has a... [Read more]
Our producers told us – “Okay guys, you guys got kind of clowned on Saturday Night Live.” We were like, “What?” So that was how we found out. I never saw it on TV, I saw it online. I thought it was hilarious. I had no idea – I was like “I can’t believe they’re making fun of us.” It was funny. I didn’t even think that we were such a staple to even being made fun... [Read more]
Terrence is like my best friend, my brother. We came in this to the whole same situation with the new face search, kind of being off the street and never doing television before. So we both came in together and we have a great respect for each other and we hang out. We’re genuine friends. What happened was Terrence and I never had a vacation for the first two years that we worked on 106. So... [Read more]
The first time I went down there I cried. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I was sad because I could still see the water line on the buildings. You could smell it in the air, the mildew. We’re very spiritual people down there in New Orleans. You could smell the death, that’s what we would say. And it was scary, very eerie. I would go and tour the houses and just cry. I have a non-profit... [Read more]
I was just a college student in Dallas, Texas. I was listening to the radio and I heard they were doing donations for Hurricane Andrew at a radio station and they were doing a clothing drive. So I gathered up a whole bunch of my clothes, went down to the radio station to turn it in, and I was just like, “Are you guys hiring? This looks like something interesting to do, work at a radio station.”... [Read more]
I lived in Honduras until I was three, but I went back every summer for break. Down south your summer break is usually about three months, and so we would be back in Honduras and then come back and go to school in the states, but summer vacations in Honduras. That was until I was like 13, 14. I guess you would compare it to living on a ranch in Texas somewhere, because we had a farm and it had... [Read more]
New Orleans is a carefree city that you come encounter and it’s all about having fun and enjoying yourself. If you’re a tourist or not, you can spend one whole night hanging out on the streets and just having fun. It’s another world – it’s always been like that. I grew up in a single family home. My mother and my three brothers, and it was just really focused – do good in school,... [Read more]
