Laura Mills Submitted By: Laura Mills Seven years ago, when I was a practicing attorney, I never would have dreamed of being a model even though that was my childhood dream. However, I had always been a bellydancer and this led to a professional career. One thing led to another and before I knew it, I began a modeling career in my 30’s! I finally get to realize my dream and encourage others to reach their dreams. This is because I still teach belly dance to women at a shelter where they face issues such as domestic abuse and substance recovery. I encourage my students to reach for their dreams because it is never too late. Modeling has allowed me to be a guest star on television shows and commercials. I have done many recent projects including a fitness campaign, fashion shoots, and cosplay. I will do anything for the right look including in a cemetery at night or in freezing cold water in the fall. I love to do shoots that are different and unconventional – just like me. I have been told I am one of the few models who can pull off any look. I have a fan page at: www.facebook.com/lauramillsknox.
