"Royal Ladies" shoot for Foxxcode Magazine

Last week I had a photoshoot with Foxxcode Magazine for their feature on "NYC's Royal Ladies". The shoot took place at Limelight Market where it once was a dance club I use to attend when I was a teenager and now taking photos for a magazine pregnant. Who would of thought?! Here are some behind the scenes photos taken of the four ladies Natalie Oliveras, Lisa Ajello, Aphrodita, and myself.

Urban Dictionary Entry Defining the ValSecrets' Term 'Mogulista'

NEW YORK, NY, April 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ValSecrets, the online entertainment and social networking site, is adding to UrbanDictionary.com this week with the term, "Mogulista." UrbanDictionary defines Mogulista as a "sexier term for mogul." A mogulista is a savvy business woman who has a powerful influence over people with her knowledge and success. Valeria Tignini, owner and founder of ValSecrets.com is a perfect fit for the definition. As an entrepreneur, model, actress, and IT professional; Ms. Tignini exemplifies mogulista.

Valeria Tignini is nothing less than a modern day Renaissance woman. Each chapter of her life is more interesting than the last. In addition to her experience as an information architect for some of New York City's top companies, she was cast as a "dotcommer" on pop culture pioneer MTV's Road Rules. This experience sparked her passion for theatre and led her to study theatre, act, and model. She soon became well know for her print modeling in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Italy.Valeria has a unique perspective and experiences that most have never had the chance to experience. She wants to now share her wisdom and experiences with the world while also learning from other women as well. This need to share her secrets has sparked a passion in Valeria and this passion coupled a decade of dotcom experience had led her to create Valsecrets.com.

One year ago this month, Ms. Tignini launched ValSecrets, an online confessional forum where handpicked women from all walks of life share daily video blogs with members. Vlogs provide users with entertainment, advice, and answers to questions posted by members. The Web site does not simply focus on beauty and fashion advice, though these are categories on the site. Other categories on the site include self-esteem and awareness, finance, life experiences, romantic relationships, other relationships, career, education, health, and fitness. ValSecrets is designed to be entertaining, with video blogs ranging from comedic to dramatic that present real life experiences to women in a way that captures the attention and makes the website fun and educational.

ValSecrets is more than just another social network. In the short time since its launch in April 2009, ValSecrets.com has accomplished milestones most start up Web sites can only dream of including achieving finalist status in the Forbes Boost Your Business Contest, hosting special guests on the site including Fran Drescher, and hosting multiple successful events in the New York City area that served to benefit worthy charity organizations. The future of ValSecrets keeps getting brighter with the recent launch of ValSecretsTeens and a Web show on UBAtv; in addition to the pending launch of a new advertising system, partnerships, ValSecretsKids, reality show, jewelry line, and book series.

'Bama Belles, ValSecrets.com And A Cute Malti-Poo Have Something In Common'

Nov 19, 2010 | RockSoup Productions

'Bama Belles, ValSecrets.com And A Cute Malti-Poo Have Something In Common'

Bama Belles Premiers Dec 5th at 10PM EST on TLC

New York, NY 'For Immediate Release'
The woman behind VALSECRETS.com the social networking site, that inspires, encourages and empowers females across the globe ; has added another accomplishment to her growing resume. Valeria Tignini and her charming pooch, the famous BEBE will be starring in the new, soon to be hit show BAMA BELLES. The show deals with four ladies and BEBE that live, work and play in the small southern town of Dothan, Alabama. Sounds simple right?! Not when you place a Brooklyn born and bred Italian American girl and her little dog in the mix. Let's get ready for a good time!

Nancy Daniels TLC's Senior production and development VP tells Variety 'TLC is taking a real look at the Southern lifestyle of these women in a relatable and fun way,' .

These women bring a raw view of what life is like in the deep south. They love their hunting, fishing, four wheeling and tailgating at stock car races. Let's also not forget to mention an event most people aren't accustomed to - Lawn Mower Racing. As our dear Val simply states 'people in New York actually mow their lawns with the device not race it...' Valeria also gets a severe reaction from one of the roughest belles of the bunch, when she stands up looks around and innocently states that a good portion of the crowd were missing teeth!

Please check out the teaser link below.

I challenge you all not to crack up while Valeria searches for the right words after realizing, tough girl Dakota Redding might just kick her butt back to NYC.

There is definitely more to this bunch then fried food and hunting. You cannot miss these fun and fierce Southern gals trying to balance their careers and simultaneously deal with major drama!

We do ponder though; will our beautiful, positive Valeria and adorable Bebe make it back to us or will they become Bama Belles for life?! Stay tuned to find out Dec 5th @

10pm EST! By the way, If you can't relate to any of the women on the show at least tune in for BEBE, Valeria's charming Malti - POO!
