Interview with Rachael Elise — Glamour and swimwear model
Rachael Elise is a 21-year old model residing in Los Angeles, California.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
Hi there! My name is Rachael Elise. I currently live in Hollywood, born in San Dimas, and raised in Northern California, all of them in California. I love to hike, play sports and drink wine! Currently I attend school, will be graduating in September and pursuing a career in modeling.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I began modeling at a very young age, and began fashion modeling. As my looks changed I was more suitable for swim and lingerie modeling. I began appearing in music videos for various artists, and doing print work for local companies. I continue to do large amounts of print and video work to this day.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
My personal goals are to find that special someone, and to share my life with that person, and in the next few years start a family. I also hope to broaden my horizons when it comes to modeling, I would like to travel the world and experience new things.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
Currently I do 1 to 2 jobs weekly. From music videos, promo modeling, glamour print and commercial work. I try to keep myself well rounded, 1 to 2 times a year I’ll walk for different designers in LA fashion week or other private fashion shows.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
I Got the opportunity to work with amazing glamour models along with well known recording artists from Chris Brown, The Wanted, Baby Bash and many more. No negative experiences so far, fingers crossed!
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
The one thing I would change would be the expectations of women’s figures. From skinny to curvy, I believe all women are beautiful in their own way and feel that the fashion industry along with other parts of the modeling industry should accept and embrace models that aren’t the typical “cookie cutter”.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I do! I love keeping active and eating healthy; I tend to eat 3-4 balanced meals a day high in protein, and low in starch. I cycle 2 to 3 times a week, and weight train 2 to 3 times a week as well. I cannot stress the importance of taking care of your body, especially when you are young!
Please share something people don’t know about you.
I’m a natural dirty blonde!
Would you change anything about yourself?
I mean who wouldn’t want to change something. Do I wish I had thinner legs and a smaller butt? Yes. A straighter nose? A more symmetrical face? Of course. But I’m glad to have my little quirks and imperfections. It’s what makes me…. Me!
What features do you look for in a partner?
Well, first off the physical attraction has to be there! Let’s face it, we’re all driven by physical attraction -I know it sucks, but it’s true-. I’d say the guy has to have some sense of humor, I can’t stand guys who can’t laugh. Someone who is extremely driven, and passionate about what they do, because I myself am that way. Last they have to have some sort of family values, I like men who are caring and think of others before themselves.
