Interview with Crissty Santana – Mexican fashion model
Crissty Santana is a Mexican beauty from Cabos San Lucas, Mexico. Besides modeling she enjoys dancing, beach and sun.
Do you have a nickname or artist pseudonym? Who came up with it and how?
“Kitty” anybody who really knows me or is family would call me Kitty, when I was little and I say what my name was I said Crissty but with my little voice it would sound like Kitty 🙂
When and how did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
It was in New York during one of those girly trips with your girlfriends, walking with 2 big suitcases I managed to still walk stylish on my stilettos, I somehow impressed a modeling agent. That’s how it all began.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five years?
My personal goal is to achieve happiness and be surrounded by people that I love and enjoy to be with. That could be a husband and kids but it could just as well mean being around my friends and family. Professionally I would like to some day – not too far in the future – host my own entertainment show for national TV.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
Unfortunately we all have bad situations and I did at the beginning of my career. I wasn’t checking if photographers I worked with were legit before agreeing to a photo-shoot. I was young and unexperienced. During a shoot, the photographer started touching my hair and skin, then tried to untie my shirt. I had to stop the shoot and leave. It was very scary and all I could think of was “I didn’t sign up for this”.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
Oh yeah, are you kidding me? Who hasn’t. So, I should probably not say this but whatever I’m human and we all have our embarrassing moments right? I was very sick with a cold for one of my shoots, and I really didn’t want to miss it never the least cancel on a very professional photographer and magazine editor so I went and pulled it off together but on our very sexy intense moment I had to sneeze and a very not sexy bugger came out and almost got it all over the photographer and his lens, yep, not kidding. So embarrassing! good thing they took it really funny and we even got more comfortable with each other and rocked the shoot! #neversneezeduringyourshoot
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
I love modeling, so maybe the answer is no. I really would love to see more curvaceous women in the runaway. I agree skinny tall girls DO look more edgy and designers need the perfect physique to showcase their creations, but I believe most women would like to vision themselves on them, I’m one of them.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat?
I exercise at least 5 days a week. I enjoy basketball and was never a girly girl when little, more of a tomboy. You would typically find me eating wraps, salads, sandwiches and favorite of all steak with A1 source, oh and tacos duh, I’m 100% Mexican.
Please tell us something most people don’t know about you.
I can’t sleep without socks. If I had no other options, I would wait till your sleep and I will steal yours if you have any, hehe.
Would you change anything about yourself (physical or otherwise)?
I would probably like to be taller but I’m 5’6 for a reason and whatever the reason is, I’m fine with it 🙂
