Interview with Cia Lee — Gamer model with 13 pets

Cia Lee is a 24-year old model residing in Coral Springs, Florida.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

I am a Middle Eastern and Russian model who has too many pets. I am professionally represented and have walked for Miami Fashion and Swim Week, Art Basel and quite a few others. Aside from modeling I have a stream on Twitch.tv/katsallday where I have a nice fanbase building. I was born in Hollywood FL.

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

I was scouted at age 12 to be a model for a Hawaiian photoshoot. I have been working ever since.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

Well, honestly in 5 years I hope to be working full time in my own no kill animal shelter. Matter of fact that’s what I would be doing 10 years from now too. As for modeling in 5 years, hey if they still want me I’m down.

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

I’m a runway model mainly, but will do avant garde edgy photoshoots too. I’ve done a couple campaigns for websites and I even hair model. I book about 1 to 2 big runways a month, with over 200 in audience, and 5 to 10 photoshoots.

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

Best experience – Walking Art Basel in Miami, where I wore a rock cast skirt that was impossible to bend your legs in. Two security guards had to lift me up onto the stage. I did my walk, turned around and the guards were gone. I had to jump off the stage in 6 inch heels. The crowd went crazy and I didn’t break my ankle!

Worst experience- I don’t think I have one. Maybe that one time when I twisted my toe back on stage and had to endure the pain forever after while people took pics.

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

I walked a bikini show in Miami for a swimwear company. It was at a hotel pool. They chose me to jump into the pool on my return walk. It was on tv. So cool.

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

I think I would like to change the agency fee; 20% is a lot when your pay is more than a few hundred.

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

Ok, this is where I differ from most models. I beat anorexia in my teens and I cannot diet due to it. I eat what I want when I want and I’ve found that my body will stop me before I eat too much. If I want to eat a deep fried twinkie and wash it down with cherry coke I will. I’m lucky to have a body that doesn’t gain weight too easily. I don’t exercise. I have a mild heart condition. Honestly I wake up, eat, play video games, walk the dog, eat, maybe model, maybe play more video games then I eat and sleep. That’s a day in the life of me.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I have automatonophobia. Im afraid of when robots take over the world. They will.

Would you change anything about yourself?

I would change my heart condition. And my feet are wayyy too small for my height so I’m kinda clumsy; 5’11 and a size 8 shoe.

What superpower do you wish you had? Why?

I wish I could hover. Not even fly. Just hover. I have a DnD 3.5 character named Lee, she has hoverboots. I want to hover like her.

Interview with Jennifer Lynn — “The Skinny Girl Model”

Jennifer Lynn is a 25-year old model residing in New York, New York.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Hey! My name is Jennifer Lynn. I grew up in Doylestown, PA. It’s a cute little town in Bucks County. I have an amazing family. My mom, dad, two brothers, sister-in-law, and my two little nephews who I love all to death! I am a big family person, we all get together on the weekends and party! In the winter time it’s football, fires in the fireplace, and pool table games in the rec room. In the summer it’s baseball, grilling and swimming pool fun! I love both my nephews, Jamison is just a baby but Sean is my crazy, fun little 3 year old buddy. My nephews are the ones I cherish the most when I’m not modeling or doing crazy tattoo adventures.

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

I love the camera, always have. When I was little and my dad would break out the dinosaur size video camera, I had to be the star of the show. I also remember getting my very own camera when I was younger and taking selfies when I was 7! When I turned 14 I begged my mom to let me go to Barbizon School of Modeling. When I was 18, that’s when I got my first tattoo and figured why not do both hobbies in one! I would surf the internet and see these beautiful tattooed models and right away appreciate their beauty. I think everyone is beautiful in their own way and that’s how I wanted to be seen.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

I have a couple goals I need to meet. With all my goals I always make sure to be happy and healthy. I want to travel the world! Professional goals would be to meet many people in the industry as well as working with them.

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

My workload is steady right now. I mainly do photoshoots including lingerie, glamour, fashion and nude. I am just getting into traveling and doing tours in other cities and states. I have done TV and video and about to enter the world of feature films!!! I am very excited about that!

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

I have had many experiences during my time as a tattooed model. When I started I didn’t understand the importance of tattoo placement on your body. I also didn’t know how important it was to have good art work on your body as well. When I would get tattoos when I was younger I didn’t pay attention to any of that stuff and now I regret it. I want to be the best that there is. I want the quality of my tattoos to be the same quality as the photos I produce.

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

I haven’t had too many embarrassing moments as of yet. I am very awkward in heels so I avoid them at all costs, if I wore them more often it would make for some embarrassing moments.

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

If I could change anything about the modeling industry it would have to be the misconception that models have a glamorous lifestyle. Let me tell you it’s not all lingerie and sunshine.

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

Sports… No way! I do like a good game of badminton in the summer time though. I love to eat! I am a skinny girl and I can eat a lot! I eat very well. I’m in love with vegetables and eating organically. I stopped eating fast food probably about 5 years ago and soda about 7 years ago. I try to stay away from red meat sometimes, but I love a good juicy burger! I don’t exercise, I should… but I don’t. I don’t have any diet tips the skinniness just runs in my family.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

There is not much no one knows about me. I have a Q&A that I do on my youtube channel and I am very honest with my fans. Check it out…

Would you change anything about yourself?

Yes, physically I would change my spine!! I mention this to my followers and fans every once in a while. I have scoliosis! It’s terrible I need surgery. It’s getting to the point where it is now affecting my posing in pictures. My back does not arch like most models because of the curvature and I’m in a lot of pain after a photoshoot.

Where is the weirdest place you’ve ever peed?

haha! This may be weird to some girls but I just recently took my first pee outside!! Is that too much…? haha! I was taking a road trip out west to California and there were no bathroom stops. I was around Arizona and I pee’d in the desert next to a huge cactus!!

Interview with Charrdonnay — Fashion student turned Model

Charrdonnay is a 21-year old model residing in Denver, Colorado.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Hey Everyone my name Is Charrdonnay I’m from Memphis and now officially a Colorado Native. I’m the youngest of three, and I come from a very talented family. My middle sister just qualified for the U.S bob sled team. My brother is a very well established artist in Denver so it’s only right to try and live up to their talents. I’m Fashion design student at Emily Griffith and in the process of opening up an online clothing store, but that might take another year or so. I love being outdoors and around friends and family, I’m not big on the club scene but I do enjoy a good night out. I love restaurants and I really want to start traveling this year.

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

I started modeling when I was 18 years old; I did an open casting call for an agency called Avant Tout, it was a small agency. I did a lot of runway and about a year later the agency moved to Texas. I went freelance for a while and developed myself even more. During that year I found a lot of work doing glamour and swim wear. I’ve done 3 magazines and I signed with an agent that is based in Atlanta and I have some great things coming this year, so much acting and many many more magazines.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

In 5 years I see myself running my clothing store and accomplishing all my major modeling and acting goals. I’m trying for Maxim magazine and I’ve been offered to do French Playboy, also a few acting gigs so I have some big stepping stones ahead of me.

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

I model pretty frequently; right now my agent is having me practice my posing 15 minutes a day in the mirror. I have a full body mirror in my bedroom that I practice in. There isn’t much that I haven’t tried modeling. I still love high fashion but I mostly do glamour swimwear, lingerie and some nude.

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

The past 6 months have been my best modeling experiences. I loved working with new photographers and make up artist but I think more is yet to come. I think the best so far was when I got published In Moorish Hareem Magazine and my photo was right next to girls who have been in Maxim and Playboy. It was also nice to gain followers of my social media and being offered to work with my own agent. I look forward to what other great things I can accomplish.

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

My father was a body builder and he was always big on health and nutrition. I was the kid who was eating cauliflower and carrot sticks. I work out three to 5 times a week depending on how busy my schedule is. I love playing volleyball and dancing; I took a belly dancing course and had a blast. I pretty much walk everywhere, I enjoy lifting weights and yoga. My diet is more balanced than anything, in fact I love fruits and lean meats, not too much red meat; I keep it light mostly chicken and fish.

When I really need to tone up, my sister writes my diet plan. But I do love sweets, that’s my weakness. I do fat Friday where I can eat all the donuts and sour patch kids my stomach will let me, although I do eat dark chocolate during the week. Don’t get me wrong, diet and excercise is very important. I’ve come to realize it makes modeling easier. A lot of people don’t understand that the better your skin and your body are, the more photographers and make up artist want to work with you. You don’t have to be physically perfect, but I think diet and exercise help with your mental state as well and keeps you happy and pleasant.

Would you change anything about yourself?

No, I wouldn’t change a thing about myself. I used to want to change everything but I’m learning to love myself and others would love me too. Everyone has low self esteem days but even on those days you have to find the light in yourself and love yourself especially in this industry, since it’s solely based on looks but people should also know you leave an impression as well.

Have you ever gone without wearing underwear all day? Why & what did you do?

I rarely wear underwear, it’s a comfort thing for me. I really just go about my daily life, I’ve gone to work and school. One time I had forgotten to wear them… it was quite embarrassing especially when it’s a gown that it takes 2 people to get you into.

Interview with Mariah Sue — Youtube Beauty Vlogger and Model

Mariah Sue is a 23-year old model residing in Waterbury, Connecticut.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

I was born in Canada, Fredricton NB to be exact, but only lived there a few short months. I guess my father, who is a a canadian native, just wanted his only daughter to be born there. I was raised in CT my whole life, although I am not the biggest fan of it. I feel like there isn’t much of a future in the career paths I have in mind. I have a great family and an even more amazing boyfriend; I went to cosmetology school so I am a licensed cosmetologist and I also Film Beauty videos for YouTube – I go by “Pinkl0vexx” or “Mariah McLean” for which I film makeup and hair tutorials as well as other fun videos like hauls, what’s in my purse etc; I truly love what I do and it’s been a blessing to get some income from doing what I love. Makeup is my passion and I like to believe I have true talent with it. Although I continue to learn everyday.

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

Back in 2010, I had a “friend”, for whom I use the term loosely because she was a total bitch, who modeled. She always would post racy pictures on Facebook but I always liked them and would comment and be like “wow hottie!” She would always encourage me to model and I would be “great at it” so one day I asked her who to go to and she set me up with a great local photographer named “Jay Walker” He was awesome and totally a great mentor. I still talk to him, and she ended up getting jealous and told people I had copied her.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

I just want to be happy. If you’re happy, then life is good. I would love to see my youtube channel take off and make that my full time career and income. I would also love to be featured in Inked Magazine and any other tattoo magazines. I have a dream to be playboy centerfold but unfortunately due to my tattoos, my dreams of being a bunny may never happen. I was told by a PB photographer that the “tattoos would be an issue” and so that kind of shot me down. I still would love to submit one day though.

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

I honestly don’t model as often as I would like to. I am super hard on myself and if I am not committing to eating well and exercising often, I won’t shoot. Although I do have plans for upcoming shoots this year! I would love to break into music videos one day, that would be pretty cool. I enjoy glamour modeling, lingerie and would only do nudes for a well established company such as Playboy.

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

I have had pretty much great experiences. I have been able to network and meet some really awesome photographers who have worked alongside well known photographers. I have had the chance to actually conversate with some well known PB photographers which blows my mind sometimes; modeling has opened some doors… of course I would love to see some bigger doors open but it’s such a tough industry to get into because everyone thinks they’re a model nowadays especially with Instagram and Instafame.

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

Looking back I think some of the funniest moments were being shy to do implieds or something just because you’re stark naked, you literally can’t be shy or feel intimidated by a photographer, unless you have reason, because in this industry, if you make it big, everyone will see you naked.

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

Less competition would be nice… hah. Just because it’s tough for you to get noticed when there are so many other chicks doing the same thing. You literally have to bring something new to the table! I would also like for the girls not to be so stuck up and support one another. It’s all about women empowering other women!!

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

I try to eat low carbs and hit up the gym often. I used to have trainers but that always ended up awkward, as you can imagine… haha. But they taught me some awesome techniques and good dieting tips so I am thankful for that! Nutrition is everything. Some people think they can workout and eat whatever they want but that’s so wrong! Having a healthy diet in conjuction with exercising is when you’ll see some amazing results!

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I was raised in a very strict religious household and I am a tough tough cookie; a lot of people underestimate my strength, just ask my boyfriend, he always says “you would kick any girl’s ass” haha.

Would you change anything about yourself?

I wouldn’t change anything, God made me the way I am and I embrace it.
I used to want fuller lips and considered lip injections but the way Kylie Jenner has made every girl do it, I have no interest – I enjoy being different, I hate being like everyone else!!

If you had only 24 hours left to live, what would you do?

I would do some wild shit – skydive, anything dangerous and something I wouldn’t typically do! I would literally take chances and be fearless for those 24 hours!

Interview with Roxey Mcloo — Jack of all trades master of some?

Roxey Mcloo is a 24-year old model residing in Blanquillo, Durazno, Uruguay.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

I am a native Colorado pup born in Boulder Colorado, I’m half mutt, a 1/4 Slovak, and got some french and chitimatcha in me. I always wanted to be knowledgeable about something the way my big bro knows all about cars and mechanics. My dad is an amazing nobody from Kansas, who never graduated college and lived life as an artist and VW mechanic, my mom is a High School dropout from Fairview high who carved her way in the world despite accidentally becoming my mom when she was 19. She’s got huge saggy boobs and grows a dark mustache under nose naturally, which are two traits I’ve always been proud of and loved her for, because they make her uniquely her. My dad ended up becoming a dental assistant in the military and became very sick from Mercury poisoning, he’s been challenged by his health and ongoing shooting pains as long as I can remember, and therefore doesn’t get out much. He used to be an artist in Boulder until I came around.

I grew up dirt poor in a trailer with an outhouse and no running water in Cotopaxi, Co. I would totally do it again too! I had the great privilege of having my mom and father available to me, we couldn’t afford stuff, or food very well either, but generally always got by. I played Soccer for 8 years, became lazy and paunchy and soo friggin inflexible after I quit due to some chronic knee pain from an underdevelopment of my quads and lack of development in my Sartorious. I started to have really bad knee pain and quit soccer but not the athletic diet I had. I started dancing Argentine Tango when I was 15 about to be 16, I have a BS, I know ASL -American Sign Language- Spanish and some German; I teach Pole fitness, I have my cosmetology license, and I’ve always struggled with reading and comprehension, but I love math and am a totally movie buff, star trek geek, and I love to play video games!

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

A friend of a friend was modeling, back when I was 11 and had me go with her on a shoot, the photographer actually thought I was a total dud at first, then he took us back to the studio and became impressed with my expression of self as we got to raid his modeling closet of clothing. From there I always enjoyed being in front of the lens and slowly built my confidence in myself. I really had no concept of self image and was regularly surprised when any boy would take interest in me. I was used to being called a slut for having cartridge piercings in my ears, I wore boxers, baggy jeans and loose t-shirts, growing up. I’ve always had a knack for body language, and have always been involved in the arts, I am more of a drawer and a sketcher at heart and have found the new confidence in myself to peruse tattooing.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

After trying to have children for three-ish years, I’ve shifted my focus and bought a puppydog for the 1st time and plan to continue my work with health and well being and inspire confidence in one’s own image and beauty, my husband and I are hoping to open a gym or life fitness center that shares our love and passion for life and well being. I’m an aspiring tattoo artist so I imagine that should pick up in 5 years as well. My newest endeavor is my work as a model and a hair make up artist for Nika P Photography. I plan to continue connecting with people and inspiring them to be their best. So performing for pole dancing, aerial silks, Argentine Tango, traveling, dancing, eating and meeting other fun loving quality of life enthusiasts.

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

As far as the modeling world goes I’m still a nobody, I mostly enjoy creating beauty, My husband is a photographer so I get spoiled with the opportunity to model for him, I haven’t done anything too main stream, thus far but am making my way athletically and do modeling more on the side, most the time it consists of studio creativity or on-site city walking around and using unique backgrounds, I love doing funky and old things as well.

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

Yeah, I’ve found there are a lot of egos in any of the Art worlds, and if I had the magical power of granting wishes, I would hope people would treat each other more respectfully, and not just to conclusion and be so attached to their assumptions of people, but I usually keep that to myself.

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 health and nutrition! It’s been an intellectual pursuit as well as an ongoing lifestyle. I don’t believe in quick fixes or dieting, I believe in healthy and thoughtful living, I do my best to be well and respect my food and the sources it comes from. I personally avoid cigarettes, and believe in feeling out what feels good for me to eat in the right moment, it’s always been a matter of common sense and forth coming effort to treating my body good. I regularly practice Bikram Yoga, I teach pole fitness and dance, as well as Argentine Tango and recently have connected with Awaken Gymnastics, I love dancing and moving and stretching.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I have never been shit faced drunk. and I often enjoy awkward moments, umm also most people fail to notice I have freckle on my lip, like the pink part, not the ‘skin’ part, oh, and I love blueberries. Like Hard core.

Would you change anything about yourself?

Nothing really, and I say nothing simply because I believe in loving and accepting myself for where I’m at in life, and I fail miserably a lot of the time, but such is life right? just gotta keep trying and keep on keeping on, I always say expect the worst and hope for the best and be happy either way or do something about it rather then waste energy on complaining.

Have you ever gone without wearing underwear all day? Why & what did you do?

I did it yesterday, the breeze was great, I just might do it again.

Interview with Model Max — From nothing to something

Model Max is a 24-year old model residing in Chicago, Illinois.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

When I was four years old I was adopted from Russia because my parents were abusive and alcoholics. That was one of the best times of my life but it had led to one of the most heartbreaking goodbyes when I had decided to pursue my own choices and dreams of being a model. My family hadn’t agreed with my life and they hadn’t changed much because I had to watch my brother walk out of the door to live on the streets when he was 17. I was taught to always follow the rules and follow the family tree so for years I didn’t have a voice but once I realized how hard it was to have nothing I worked ten times harder to be somebody. I worked out day in and day out to lose weight and still I had felt that no one noticed, so I had an idea of becoming a model. Did I know what a model was or even did? No. But when I had stepped in front of the camera I had found myself. My own voice and my personality had come out. I felt as if that’s all I had and even have.

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

It’s been a year and a half since I started to model but I started on Craigslist and I had called professional photography places to ask and get a better understanding of what it takes to be a model and I still always felt as if something was missing. I never got answers there but then I started to join online contests and networking with others on social media. I met some great people along the way and have gotten to understand people. I fell in love with finding myself and the more I did it I lost and gained many relationships. I found out who was there and who wasn’t there for me. It’s an industry that will truly mold you into who you are.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

My personal goal is to be the best person I can be by staying true to others. I will never lose my head or myself because of all the heartbreak. To this day I fight it and I plan on taking my humbleness the entire way. I’ve met people on the top and bottom and I must say that I had learned something from everybody including myself. These are personal but my professional goal is to become a fashion designer. I was blessed to have a second chance by being accepted into the Art Institute in Chicago so ten years from now I can see myself giving great opportunities to the misfortunate and all the people who deserve a chance to be someone.

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

Lately I’ve slowed down to focus on school. I shoot from time to time and I still workout but modeling is very spontaneous and you have to be patient so I’ve found a passion to only shoot for fashion and underwear modeling. If other opportunities came up I would still shoot but I love to shoot for a purpose.

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

My best experience in modeling was to be chosen as top 20 out of 400 nationwide for an international modeling calendar. Yes that sounds typical but my number one experience was to look back and see how far I’ve come physically and mentally because a year ago I did have my worst experience that had led me into almost giving up. I had an entire portfolio done by a famous designer in Chicago and in the end I hadn’t received a single photo. I was talked up and built up to only crash and burn in the end. I knew it was coming but I found the strength to get up and keep going. I never gave up and it had only led to me being stronger today.

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

Yes, I fell in love. I had met a very talented makeup artist and bodypainter that has completely changed my life around. She’s my strength that keeps me going daily. She had seen how far I’ve come and she’s done the same but I will say that among everything I’ve gained in my entire career, love is the best thing that I had gotten from it. A blessing that had come after my decision of not joining the military.

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

Yes. The stereotype of only having to be good looking and confident. It is a major plus but it takes away from all the people that truly don’t believe in themselves.

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

Greens, rice, and chicken is the ultimate diet. Bread is a no no and it’s crazy to know that most of this world has some of the worst foods for you. Fast food is a complete lie and if it could be changed so that everyone knows and understands that your health is the most important thing for you. It gives you a better mood and energy as well. Also my sport of choice is running. It’s not something you should do but it’s something that you should want to do because running is a mental sport that gives you the time to reminisce about you, your life, your gains and your struggles. It’s truly saved me to keep going and better, yet I’m staying healthy while I’m growing physically and mentally.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I’m a writer. I love to write ️poetry; drawing and art has been a huge part of my childhood.

Would you change anything about yourself?

None of us are perfect but I wouldn’t change a thing about me. I am who I am today because I don’t put myself first and I accept myself to who I am.

What is a trait that everyone should have

Is to never give up on someone. We all make mistakes and forgiveness is one of the best qualities to have. We aren’t perfect people but we can teach each other to be better by standing for someone.

Interview with Chrissy Neptune

Chrissy Neptune is a 25-year old model residing in Boulder, Colorado.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Although I was both in Carlisle, PA, I was raised with my brother and sister in South Carolina by my -amazing- single mother. Any time…

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

I wanted to model at a young age, and had the benefit of a supportive mother. When I was in my pre-teens, I was able to participate in workshops and seminars in order to educate myself on “the business.” I ended up taking a break to work on theatre and music, and stumbled back into modeling by a happenstance when I was 22. I had a friend mention an opportunity to model for a local clothing company named Luna Claire, and after that shoot, I knew I would continue the journey.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

My goal personally, is to create magic and beauty. I think the process of taking ideas and turning them into reality is pure magic, and I believe beauty is essential to a joyous life. I should clarify that I believe beauty is anything that carries sensation and engages the soul in the moment, so it is all defined individually, and not confined to visuals.
Professionally, I would like to focus on music more. Singing will always be my favorite thing in the world. In five years, I hope to have a full album recorded and on Spotify.

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

On average, I model once a week. This usually consists of photo-shoots for clothing catalogs and website promotions on a commercial level. I also love fashion and art photo-shoots, though those happen less frequently.

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

If I could change anything about the modeling industry, I would make things more organized overall. Last-minute cancellations, tardiness, or having little-to-no communication with your creative director can be fatiguing. You always want to be on the same page in order to get the best shots possible.

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

Every morning I stretch for 20 minutes, and try to be sure to do body-resistance exercises for at least 15 minutes per day. Otherwise, I walk and bike everywhere I go, weather and distance permitting.

When it comes to my diet, I am a grazer. Throughout the day, I will munch on trail mixes, veggies and hummus, or graham crackers and peanut butter if I am feeling sweet. Lunch usually consists of a veggie sandwich, and dinner almost always has a meat, mixed veggies, and rice or potatoes. My weakness is cheese though, especially sharp cheddar.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I was a janitor for college dorms for 4 months. It was surprisingly fun, albeit quite disgusting at times.

Would you change anything about yourself?

I would change my feet. They aren’t bad looking, they just hurt all the time because of heel-spurs. I would love to be able to run without a grimace on my face. Internally, I would like to remove my insecurities. This is a process that I actively work on.

What superpower do you wish you had? Why?

If I could have any superpower, I would have a green thumb. The ability to heal and grow plants instantly would be the best I think. I could grow food or flowers, and heal trees and crops. I have a hard time finding a “downside” with this ability!

Interview with Kittie Kosmetic — From Cosmetology to Cameras

Kittie Kosmetic is a 21-year old model residing in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

I was born in Los Angeles, California on April 20th 1993. I was born to two immigrated parents from Albania and Trinidad, with two older sisters already in the picture. Growing up I always had a huge love for the 50s and 60s, the classic style of a pin up, and makeup. As some hobbies I took interest in painting, singing, dabbling with special effect make up and naps.

My interest include horror films, old cinema, comics and fashion. After school I went to cosmetology school and shortly after graduation started to model.

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

Right after I graduated I worked on photo sets as Hair and Make up person. One day after the model ran late the photographer on set asked if he could shoot me, after he published the photos on Facebook the rest wrote itself.
I just bounced around doing shoots and local events that called for models and networked myself out.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

Professionally, I’d love to make the cover of a tattoo magazine one day, and start a lingerie line.
Personally, start a little punk rock family in the middle of suburbia and find myself on the beach every other day… or just become a mermaid.

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

I shoot whenever I can, unfortunately real life gets in the way of me playing dress up. Idealy one day I’d love to shoot at least once a week.

When I find myself in front of a camera you can bet I’m most likely seductively posed in some pumps, red lipstick, a garter belt and pin curls, as the little pin up of your dreams. Though on occasion I’ll go out of my zone and go editorial.

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

How can I pick a best moment… each time I shoot the people I’ve worked with have been wonderful and have left great lasting memories that make me want to strive in this career. Luckily I haven’t had any worst experiences; fingers crossed I’ll never do.

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

I always feel really awkward when I shoot in public and people stare or take their own photos while I hold a pose…. weird…

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

I think it is what it is and I love it for what it is.

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 home cooked meals. But as far as precise diet and exercise I really don’t do anything. I’d like to thank my mom and dad for the genetics.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I’m terrified of the dark and to do a cartwheel….. They scare the hell out of me,

Would you change anything about yourself?

I’d love to have a bigger ass, but other than that, I really like myself.

Do you have any fears or phobias?

I hate the dark, I will cry if I’m stuck in a dark room. I sleep with 3 night lights and the TV on.

Interview with Kelly Wykstra — Maxim model

Kelly Wykstra is a 21-year old model residing in Fort Collins, Colorado.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

I was born in the small town of Steamboat Springs, CO. I am the youngest of four kids but my cousins are all basically like siblings to me. My cousin and best friend PFC Jacob Wykstra died in Afghanistan earning the bronze star among other awards. I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, sketching, and traveling.

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

I first got involved when I was nine and got published in Patagonia, I was hooked from then on.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

In five years I see myself being hopefully published with Sports illustrated swimsuit edition and getting cover spreads in Maxim. In ten years I want to travel the world.

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

I mostly do print work involving swimsuit and lingerie as well as some high fashion shoots. I model typically once a week.

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

I think the best experience was the first email from Maxim. It was so exciting to get that recognition. The worst experience was when I did a casting call in LA that lasted 18 Hours a day for three days! Those are the tests that show how much you really want it.

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

I mean, I am clumsy… I have something else happen to me every shoot! There was one shoot where I was working with a photographer in Arizona and doing a shoot with only one ace bandage covering my body. We ended up doing the shoot in the Middle of the U of A campus. It was mortifying when my ex boy-friend came up to say hello!

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

I don’t think so. It’s a cut throat business and it’s a harsh business, but that’s part of what makes it so attractive to me. I love modeling and the competitiveness just pushes me to be the best I can.

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

I go on a two mile run with my dogs everyday and go to the gym for an hour a day. As far as nutrition goes, I’m pretty lucky. I eat more than most girls probably do, and sugar is my kryptonite. I try to eat a balanced meal the best I can but I am in college so sometimes I go back to the ramen diet!

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I can cross one eye at a time and love wearing onsies at home!

Would you change anything about yourself?

As ironic as this sounds, I would change my self esteem. I have always been a little shy and never had much confidence. Most of the time modeling is networking, I have most out on a lot of opportunities because I was too scared to say I wanted it.

What is the kinkiest thing you’ve ever done?

One christmas I went home to a boyfriend’s house with him, his parents had us in separate rooms all week. So one night I snuck out of dinner early complaining of a stomach ache. Instead I tied myself to his bed with ribbon as a little christmas surprise!

Interview with Corinne Victoria — Model and Performer

Corinne Victoria is a 21-year old model residing in Denver, Colorado.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

My name is Corinne Victoria and I’m a full time model based out of Denver, Colorado. I was born in Park Ridge, Illinois and lived there as a small child. After which I lived in Arizona for 10 years , both in Phoenix and Surprise. I’ve been located in Colorado now for about 6 years.

My biggest hobby is dancing. I love to dance and perform both on and off the stage. Other interests of mine include anything Alice in Wonderland. Dressing up in elaborate outfits and going to numerous kinds of events. As well as fetishes and the BDSM community.

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

Well fun fact I did modeling when I was a baby. I modeled in diapers and did things like JCPenny ads for example. I however did not do any modeling as a child or young teen. Growing up I didn’t think too much about modeling. Modeling always seemed to me like one of those dream jobs you never actually get to have. When I was a teenager though I thought to myself why not model? What’s really holding me back? In honesty there was only myself holding me back and no reason I should not or could not model. So I did my research on getting involved and had my first shoot I’ll be able to remember at the age of 17!

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

I do hope to continue modeling for as long as I possibly can. Modeling is very important to me and it’s something I rather enjoy doing. My goal is to be able to still be involved in the industry even as I age. Other than that though I look to be a mother in the years to come. I have found a wonderful partner who’s great and there is no doubt of children in our future. I hope to be able to take care of my home and family. Daydreams about being a housewife!

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

I work all the time. I most often do photo shoots but, I have also done video work as well as helping out with various classes. I’ve modeled for art classes and have helped teach modeling classes. I model in a multitude of genres including – glamour, fashion, art, cosplay, editorial, fetish, lifestyle, and others. The summer months are definitely the busiest for me. Can definitely be a bit hectic at times! The winter months are considerably slower, but not completely dead. I am a freelance model which means I work independently rather than through an agency. There are pros and cons to both and I happen to prefer working independently. That being said the workload on myself is much higher. When I’m not out at a photo shoot I’m at home responding to e-mails and messages. Constantly organizing and looking for more work.

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

I’m not sure about the best or worst experience I’ve had but I’m going to talk about my traveling experiences with modeling. Traveling is great! I’ve gotten to travel around to many different places. It’s a great opportunity for any model and I’m privileged to have been able to travel a number of times. I love traveling, you get to see a new place you not have been able to see otherwise. You get to have completely new and different experience from what you see as the norm. At the same time however traveling, especially for work, can be exhausting. Waking up at crazy early hours, staying up particularly late can be taxing on one’s body. A lot of the time you go from spending a fair amount of time in the airport and on the airplane. Then you go directly into working long days.

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

I definitely have an embarrassing story that comes to mind. I was at a photo shoot once and everything was going well. About an hour or so into the shoot the photographer pointed something out to me. He pointed out that well… I had started my period. I hadn’t even noticed myself until he pointed it out. I was completely mortified and embarrassed!

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

I would definitely change the reliability and certainty. The industry can be a little inconsistent at times. Sometimes shoots get moved, sometimes they get canceled. You can’t always count on something to happen when it’s supposed to because things get moved and changed around.

Not just shoots but models. There are a number of ‘models’ out there that bring a bad representation to the industry. There are models that are late, there are models that flake on shoots, models that give a no call no show. These people bring a bad name to those that work hard in what we do and behave in a professional manner when it comes to shoots.

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

Nutrition and exercise play an important role in my life. Being a full time model I have to stay conscious in my eating and exercise habits. Maintaining a healthy figure is important. Personally I eat an all vegetarian diet. I generally eat healthy foods, lots of colors and vegetables but, that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good brownie here and there. As for exercise being a performer I do a lot of exercise. I’ve been a dancer all my life and was a swimmer for most my life. I currently dance as a gogo dancer as well as other performances such as contortion. I have to stretch everyday in order to stay limber and perhaps push my limits. I also dance on the regular to keep up my dance moves, plus there is always room for improvement! Not to mention dancing is a great, enjoyable form of cardio.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

Interesting fact, I have an affinity for the Japanese culture. Both ancient and modern. I love the rich history of Japan. I also love modern fashion and technologies. I could type an entire list of the things I appreciate or love on Japanese culture. I’ll keep this simple though. I plan to make a trip to Japan at least once before I die.

Would you change anything about yourself?

I would change my hair. My whole life I’ve always wanted really long pretty hair. My hair always seems to stop at a certain point though and just not grow any further.

I’ve been working hard to take good care of my hair and keep it healthy. I’m avoiding putting in damaging and costly extensions. Simply promoting hair growth as naturally as possible.

What is the kinkiest thing you’ve ever done?

I’m unsure about the kinkiest thing I’ve done. Being an active member in the BDSM community I’ve partook in a numerous amount of kinky things. I’m in a 24/7 Dominant and submissive relationship. I frequent fetish parties and dungeons. I’ve done things like rope suspension and bondage, wax play, fire play. I’ve been flogged, whipped, caned, you name it!
