At today’s NYLON casting call, we met Liza Golden, 18.

Liza comes from New Jersey, and belongs to One Model Management.

She’s part of a growing influx of American models - something really exciting after years and years of Russians dominating the catwalks (though we love Russians, too!).

Liza has a cool tattoo on her wrist, but she says, “My mom would have killed me if I’d gotten it done before I turned eighteen.”

She just graduated high school, so she’s finally making the jump to New York City, to give modeling her best shot.

Do you think we should put her in a NYLON spread? Let us know!

  Attention boys:

If you think you can look hotter than the guy at left in a pair of Diesel Jeans, you might be able to win some money.

Diesel is teaming up with FORD Models to launch their first ever model search in Union Square, NYC tomorrow.

Show up at 1 Union Square West from 4pm to 8pm and meet with Ford Model Scouts who could break open your pretty boy career…

If you live in New York, you may have noticed an influx of tall, sparkly, sort of crooked  looking creatures with flaxen hair and onyx eyeliner, creeping around the city.

These would be models, flown in from places we can’t pronounce for campaign season.  As we speak, ads are getting shot for Dolce + Gabbana, CK Jeans, H&M, Kenneth Cole… you name it.  And these models are their cheerleaders, their champions, their stars.

In honor of them, and the fact that they’ll be going home again soon, today’s site is one of their motherships, One Model Management.  They just redid their whole web base, and it’s pretty incredibly gorgeous, with photos of girls like Devon Aoki at left.

Today’s song of the day is Rich Girls by The Virgins, because NYLON TV Bridget and I cannot stop singing it, even though we don’t know the words.  That’s the total mark of a good song.  xo faran.
