Interview with Slim — Country, City and Nerd all in one
Slim is a 25-year old model residing in Morgan Hill, California.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Megan but I go by Slim. I was born in LA and moved many times for fun and business with my family growing up; Vegas, San Diego, Big Bear, Santa Cruz, and now Morgan Hill.
I’ve been in commercials and a Bon Jovi Music video when I was little. I’ve also been contacted by America’s Next Top Model and Donald Trump’s, Miss California. I turned both down for personal reasons though I do wish I hadn’t. I am 25 and been on my own since I was 19, I have had ups and downs with my family but we are now closer than ever and I love them very much, along with my friends, but they’re all just nuts.
I’ve taken a very professional turn in my career and work hard doing what I do, which is Marketing, Events Coordinating, and I’m the Office and Yard Manager for a Local Lumber and Construction Company. I’m loyal and fierce, I’ve never done drugs and nor will I. I drink socially and have a great time.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
Modeling per-se is somewhat recent, but I’ve been in the industry itself my whole life. As mentioned earlier I was in front of the cameras at a young age, then took a break throughout my teens and am now getting back into it. I’m a somewhat shy and composed person but once in front of the camera I come to life. I enjoy this and I want more.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
My professional goals are just starting to form. I’ve worked in the retail sector until about a year ago. I work in a fast paced company now and we are growing by the minute and I am so excited to be a part of it. I work very hard and hard work really does pay off, I’m finally proud of what I do.
In ten years I want to be on top, I want to be making a lot of money and having a blast and spoiling my family, have vacations; I want to buy my younger siblings their first cars, and my children if I am gifted with any by then. I grew up getting what I wanted and my mom struggled but she did it, now it’s my turn to help, and there won’t be struggle. I’ll do this whether I do well in modeling or I continue on the business path I’m currently on now.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I’ve only done a few photo-shoots, One music video, a few commercials, I’ve been on the local news a few times. I’m too busy to do it constantly. So far modeling doesn’t pay the bills.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
No super bad experiences so far, except driving a few hours away to do a pin up shoot, and got some of the greatest shots I’ve ever seen, spent all day doing it, then to go home to a phone call saying that the Memory Card failed. That was really a bummer. Other than that, really cool experiences and a lot of fun!
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
No, I haven’t done enough to really have crazy experiences. All of them have been very professional.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I love food, I eat all kinds, and I never look at the calories. I eat whatever I want when I want it. And the most exercise I do is maybe some leg bends here and there. I’ll get better if I need to when I’m older but my excuse is, my mom eats the same way, popped out four kids and could still walk the runway.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
I’m generally a very open person, I love to game, love Disney music. I come off very hard but I am very easily amused and my eyes light up like a child when I experience new and fun things.
Would you change anything about yourself?
I would love a boob job, that’s on my top to-do list, maybe a little work on my eyes to make them pop more, give the cat eye look without having to put a pound of make up on, and if I had money to spare, like a lot of money, maybe make my butt just a little bigger but not Kim K. big, that’s just not attractive. I love Jessica Biel’s butt, or Scarlett J.
What superpower do you wish you had? Why?
I love these type of questions!!!! Okay so, I would love to have Telekinesis powers!! I would love to not age and die. Read minds, but I already do that pretty well, so maybe not. I could literally go on and on; I love Marvel so I’m big on this kind of stuff!! Go X-Men!
