What are your thoughts on the
modeling industry? Is it a
difficult industry to be in?
“It’s really hard because you have to
stay faithful to yourself but also give
people what they want to look at.
It’s hard because there is a lot of
competition. A lot of bitches trying
to take your place and doing nasty
things to get through. Sometimes
people put you in the dark because
you don’t or won’t accept to do
certain things. That’s hard because
my parents raised me well. I’ve
missed a lot of big contracts because
they couldn’t handle my values or
wanted me to change. You have
people constantly hating or judging
you. It’s real hard. You have to work
hard to keep your spot and stay true
to who you are. It’s a job where
everybody tries to change you.
People think you just have to look
pretty and that’s it. Well it’s not. If
your body changes shape they fire
you. If your face changes shape,
they fire you. If you don’t talk or
walk the right way they put you
aside. So stressful. I’m used to it

now. I love what I do so it doesn’t
bother me that much. I do what I
have to do.”
When did you first become
interested in modeling?
“Since I was little, I think I was born
with the camera beside me in my
mother’s tummy. I just fell in love
with it. I loved the way the camera
would capture me and give me the
feeling that I could live forever.”
How would you describe your
style of modeling?
“My style is the Glamour type of
modeling. I love my body and the
way I portray it on my pictures.
The ones you could spend days
looking at it because It’s classy and
dreamy.” The type of picture where
you could express yourself through
simple posture. No need to talk. Just
strike a pose and you understand
everything. I love being
inaccessible. You could look at me
but you definitely cannot touch
me!”

Is there a part of the world you
would like to do a shoot?
“I don’t know, maybe in the middle
of New York. That would be cool.”
Are there any current or future
projects you would like to share?
“Well, I’m actually founding a
luxurious event planning company
with my makeup artist, Sam
Makeup. We’re planning on
conquering Europe. I’m also
working on a publicity to prevent
suicide. That should be out soon.”
Give me 5 facts that people may
not know about you.
“When I was small, I used to cut
myself. I love everything that scary
and mysterious like myths,
superstitions and magic. I have a
half-sister from my father’s side. I’ve
had only one boyfriend. I’ve nearly
been to jail. I was on a 3 years term
probation after burning down my
hotel room and been on
antidepressants over since.”
