Interview with Brittany Alexander — The Brunette CountryGirl Barbie “Model”

Brittany Alexander is a 20-year old model residing in Ocala, Florida.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Hey there everyone! My name’s Brittany but everyone calls me Britt for short. I’m a country girl at heart born and raised in the sunshine state of Florida! I live in a town called Ocala but I was born in Orlando. I am the youngest of two which makes me 20 years old. I have an older sister who is 23 and an older brother who is 27. I love anything outdoors including camping, kayaking, hiking, and my all time favorite the beach! It seems to be my home away from home. I also enjoy spending time with my family or just staying inside watching one of my favorite horror films. I’m a very friendly, outgoing, sweet girl that loves to meet new people!

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always enjoyed getting in front of the camera. Between dressing up and striking poses I just seemed to love it all! When I started middle school a lot of my friends and family would always tell me I should try to get in the modeling industry. Once I reached high school I figured I’d give it a shot. At 16 years old I attended a modeling and acting school in Orlando, FL. It taught me so much from posing, to runway walk, to so much more. I started making accounts on different modeling sites to gain exposure. I then got with a modeling scout in Orlando which gained me even more exposure. From then on out I get modeling jobs with photographers every once in a while and it really builds up my portfolio up. I currently am not signed with any agency due to my height. It is extremely hard to get into the modeling business but I will never give up on what I love!

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

Some of my personal goals would be to marry my soulmate, have two children preferably a boy and a girl, live in the beautiful country side of North Carolina while having an amazing career. Five or ten years from now I see myself hopefully further in the modeling industry, being able to travel the world and overall just living a happy lifestyle!

How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?

Overall I have been modeling for about four years now. I have never done any runway shows or video and acting yet. I have done a lot of photo shoots throughout the years including: bathing suit, fashion, non-nude lingerie, car shoots, sports, casual and glamour.

Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.

All the experiences I’ve had so far with modeling have been great! I have never came across any bad experience… yet! I always make sure to have rules before going to a shoot, that’s why I know I’ll always be safe and what not. It’s always good to be extra safe than not safe at all.

I always make sure I have fun at my photo shoots, that way I don’t seem so uncomfortable. So far nothing embarrassing has happened to me. Lots of photographers I work with have a positive attitude which makes it more fun as well which is always a plus!

Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?

As much as I love the modeling industry there is one big thing in my opinion that I would change which it being the height requirements. Lots of agencies will only take girls who are 5’9” and above. I just think that should be changed because every woman is beautiful in their own way no matter if they are tall or short. If they have what it takes to become a model for an agency I just don’t think it should be based on height. I am 5’4” and it is so hard for me to find a legit agency due to this rule.

Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.

I have always been a petite girl ever since I was little. I used to have such a bad time gaining weight. I would stay at the same weight for years. Now that I have gotten older I am gaining some weight, which makes me 100 lbs. I don’t workout much but if I do decide to, I make sure to get my sit-ups in for the day and a good mile run. As in nutrition I make sure to eat lots of vegetables and I also make sure to take a vitamin each day.

Would you change anything about yourself?

I would definitely never change anything about myself. God made me the person I am today for a reason. I am who I am and I love the woman I have become.

What is your favorite thing to do alone?

One thing I love to do alone is kick back and listen to some good country music! It really does sooth my mind and it relaxes me so much!
