When our partner agency Cima wanted our creative director at Matinee to take a young lifeguard named Wil at the local YMCA under his wing, it started out with a comedic battle of wills -- no pun intended. The ice broke when our director figured out the reason for the verbal sparring match when he simply asked, "Are you a Scorpio?" With the Zodiac sign in common, it wouldn't be long before Wil got the opportunity to exhbit the intensity, mystery and conviction that Scorpios are known for in his upcoming magazine editorial for FLINT. The raven haired 22-year-old is looking forward to moving his modeling career away from commercials and into the high-fashion stratosphere when college classes end in May. With looks that remind us of Al Pacino's right-hand man in "Scarface," we suggested to the FLINT creative team to bring that movie's Cuban lothario, "Manny Ribera," back to life in print! Wil is 6-foot-2. So, say hello to my not-so-little friend!

Maybe, it's more appropriate to say "Comrade with Arms" since new model Mikhail hails from Moscow but would much rather talk about the tattoos that adorn his shoulders and biceps. He's already sought out by major agencies in the United States and Europe with barely a solid month in the modeling business.

Hugh's All-American good looks ... Blonde hair, green eyes, gym-toned physique usually nabs clients looking for a Brad Pitt lookalike or a college football hero. Look for the Virgina native to appear on upcoming reenactments on "America's Most Wanted" trying help catch a few on the lam felons.

"Suddenly, Sinatra"

"Suddenly, Sinatra"
The boys of Matinee Model Management have always had a fondness for silver screen legends. This time "Ol' Blue Eyes" Frank Sinatra was the theme of the latest shoot for Mikhail, Bronson and Jeremy ... with the guys evoking shades of Frank from crooner to film noir private eye.

Photographer Anton Papich shot Washington Life Magazine's Fall 2008 editorial which featured high-end fashion from Prada, Gucci, Etro and Giorgio Armani ... all worn by Matinee's crowned editorial king.. the Norwegian Overlord fondly nicknamed "Lips" and otherwise known as Erik, who was double-featured in Washington, D.C. fashion pubs this month. Erik's also the main attraction in the current edition of Engaged! Magazine.
