Interview with Manda Dawn — Freelance Model
Manda Dawn is a 20-year old model residing in Cataula, Georgia.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
Hi there everyone! I go by Manda Dawn. I am an 18 year old Georgia peach. I was born and raised in Georgia; I graduate this year, and am just so happy to be done with high school! I have a crazy family, that you can’t help but love. A unique hobby I have is playing and taking care of my pet squirrel Nutella. I looove to sing, it’s I guess you could say my passion or talent. Eventually, I am going to go to college to get my degree in psychology. I really love helping, and just caring for people the best I can.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I have always wanted to get into modeling, but just never knew exactly how, especially living in a really small town. I just needed some kind of opportunity. After going through months of training with Barbizon USA, and learning a lot about modeling, I wanted to take it a step further. I got into modeling because what girl has not fantasized about all eyes being on her? I have always thought the idea was just super cool, and thought I would be great for it!
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
In 5 years I see myself with my psychologist degree, hopefully opening up my own business to try to help people better themselves and just understand their situations. In 10 years I hope to have a beautiful family, to share my success with, and build an empire with.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
Well, I love new opportunities, but can not take every little thing that comes my way. I mainly do photo shots and videos. I love doing fashion, erotic or lingerie, bikini and glamour shoots. Most times I am loaded down with shoots to do all over!
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
I have never really had a bad experience so far, and hope not to have one either. I am just a very bubbly person, so I am always smiling and dancing around behind the scenes of shoots and videos. I love when the photographer has music playing, it relaxes me so I can do my thing!
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
I love doing bikini shoots, because most of the time you are outside and have tons of people around you, mainly on the beaches. It’s funny to me because you never know what is going on in their head.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
There is a lot I would change in the modeling industry if I could. One main thing that really bothers me, is stereotyping. Most people think you have to be stick thin, or a skyscraper to model, but I believe that if you are devoted and dedicated, why can’t you do what you love? The industry has all types of modeling, from runway to plus size modeling, and size and shape should not matter, but it does to many.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I used to do track, before I grew really big boobs! I exercise at least 5 times a week. I think everyone should do some form of exercise, and stay motivated to do it also. You should stay active, even f it’s just walking up and down your driveway. I try to eat healthy, usually eat salad, fruits and stay drinking water. Even when I go out to eat, I order water with lemon. I’m not saying I always eat healthy, I would be lying… everyone has their cheat days, but after I make sure to work it off.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
A lot of people are shocked when they find out I do not drink, smoke, or party. I just have my standards like everyone else, but I never judge anyone for doing what they like and want to do. Another interesting fact is I am only 5’0, 18, with size 32H breasts and still growing… Wow, right?
Would you change anything about yourself?
Everyone has something that they would change about themselves, but I can honestly say I love who I am and how I look! God made everyone the way he did for a reason, so why try to alter that? I believe that everyone is beautiful and unique in their own way.
What was the meanest rumor ever spread about you?
Oh gosh, what rumor hasn’t been spread about me? From my boobs being fake, to me having an STD, I went through so many rumors. All the girls and my so called “friends” just loved to run their mouth about me, all because of my body, jealousy is not pretty.
