Interview with Seedy — Freelance Model

Seedy is a 20-year old model residing in Gretna, Louisiana.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Hello viewers, my name is Sequence but I preferred to be called my model name seedy. I was born in New Orleans,Louisiana, have one brother and sister who goe by the name Kemper and Trenell, respectively; we were all raised by our Mother Carisa who’s a single parent. Some things I like to do when I have free time is play volleyball and dance, although if you know me then you know I have such a passion for those things but not more than I do with modeling.

When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?

Modeling wasn’t something that I always wanted to do, since I didn’t wake up and say “Hey I want to be a model”. It was just something I developed over time, and started out at the age of fourteen but didn’t take it serious until I was nineteen. To make a long story short I got with my cousin “Phylia” who’s a photographer and model also. Once I did my photoshoot with her I posted my pictures on Model Mayhem and jobs were pouring in.

Seedy sitting on a benchWhat are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

My goal is to open up my own modeling agency, and in ten years I definitely see myself running my own agency. I want to start my own agency because I want to give the young ladies a chance in the world, since I know the feeling of being rejected because you’re not the right size, or you don’t have the right look.

How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?

I’m usually modeling every four days out of a week. I’m a freelance model but I work mostly all categories dealing with fashion, art and glamour, and others. Modeling really consists of hard work and dedication, and also energy. As of right now I mainly do photoshoots but I’m training to walk so I can go out for NOLA Fashion Week casting in December.

Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.

One of my weirded out experiences was with my school photographer. I just felt uncomfortable because he took my Cap and Gown photos. Now that I graduated he’s taking my lingerie photos and that was creepy. My favorite shoot was with this guy I met through my cousin in Baton Rouge. He’s a real nice person but kind of creepy when you first meet him.

I remember when I did my first shoot outside in the bay water area. I had to change my clothes in the freezing cold and I bent over to take off my pants. My underwear tore in the back and this guy saw my naked behind.

Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?

If I could change anything in the modeling industry I would change height. I would at least start it off at 5’7.

Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.

I still play volleyball for fun and right now I’m really not a healthy eater but I’m working on it.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

One thing I can say is I’m a music jukebox. You name it I’ll sing it.

Would you change anything about yourself?

I love myself the way I am and I wouldn’t change a bit.

What superpower do you wish you had? Why?

I wish I had superpowers to turn any and everything into Popeye’s Chicken. Why? Well because I love Popeye’s and I’m just darn greedy.
