Hi Lauren it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
It’s a pleasure to be featured. I’m Lauren, I’m nineteen years old and originally from Devon (the place with all of the farmers.) I’m currently studying History and Human Rights in London or as I like to call it the city of opportunity. Since moving here I’ve been blessed with so many amazing acting and modelling opportunities alike. I love London!
How will you describe your fashion style?
I would say that I follow the latest trends but with a slight twist. I like to keep up to date with the current fashion but I hate high-street shops so I buy from charity shops. It’s cheap, goes towards a good cause and it’s very unlikely that you’ll bump into somebody wearing the same thing as you. I always buy my shoes new however; I have a shoe fetish. It’s not healthy.
What do you find most challenging about being a model?
I find a few things challenging about being a model. One major dislike of mine is the stereotype that often comes with being a model; a lot of people presume that I’m an airhead or a Regina George which isn’t the case. Another challenging aspect is the anxiety that comes with the sheer amount of new people that I have to meet. Most of them turn out to be lovely but it’s always in the back of my mind before a shoot. Of course all of this is far outweighed by my love for modelling. Another problem that I have is prioritizing my studies when I just want to shoot all of them time – there are some downfalls to having a job that you love after all.
Do you have an exercise regime to stay fit?
Haha, well… I’m undoubtedly a curvy model. Nevertheless, I am partial to a spinning class. I’ve also been doing exercise classes on mini trampolines recently which is a lot of fun. I much prefer classes to the gym as I just don’t seem to be able to motivate myself like instructors and being surrounded by determined others can. I have been slacking so much recently due to a heavy work load, many social occasions and the temptation of pizza. I’ve promised myself that I’ll be coming back better than ever soon, watch out.
Have you ever laughed at something you shouldn’t?
Most days. Despite liking to tell myself that I am very mature for my age, every time that a word such as “penetrate” comes up in conversation, I can’t help but let out a little giggle. Very immature, I know.
If you could have any feature from an animal, what would you want?
This is where my devotion to David Attenborough will come in handy. It would be useful to have the ability to alter my appearance like a chameleon, especially in this industry. It’s definitely between that and being able to fly like a bird – who wouldn’t want to be able to skip public transport and fly to work instead?
Which was the last movie you caught and was it any good?
I watched Chalet Girl last night, it’s my favorite winter classic. It’s a great film made up of that blunt British humor that I love; Ed Westwick is another reason that makes it a worthwhile watch. The only downside is that it does make me want to drop out of University and go and do a permanent ski season.
What is the lamest pickup line or attempt a guy has tried to know you?
A man once stopped me to tell me that I look like Cheryl Cole before swiftly asking for my number. I definitely do not look like Cheryl Cole (as lovely as that would be.) I think that he was just trying his luck.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Lauren. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
No problem at all, it’s been very fun. I would personally define sexy as an attitude rather than an appearance as such. I find quiet confidence, intelligence and ambition to be very sexy qualities. Looking like Tom Hardy is just a bonus!
