Lauren Teter: The New "IT" Girl

While there are many misconceptions about models, the one mentioned by Teter seems to be common and untrue.

Last year was the start of Teter’s modeling career, followed by a string of accomplishments—including signing with Ford after being an emerging model with Phoenix Fashion Week for the first time.

“It’s hard to pick a top three because I loved all of the designers I walked for,” Teter said.” But if I had to pick it would be Bri Bridge, Briana Linea and Encolor.”

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Teter is a freshman at The University of Arizona studying pre-business. She purses modeling on the side, hoping to participate in new events and shows, as well as always being a part of the fashion world whether it’s through business or modeling.

“I love the fashion world, it is a crazy industry and you always have to remember to follow your dreams,” Teter said. “It has evolved so much over the years and is constantly changing. The fashion industry sets styles for the world. It is so cool to be a part of that.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Lauren Teter back in November 2008 during my yearly Rioux Leroux: Runway For A Cause event, where she totally rocked Phoenix Fashion Designer Trish Martin's Punkouture clothing line. Lauren has this presence and look about her that I know will make her the next big thing. You will be seeing a lot more of her if I have anything to do with it! Watch!

I love the fact that she is a REAL person who just loves to model. Nowadays, models think they have to be a certain way because of society or totally put on a fasad to hide who they are because they are scared of being accepted. I learn that when you be yourself and stop pretending to be something that you are not, you stand out a hell of a lot more because you are an INDIVIDUAL! Stay true to you, if people don't like it, than so be it- they don't deserve to know you.

Little Red Radio Interview

Faux Fawaz Ent. Presents: Little Red Radio

By: Anthony Leroux

Leroux: How did you come up with the name Little Red Radio?

LRR- After a few other names.. it came down to "Little Red Stereo" and "Little Red Radio".. and the "Little Red Radio" flows much better.

Leroux: Who would you say is the most fun during an actual show on stage?? Offstage? In bed?

LRR- We are all equally fun on and off stage.

Leroux: Do you guys have any nicknames for each other? How did they come about?

LRR- We all have nicknames but they change throughout the time of being with each other. The names come about because of who we are as individuals and some just making fun of each other.. just to have a good laugh.

Leroux: What is your favorite food to eat? Favorite restaurant?

LRR- chicken...

Leroux: Do you have any rituals you partake in before going onstage? Offstage?

LRR- drink aaaand drink.. haha. We like to just get loose and have a blast on and off stage.

Leroux: Can you tell me what show hit for you and made you realize that you are actually a band? Why?

LRR- Our first show as a full band at the Silverlake Lounge here in the Hollywood/Silverlake area. The show was on June 3, 2008.

Leroux: Do you have any fears? What are they?

LRR- Lara looooves cockroaches..

Leroux: Paper or plastic?

LRR- whatever is easiest, but are you asking if we are echo-friendly? Yes as best we can.

Leroux: What is it like being the only girl in the band? Would you have it any other way?

LRR- Fun and no way. It's perfect.

Leroux: What's in store for LRR in the future? Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

LRR- New songs and an EP. Tons of touring and playing shows! We love the live feel and having a blast with our fans, friends and family. In 5 years we hope to be as big as we can in regards to living "the dream" with a great team behind us and being able to successfully tour the world and having a blast with all our fans at our shows.

Leroux: What does your family think of what you are doing musically? Are they for it? Against it? Don't care?

LRR- All of our families are very proud and excited for us. And we are all very lucky to have such a great support system around what we are doing with all of our families and friends.

Leroux: Where would you like to play a show next? Which artist would you want to work it in the studio? Which onstage?

LRR- Anywhere Europe, and because we are 4 completely different musicians/people (thats what makes us who we are as Little Red Radio) and what we all "love" as artists, that's a hard question to answer.. Black Eyed Peas in the studio and on stage for sure.. but not limited to. there are a few hundred bands/artists we would love to work with!

Leroux: Would you call yourselves more of a family or just good friends?

LRR- Both!

Leroux: Do you guys fight/ fuss/ argue often? What usually starts it? Who is to blame for it?

LRR- Any band that doesn't fuss in certain aspects, isn't growing as a band.

Leroux: What is your favorite cocktail to drink?

LRR- Red Bull/Vodka Eli James - Water over ice. haha

Leroux: How does playing in Arizona compare to playing in LA? What did you think of the night June 18 with Larry Tee?

LRR- Amazing people in Arizona for sure and very fun! The night with Larry Tee was a blast and we hope to do it again soon.

Leroux: Who is the most fun in the group? The smart one? The sexual one? The sexiest one?

LRR- We all have our moments! But the best thing we can say is to come see us perform. Then you decide.
