Interview with Natalie — Palijapite Model
Natalie is a 25-year old model residing in West Hollywood, California.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Natalie and I hail from the San Francisco Bay Area. I am new to Hollywood and learning as I go! My goal is to become the next Oprah and have my own television show. My family is a collection of amazing people of all different beliefs, ethnicities, and cultures. I believe it has helped me to communicate more openly with anyone and everyone. I like to screen-write and work out in my spare minutes. I dabble in directing, videography, event planning, personal assisting, screenwriting, photography, modeling, music managment and many other roles.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I have a message to get out to the masses about clear communication. People can benefit from getting to know how to speak to one another. Modeling gets the face of my mission known with the hope that it will evolve into curiosity and a following. I am a natural born leader and I want all people to lead their lives confident, non-dependent, and communicative. So many simple issues could be worked out with the right mediation. I will be the bridge for many conflict resolutions and my show will help my viewers better handle everyday issues.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
I would love to have a thriving show with a great audience and following. I would hope to be a well respected and admired individual who brought bridges to all who needed a mediator and another chance at repairing a relationship. I want to give people chances they normally would not have.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I am what you call a go getter, never sitting still or only working one job. Some people say that might compromise each project because the person isn’t focusing on one thing. I on the other hand am known for giving 100% to a well balanced load of projects. It’s how I was built to work, and will continue to work, by giving it my all. I dabble in photography, modeling, videography, acting, improv, directing, editing, writing, among much, much more.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
I avoid photogs that give off a bad vibe. So far I have been pretty happy with my shoots! My only concern is always turn around because as a photographer myself I know how long it can take for editing, but as a model it’s hard to be patient.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
Many a times I have hopped fences in beautiful dresses in order to capture an amazing probably illegal shot for a photographer. I love the thrill of it.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
Any stigmas with weight. I see models of every size and this chick is all about the base nawimean.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I am awful but trying to get better! I started a 30-day 1-gallon-a-day water challenge and have been cooking instead of eating out. I do a fitness ritual every morning and have been increasing my walking and squatting habits the past two months.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
My ethnicity. Guess…
Would you change anything about yourself?
I just got used to myself so no. Otherwise I would probably be ocd about the “new” on me.
What superpower do you wish you had? Why?
I wish I could read minds and see the future. Man that would be funtastic.
