Interview with Kyrstannie Day — Petite Model and Actress

Kyrstannie Day is a 20-year old model residing in Dublin, California.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Originally raised in Sacramento, I am a 20 year old model and actress living in the San Francisco area in sunny California. I have 6 brothers and was raised without my mom, who was a drug addict. My mom was not a part of my life and I’m happy to say I never amounted to a statistic. I’m just the daughter of a drug addict, not a by-product.

Most of my time is spent networking or on set. And if I’m not there you’ll find me working at a motorcycle shop part time! When I do have free time, it’s spent with close family and friends or writing script for films I hope to direct at some point in the future.

When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?

Modeling began for me right after graduating high school. I had a friend who was into photography down in LA and was up in northern California for a bit. So we met up, shot, and I was hooked from there! I saw a challenge that I wanted to take; being a model on the shorter side who wanted to make an impact in this industry. Eventually I branched out to acting and continue to grow and learn in both fields.

Personally, I want to be able to impact as many lives as possible in a positive manner. As a high school student with acne and braces, I never felt as if I fit in or was considered “beautiful”. If I can show others that there is no definition of perfect, then I’ve accomplished something. If at least one person can wake up in the morning feeling better about themselves, more motivated, and content then I’ve done my job.
Professionally, I would love to expand in not just modeling but acting. My passion is in both, but there is something about character roles that I love! In five years, my goal is to be in a successful blockbuster film, or directed one!, and potentially on a comedic TV show that people enjoy watching.

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

I’m on set acting more now than I am modeling. Typically I shoot 3 days out of the week, sometimes the whole week I’m booked on a project. I’m currently in the middle of a TV pilot and a couple feature films as well as some voice over work.

As far as modeling goes, I book about a shoot a week and do more commercial looks, fashion, love doing glamour, and lifestyle.

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

I remember showing up to a shoot one time and finding out I was modeling with the same car from 21 Jump Street. Not a similar looking one, the one. So that was a pretty cool experience and not what I was expecting at all!

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

One thing I would like to see change in this industry is something that is already being acknowledged and will hopefully lead to a more open and accepting world. And that would be the beauty campaigns showing women being themselves, not stressing about “being perfect”.

Kyrstannie Day wearing a black dressDo you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.

I currently take barre classes, which is a fusion of yoga, pilates, and ballet training, a couple times a week as well as work out on my own lifting weights and running. I’m at the gym 4 to 5 days a week.

As far as nutrition goes, I stay away from high sugar and sodium foods. I never want to promote not eating to stay thin or consuming under the recommended amount of daily calories. It’s all about moderation and eating as natural as possible. I’m big on chicken, rice, lentils, oats and grains, fruits, veggies. All the good stuff!

It’s important to keep in mind that what you put into your body is going to affect it one way or another. Treat your body right and it will do the same for you.

Would you change anything about yourself?

Nothing physical, it’s all about embracing who you are as long as you take care of yourself and are proud of it! Other than that, perhaps being able to be a little more forgiving and able to let go of things that don’t matter.

Are you currently in a relationship? How would you describe your partner?

My boyfriend is the absolute opposite of me! We have modeled together before and he is so shy and introverted. He’s a great guy but not too fond of going out and mingling with people like me.

    I know it’s trendy to say your parent made life diificult for you.. To say you had survived a hardship is even cool. You may even believe it if you tell yourself it enough times. But the facts of the matter are not as you have stated. How do I know? Because I’ve been in A relationship with your mother for close to 4 years now. The truth of the matter is your mother was dealt a terrible hand by those who claimed to love her. It s true that she did many drugs. It also true that she survived conditions that would surely have killed a weaker man. When I met your mother I thought she was going to die in a matter of months. Through my strong faith in god she was able to reignite her own strong faith and has been just short of a miracle in her own health and has ended her prescribed medications and feels better than she has felt in 20 years. I fell in love with your mom and we live in my cabin high in the mountains. All I can say to you is don’t believe everything you hear or have been told. The story I’ve been told is much differant. Your mom is a fine person with great faith and a loving soul. I’m proud to be at her side and I’m more than sure she was given an unfair wrap and only wishes to one day see her children and set a terrible misjustice that was purposely perpetrated against her by the very people that were supposed to stand by her side and love her through an extremely diificult time. Your mom loves all of you and always did. It was the powers that held influence over her that painted a picture that was extremely inaccurate and terribly unjust. I love her with all my heart. And I ain’t no joke. If any f this sounds worthy of a response give a few lines and tell me what you think. I would love the chance to set the record straight once and for all. Your mom deserves to be heard and I would be proud to tell her side of a tragic story that deserves your compassion and understanding. But be prepared to upend everything you have been told and brought up to believe. It’s time that the truth was told and those who spread the lies exposed. So if you got the guts, I got the time. With god at my side, we would love a chance to set the record straight and tell a story that I’m sure you have never been told. Thanks for your time in reading this heartfelt invitation to the rest of you and your moms lives. Michael walker.
