Happy Holidays!!!

Shoot at Time Out New York

This afternoon I had a photo shoot for Time Out New York Kids' Magazine it was fun but the traffic into Manhattan was very bad and I am very impatient sitting in traffic, which is why I want to be so famous I can take one of those helicopters everywhere that I sat next to in traffic for two hours on the Westside Highway to get to the shoot! Well as you can see I had on very strange make up and I don't exactly look like me. It was because they where trying to make me look like someone else who is very famous and probably got to fly in a few of the copter's in her day. I can't tell you anymore but check me out in the February edition! Just a hint: "Oh my nose! After the shoot we went to "The Melting Pot" for fondue. This was my first having fondue and I loved it. They put a pot on a burner in the middle of you table and you cook your own food in garlic broth. The steam kept blowing my way and I smelled like garlic and well "Oh my nose"!

Putting the star on the top of the tree!

Please go to this website and read about the terrible thing that happened to this little boy I used to know and donate!!

You can buy me at Walgreen's

and BUYCOSTUMES.COM One funny thing about modeling is you never know where you will turn up in print. One of my friend's found herself on a coloring book in the dollar store. One job I did a few years ago was modeling Halloween costumes for Rubie's Costumes in Queen's NY Since then I'm everywhere dressed as Betsy Ross, Jennie from Forest Gump and angels, princesses and even a Troll (I'll never live that one down!) Every Halloween you can find me just about anywhere.

"Don't Fear the Dark" Music Video Full Version! Is released yeah!!

Don't Fear the Dark video Still

This video looks very creepy, but in fact it was shot in a beautiful Log Cabin in rural New Jersey! It was a 10 acre paradise with herds of deer just wandering by!

"I Don't Fear the Dark" Music Video

Last weekend I filmed a music video for a group called "Techinkult of Flesh" It really put me in the Halloween spirit. I got to sit in a real hearse!!! This is a still sent out by the director of me wandering thru the woods about to be eaten (not really) by zombies. I will get more info when it is released soon.

Hey What's it like to be a model??

Well, it's like, go-see this, go-see that LOL Some people think is all fun but sometimes it's a lot of running around. Today I had two go-sees in Manhattan. A go-see is when they are checking you out to see if they want to hire you for a shoot. It's like an audition but for models. Here I am in SOHO going to one of my go-sees for DKNY. Then we had to rush to get to the next one up on w29th to see someone about an H&M ad. Go-sees aren't as fun as shoots and you don't get paid for them. Sometimes you have to wait in long lines to be seen. Today I was lucky as they were request go-sees so there was only a few people there. Sometimes you have to do a lot of fast walking to get to them in time (see tired feet).

My wild flowers

Well here are my flowers I grew. As I see it, it cost us about $20 for this bouquet. I planted a bazzilon seeds and this is what came up! I do like the photo I took of the flowers. Here is a really weird pic of my eye. I though it was creepy.

Justice Shoot

Last week a shot an ad for Justice (which is owned by Limited Too)It was so much fun. We got to shoot in Central Park in NYC and the trailer was set up right in front of the Museum of Natural History where "A Night at the Museum" was filmed. Even though I didn't have much time I was able to walk thru the exhibits quickly because after 4:45 the museum is free! Here are some photos from me from the shoot. We couldn't take pics of the actual shoot but you can see me soon at www.justicejustforgirls.com this holiday season.

Reservation Road to be released Oct 19

This is the trailer for a film I was in which was shot last October. If you pause the trailer when they bring up Jennifer Connelly's name we think you can see me off to the left. Hopefully we can see more of me in the actual film.

Supermodels Unlimited shoot

This is me with photographer David James in New York City who photographed me for Supermodels Unlimted Magazines' 15 Most Beautiful models spread.

My new headshot

Today I had new headshots taken. This is the one we liked best but we have to run it by my agent first.

Reservation Road

We just found out that the movie I was in with Elle Fanning "Reservation Road" release date has been moved up to October 19th. It got an "R" rating so I might not be able to bring my friends to it as I had hoped. marykatemalat.com is now an affilate of www.elle-fanning.org Which is a great website to find out information obout the movie. I also learn through Elle's website that it will be premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. We are thinking of going because my photo is going to be up in the Vaungh Mills mall and on some billboards in that area.

Some photos from our trip to Las Vegas!

I'm sooo excited about my new cellphone!

I just got a new Upstage cellphone I love it. My mom bought it for me because I made the honor roll. Here's a self portrait I took with it!

My new Wilhelmina book photo

Well you might have seen the episode of "The Agency" on VH1 about the book shoot. Well the kid's division at Wilhelmina has a book shoot also. This year we all did a runway shoot this is my photo from the book!

My day in jail By Mary Kate

Great News!!

This me and my friend Nora that I met on the set!

Today we got great news from the folks who produced "Hope and a Little Sugar" My first film which was a "Bollywood-Hollywood" colaboration. This was my first movie that was shot about two 1/2 years ago. It was so much fun and I will always remember it. My mom & I now watch Bollywood films when ever we can and sometimes we see actors & actresses I got work with and it seems surreal.


"Please let Mary Kate know that her performance survived the final cut and her "trick or treat" scene has now been viewed at film festivals all around the world (New York City; Goa, India; Karachi, Pakistan; Milan, Italy, et al). The film is currently awaiting distribution and will have its official release sometime in the near future."

Wishing Mary Kate all the best!
