Amanda Torrance, Part 5

If Priscila Monroe was my first “model crush,” then Amanda was my second. The adorable Amanda was always a familiar face in the old Kohl’s ads. She must have worked for Kohl’s more than any other model!

Priscila Favaro Monroe

Priscila never imagined she would be a model. She was studying civil engineering in Brazil when a modeling scout discovered her. She moved to Miami Beach in 2001 and quickly became a common face on ads, commercials, and magazine covers. Her many clients included major retailers like Kohl’s, Belk, Gap, JCrew, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Hanes, Dillards, Lilly Pulitzer, and Lands End, and others.

Priscila holds a special place in my heart as my first model crush. I first discovered her in ads for Kohl’s all the way back in 2003. She calls modeling an “amazing job” and I call her a beautiful, amazing woman. I wish her the best and all my love.

Cassie Ventura

For most of you Cassie needs no introduction. She’s a popular R&B/hip-hop singer with a host of fans. She also modeled for major department stores back in 2005 and 2006 while her music career was just starting to take off.

We’ve always loved these pictures of this cute young model, but only recently discovered her as Cassandra Ventura, aka Cassie.
