Model Sighting: Samara Martins

I popped in to Manhattan last night to surprise a friend of mine who was hosting a new store opening and fashion show on Canal street, called Outerspace. It was a modest affair with an open bar and giveaways. My muse and Spicy Magazine cover model Marlene, was excited to see me. However, when the first model appeared for the start of the fashion show, I quickly realized I was not prepared, camera-wise.

That model on the makeshift runway, was 17 year old Samara Martins from Newark, NJ. I've seen her recently but had yet to see her in person. Now having seen her in the flesh, I'd be willing to bet Samara could reach stratospheric heights... with the right coaching and guidance. Her beauty is unquestionable. Not surprisingly, her manager told me she was recently signed to IMG Models here in New York and has aspirations of becoming a Victoria Secret model. Did I mention she's chock full of Brazilian heritage? Unfortunately, without the right gear, this is all I got, but here's a few photos I grabbed with my iphone from the event.
