Teen Trend Magazine Premier Prom Showcase in Port Jefferson, NY

Teen Trend Magazine is the newest magazine on the market for teenagers. Appealing to both guys and girls, ages 12 - 18, Teen Trend Magazine is setting a higher standard for teen magazines around the world. Teen Trend is sticking with the idea of encouraging wholesome and positive images to teenagers, and will be bringing the Teen Trend Magazine Prom Showcase Series to cities nationwide.

The first venue for this series is lovely Danfords on the Sound, located in Port Jefferson, NY. The event, known as the Teen Trend Magazine Premier Prom Showcase, will be held on December 5th from 6:00pm - 9:00pm in the upstairs of Danfords. Attendees will be treated to a fashion show, featuring dresses from Alyce Designs, tuxedos from After Hours, hairstyles by HairSpray Salon in Nesconset, makeup by Emily Margulis, accessories by Claire's, and much more. Pop singer Ashley Gomez will be performing her first live performance of "Go Get It".

Teen celebrity Hunter Gomez (of Family Guy and National Treasure fame) will also be at the Premier Prom Showcase, acting as co-emcee with Teen Trend's Editor-in-Chief, Candice Cain. Furthermore, Hunter appears on the Dec/Jan cover of Teen Trend, a copy of which will be given to everyone in attendance. Hunter will be available for pictures and autographs all throughout the event.

"The best thing about these events," says publisher Juliette Marotta, "is that Teen Trend uses real teenagers to model the clothes for prom. We actually carry that over to the models in the magazine, and use real teenagers for all of our articles." Students from Bellport High School and Longwood High School will be modeling in the Prom Showcase Series. Each student was selected by Cain and Marotta, and have a wholesome image in their respective schools and communities.

"I think it's cool, because not a lot of people have the opportunity to do something like this," says Bellport High School Junior Billy Bradford, who is one of the models. "I like this magazine because it's not like any other magazine out there. Instead of using all beautiful and unrealistic teenagers, Teen Trend uses normal teens from regular high schools. I can really relate to that."

Teen Trend Magazine has partnered with the Gomez Family Food Drive to present the Premier Prom Showcase Food Drive Contest. All teens attending the showcase are encouraged to bring as many non-perishable food items as they can. The first, second and third highest amounts will each receive a prize.
