Interview with Beth Wheeler — Hairstylist and model
Beth Wheeler is a 23-year old model residing in Modesto, California.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Beth Wheeler and I’ll start off by telling you a little about myself. I was born May 15, 1991. Right now, I live with my wonderful family. I got into modeling in 2010. I have worked with wonderful photographers around my area and some out of the area as well. I am a Promotional Model for Emerald Girls and looking for more jobs like that. I am also a Licensed Hairstylist. I got my licence in early 2014. I didn’t exactly always want to do hair. It was just something that sparked my mind so I decided to go in so I could check it out. I soon started Beauty College and ended up loving it. I couldn’t be anymore happier with the way my life is right now! It’s getting better and better each and every day!
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I’ve wanted to model since I was a little girl. My folks even took me to a place here in my home town to see if I can get started in modeling but they wanted too much money for me to even get started so unfortunately at the time, we had to turn them down. In 2010, I talked to a friend who was a published model and she told me how I could get started. I got my MM account approved and away my modeling career went. I became a promotional model and hoping to become more than just a promotional model.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
I hope to soon find a job as a Hairstylist in a salon nearby and become a well known model world wide. I want to be on covers of magazines, on billboards, in commercials and so much more! In 5 to 10 years I can see myself being a very successful model with lots of fans with a wonderful family of my own!
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I model as often as I could. Right now, I mainly do photo shoots but hope to get into video and acting, catwalks and different things as my career gets better.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
My best experience would have to be my first photo shoot with my Promotional Model Company because I was going to be featured in a magazine for the very first time. I put on my good attitude and went all out for making myself look the part for the magazine.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
I think a funny or embarrassing part of my career is when I did one shoot a year ago. The photographer, the photographer’s assistant and I took a walk out to a pasture and I was wearing lingerie for the shoot. There was lots of mudd and dirt everywhere out there. I had to wear heels for that part of the shoot. I was standing there and all the sudden the owner of the pasture, his dog came running up and jumped full force on me. I fell into a huge puddle of mudd and the dog took off. I look at my photographer and we all just laughed but that ended the shoot since I was covered head to toe in mudd. Over-all, it was a fun shoot while it lasted!
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
The only thing I would change about the modeling industry would be to be less picky with their models. People come in all shapes and sizes and should be treated equally.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
Once a day, I do a workout at home that lasts one full hour. I do full sit ups, horse kicks, weights, lunges and many other things to keep my body toned and tight. I don’t really have much of a diet because I’m already small as it is so there’s no need for me to diet. I try to eat more meat though and I’m always drinking lots of water to keep up during my long days.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
Up until I turned 18 years old, I always thought in my opinion that tattoos and piercings were trashy. Look at me now, I have four tattoos, and getting more, of course, and have my lip and belly button pierced. I used to have my tongue pierced but took it out awhile back.
Would you change anything about yourself?
Physically, I would change the size of my boobs. I want them a little bigger than they already are right now and I will one day get them done!
What is your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure would probably be me being obsessed with how I look every day. I never leave the house without my hair and make up done and having on nice clothes.
