@tensmagusa presents TENS ACCESS — going backstage at Vegas Swim Week to meet the personalities bringing the runway to life.

For this edition, we caught up with @itsbethanybishop backstage for an exclusive TENS Magazine interview before she stepped onto the runway as a model during Vegas Swim Week powered by @artheartsfashion.

Surrounded by the energy and controlled chaos behind the show, Bethany spoke with TENS ACCESS just moments away from the runway—giving us a glimpse into the person behind the look before it was time to walk.

Then the lights came up.

Bethany made the transition from backstage interview to runway model, stepping out in front of the crowd and cameras and becoming part of the spectacle we had just been talking about.

That’s what TENS ACCESS is all about: getting beyond the finished images and bringing you closer to the models, designers, creatives, and personalities who make these moments happen.

No velvet ropes. No view from the sidelines.

Just backstage conversations, runway energy, and access from inside the show.

Before the runway comes the ritual.

Backstage at Las Vegas Swim Week, powered by @artheartsfashion, @kalista.haire exists somewhere between preparation and performance—the final touch of makeup, a last adjustment of fabric, a glance toward the entrance, and then the quiet anticipation before the room gives way to lights.

There is an intimacy to fashion before it reaches the runway. Beyond the music and spectacle, backstage reveals the architecture of the moment: hands moving quickly, silhouettes taking shape, conversations disappearing beneath the rhythm of production. And at the center of our lens, Kalista.

She doesn’t simply wear the look. She gives it character.

There’s an ease to her presence that feels distinctly modern—confident without being calculated, glamorous without trying too hard. One moment she is caught in the beautiful chaos backstage; the next, she steps beyond the curtain and commands the runway as though it were inevitable.

For TENS Magazine, these are the frames we love most: the seconds before fashion becomes performance.

Some models walk the runway. Valentina @valentinaofficialmodel owns it.

At Las Vegas Swim Week Powered by @artheartsfashion, Valentina delivered look after look after look—and somehow managed to make every single one feel like the look of the night.

Swimwear? Slayed.
Runway? Slayed.
Backstage? Obviously slayed.
Camera turns in her direction? Game over.

There’s a certain kind of confidence that can’t be styled, rehearsed, or manufactured. Valentina brings it the second she steps in front of the camera. One moment she’s serving effortless poolside glamour, the next she’s giving full Vegas bombshell energy with enough attitude to light up the Strip.

And the best part? She makes it look ridiculously easy.

Between the flashes, the quick changes, the backstage madness and the adrenaline of the runway, we followed Valentina through Las Vegas Swim Week capturing those little moments that happen between the official moments—the glance before she walks, the laugh backstage, the pose that lasts half a second but becomes the shot.

Every designer brought a new look.

Valentina brought Valentina.

And apparently that was more than enough.

Consider this our official petition for another runway, another wardrobe and about 10,000 more frames.

Because when Valentina is in front of the lens, you keep shooting.

We’re not worthy. But thankfully, our cameras were ready. 📸👑

Backstage energy hits different. 🔥✨

@valentinaofficialmodel brought undeniable presence to Las Vegas Swim Week, powered by @artheartsfashion, and we were there to capture every moment—from the intensity and excitement backstage to the second she stepped onto the runway.

Behind the scenes, our cameras followed Valentina through those final moments before each walk: the preparation, the movement, the details, and that unmistakable shift in energy when it’s time to own the runway. And every single time she walked out? She absolutely SLAYED. 🔥

Confidence. Attitude. Elegance. Power.

Valentina knows how to command a runway, and watching her transform from the backstage atmosphere into full runway mode made for some incredible footage. Each walk had its own energy, but the presence remained the same—focused, fearless, and impossible to ignore.

Las Vegas Swim Week gave us the perfect setting to capture fashion from both sides of the curtain: the moments the audience sees and the raw, fast-moving world happening just seconds before.

ABS ARE MADE… BACKSTAGE? 🔥

Backstage at Vegas Swim Week Powered by @artheartsfashion, TENS Magazine host @tiffanyjoyconde gets the inside scoop from @valentinaofficialmodel and @avacherlyn_ on how they prepare to get runway-ready — and quickly discovers that when it comes to abs, everyone has their own technique.

@valentinaofficialmodel takes a more artistic approach. Instead of squeezing in another workout right before showtime, she prefers a little makeup magic — literally “painting” her abs on to add that extra definition before hitting the catwalk. 🎨🔥

@avacherlyn_ takes an entirely different approach.

Her preparation involves an extensive fitness routine combining Hot Yoga, Hot Pilates, and weight lifting — building the strength, conditioning, and definition she brings to the runway. It’s a reminder that those few minutes under the lights can represent weeks and months of preparation.

Two models. Two completely different approaches.

And @tiffanyjoyconde is backstage learning all the secrets. 👀

That’s what makes Vegas Swim Week Powered by @artheartsfashion so much fun to cover. Beyond the fashion, hair, makeup, and final runway looks, backstage is where you discover the personalities, routines, tricks, and preparation the audience normally never gets to see.

Paint them on or work them out — either way, the abs are READY. 😂🔥

@kalista.haire IN FOCUS. ✨

A compilation of some of Kalista Haire’s standout moments from Las Vegas Swim Week Powered by @artheartsfashion — from the energy behind the scenes to the confidence, attitude, and movement she brought to the catwalk.

There’s always more to a runway moment than what happens under the lights. Backstage is where the transformation takes shape: hair, makeup, fittings, last-minute adjustments, conversations, anticipation, and that final moment before stepping onto the runway. Then the music hits, the lights come up, and it’s showtime.

Kalista brought her own presence to every part of the experience. Whether caught in a candid moment behind the scenes or commanding the runway in front of the crowd, she delivered the kind of energy that makes fashion week worth capturing.

This compilation brings both worlds together — the polished catwalk moments and the raw, unscripted scenes that happen just beyond the audience’s view.

Las Vegas Swim Week isn’t just about the final walk. It’s about the people, personalities, preparation, and moments that create the show.

@kalista.haire — in focus. 🎥✨

Heather Boyd @heather.hboyd slaying Vegas Swim Week Powered by @artheartsfashion — owning the runway and bringing the same energy behind the scenes.

Model. Host. Actress. Volleyball player. Heather does it all, combining confidence, athleticism, personality, and undeniable presence every time she steps in front of the camera.

From commanding the catwalk to taking the mic backstage, she proves there’s a lot more to fashion week than what happens under the lights.

Unforgettable moments from Vegas Swim Week. 🔥

@kalista.haire backstage in @mistertriplex during Las Vegas Swim Week powered by @artheartsfashion — bringing attitude, confidence, and unmistakable runway energy before stepping beneath the lights. Time for a quick selfie!

Some of the best moments in fashion happen before the runway ever begins.

Backstage is where the transformation takes place. Hair. Makeup. Final fittings. Last looks. Then that split second when the energy shifts and it’s time to walk.

Kalista brought exactly that presence.

Wearing @mistertriplex, she captured the bold, unapologetic spirit that defines Las Vegas fashion — glamorous, fearless, provocative, and built to command attention.

Las Vegas Swim Week is always a collision of personalities, designers, models, cameras, and creativity, but backstage gives us a different perspective: the moments between the moments.

For TENS Magazine, that access is where fashion becomes more than the final image. It becomes the story behind it.

Backstage with Valentina @valentinaofficialmodel and Heather @heather.hboyd at Las Vegas Swim Week powered by @artheartsfashion just moments before the runway lights come up and the catwalk takes over.

Hair done. Makeup locked. Final looks ready.

There’s a very specific energy backstage before a show—the controlled chaos, last-minute adjustments, flashes going off, music building, and models preparing to step from behind the curtain into the spotlight.

Valentina and Heather are both in our frame, completely runway ready and carrying that unmistakable pre-show confidence. For a few seconds, everything slows down before the pace shifts and it’s time to walk.

This is the moment we love capturing: not just the runway, but everything that happens seconds before it.

Las Vegas. Swim Week. Backstage.

The electricity is real.

DESERT HEAT FROM A SNOW ANGEL

Sydnee Falkner @sydnee.falkner brought fire to the Las Vegas desert, commanding the runway at Swim Week powered by @artheartsfashion in Mister Triple X @mistertriplex, with the kind of confidence that turns a walk into a moment.

But it was backstage with Sydnee where we learned that the “Snow Angel of Alaska” knew exactly how to bring the fire to the desert.

From her Alaskan origins to becoming a Netflix star, Sydnee carries an unmistakable presence—equal parts cool confidence and undeniable energy. Dressed in Mister Triple X and under the Vegas lights, that energy translated into pure editorial electricity.

Las Vegas has always been built on spectacle, but Swim Week creates its own kind of heat: fashion, beauty, movement, and personality colliding in the middle of the desert.

And Sydnee understood the assignment.

From the Snow Angel of Alaska to the heat of Las Vegas.

Tawny Jordan brought the fire to an already scorching desert evening in Las Vegas. 🔥

Captured backstage at Las Vegas Swim Week, powered by @artheartsfashion, Tawny commanded the moment with effortless confidence, undeniable presence, and the kind of energy that doesn’t stop when the runway ends.

There’s something different about backstage—the anticipation, the heat, the movement, the few quiet seconds before stepping into the lights. It’s where fashion feels raw, immediate, and alive.

@tawnyjordan, Las Vegas. Backstage. Unfiltered.
