ACA Client Spotlight: Carissa Rosario

by Administrator on January 4, 2012

International Model, entrepreneur, business woman, nutritionist, and philanthropist are just some of the many ways to describe Carissa Rosario – one of hardest working and busiest models in the industry today.
Born in Massachusetts to Latin American and Greek Ancestry, Carissa has had a passion for her craft since the early age of 3. At just 10 years old, Carissa was discovered and began modeling professionally. Today, Carissa humbly graces the covers of 15 International and National magazine covers and can be seen in Vogue Mexico, GQ South Africa, Maxim Espanol, Maxim UK, Maxim US, FHM Turkey and FHM Croatia – just to name a few.
With nothing short of a powerful presence in person and on camera, she was a natural for pageants and has successfully won 5 beauty pageants, placed as the 2nd runner-up to Miss Latina USA in the American Dream Pageant and is currently ranked #1 on Google as the most searched Professional Maxim Model.
Another day, another model, another bio? Not quite.
Carissa Rosario is far from just a pretty face with all the right physical features and outgoing, down to earth personality. She packs a deadly combination of beauty and brains with an impressive College Degree from Florida State University (FSU) in Nutrition and Exercise Science, all while maintaining her busy modeling career.
After accomplishing her academic goals, Carissa moved to Los Angeles where she was hired to host the show “Como TV” for Telemundo. She has continued to host, dance and model for several other Spanish-speaking networks, and has appeared in two national commercials for Burger King (with P. Diddy) and Comcast Cable. She has had a number of roles in feature films including the lead in Ride Sweet Die Slow.
As Carissa has grown, so has her industry experience which has fueled some entrepreneurial endeavors that don’t deserve to go unnoticed. She is currently a partner in “After party” (a healthy alternative drink for hangovers), and is currently filming a reality TV show as the sidekick to stylist Colin on E!

Diamonds and LIFE were the highlight of the evening as an exclusive crowd mixed and mingled at the Toro Lounge in the Smyth Hotel to celebrate LUX and LIFE on November 29th 2011.  LUX, The Fine Diamond Collection is a collaboration of two exceedingly fabulous custom jewelry companies; Sue Tsai and Julian Casimir & Co owned by Jean Alerte & Delano Imran.  to bring their customers an exquisite, fresh new line. The night showcased a select few of their pieces that sparkled brightly through the glass cases viewed by all who attended.  The extraordinary evening was also dedicated to commemorate the partnership with LUX and the American Cancer Society® for the LIFE bracelet, “Less Cancer, More Birthdays.”

Guests enjoyed music by one of NYC’s finest, DJ- Fadelf; a specialized LUXTini cocktail by Ciroc and satisfied their sweet tooth with Ciroc infused cupcakes by Desi Lu Sweets. A few VIP guests stop by to show their support for the new line. The lovely Melyssa Ford; Basketball wife, Meeka Claxton, who is close friends with Sue Tasi;  and President of Hervey & Company,  Ramon Hervey were more than impressed by the custom diamond pieces and the beauty of the LIFE bracelet

Donald W. Distasio, CEO of the eastern Division of the American Cancer Society and other ACS supporters attended as well. All were inspired by the Birthday theme that surrounds the LIFE bracelet. Cancer is a disease that affects and touches nearly every single human being. It is a true blessing that the American Cancer Society has chosen to team up with LUX to create the specialized bracelet that captures the beauty and value of the precious gift we call LIFE. The LIFE bracelet, a part of the LUX collection, is 1.5 carats of S/1 diamonds accented by 14k rose gold. With the purchase of a bracelet, LUX will contribute $150 of the sale of each LIFE bracelet to benefit the American Cancer Society. They hope that each person will be able to feel the gratification of helping the American Cancer Society save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.    To be a part of this great cause and learn more about their collaboration, log on to www.braceletsforlife.com and www.The-LUX-Collection.com  to purchase your precious piece of LUX and LIFE. Diamonds are not just a girl’s best friend, “The only thing more precious than a diamond is a life”
