How did you get started in modeling?
To be honest I wanted to model since I was really young, but I didn’t really know how to get into it. Then one day one of my girlfriends did a photo shoot for a local photographer and he told her to post her pictures on the websites www.modelmayhem.com. To make a long story short I did a test shoot posted my pictures and then ran into my photographer/manager Patrick Adams. From there it’s been nothing but up.
Lets be honest…I can understand the “36” and “27” in your measurements…but where did the “42” come from?
I got it from my momma. (^_^) It’s a blessing
What was your experience like shooting for the cover of the The White Issue for SHOW Magazine?
Shooting for the cover of SHOW was amazing! I was so excited leading up to the shoot and once I got there I was like, “I’m about to be on the cover of SHOW!” That’s when reality really sunk in. I had a chance to look back at how far I have come in such a short amount of time. I’m so thankful for the opportunity that Sean gave me and the beautiful picture that Nick shot.
How was your shoot with Big Boi of Outkast for XXL Magazine?
Shooting for XXL was exciting. We were in GA at Big Boi’s Pit Bull Farm. There were so many dogs it was crazy. We did a lot of takes because it was so hot and they had to make sure the dogs were okay. It was a memorable experience. It’s not everyday that you get to shoot with a major artist. I was honored.
What are the best and worst things about being from Virginia?
The best thing about being in VA is that is where my family is. I am a very family oriented person so that is important. The worst thing about VA would have to be the night life. There really isn’t much to do. But don’t get me wrong I am VA all day baby.
How was it when people started to recognize you in public?
I was first approached by someone at the airport. It was very flattering actually. I get a lot of traffic on myspace so that launched me into the cyber world. Now I can be recognized in the mall or gas station. I think people here in VA show love because I am representing where I am from.
What part of your body are you most complimented on?
Hmmmmm, that’s hard. I get my eyes a lot but I also get compliments on my backside. Some people are a lil more forward than others. I’m flattered by it all.
What part do I need to compliment you on to have a chance?
Your best bet would be my eyes my lips or my cheekbones. As a matter fact anything on my face. Smile. Nawh, but for real it extra special when you get compliments on your features.
Lets say I see you out and I know “this may be my chance”…what can I do not to f’ it all up?
Well when I run into someone that is arrogant or rude I am immediately turned off. Confident but humble is sexy to me. I’m sure I shared that same view with all the ladies.
What are your biggest assets as a model?
I stick out like a sore thumb because of my body type and my exotic features. Because of that I am thankful that I am able to cross over to both markets.
Saaaaaay…. are we ever going to get a website from you?
I’m workin on it… I’m workin on it… (^_^)
What other projects do you have coming up?
God willing I will be shooting for Smooth very soon. It is a magazine that I have been very interested in for a long time and I think the opportunity has finally presented itself. Management is EVERYTHING. Also I will be on the cover of SHOW again early next year so look for me there too.
And most importantly, how long are we going to have to wait to have you shoot for The Dynasty Series?
Hopefully soon. Get with Patrick Adams he’ll set something up.
OK. I see you getting the exclusive interviews.
Yea man! We’re trying to get it together lol
Between this and Cutie Central I really have to step my game up lol. Keep it up though, I like what y’all are doing.
