Today
she is recognized as the exotic brunette with the full lips and the body
that defies description. She's also called "The
Frederick's
Girl"...
Yvette's story began in New York. Born the second daughter of immigrant
parents (her father is German, her mother is Armenian) she grew up in a
loving
and encouraging family. Her father's work moved the family to California
when she was 10. By 15 she'd already graduated high school
with
a 4.0 GPA . Her dreams of working in music and the entertainment business
won out over college plans when she was approached by an agent
from
Elite modeling agency during an afternoon shopping outing with her mother.
That chance meeting led to a whirlwind modeling career...
Over the next 2 years she lived and worked throughout Europe and Asia.
Upon her return to her home base of Los Angeles her list of clients
quickly
became extensive. Some of her career highlights included a major Maybelline
Makeup campaign and of course her extended affiliation
with
Frederick's of Hollywood. She quickly gained noteriety in the area of lingerie
and swimwear and as a result has worked with pretty much
every
major company in those fields. Her high profile caused Playboy to ask her
to be a playmate- an offer which she decided to turn down at
the
time.
Yvette also has worked with dozens of companies on their national and regional
commercial campaigns- including Mc Donald's, Burger King,
Saturn,
Pringles, Coke, Mountain Dew, Jordache, Sketchers, Taco bell, KFC, Kellogg's,
Nivea, Redken, Herbal Essence, KMS, Miller Beer,
Budweiser,
Tecate, West Cigarettes, Nike and Orangina to name a few. She's also been
featured in over 100 calendars and posters and several
well
known music videos and was featured on covers such as Elle, Spanish Vogue,
Moda and Sport, and in the pages of Fitness, Mens
Fitness,
Shape, Mademoiselle, In Style, Moda and many others. . Yvette is also a
Actress and successful recording artist. Her debut CD
"All
For The Sake Of Love" has been hailed by critics and fans the world over
and she's currently working on a follow up album.
She
continues modeling in conjunction with her other endeavors and has decided
to bring you YVETTTENELSON.COM as a way of staying in closer
contact
with her fans.
