Interview with Meg Vega — The California Girl

Meg Vega is a 20-year old model residing in Santa Rosa, California.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

My name is Meg Vega. I am a 20 year old model in Santa Rosa, CA. I was born in Pleasanton, CA. I have always been a Cali girl and always will. I am the eldest of two. I have a younger brother, Mike. I was raised in a loving family with a firm grip. My dad was born in Japan, my mom in Germany, both on United States Airforce bases. So they came from a very militant background. My dad definitely wanted a boy so I did every sport known to man. I thrived in Field Hockey and Pole Vaulting in High School. Since then I have just been keeping up workouts at the gym. My family is very close knit. When you come from a German background on one side and a Russian side on the other you definitely stick with each other like glue. As my grandpa used to say, “We stick to each other like glue, we are gonna be ok.” In a Russian and Bronx accent of course. Now I work as an Assistant in an office here in Santa Rosa, however I hope to fulfill my dream one day of becoming a famous model.

When I was 16 I lived with my mom, and we were struggling with money. My brother just moved in with us from our dad’s in Oregon and I needed to make sure he was eating decent whole meals. My whole life people would comment on how pretty I am. I thought if I could make money off of that, I could help my family! No one in a college town would hire a 16 year old with our labor laws so I looked at agencies.

I found an agency in San Jose called John Casablanca’s Model, Talent Management. For a little background John Casablanca’s is the creator of Ford models. One of the most prestigious Model Agencies in the world. This division was more for everyday people. I was accepted that day but I had to pay 3,000 dollars for training. I did, sadly, and my first job was a Hair Show for Aquage a year after I signed. They dyed my hair, for the first time ever, and cut it in three shows on stage. I didn’t know that this was the best thing that could have happened to my career. It was going nowhere. When my hair changed I became different, more fashionable. People started to see me. I joined MM and One Model Place to get noticed when I went free-lance. Over the last year I have done close to 40 photo shoots. Developing relationships with photographers and other models in the greater Bay area, I hope to sign to a bigger agency and take some time to actually pursue modeling.

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

I want to be the first successful petite model. The industry has been changing a lot over the last few years. If I work hard enough and get the right opportunities then I can be the first successful petite model. For now I am working on the back side. Working the fashion angle. Styling myself to get noticed and get out there. Look like a model and soon you will become a model. Know the designers, know the trends and who is up and coming. Though, thanks to my height I will never walk a runway, I photograph tall.

Hopefully in a couple years I will be signed and five to ten be behind the scenes but still involved in the fashion world.

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

I model at least twice a month right now. Thanks to my two jobs it is hard to actually get out there and go to the agencies I need to and get my face out there.

The modeling I do ranges from Glamour to Boudoir to editorial. I have done quite a few styles. The one thing I do is I like to leave my viewers curious. I don’t show everything, I show just enough to keep them coming back. It is no surprise that I am a voluptuous model. I am not plus sized but I have some curves. So photographers tend to put me in lingerie or swim wear.

Meg Vega wearing a bikini at the beachPlease tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.

My best experience was with a photographer named Paul Mango Chon of Bittersweet mango productions. He was a class act. His photos were spot on and he was an all over good guy. He was so creative and stylized. He really launched my career. I got the most feedback from his images. Sadly he moved down to LA to actually work in the industry. But we still keep in touch. He is onto bigger and better things.

My worst experience was with a photographer that will remain unnamed. We had met and talked about shoot ideas. We wanted it to be a Grunge fashion shoot. When I got to the shoot, he wanted more and more articles of clothing off. It was leaning more towards porn than fashion so I had to walk off set and go home. That was the only shoot I have done that on.

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

Haha, yes, a few things but this is the funniest. I was doing a Swim wear shoot with Jim Parks, who is another amazing photographer. This was in San Francisco, CA and it was super overcast, which is not abnormal for SF but still, it was cold. Anyways I was taking pictures in some Beautiful Disaster stuff and he wanted some water shots, so I of course said why not! So I went to lay on the beach and a couple people were gathering around, watching us shoot and a giant freezing cold wave crashes down right on top of me. I started laughing and rolling up the beach, Jim collapsed in laughter and the people that were watching started laughing too. It was definitely embarrassing but I didn’t really care; it was fun and I was in a swimsuit which is supposed to get wet. haha.

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

I do have something I would change. The modeling industry makes every flaw a huge deal. “You’re too short. You’re not a 10 % BMI. You’re not a size 7 shoe. I feel like they would sell so much more if they gave people a more realistic hope that they can be fashionable. Let the woman with a C cup and a bodacious bum wear Louis Vuitton more people will want to wear Louis. If you let a 5’3” woman on the cover of Vogue I guarantee you people will have healthier goals. This prestige in the fashion industry is becoming a bit of an unattainable goal. Why would anyone want to strive for something they can never get to?

Meg Vega between two polesDo 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 so I have to exercise a lot. I eat three meals a day and snacks in between. I eat a lot of chicken and my favorite thing in the world is Zucchini sauteed in olive oil with Garlic salt. Taste just like french fries. I work out about five days a week. I start with running for about a mile before my workout. Then I do lots of squats and leg workouts, move onto abs, then last some arms. I have to be careful because my arms get very bulky if I work them out too much. Then I drink tons and tons of water. It’s my magic potion to a great body and great skin.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I am a car fanatic. I am currently tricking out my 1997 Mazda Miata. I am a muscle car kinda girl but I will die of excitement if I see anyone or any car from any of the fast and furious movies. I learned how to drift from my ex and I love racing on the back roads of Napa valley. Back roads = Less Cops = More speed.

Would you change anything about yourself?

Only one thing and that’s my height. If you could tell by my article already, height is a huge thing in this industry and that is the one thing I want. Maybe one day the industry will change and the time of short beautiful woman will rise.

What is your guilty pleasure?

Taco Bell. Crunch Wrap Supreme’s. I know not a model food…but it is so good!

Interview with Jamie Lavender — “Just For Fun” Model

Jamie Lavender is a 21-year old model residing in Los Angeles, California.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Hey y’all I’m Jamie Lavender! I currently reside in Los Angeles, California, but I grew up in Austin Texas. I work in real estate and modeling is something I’ve been doing as a hobby here and there for about 5 years.

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

Growing up, I didn’t have much interest in the modeling industry. I was more geared towards the fashion design; I’ve always been very creative. When I was 16, however, I walked into a well known, high end hair salon and the manager dropped her jaw at my leggy, thin, 5’10” tall figure and begged me to be in a runway show. It was unexpected, but I accepted and had a blast! Plus, I got a free makeover! From then on, I sought out more modeling opportunities.

Jamie Lavender face closeupWhat are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

Professionally, I’m really enjoying what I do right now, managing luxury properties for event and vacation rentals. I guess in the next 5 years, I hope my company will be much more well known and successful.

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

I only model as a hobby and only half of the shoots I do are paid, so I don’t model very much. I do a photo shoot once a month or every other month. I do mostly lingerie and pinup, fine art and tasteful nude, swimwear, and casual fashion. I don’t do XXX or erotic shoots.

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

The best experience I’ve had modeling was an all expense paid 3 day trip to Miami for a lovely beach shoot. It was tons of fun and who doesn’t love a paid vacation!? I also got to keep both of the bikinis I wore for the shoot which were $300 each. Too cool!

The worst experience I’ve had…hmmm well I’ve had many, so I’ll sum it up with two words: unprofessional and scam! There’s a big difference between a photographer and a guy with a camera. Also, paid or non-paid, I really hate when I waste my time just to be used in some type of scheme. It’s hurtful and degrading.

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

I auditioned for America’s Next Top Model one year and was rejected because I’m “too big to be a regular model and too small to be a plus size model” … I was shocked. Oh well!

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

I think photographers should have to have licenses. I think it would cut out the unprofessionalism and scams.

Jamie Lavender showing her bellyDo you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.

I love hot yoga and pilates! I work out 3 to 5 times a week. I try to watch what I eat, but I’m definitely not one of those calorie counting models. I definitely indulge. Life is short!

Please share something people don’t know about you.

In 2011, I dropped everything back home in Austin Texas and moved to LA by myself on a one-way ticket with $500 and no plan at all! It was the most difficult, yet best decision I’ve ever made!

Would you change anything about yourself?

I wish I could have a flat stomach and not gain weight so easily, but I do love my curves. I get so many compliments on my round booty! And now that I’ve had a boob job, I feel extra confident and sexy!

What superpower do you wish you had? Why?

Definitely the ability to fly! I’d never have to worry about LA traffic or expensive plane tickets again!

Interview with Kensi Chez — Collegiate Pole Vaulter Turned Model

Kensi Chez is a 21-year old model residing in San Diego, California.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

My name is Kensi Chez, I was born and raised in California. I have two brothers one older and one younger, I am stuck in the middle. They are very important to me, because of them I am motivated to accomplish all of my goals. My older brother is the reason why I found my main passion in life, pole vaulting. I pole vaulted all throughout high school and two years in college. Now I am a coach at a high school and I love my job.

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

I started modeling when I was eighteen years old. I went with my best friend to one of her shoots and thought it was the coolest thing. The next thing I know I began modeling too.

Kensi Chez wearing a flowered dressWhat are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

In ten years I will have my masters in Finance and hopefully be coaching pole vaulting at a collegiate level.

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

I do a photo shoot about once every week. The types of shoots I do depend on who the photographer is. If it is the first time I am shooting someone I usually stick to casual, fashion, or swimsuit shoots. If I am shooting with a photographer I have shot with before I am a lot more opened to lingerie or implied work. I also recently started doing fashion shows, those are a blast.

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

My best experience modeling was when I did a partner shoot with my best girlfriend who is also a model. We both brought out the best in each other and we never stopped laughing. It is always so fun working with her.

My worst experience was one of my very first shoots, I usually like to bring an escort when I meet new photographers, and this photographer was so offended by me asking if it was ok if I do that. I ended up not shooting with him because of it.

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

One time I was at a beach photo shoot, and I was in my bikini and the photographer wanted me to lie on the sand by the water. I lied there, we got a few shots, then out of nowhere a giant wave came and drenched me. My makeup and hair was ruined and the photographer got pictures of the whole thing happening, it was hilarious.

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

I would stop editing pictures in magazines. Women are beautiful the way they are and their imperfectionsKensi Chez wearing a red dress are what make them unique.

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

When I am not pole vaulting, I am a huge crossfit and olympic weight lifting enthusiast. Most women think lifting weights will make them buff and manly looking but it doesn’t, it is one of the greatest things a woman can do, after those workouts you feel like you can conquer anything that is put in your way.

My diet is different than most models, I am a human garbage disposal. I generally eat healthy, but I have those days when all I do is binge on junk food. I think nutrition is an extremely important factor in my life, I grew up with a very health conscious family and they taught me one of the best things to do for yourself is to eat healthy.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

When I was fifteen I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. For the longest time I was really embarrassed of it because, well, if you have ever had a panic attack in front of somebody that isn’t your family it’s very embarrassing. It also made me feel like there was something wrong with me. While I was in high school I learned techniques to help with preventing panic attacks. When I graduated high school I decided to work really hard and learn to maintain my depression. It was a lot of hard work but I conquered both anxiety and depression, and I have never felt better.

Would you change anything about yourself?

I wouldn’t change a thing, every part of me is unique.

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

I would find Micheal Fassbender -the guy who plays Magneto in the new X Men movies- and ask him to marry me. Hey, it won’t hurt to try.

Interview with Daisy — Dental Assistant turned model

Daisy is a 22-year old model residing in Los Angeles, California.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah August 21st 1991. I started out doing dance and gymnastics at a young age. I was one of those kids that would want to start something, stick to it for a year then moved on to something else. My grandma and dad raised me, my dad worked nights and my mom lived in Vegas. My parents divorced when I was three. I moved to Arizona with my mom when I was 13. I really don’t have many hobbies; modeling and photography are pretty much it. I started modeling when I as 15 for my friend in High School, that is also when I started photographing. I became a Dental Assistant when I was 19, I loved it. When I stop modeling I will go back to Dentistry.

Daisy wearing white jean shortsWhen, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?

When I was in High School my friend was in a photography class. Being her best friend naturally I was her first pick. It was fun so I fell in love with it. During High school it was hard for me to model on my free time, my parents wanted me to have a job. I started doing freelance modeling after I graduated. I started to rebuild my portfolio in Arizona for 2 more years. I moved to California in 2013 and started working with photographers out here. I do all types of modeling except porn, I personally don’t know why anyone would put that in the same category as modeling.

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

It’s hard for me to set goals. I feel like it’s almost a jinx. I work hard and try to be at the right place at the right time, I know I am good at what I do otherwise I wouldn’t be doing it full time. I will eventually get somewhere.

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

I model 4 to 6 times a week, sometimes more. I do couture clothing, swim ware, e-commerce, lingerie, nude, and recently filming. I have quite a bit of filming coming up. I recently played snow white for a fashion film.

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

Best has definitely been recently working with my friend Jen Awad. She has opened a lot of doors for me. She designs high fashion couture clothes; I am the face of her new fall and winter line. The worst is definitely the pervs. I have had two photographers ask me if I would photograph them naked, very weird.

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

Nothing I have done yet I try to stay pretty quiet and go with the flow. It’s mostly the weird photographers. All shoots are fun and a new learning experience.

Daisy next to a balcony in black and whiteIs there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?

Now? The fact some people won’t work with you because you don’t have a certain amount of followers. I thought modeling was based on talent not followers.

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 lots of yoga and squats. I typically eat soups, salads, sandwiches. I am very sensitive so what I eat has to be fresh and light. Being healthy and following my diet is very important or I get sick. I want to look young forever so I do my best. I am in love with tamales and candy so that’s my cheat.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

My friends and family know my biz. I don’t have anything to hide. I’ts always been hard for me to keep secrets and what not.

Would you change anything about yourself?

My ears they stick out too much. Otherwise I like how I look and am. I think if I could go back in time and tell my younger self what life is like now, I would be proud.

Do you have any fears or phobias?

I have entomophobia, which is the fear of one or more types of insects, and arachnophobia; so bad it’s unreal, it’s hard for me to do outdoor shoots because of it. I always power through but am screaming on the inside! Just thinking about it gives me the chills!

Interview with Xtine

Xtine is a 23-year old model residing in San Diego, California.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

I have been a professional model since 2011. I take the professionalism of my day job as a TV producer and I blend it with each modeling gig. I have a special respect for timeliness and hard work. Born in Phoenix, AZ, currently I am a freelance model in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties, as well as Dallas, Texas. I have been known to successfully fill the part of any needed character role, from hair shows to any and every kind of fashion or editorial-style shoot. Though I shoot several times a week, I also work full time as a producer at One America News Network. I hate sleep and I love politics and fashion!

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

I began attending random TF shoots in 2009. I did not morph the modeling into a job until I was serious about doing it. Now, it’s an actual career. What so many new folks don’t understand is that true modeling is a form of acting. You can’t just stand there and look pretty for the camera… You’ve got to work, bitch!

Xtine wearing a black dressWhat are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

I structure my life around my passions. As long as you follow what you love doing — and you work hard enough — you can almost dance through the world of goals with a blindfold. This method has taken me to great places in life.

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

I model 3 to 5 times a week. Because of my diversity, I can fulfill most, if not all, roles needed. I am 6′. I’m very leggy, and I love to bend and pose. I do art, bodypaint, fashion, glamour, hair and makeup, lingerie and runway modeling.

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

Because I’m cautious, all of my modeling experiences have been positive. This career has also had an unintended effect: I’m now the most confident girl you will ever meet. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting and networking with some real, genuine artists. I’ve enjoyed mingling with so many great minds.

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

My first career is in the media; my second is, obviously, modeling. I have met many photographers who are also in the same field as I. During my time modeling, I’ve come to realize how important reputations are in any career; the world is so small, you can’t afford to be a jerk!

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

There should be more redheads in this industry.

Xtine naked with a blanketDo you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.

I was blessed with an obnoxiously fast metabolism. Though I eat relatively healthy, I have two rules: 1) Don’t diet. 2) Experience, have fun with food. That said, I appreciate my craft beer. Each day I average 1 to 3 beers a day, typically over dinner. I love Thai, Japanese, and Filipino cuisine. I always vie for spicy, seafood, curry, pork… preferably all of the above in one dish! My day of running around begins at 3:30am each day, so, although I do not work out traditionally, I get plenty of activity through being always on the go.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

Before becoming a TV producer, I worked as a producer in conservative talk radio at a couple major stations in Southern California.

Would you change anything about yourself (physical or otherwise) if you could?

I wouldn’t like to change anything about myself, I would only like to become an improved, nicer version of what I am already.

What is the one talent you wish you possessed?

I wish I were musically inclined or talented. If you are, you are greatly blessed.
