The beautiful people of Santa Barbara have (another) reason to celebrate, as Hello Gorgeous Models announced their entrance to the area fashion and arts scene with a ribbon cutting in front of their new office in the heart of Montecito.
Founded by former-model/actress and Santa Barbaran Shannon Loar-Coté, Hello Gorgeous Models was conceived with the hope of addressing the absence of an area talent and model agency, an issue that Loar-Coté had repeatedly noticed over the course of five years.
