KMM Model DAPHNE TINGEY Booked for Tabatha Takes Over on Bravo

The It Factor Productions’ KMM Model Daphne Tingey was just booked for Tabatha Coffey’s television show on the Bravo network.  Check out Daphne’s KMM picture below.  Of all the Kaback Models, she looks a lot like Tabatha herself.  Everyone at KMM Models can’t wait to see the two together on television.

In case you are unfamiliar with Tabatha Coffey, here’s a little info about her television career:

Coffey was first introduced to American audiences when she became a contestant in the Bravo reality show Shear Genius. Having auditioned out of curiosity, she quickly earned a reputation for her outspokenness and intensity. She was a front-runner in the competition, winning most of the challenges during her stay, but she was eliminated in the sixth episode, along with her teammate for the day, Tyson. She has made no secret of her objections to Tyson’s methods, thinking his ego got in the way of his work. The judges eliminated them for their poor teamwork. Coffey later won $10,000 as the show’s Fan Favorite.

In 2008, Coffey was approached by Bravo to star in the reality series Tabatha’s Salon Takeover in which she uses her hairdressing and business expertise to assist salons that are in danger of closing. The show was renamed Tabatha Takes Over for its fourth season.  Everyone in The It Factor Productions office loves watching the show.  Coffey has also appeared on Make Me a Supermodel Season 2, The Tyra Banks Show as a part of Banks’s “Glam Squad,” and The Biggest Loser along with Tim Gunn, giving makeovers to the show’s contestants.

KMM Model Mark Mandia, recently scooped up by Colby Models, has been in NYC test shooting with Ryan Colby.  Check out a couple examples from his Cobly KMM Models portfolio below.  Shortly after shooting these photos, The It Factor Productions received a request that Michael Bay, director of the latest Transformers movie currently in pre-production, would like to personally meet with Mark.

Everyone at The It Factor Productions is so excited for Mark and can’t wait to see what comes of this meeting.  Here is some more information on the legendary Michael Bay:

After launching his career as an award-winning commercial and music video director, Michael Bay quickly emerged as one of Hollywood’s boldest and most bankable feature film directors. Characterized by his aggressive visual style and high-octane action sequences that have become his cinematic signature, the films that Bay has directed and produced via his two production companies have grossed $5.5 billion worldwide.

His directing resume includes the films “Bad Boys” and “Bad Boys 2,” both starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence; “The Rock” starring Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery; “Armageddon” starring Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis; “Pearl Harbor” starring Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale; “The Island” starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson; as well as three “Transformers” blockbusters starring Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro. The franchise has grossed over $2.4 billion; the latest installment, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” is the 5th highest grossing movie of all time.

Bay’s next film is the dark comedy “Pain and Gain,” a true story starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson as bodybuilding halfwits in late-90s Miami, who take on a criminal enterprise of kidnaping, extortion and murder in pursuit of the American Dream. It will be released April 26, 2013. He is in pre-production on a fourth “Transformers” film, to be released in summer 2014.

Bay also has three television shows in production, and is producing four additional films. He is the founder and principal partner of Platinum Dunes, a production company originally conceived to give talented commercial and video directors a chance to break into the feature world.

A graduate of Wesleyan University and Art Center College of Design, Bay has won virtually every major award in the commercial industry, including Cannes’ Golden Lion, the Grand Prix Clio, and the Directors Guild of America’s Commercial Director of the Year award. His “Got Milk?” campaign resides in the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art.

An L.A. native, Michael has called Miami home for the past three years. Bay Films now operates from South Beach while Platinum Dunes from Santa Monica.
