I got a call from Parvati Shallow, a close friend who was organizing a bikini calendar photo shoot for this reality show and charity organization called “The Knockouts�. It’ about 16 female models picked to live together and then through a series of challenges and eliminations, 2 girls get voted out by their fellow housemates. In order to stay and not leave the competition, they have to train and have a boxing match, loser goes home and the winner stays.  Eventually, it comes down to the championship fight and the winner gets money, contracts, etc…

 

In true producer fashion, the day started off at TOAST having some bagels and lox. We then headed out to the location which was a beautiful house in the Hollywood Hills, owned by Lonnie (one of the main owners at the Dolce Group). 

 

We began setting up for the day.  Gary B. Garman was the photographer for the event and he was awesome, his work can be seen at www.garybgarman.com  On to the shoot, there was plenty of beautiful girls in amazing bikinis, hand made and crafted piece by piece by Daniel Kelley.  Not only were each and every one of the girls gorgeous with incredibly sexy figures, but they had the personality and wits to match.  

 

 The Knockout Girls Photoshoot - April 25, 2008

 

We interviewed each one and soon learned how driven and committed to the project these girls were.  All the proceeds for the calendar are being donated the Knockouts for Girls non profit organization, you can access their site at and see photos and videos form previous boxing events and fashion shows. 

 

Their next event will be on June 3rd at Boulevard 3 in I know it will be a blast, so come out and support.  Be sure to keep a look out for “The Knockouts Bikini Calendar� along with,� The Making of……�DVD.  It will be available at the event. The DVD is produced by Marcelo Alvarez and Michael Yakovchik for GreyTV.
