. . . “I was asked to do a photo shoot for a project that Vin’s label was doing. Little did I know it was a ploy to meet me! I was “all business” heading into our meeting on that fateful Friday night. But the moment I looked at those blue eyes, the world blurred and it was only him and me. I have never felt so close to a person instantly. The next night I saw him at a rooftop party and we sat all night talking. After that, he went back home to New York, but we would spend all of our free time talking on the phone. He visited me every weekend and one day surprised me by uprooting his life to be close to me. We have never looked back. ’Vinny and Jess’ just make sense to me. Soul mates really do exist!”

. . . “Sometime in the middle of 2005, I was looking through party pictures on a website called Velocity. Completely out of the blue, I was smacked in the face with an incredible vision of beauty. I immediately called the owner of the website and asked if he knew who she was. He told me that her name was Jessica, and after a few days, he was able to get me her phone number. All that was needed now was a plan.

The answer was simple: a CD. Feeling a surge of motivation, I called one of St. Louis’ most well known DJs, and asked him to create the first Curvve Recordings compilation. I finally had a reason to pick up the phone and call Jessica: I called and asked if she would be interested in modeling for the CD.

It all finally came together on September 9th, the date of our first meeting to “discuss the CD.” It was a natural and unexplained connection that we both felt, and as soon as our dinner was over, I wanted more. The next night I gave her a call and was able to arrange a second meeting.

That night, during an incredible rooftop party, our souls had merged. I never wanted to be away from her again. I realized that I could not let such an amazing person pass out of my life. Once I returned to New York, I started planning my move to St. Louis. Within two months it was complete. I had found my soul mate, and thanks to the help of a few friends, I was able to accomplish my dream of finding the woman that I would someday marry.”
