After Party: Pool Side Barbecue and Healthy Happy Hour 6pm - 9pm

Every new years eve, my family always talks amongst each other about the possibility of watching Pasadena’s Annual Rose Parade.  The problem was that we usually stayed up late, drank, and passed out on the couch.  Wait a second.  That’s actually me and my pals using one of their girlfriend’s father’s luxury condos complete with room service and fluffy towels.  But anyway…yes, at times, it does come into the conversation because it’s like totally freaky how you can make everything out of roses, seeds, and stuff.  However, waking up at 3:00 PM on January 1st doesn’t help the cause.  So, we never go.  We aren’t that big on the football either, so there wasn’t really any excuse to go there.  Then, I found a few photos during my regular event researching and saw notable personalities such as Corissa Furr and Alexia Cortez, who have both been steady staples in the import biz for the past few years, attending something called Bimmerfest.  Discovering its venue to be that elusive Rose Bowl Stadium, I decided to embark on a new journey down that I-210 to the promise land…well, the land I promised myself to visit at least once.  You get the point.

Bimmerfest 2011 was held on May 14th on a grassy events park next to the Rose Bowl Stadium.  The drive was easy enough for me, but once I got off the highway, I found myself in a clog of bimmers.  At the very least, I knew I was in the right place.  I would have actually been taken into the show itself if not for some good Samaritans who gave me the space to bail in the tractor beam procession of BMWs.  Well, it could also be them telling me to get my Lexus out of the way.  I doubt that though.  Everybody at the event was really cool. 

I came in and figured I knew where all the action would be, a three rowed vendor/sponsor village surrounded by a vast sea of BMWs.  But as I approached the village, my sight was stolen by the lovely Layla Lu who was checking out some rides on the outside.  It was the first time I had met Layla Lu at an event, and it was a great experience.  It was hard not to notice her natural comfort and artistry in front of the camera, which was all the more attractive when you witnessed her genuine and amicable personality.  Injecting myself into her little band of merry men with cameras, I was able to snap some interesting shots on the way into the inside.

( Layla Lu)

    After hanging out for about forty-five minutes, which is what being with Layla Lu really forces you to do, I parted ways with a friendly farewell and headed off to the nearby Nitto Tire booth.  There, I was able to get reacquainted with Sabiy Rose.  I first saw Sabiy at Formula Drift:  Streets of Long Beach in April.  I just always get a feeling of immaculateness when I’m around her.  I think it’s the alluring calmness and elegance she brings to the camera in her visual poise.  I have to tell you.  It makes for some gorgeous photographs.  So gorgeous in fact that she had to laughingly inform me of the gathering crowd behind us.  I really didn’t notice a thing.  I mean...would you notice anyone else?



(Sabiy Rose)

    Walking down trying to email my live news feed of this event, I saw a flash of light blue out of the corner of my eye and a face that looked all too familiar face.  Calling out her name, she turned around and was pleased she still remembered me.  I met Joselyn Cano last year in Spocom.  You probably did too if you noticed her and Melissa Riso sporting the most amazing bikinis I’d ever seen to that point.  Then she did it again at RPM in Irvine.  I think I saw Joselyn so much last year that I even got a nickname.  That’s a secret though.  I’m not going to tell.  But here working for Toyo Tires, she was in form for Bruno Mars to start busting out a tune or two.  Joselyn gets you with that “Mona Lisa” smile she has.  She brings a little mystery to a photograph through the dimensions in her expression.  But I have to say that Mona Lisa never looked as good as Joselyn does in a Toyo Tire blue dress.  That’s for sure.


(Joselyn Cano)

    Next stop was the VMR Wheels showcase area.  My eyes met with the charming Amy Fay, who was surprised that I had recognized her.  She was apparently being sneaky at the event having recently cut her hair.  But can you really not recognize the 2011 Miss Importfest Toronto when you see her?  This isn’t a comic book where Clark Kent can wear glasses and not be recognized as Superman.  Come on now…Amy put her leather on, posing for some shots with me in all of her raddness (not sure if that’s a word).  However, it’s hard not to see the elegance and class she exhibits with every shot.


(Amy Fay)

I know…a lot of you guys are thinking about getting “a touch of Amy” in your lives.  What if I said it was possible?  Well, all you have to do is head over to http://www.atouchofamy.com and get in touch with one of the hottest import models out there today.  The site is set to launch very soon. 

Amy’s partner in being criminally cute for this event was the lovely Ning Deng.  Mainly a runway and fashion model, she came to the event to help out her friend from VMR Wheels.  I was looking all over for that friend because I really wanted to shake his or her hand.  Not really…that would be kind of weird.  But if you are reading this, friend, thanks!  If not for you, I wouldn’t have been able to capture such glamorous shots from such an amazing talent.


(Ning Deng)
  
Of course, when you have two beautiful women in one place, you have to ask for a little team spirit.


(Ning Deng and Amy Fay)

    Nearby, cutie Stephany Rose was hanging out at the ModBargains.com booth.  I came over to say hi and my immediate note-to-self was “enthralling smile.”  Remember that movie “Weird Science” with the virtual girl made flesh?  That’s exactly what I’m talking about.  She projects a certain effortless charisma that surprises you.  It’s like you’d snap out of it at some point and find a bottle of that shampoo in your car she was promoting or something.  Hey, Kelly LeBrock did Pantene right?  Hey, I don’t hate you because you’re beautiful…


(Stephany Rose)

    Later, I found myself journeying into the very nucleus of the event where the major sponsor of the event, the HorsepowerFreaks, was stationed.  Giving out souvenirs at the table was beautiful Fallon Hawk.  When the crowd died down, I found my opportunity to ask her for a few photographs.  Graciously, she allowed me to do my thing and found out how well she could drown out event the darkness of her all black outfit with her radiant charm.  She’s a refreshing personality to encounter, though she did say she had just come off from a brief break from modeling (Editor note to writer, that might be a code phrase you must decipher for next engagement).  Hopefully, her appearance at Bimmerfest will be only the first in a string of future event appearances.


(Fallon Hawk Photo, Editors NOTE:  Reminds us of a the Brunette version of Bobbi Billard, former WWE Diva)

    Circling around, I found the Active Autowerk display where I found Nikki Kahea, who has been involved with companies like Tuner Playground in the past, and the beautiful Ranila Miyu Rodil.  They were covering their promotional fronts most effectively, gaining the attention of all those that passed by.  It definitely worked for my camera.


(Nikki Kahea photo)


(Ranila Miyu Rodil photo)

    But then the plot thickened.  I turned around and got caught in Jessica McCoy’s smile.  You know that first time you see that girl at your senior prom and the crowd parts as if on cue by some celestial director?  I wouldn’t.  My date left me for my ex’s, so I had to spend most of the night with an all too familiar naggy voice in my ear.  Okay…that’s a bad tangent.  But that smile…parting crowds…it’s just like that.  I think you could say Jessica has that look that relates with the everyday man, that sweet smile that you trust when you need to make a decision.  Then you find out she becomes a supermodel later on and you totally get it.  I would know since I took a lot of pictures of her, images like this.


(Jessica McCoy photo)

Soon, I suddenly it hit me.  Triangulation…it has to be.  You put three amazingly eye-catching women in a triangular formation on your floor, thus creating a psychic gravitational pull thing toward the center where other Active Autowerk personnel might be able to better inform the crowds about their services and products.  These girls are smart…


I think I bumped into Layla Lu and her buddies like five times during this event.  One of them involved this awesome dark green BMW with an air force insignia on the side.  I called it “the Tank” because the thing looked bullet proof.  With an awesome wardrobe change, Layla was ready to tackle the beast head on.  It’s safe to say Layla got through “the Tanks” defenses and took control.


(Layla Lu – Editors Note, we believe writer wanted this picture.  the "ASS SHOT" inserted, but he was more mild mannered in his description)

    Wikipedia says Avant-garde is a term that “represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as norm or status quo.”  Hey, if you’ve got a name like that for your company and you’re trying to promote your product, you’ve got to get some models that fit that tag right?  That’s exactly what Avant-garde did. 

If there ever was an incarnation for the term “bombshell,” it would be Jessyca Rayanne because she blows you away in every aspect like a W.M.D.  She’s got the showmanship and energy, which compliments the hard work she must put into creating such a magnificent “fitness model” physique.  I have to admit, I was telling my editor Oscar that I just about got a heart attack shooting her.  He suggested I keep a defib handy just in case.  All I have to say to that is the following:  “I’m only twenty-seven, mang.”  Heck, it could be wise advice though.  I mean, look…


(Jessyca Rayanne photo)

    I kind of noticed, but not really…but I think Kimama Bishop was giving me the “I think I know you from somewhere” look.  It was barely obvious but when I asked her if she was at Glamourcon last year, we had that mutual “Oh, yeah…” moment.  Sure, Kimama can give you a certain “no nonsense” edge that in of itself is very visually intriguing, but if you just wait for it, the sweetness comes right out.  Through this entire spectrum of emotions, she is yet able to keep a certain strength in her poise and demeanor which is actually pretty cool to see and shoot.  She kind of takes command.  I like that. 


(Kimama Bishop photo)

Both Jessyca and Kimama with their unique qualities embodied the Avant-garde spirit.


( Kimama Bishop and Jessyca Rayanne)

    Down to the final stretch of the event, I was able to catch a few photos of some of the grouped talent.  Always busy with eager fans begging for signed posters, I had to make it quick and simple.  Hey, Model Vanity takes its event coverage seriously.  You fans want to know how it is at an event?  We give it to you.  So, don’t ever say I never had your back here at Bimmerfest, guys…here they are…

    Who would have known that my Spocom/RPM reunion would continue, but it did.  I was surprised to see Shanna Ferguson again after about a year!  It was cool how she totally lit up when she saw me. (Editors NOTE:  I have been fooled thinking it was me too, but its the camera)  Guys like that sort of thing.  But frankly, I was glad to see her too.  She always keeps it real at every event she attends.  As always, she exudes that California girl spirit, free and unabashed that matches the time of season…well, almost.  The weather wasn’t cooperating, but it’s supposed to be nearing summer.  But Shanna does that for anybody she meets, and she shines on through the photography.

    Then as I approached the final booth, a familiar shout of jovial exclamation erupted before me.  It’s Raichelle Viado!  I always told my friends who were looking for her to just follow the laughter.  That’s most likely where she is.  If you haven’t been at a show where Raichelle Viado has attended, then you have to prepare for some shenanigans.  The girl is a total goofball, and she’s hot!  What’s not to love?  I know all you gamers like that, right?  That’s why you have hot girls hosting the G4 network shows.  Raichelle is so that, totally fun and ever so energetic.  I think she’d hop on a table doing karaoke if she had a chance.  She wouldn’t beat me.  Nothing is at the norm when you’re hanging with her.  Take for example this…


(Raichelle Viado)  Editors Note, We plan to have a video Feature of Raichelle Viado soon, stay tuned

    Now this seems innocent enough as I was shooting her, but something happened to make us all crack up.  I’m not going to describe it.  Really, I think this is for Raichelle to think about and contemplate the deeds of this day.  Oh, how peace can be “corrupted” at times.  That’s all you guys are getting out of me.

    Raichelle apparently didn’t introduce herself to one of her cute Stealth Auto co-workers yet.  So, I figured it would be rude for me not to do the same.  Jessica Chenelle dazzled me with her consistent barrage of sensuality.  She channels something quite seductive with her eye contact and controlled poise that makes you think Maxim all the way.  I’d be looking forward to that issue.  Here’s a reason why…


(Jessica Chenelle)

    It was up to fiery redhead Kayla Herzberg of the Stealth Auto team to show me some flare before leaving the booth.  She succeeded superbly.

    On my way back, I spotted Dee Velasquez shooting with her photographer friend (i.e. 3.1415..).  This would be only her second show on the auto show circuit, so a fitting welcome to the scene is called for.  Welcome to Model Vanity, Dee…


(Dee Velasquez photo)

    Now, just as I was about to leave, I heard from a bud of mine that Christine Zegers was here.  I was like, “No way…where?”  Pointing me toward the Smartwax booth ahead, I couldn’t believe I missed it.  And I haven’t seen Christine in such a long time.  Okay…yeah, it was one week, but time elapses slower when you aren’t around extreme hotness.  That’s in some textbook I read, I think.  Anyway, I hauled my ass over to the booth to find Christine.  During our brief shoot, I was reminded of the persistent cuteness that usually barraged my camera when focused upon her.  It’s like that feeling when you just watched a Disney movie with a really hot chick in it and you just want to go to bed and cuddle up with a pillow…dream.  I don’t do that.  That’s girly.  You guys can see for yourself what I mean…


(Christine Zegers photo)

    Christine later led me to what I was expecting a happy and peppy Michelle Yee.  However, my salutations would not penetrate far through her distraught from a severely crappy day.  After hearing the details, I pretty much ceded the opportunity to shoot her in consideration of her wellbeing.  I don’t know if it was me or Christine that mentioned Model Vanity but she totally remembered the feature article Model Vanity did for her in the past.  She actually called me “Oscar” at first.  After she finished talking, I had to tell her that I wasn’t “Oscar” but worked with him.  I got a playful open hand smack to my shoulder for my honesty.  But she felt better after that.  Go figure…but really, I didn’t want to bother her while she was so distraught, but being the pro that she is, she insisted on doing it.  And you know what?  Every shot was golden like this one.

    I ended the event the same way it started, tagging along with Layla Lu and our mutual friends.  It was a chill event filled with fun and excitement, where people can celebrate life and the beauty that came with it (Editors NOTE:  This is a car show, celebrating BMW past and present remember?).  Faces, new and familiar, made the event fresh yet nostalgic, getting me ever more prepared for the summer season and the upcoming model showcase events.  Yeah, cars are neat, but I think people are a lot more interesting.  That’s what life’s all about, right? (Editors NOTE:  Invites Nate to a overnight Formula 1 Race to watch BMW tackle the heavy weights in motor sports racing.. nothing else matters lol)  I think this picture of Layla can sum up what the 2011 Bimmerfest event was to me and many others here…


(Layla Lu – Editors note:  I choose this one cuz its hotter then the one Nate wanted)

    Repeat after me:  “My life never looked better...”

So MODELS, if you see Model Vanity roaming around your neck of the woods, don’t be shy.  We’re just here to help you build your brand and that brand is you.  Show us what you got.  Because in this industry, it’s really all about the vanity…Model Vanity.

What was life like growing up?
I grew up with 3 older sisters who are all very accomplished.  Beautiful strong mother, grandmother and great grandmother, so the women in my family have been the MOST influential and would never let me be nothing but successful, happy, strong and beautiful.


My father went to jail when I was very young, but I met him again when I was 14 and we are closer than ever!


My step father had the biggest influence on my life.  He is my best friend and idol. Smart, amazing and completely selfless in raise my sisters and I!


I have a beautiful family and have been blessed with a healthy life!    


Where you popular in High School
I was not popular at all in school.  I was a rock and roll kid.  I actually dated the jocks lol, so that made the popular girls hate me, but I was in choir, and played first chair trumpet.  I was captain of the cheer team 3 years in a row, but never had many friends.  My best friends in high school were a group of 6 guys who smoked pot and never went to class. Greatest friends I could ask for!    


whats the first compliement you get?
That I have really nice eyes.  I love that - I have an in shape and healthy tan body lol, but I like that the first attention getter is my face.  Kind of refreshing.     


How did you get into modeling?
My good friend from high school got into doing shoots and brought me along to a few, and it really took off from there.  She doesn't even model anymore.  I actually got into it so much that I produce fashion shows for a living at the biggest clubs in Denver full time!    


What was it like to pose for the first time?
Amazing - I felt like the most beautiful girl in the world, and it felt even better because I knew I was only doing it for ME!    




Do you still get nervous before a shoot?
Not at all.  My creative juices start flowing and if anything I am very energetic and focused.  I really try to play into the roles and themes and visions per shoot.     


Favorite type of pose?
A fashion pose with a strong physical pose, but still have a sexy glamour look and softness    


What makes a great photographer?
Someone who can communicate their vision and fuse it to you, and on the set actually letting you help him work to create the final product.  Of course on top of that just a photographer with strong basic knowledge of lighting, conceptual vision and photography.    


Favorite Female Model?
I absolutely LOVE Brooke Burke.  Just a classy beautiful natural woman with a bangin' body and great personality.    


Greatest Modeling / Fitness accomplishment so far?
I have been asked to be the cover model for Beckwith Motorsports which is a national Motorcycle drag racing company.  I love doing xtreme modeling gigs!    


Tell us your most memorable shoot?
I did an awesome shoot with Chris the birdman andersen from the Denver Nuggets with His Giant black Trucks and Ferraris and Lamborghinis.  Amazing photographers and a beautiful set.  Probably my favorite shoot!    


Any current exciting projects your working on?
Yes I am getting ready to do a huge shoot for Ruckus Apparel which is a huge up and coming clothing company.  I am also the production manager for their runway shows.  I am doing a runway show for kandyrockswimwear.com and will be a part of a 15 designer Fashion Show in Denver this summer.  I am also getting ready to sing the national anthem at one of the Colorado Rockies Games - which I have actually done many times before!    


Ever thought about acting
I have definitely thought about acting, and for a short while, trained doing a little bit of acting with a modeling agency/school called John Casablancas in Denver.  I did very well with it in fact that they were making me take classes in it to be used for commercials.  I loved it and would love to progress in that area.    


What are your dreams or goals in life?
I want to just do what I love and I am kind of following the wind.


I want to own my own clothing line company and have it be selling.  I already have it started.  It is called Shredded Threads! So I want that to be off the ground and making money.  


I want to be traveling all over and doing all kinds of shoots and spokesmodeling.  I love representing companies.  


It is only a matter of months until my line takes off, and as far as my career with me producing huge fashion shows in Denver, I'd like to take that to LA and grow within that as well!    


Like to travel?  Where..
Oh I love to travel.  Unfortunately, I have not had means to do so, but I have been to the bigger cities in the US and the number one place I want to go and see in the world I think is Ireland.  Just looks so beautiful!      


What makes you feel sexy?
Music - Dancing and feeling the beat and just being comfortable in my skin.  It gives me a boost of confidence and it makes me feel like I control the way I feel about myself.     


Anyone ever try to hold you back in life?
Believe in you!  They have to love your work enough to want to get to know more about you, and then understand why I am out doing what I am doing, then they will have a reason to believe that my love for what I do will keep giving them things to love as an outcome.     


Who has been the most inspirational person in your life?
My mother by far.  She has done everything from dirt biking to figure skating to modeling and even singing in rock bands.  Shes beautiful inside and out and always has positive and constructive things to say to me.  I only want to make her proud to have used some of the tools she has been gracious enough to share with me!    


What can fans do to support your career
Believe in you!  They have to love your work enough to want to get to know more about you, and then understand why I am out doing what I am doing, then they will have a reason to believe that my love for what I do will keep giving them things to love as an outcome.     


Final farewell message to fans?
Never too tired to fans :) I love what I am doing and I can't wait to share it more and more with my creativity and ability to live my dreams.  Hopefully my ideas can inspire and motivate anyone and everyone to do what they want and make their dreams come true too!

What was life like growing up?
Her parents were never impressed by the modeling industry and have always urged her to go for a more professional career, such as a lawyer, doctor, diplomat, etc. But they never stopped her from modeling just as long as she continued her focus on education.     


Where you popular in High School
No, not at all. I was short over-weighted gal in high school, like little round ball. never in the popular group :(*****    


How did you get into modeling?
Born and raised in China, Lisa was scouted by a local agent in Tokyo, Japan when she was exchange student for the summer school. At the age of seventeen, she was once again discovered, this time in her own city with a promotion agency, which was also representing Playboy Promotion Club Asia Division as well. Soon, she moved to Los Angles after she was chosen to be the face of next playmates. However, as the product of a traditional good Asia girl and a sexy westernized playmate, Lisa spent many years discovering who she was. Traveling between two countries, between two cultures, and split between two worlds (in every fact of the phrase) she needed to make sense of it all in order to find herself and her home.








What was it like to pose for the first time?
very nervous and shy, had to be told on how to pose. But you learnt from your mistakes, and practices makes perfect.     


Do you still get nervous before a shoot?
a little bit, but that's what makes shoot exciting...you can't wait to see the final images

fashion & beauty    




What makes a great photographer?

What makes you feel sexy?
I love glitter, glamor, diamonds, dresses, makeup, hair and killer heels.

5'3

106lbs  

Body Measurements?
31-23-31  

Hottest Physical Feature?
I'd like to say my eyes, but I've never asked. I think most people just notice my unique look. There aren't a lot of girls with my feature set where I come from.  

Occupation
Model  

Languages Spoken?
English and bad english!  

Special Skills
I'm an artist and a bit of a techno whiz. I set up the stero system in my house. I love technology.  

Any tattoos?  How Many?  Plan on getting more?
I have three tattoos, a rose on my hip, pentagram from my goth days (funny, right?!) on the back of my neck, and a set of wings with some scripting on my lower back, but no plans on getting any more at the moment!  

Will you participate in Bikini / Gogo Competitions?
YES I love stages  

How Long have you been modeling?
Just on a year now. I love it.  

Your favorite designer(s)?
I'm not a very 'designer' girl! I'm constantly in jeans and a tank top - but like any other girl, I do love a nice pair of shoes, and I live in my heels.  

Favorite Supplement or Energy Drink
Sugar free Red Bull.  

Sexiest Man
Hahaha! I'd have to say my boyfriend Rob. He's ridiculously good-looking, intelligent and hilarious. I'm a very lucky woman!    

Sexiest woman?
I love Beyonce and Mila Kunis. They're not just downright beautiful, but they seem to have these cute personalities too. I love that about them.  

Favorite Digital Gadget?
I am addicted to my iPhone. I think my world would crash without it.  

Favorite Magazines besides ModelVanity?
I actually love trash/tabloid mags. I have a highly overactive brain, and I love turning it off and reading all the crazy, overblown articles. They're definitely entertaining when you have nothing else to do.  

Favorite Posession(s)?
There's nothing I'm really deathly attached to... If my house was on fire, all I would run out with was my makeup bag and my phone, hahaha.  


Tropical or Cold climate?
Tropical for sure. I've spent equal time growing up in both. I love being surrounded by palm trees and beaches. The smell of the tropical climate is so refreshing!  

Hyper or Chill
I can be a bit of both! I'm generally a very laid back personality, but I love to let loose and be a little bit of a retard when I'm a bit overexcited about life.  

Favorite Car?
I will save up for a Lexus.  

Favorite Music?
I'm actually a metal head, but that doesn't mean I don't love dancing to a bit of rnb or hip hop. I'm also a massive trance and drum and bass fan. I think the only genre of music I can't stand is country...oh...and pop-rock.  

Favorite Artist(s)?
My favourite bands are Tool, Muse, Deftones and Pendulum. That said, I've recently downloaded the new Britney Spears and Rhianna albums.  

Your Favorite Party town?
I want to visit the world party places!!!  

What was life like growing up?
When I was younger I moved around a lot, I've been to 7 different schools and lived in 3 cities so far. I had a great childhood and grew up with 3 younger rockstar brothers that I love to death. I think I'm a bit of a hybrid girl. Growing up with a family of boys made me turn out a little differently to most. I was a massive tomboy! These days I'll wear a dress and I love to get all pretty, but I'd be much happier playing videogames than I would be stuck in a room full of other chattering girly-girls!
After I finished high school at 17 I moved out of home and headed interstate. It sure was an experience and was a pretty rocky road. I've done a lot of growing up and self-discovery since then. Just over a year ago I switched cities (yet again), started the new life you're seeing now, and am feeling much more independent and self-assured about life.  

Where you popular in High School
Hahaha! No I don't think I was very popular at all! I had a group of amazing friends that I was pretty open and loved to be with, but I think to others that didn't know me well I was a bit of a recluse and very shy. I can't wait for my 10 year reunion. I'm going to spend all my time talking and getting to know everybody.  


whats the first compliement you get?
When I'm on set, people seem to mention that they like my laid back attitude and that I'm a friendly kind of girl...which leads me to believe that there must be a fair few snobby girls out there, but I haven't come across any yet, thank goodness!

How did you get into modeling?
I started with a modeling competition last year. There was a photographer there that I met. We took a few snapshots, and everything lead on from there.  

What was it like to pose for the first time?
I may have been the most awkward person on the planet! Because I was such a shy girl, it wasn't very natural to me. All fixed now, hahaha.  

Do you still get nervous before a shoot?
Not nervous, excited! I love shooting, it's a ball of fun. Seeing those results at the end of it all is always so rewarding.
  
What makes a great photographer?
My favourite photographers are the ones that I get along with and share an understanding of what kind of work we want to create. My favourite photographers I've worked with so far are Nick Peall (word up dude!) and Estevan Oriol. I was a initially a little star stuck with Estevan - I'd seen his photos of Justin Timberlake, Kim Kardashian and Snoop Dogg and had no idea how I would match up to the stars - but he ended up being a really down to earth guy and we got along really well.  


Favorite Female Model?
I don't really have one! There are so many models that I admire, (especially the amazing friends I've made!) always for different reasons.  

Greatest Modeling / Fitness accomplishment so far?
Well, as I'm writing this it's still on it's way to being released, but I landed a feature with Freestyle Rides magazine. I was really excited when they approached me. Their magazine is crafted with so much love in every issue. As a newer model, I'm feel really blessed that I'm get to be a part of it.  

Tell us your most memorable shoot?
My trip down to Sydney shooting for Freestyle and Ones Clothing. Extremely hectic, extremely unpredictable (I missed my flight home!), but so much fun!  

Any current exciting projects your working on?
At the moment I'm lining up some more magazines and features. I'm an Australian model, but I'm wanting to break into the international market. So keep an eye out for me!  

Ever thought about acting
I can't say that the thought didn't cross my mind at some point, but at the moment I'm focusing on modeling. Later on, who knows? I just take life as it comes.  

What are your dreams or goals in life?
At the moment I'm secretly working on beginning my own swimwear label. I'm obsessed with biknis and have a massive drawer full of them! It'd be a dream to launch my own line.  

Like to travel?  Where..
I definitely have a travel but - unfortunately it's yet to be satisfied! I'm too busy at home at the moment, but I'm hoping that in the next year or so I'll be making a trip to the USA. I would also love to visit Spain and Japan.  

What makes you feel sexy?
The perfect tan can change my entire outlook on a day, haha.  

Who has been the most inspirational person in your life?
My boyfriend Rob. For the first few months of modeling I was very unsure about whether I was really cut out for the job. He's always been there encouraging and supporting me. He's had to deal with a few tears of frustration along the way. He's a very patient boy! I'll also have to say my family. They've always had my back and I love them to death for it.  

What can fans do to support your career
I would love if all of you guys could encourage all of your magazines, events and everyone you know to work with me! Spread the word!  

Final farewell message to fans?
I just want to say thanks so much to everyone who's been supporting my career so far, I appreciate it so much!
