No Matter What They Say...


And there is no one in the world who can make you believe that but yourself, 
for true beauty lies in becoming yourself and accepting yourself for who you are <3

Story of my life.

Let's go to the movies... Let's go see the stars!

Some months ago I was honored with the privilege of starring in my first film directed by award winning director, Kenya Cagle. The film, "Brooklyn Gangster: The story of Jose Lucas" is to have it's first red carpet premiere on May 17th at 7:30 pm in NY's finest AMC Empire Movie Theater. And because of such an amazing opportunity, I am VERY proud to say that...

I have my first IMDB credit online! **Check it out here:  Nastassja Ocasio : IMDB credit

Excited much? Heck yes! Another dream is coming true... slowly but surely and it feels great. I have worked very hard to get where I need/want to be and I guess it's true when they say hard work really does pay off. If you are interested in going to the movie premiere, tickets are originally $50 BUT if you buy your ticket by March 20th, 2012 at the site: Tickets to see Brooklyn Gangster: The story of Jose Lucas AND you use the code "caglevision", you will get your ticket for only $30! So you must act fast.  I am very much appreciated for everyone who has motivated me and supported me throughout my dreams (like my family including my amazing actor/boyfriend who I love with a love that is more than love). Thanks for your support and be sure to check out my page!

My mom reckons I'm going to be a star. And stars don't fall from the sky.

It has been a while and I really need to get back into writing in my blog, but I just wanted to share something that I am deeply, deeply proud of myself for. First things first... my dream finally came true on 11-11-11. I became a runway model! I was chosen to walk the runway for some famous Indian and Pakistani designers at the Runway Princess event in NYC. I had the honor of meeting some very talented and loving people who cherish what they do and who love every single part of their lives because they treasure the gift that has been granted to them: Talent. My experience at the Runway Princess pageant was phenomenal. I had wanted to talk the runway since I could remember. Always being so tall and thin, I had this thought in my mind that I could be like those girls in the magazines. That I could stand proud and tall and feel beautiful inside and out... and I did. I felt so comfortable on the runway and that was when I knew that my place is in modeling. Here are some of the outfits I wore:









My dream came true for the 2nd time when I walked the runway for fashion week not too long ago. On February 11, 2012 I walked the runway for the Hearts in Fashion Expo in NY and again, it really was a great experience. While I still await for photos, I reflect upon my past experiences and say to myself, "I really have come far" even if I have only done 2 shows. That's a lot more than other people can say.

Shine on!
