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]

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]

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]

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]
