I truly believe that life is something to be enjoyed, not endured, and through my passions in modeling, singing, music, writing, and just the simple act of reaching out to others…I try to do that every day I’m alive. I live for the experience and love to learn about so many different things. I hope to always be inspired and inspire.
What does fashion actually mean to you? What inspires your passion and what excites & motivates you about modeling? Fashion is something that lets a person express themselves, and it’s a means for putting your best foot forward. The right outfit can change your entire day, put a little bounce in your step, and make you feel good! I would say that fashion is a big thing that inspires my passion. When people give me positive feedback on my work, it excites me! When people have doubted me, or not wanted me to pursue modeling, it motivated me that much more! That’s like my motto, always use the negative people as a positive influence in your life!
How you communicate with other netizens, especially your subscribers? Are you patient? polite? friendly? How often you reply to them? I’m always friendly, and always patient with them. I reply to them as often as my schedule allows!
Has modeling changed other aspects of your life? What does your career do for you? Modeling has made me more confident in my own skin, so I would say that is a big way it made a positive change in all areas of my life! It’s also helped me network and meet some wonderful people. I’d say modeling is more like a hobby for me that I treat like a second job rather than my career, and it helps me to stimulate my brain in a creative way and challenges my mind, body, and imagination. Those are very important things for me, which is why I’m an artsy person in many other areas of my life including my cake decorating job, singing, and writing. I need to be able to imagine and create or I’m unhappy!
Is there anything you dislike about modeling? Not particularly! Sometimes holding the poses make me sore, haha
How do you prepare yourself for a modeling shoot? I prepare myself weeks and weeks before a shoot, not just the day of! I practice different make-up techniques, different hairstyles, and try on lots of different outfits until I get it just right. I work out like crazy. I also keep my photographer in the loop about what I plan on wearing for the shoot, different poses I’d like to try, and I always ask them lots of questions about what their goal for this shoot will be and what type of editing on the photos they will do. I like to be fully prepared, and every photographer I’ve worked with has appreciated how involved I am with the process.
Any ultimate goal to fulfill as a model? My ultimate goal is to push my own personal boundaries and challenge myself to think outside of the box.
What do you like to do for fun & entertainment? I love to go out to eat with a big group of my closest friends, it’s always a fun time. I actually really enjoy my job, I live in a close-knit community and work as a cake decorator. I sort of fell into it but genuinely love doing it. I LOVE music and singing! Writing is also something I am passionate about and something I want to pursue in my future.
Excluding all complicated beauty & fitness mantra, what do you think to be the easiest way to look pretty and glamorous? A beautiful soul makes a beautiful person.
Do you own a domain? Do you have your own fashion blog? I don’t own a domain, but I did just create a blog that will be modeling/beauty/inspiration centered. You can read it at www.alliefreelancemodel.blogspot.com
What is your ultimate message for netizens? Be yourself. Pursue what you want. Don’t let others hold you back, and don’t hold others down. Be a kind person because you like to be nice, not so you look good. Be kind even when no one is looking and you won’t get feedback for it. Don’t be artificial, and do what makes YOU happy.
