Interview with Lexy Lovestruck — Alternative Model
Lexy Lovestruck is a 17-year old model residing in Vacaville, California.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
I am Lexy. Born on July 1st 1997 in a small town in California. Alongside modeling I play guitar, sing, and write music, poetry, and stories. I enjoy painting and drawing, anything artsy and creative. I love being outdoors and in or near water. I live with my beautiful supportive mother who is the absolute best.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I got started on a more unprofessional side of modeling, having my friends take pictures of me and doing ”site-modeling” for a few years up until about two years ago. I really just did it because of all the people who said I wasn’t good enough or pretty enough to do anything useful. I was determined to prove them all wrong.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
I would really just like to have modeling take me as far as it possibly can. I want to make a difference in people’s lives and show them that they shouldn’t let cruel words of others tear them down, that they should take those words and use them as motivation to prove those people wrong. In five to ten years I hope to be following my musical and modeling dreams.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
Typically I do photo shoots, glamour and style is what it really consists of at the moment, in another year I will be doing much more.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
I have had a lot of good experiences and am very lucky! I have worked with quite a few great photographers, each one gives me new ideas that I can use and work with in the future. Every one has been a teacher to me in their own way, each person is different and there is no lack of knowledge to be gained from each new photographer I work with. The worst experiences are some really rude photographers I ended up not working with, saying they were ”doing me a favor” or just seemed too full of themselves or that I ”wasn’t good enough to be getting paid.”
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
Learning to do motion type shots was a little awkward for me at first, I had to try and walk a certain way and probably had to walk back and forth about a hundred times before I got it right.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
I wish that some photographers didn’t make such a big deal about bringing someone to a shoot. It really is a comfort and safety thing. I have heard too many stories of people getting hurt because they’ve gone to shoots alone.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I drink green tea extensively, do yoga every day, I eat a ton of fruits and veggies, drink smoothies, and eat lots of chicken. It is really important to me to stay healthy and to look good, it really helps with self confidence when you can look in the mirror and feel good about the way you look.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
I am extremely weird and quirky. I love reading, I enjoy collecting dead things, skulls and bones, oddities of any sort really. I have three dogs, a hamster, and two fish. I am Wiccan and am a little bit of a hippy. I love stones and crystals and am a very spiritual person.
Would you change anything about yourself?
Yes, I wish I was a bit taller than I am and that my hair was longer than it currently is. I am an extremely emotional person so I wish that I was a bit less sensitive.
What superpower do you wish you had? Why?
The power of flight. If I didn’t want to be in a certain place I could just fly away. Or if I wanted to do a photo shoot out of state imagine how much money I could save!
