Meet Phoenix Skye, an Ethiopian and German model,
actress, and social media star with striking looks. It may
come as a surprise that this exotic beauty is also a huge fan
of video games. She has recently started her new YouTube
channel youtube.com/c/SkyeGamerGirl. When asked about
her new venture this is what she had to say. “Well, I’ve been
playing games as far back as I can remember. Every day
after homework and chores I would get to play for hours!
At least up until my bedtime anyway. And always on the
Playstation so that’s definitely my favorite system. A few
months ago I decided to try and make my love for playing
games into more of an actual job. Every week I try to upload
a new fun game I’ve been playing, I talk about it a bit and
it’s just such a blast. Ideally, I’d like to have this become a
real show, maybe on G4.”

eginning her modeling career as a child, balance was always important.
She took a break because she wanted to enjoy being a kid, and got back
into it a few years ago. While managing a career, social life, fun, and her
health, Phoenix Skye seems to have it all figured out. On a typical day
she wakes early for breakfast, and answers emails with a movie on in the
background. She works out regularly with her trainer to stay fit. For fun
she likes to go to the movies or out to lunch or dinner with friends, but most of her
time is spent alone watching movies and playing video games of course. You can catch
up with her daily on her Snapchat and Instagram.
The life of a model can be very interesting and fun. When Phoenix is on set for a shoot
she says, “Honestly, most of the time my shoots are pretty tame, fun! But tame, just
easy going with kind people. Only occasionally I'll have the hilarious moment when
I laugh at myself and the career I've chosen. I remember I had one casting where they
wanted a Hot Girl to make out with a Nerdy Guy. They didn't specify this to us before
getting to the casting mind you. I was paired with this skinny little guy, he was so
sweet but was the epitome of what a nerd looks like. Pale with glasses and looked
the part perfectly.
