[HASHTAG] HAPPY [HASHTAG] HOLIDAYS - #BOOM

[HASHTAG] HAPPY [HASHTAG] HOLIDAYS - #BOOM

The holidays are here!

It is more than apparent, aside from the abnormally warm weather we are experiencing here in NYC #notcomplaining, that the holidays have arrived. The streets are busy with last minute shoppers and drunken Santacon has-beens, the shameless line of failed DIY bakers out of Martha's Bakery is down the block, DMX's version of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is flooding your Facebook feed but all that is left is the ACTUAL focus of the holidays.. #FAMILY. Amongst the hustle and bustle of my daily regimen, I wanted to allot some time to hang with my favorite girl in the world. Diella is my 6 year old niece who can carry on a conversation of 26 year old. She puts me to shame most of the time as she reminds me of the necessities of life rather than just chasing around the next earned dollar. I embarrassedly admit that I do not spend enough time with her and some bonding was overdue. We went to Oli Oli painting studio in Forest Hills to paint some awesome ornaments. This girl definitely had #madskillz with the paintbrush and I was impressed to see she didn't need any help at all. After putting in some serious hours into our painting session, we walked over to my favorite local bakery for some holiday cheesecake (sorry Santa, no cookies this year). So, what was the favorite part of my day? Truthfully, her smile that never left her face from the beginning to the end of our day #priceless.

MEET THE MODEL - ROSS PINO

Art Direction & Photography by Alpha Spark Films.

Ross (http://rosspino.com) and I have known each other for over 5 years and is my brother from a random mother. We've experienced several "#BOOM" moments together over the years [I won't incriminate ourselves here by providing examples], but the greatest #BOOM moments for me were the moments we shared supporting one another's dreams. Ross agreed to be the face of my company and truthfully no other model fits the mold of the #BOOM lifestyle than him. He is the epitome of "seizing the moment" and "making dreams happen". Ross shot with Adrian Gorbaliuk (http://www.alphasparkfilms.com) exclusively for #BOOM (http://thehashtagboom.com) at the NYC High Line, followed by a brief interview while dining at the newly opened Chick-Fil-A on 37th & 6th. As we were munching on fries and slurping down some sodas, here is what he had to say about his personal style and lifestyle:

View fullsize

Who or what inspires your style?
 I describe my style as more rugged. Steve McQueen, James Dean, Johnny Depp all have unique styles They are not necessarily on trend.. more of trendsetters. They have their own sense of style that inspires others but unique to their own personalities and styles that many can not pull off.

What is your go-to outfit?
Black jeans, combat boots, white or black scoop neck tee and wallet chain. - Keep it simple.

Who is your favorite designer?
Right now, Belstaff.

Describe a day in the life of a NYC model?
Wake up. First things first, coffee. Throw on a outfit. Go to my castings. Chick-fil-a. Catch up with some friends. Get more coffee. Find something fun to do/ shopping. Repeat.

What do you do when you get a day off?
Work on my motorcycle, skate boarding, surfing.

In addition to modeling, are you working on any other business ventures or projects?
I act and write. Also I recently launched my new jewelry, Dusty Trade. Dusty Trade is a southwestern rugged men's jewelry collection influenced by my upbringing in New Mexico and my Native American ancestry. (https://instagram.com/dustytradeco/)

Lastly, Scrolling through your Instagram pics, which picture would you select to add the caption "#BOOM" on and why?
