EXTRA! 2010 MotorMavens @ Irwindale Overview

Irwindale, CA

(Update - removal of one model by request)

- This round of MotorMavens event was at the Toyota Irwindale Speedway. The event started on Friday 12/3 and continued to Saturday 12/4 for the grand finale. The big day Saturday was overshadowed by the uncharacteristic overcast and lingering clouds...

Nonetheless, the models and the photographers are still abundant relative to the size of the event. A rough estimate, there were about 25 - 30 models at various time and space intersections, considered a decent size of a show, even though there was a hope that more people would show up to increase the geo-population here.

We are very happy to see some of the brightest stars in the industry, but we have to admit that we also missed one of the great ones, namely Ashley Sarto, who we have not seen for a while. Hopefully she will come out more and we will see her more!

But we have some amazing captures here from the show!!

Raichelle Viado, red from head to toe... Good job!

Jewelyn, we have not met before, but we should have...

(She told us her name, but we will find it out later on...)

Jei Lynn, the always warm and personable and wonderful model!

Tara, in the hood... uh, this hoody hood...

Mariah Longo, we actually saw her at the Hankook booth in SEMA this year... But we failed to connect the dots... Need to get back to our model sighting training...

We really + really need to retrain our sighting skills...

Jeannie Bell was feeling experimental at that moment... Good job!

Uh, we totally did not get her name... This is beyond the failure of model sighting training 101... It's journalism 101...

Alicia Whitten and Kay Bae! What is peace + peace? Say cheese!!

Alexia Cortez is always photogenic, even during the night, harsh lighting condition, and super + super chilly...

Two gorgeous Monster Energy Drink models!

Another two gorgeous Monster Energy drink models, with Mayra Tinajero on the left and Melissa K on the right. Yes, it was that cold, even the energy drink could not save the hard standing models facing demanding customers for free drinks...
