Interview with Anissa Rachelle Flores — Openly gay model and gogo dancer
Anissa Rachelle Flores is a 21-year old model residing in Fresno, California.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
Hello, I’m Ani for short. Born in Fresno as a libra where I started modeling, moved to Morro Bay and took up more challenging paid work. Wrestling is a big part of my workout in my daily life as well as eating on a vegan diet.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
When I was in middle school I took classes just to give me something to do during my free time. Soon my hobby sprouted into a dream and I eventually started making some money out of it.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
I hope to travel more and work with several photographers in each state. One of the best things about the industry besides being in front of the camera is being able to meet so many people who share similar interests.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I try and book a couple shoots a month. Mainly fashion, some implied, car and bikes, fitness, bikini work. I’ve done a few music videos and a few fashion shows catwalks.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
It’s always great to do a shoot with a new photographer and from that shoot get amazing feedback to where you get a bigger offer. It is hard sometimes you have to be careful with who you work with. There have been fake accounts that have tried booking.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
Not most of my shoots have humor though. I work in a very laidback manner where I dance consistently and make funny faces just to keep the atmosphere positive.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
The hate on other’s work. All of it is art, I wish others could see that instead of judge so harshly.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I wrestle, and hit up the gym frequently to lift weights. I practice yoga and meditation on my free time. I eat a vegan diet which consists of mainly fruits. Im a big pasta lover, italian would have to be my favorite dish.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
Not many people know that I have pictures of me as a baby in diapers trying to model. I love looking at them and seeing how far I’ve come so far.
Would you change anything about yourself?
I wish I had a bigger bust. But I’ve got no complaints. I was born with what I have and that’s a beautiful thing.
If you were the opposite sex for one day, what would you do?
If I was a male, I would constantly drink water and pee on every building and bush I passed by.
