Interview with Elizabeth Arey — College student, waitress, model

Elizabeth Arey is a 22-year old model residing in Kennesaw, Georgia.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

I was born in Alabama, to a military family. I grew up in Belgium and traveled a lot while I was a kid, which I really enjoyed. I was a competitive equestrian for 16 years, horse riding is definitely my greatest passion. I love to draw and design, very creative. I am currently a waitress and I go to school full time for Public Relations.

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

I started on Model Mayhem, which I would NOT recommend to any young girl. It worked out for me, but Model Mayhem is not a place for young girls. It can be very sketchy. But then my old agent found me on Facebook!

I want to be successful, in whatever I choose to do and I want to have a family at some point. The ultimate goal is to just have a full and interesting life.

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

I usually try to have a few photoshoots a month, as long as it coincides with my work and school schedule. I typically do photoshoots, but I do runway as well.

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

I have had some wonderful experiences, but some bad ones as well. The bad consisting of photographers trying to inappropriately trying to touch me – which I won’t go into detail about. The best consisting of doing a runway show for Banana Republic, and getting to go to Vegas with the team I worked for with a suit designer.

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

I honestly don’t think so, other than me breaking out into random dance in the model of a photoshoot

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

The way they view women, with the weight issue. We should think all women are beautiful, no matter what. Stick skinny is not what everyone looks like, and while I am tiny, I do not starve myself and I do not try to be something I’m not.

I was a horse rider for a long time, and I still ride every now and then when I have time. I walk about 25000 steps in one evening shift alone as a waitress, and I run and workout as often as I can to stay healthy. Typically I stick to healthy foods, my boyfriend is a personal trainer so he helps me a lot with nutrition.

Please share something people don’t know about you.

That I LOVE cars! Especially old ones, and I drive a 6 speed manual transmission!

Would you change anything about yourself?

No. The way that I look makes me who I am. And anything that I would want to change is easily fixable by running or working out.

Are you currently in a relationship? How would you describe your partner?

I am currently in a relationship, he is a model as well. He is my best friend, the most special person I’ve ever come across in my life and I’ve been privileged enough to meet tons of people. He is smart, hardworking and dedicated to everything he does.

I did have a wardrobe malfunction when I was doing a beach shoot. I almost lost my bottoms.

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

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.

Cia Lee modeling sunglasses in the cityHow 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.

Cia Lee wearing jeans in the countrysideDo 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.

Jennifer Lynn wearing a black lingerieWhat 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.

Jennifer Lynn topless under a violet lightDo 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!!
