Interview with Princess Alice — Little bit of everything
Princess Alice is a 19-year old model residing in Bangor, Maine.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
Well, hello there. I’m Princess Alice and I’m about to let you know a bit about myself. I was born in Maine and was raised in a decent sized family that grew once my parents got divorced. I was raised to be accepting of other people which also helped when I became the age that I am because well, I’m not that normal. I have a handful of hobbies which are target shooting, archery, reading, theatre, obviously modeling, among others. I am currently going to college and studying psychology so I can help those who are or were effected by a type of eating disorder.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I started modeling due to my senior photos. The photographer who took my photos soon invited me to a group photo shoot. This lead to another group photo shoot and a few one on one shoots with another photographer plus the one who did my senior photos. Once I began to get more comfortable with modeling, I applied and was accepted into “The Chateau – Cat Girl Manor” and most recently was accepted into “KittenSightings”.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
My personal goals are to be able to eventually start my own eating disorder rehabilitation center and home in Maine. My professional goals are to be able to start being paid for my modeling, be more well known in the modeling community, and be in magazines. I honestly don’t know where I will be in 5 to 10 years. One thing I do know is that I will have pet cats for sure haha.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I try to model as much as I can with my two photographers I work with. This can be hard since my first choice photographer is booked until 2016 and my second photographer is also in school. The shoots usually depend on if they’re for The Chateau or KittenSightings. If not for those two then the photographer and I will decide on a theme and story behind the shoot. I have done fantasy, glamour, boudoir, pin-up, and horror so far.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
The best modeling experiences I’ve had is when I’m completely comfortable with the photographer I work with. This is usually though with my two main photographers. I have had a couple negative experiences with people who wanted to do shoots with me. The people will come off creepy and not consider how I feel, what will make me more relaxed, and will over all be incredibly rude. Turns out, these people were scams.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
Oh goodness! There was this one shoot I was doing in an abandoned train station in the summer of 2014. Since it was abandoned, there was a metric poop ton of bugs through out the building. I was posed up against a wall that some patches of plaster missing and the beams could be seen. While moving in different ways, I began to feel something on my arm. Without thinking, I looked down to see the huge spider. I’m deathly terrified of spiders so I immediately begin screaming and flailing around. When my photographer asks me what’s going on, I flung myself at her to get the damn thing off. Probably the one shoot that sticks out that makes the photographer and I always laugh.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
The only thing I can honestly think of at the time being is changing the height requirements. I may be biased though since I’m 5 foot 3 inches.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I honestly don’t really exercise besides stretching everyday. I run on the summer but I can’t during the winter here because my campus doesn’t have a track available during the winter and doesn’t have treadmills. I do try to eat as healthy as I can though. Most days I have salad with turkey or chicken on it for lunch. I only allow myself to eat fast food every other week if that.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
I absolutely freaking love any form of potato as long as it doesn’t have anything spicy in it.
Would you change anything about yourself?
I would change how I see myself. I want to have a more positive look of myself. That’s why I model, I’m hoping that I will slowly gain more confidence about myself through it.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Ben and Jerry’s fish food. You give me a pint of it and it will be gone in 30 minutes.
