  • Photographer, Self-Portraitist & Model, Miss Britney Rae

    Photographer, Self-Portraitist & Model, Miss Britney Rae

    The pleasure is all mine! I am a self-portraitist, photographer, and occasional alternative model. I’m originally from East County, San Diego, California, but I currently reside in Los Olivos, California (Santa Barbara County).

    What is your proudest achievement so far?

    I’m proud of all the artwork I’ve created  on my own and have it be as well received as it has been over the years. I never sought the path of making any of this my profession, so to have had the opportunities I’ve had and be able to inspire others on both a creative and personal level means the world to me.

    Does being a photographer give you a different perspective when you are posing for photos as a model?

    Yes and no. I’ve been a photographer long before I became a model. I still don’t consider myself much of one as I shoot most of my own portraits. However, being both in front and behind the lens has greatly helped me when I have clients to shoot.

    I’m able to offer them more insight and guidance when it comes to what I’m looking for (and other photographers) in a composition and posing. I try to utilize all the skills I’ve learned and help others through my own experiences.

    How is a typical day like for you?

    Maintaining my sanity! I work freelance, so there’s all that that entails as well as preparing to move to Germany, ideally by January 2019! My husband is stationed there, and I’m working on establishing new clientele in Europe as well as making sure I stay as up to date as possible online with my modeling and photography work here in the States.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    To hear that I have inspired or empowered someone else.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    Outside of my work, I really enjoy singing and have actually been working on my technique for over a year now. It’s nothing I want to pursue as a future career, it’s just something I enjoy as an outlet from the chaos and I want to be decent at it.

    If you could be a fictional character, who will it be?

    I wouldn’t, haha! The idea of being anything or anyone other than me makes me uncomfortable.

    What is the lamest or funniest attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    I could write a book on this.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Britney. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Of course! Thank you for your interest in better understanding me and my work! I would classify “sexy” as embodying what makes  YOU  feel comfortable and confident in your skin. There’s a power in embracing the light and darkness in ourselves.

  • Ukrainian Model Mari

    Ukrainian Model Mari

    Hello! I’m from Ukraine, Kiev. Very nice to meet you

    When did you get started into modeling?

    I’m started modeling about five years ago, but I combined it with my job. And already two and a half years in, I’m traveling around the world and just doing modeling.

    What do you love most about being a model?

    That it’s nice for traveling, meeting all the time interesting people and trying to find yourself.

    Can you describe a typical day like for yourself?

    You mean my day as a model? Because for sure some days are just for family, friends, salons or relaxing. But my model days very often it’s on traveling, doesn’t matter it’s on a plane/tram/train/car, but always I’m spending most of my time there.

    I read books, listen to music, make my makeup (if we don’t have visa), planning next trip, booking hotels etc. And of course during the shooting, always meeting interesting new persons. For me, it’s one of the sides of why I like modeling, why I choose it.

    Is there any food or drink you can’t live without?

    You know, the last few years I’ve mostly not spend in my hometown, so for me now the better food is moms food.

    Are there any quotes or mottos you like to use in life?

    Oh I speak Spanish and it’s que difícil es ser you (how to difficult to be me) (joke)

    One that really helps me all the time, difficult to translate in English, but something like: what’s happening now it’s the best what can been in this moment (even if it’s looks like bad situation you need remember that possible be worse).

    If you could have a super power, what will it be?

    Super power? It’s an interesting question. I like super heroes because they help people so if I can I really want it, doesn’t matter how.

    Last month for the first time I transferred a grandmother across the road. I know it’s anything special, but before I thought that it’s just possible in movies.

    What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    Oh I don’t have any funny stories. I’m a strange person, don’t like meeting new people on the streets or restaurants, almost never respond to strangers in my Instagram, I even have a ring on my finger, although I’m not married.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Mari. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    All that we can see on photos depends on emotions. If they are not, then the photo is empty, and of course the eyes.

  • Model Ameerah Smith

    Model Ameerah Smith

    My most proudest achievements so far is definitely gonna be me stepping out of my comfort zone and joining a modeling competition (The New Paper New Face) last year and winning second place.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    “I’m sorry I got distracted by your eyes and your smile’’

    How is your beauty regime like?

    I don’t always use beauty products but I always wash my face 3 times a day and use moisturisers and face mask.

    Is there any food or drink you avoid?

    I always try to avoid sweet drinks and candy

    What is a typical day like for you?

    I don’t really have a typical day believe it or not. Hahah. I always try to make my day interesting, everyday.

    If you could travel to any part of the world for an experience, where will it be?

    I always want to visit Japan and experience everything and allll the food there! That includes learning how to cook some dank Japanese food from the chef!

    What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    So I was sitting at the bar listening to the live music with my fav gin tonic, and this dude just walks up to me and say,  “Hi, you look like the model I followed from Instagram but I’m pretty sure you’re not her…but I would love to follow you on IG.”

    So I type out my IG and the next thing I know, he actually fainted because he couldn’t believe his eyes that it was really me. The next day he drops me a text on my DM and he says last night he dreamt of meeting me at the bar..so I reply and say, “Yeah and you fainted and your friend had to carry you home”. Hahahahaha

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Ameerah. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

    For me sexy is if you’re smart, fearless, honest and respect other people.. it’s not a matter of appearance and shit..but if your attitudes’ like shit then it doesn’t count because you have to be sexy inside and outside.

  • Model & Philanthropist Angela Kienzle

    Model & Philanthropist Angela Kienzle

    I am a loud, loving, and out-going Puerto Rican! My family is my rock, and means EVERYTHING to me. A few years ago I lost 80lbs and got into fitness training. I am a huge advocate for women realizing that they can be more than just a mom and wife, and that if you drop the ball on your body, you can ALWAYS get it back.

    I am also a philanthropist and work with FONDAPS Haiti, an organization that helps fund a soccer club, which in turn teaches the children that there is more than just the streets of Haiti. I help gather donations of clothes, toys, and water for an orphanage there as well with incredible children!

    Philanthropy work has always been something that has been in my heart since I was young and going overseas to Haiti with the most incredible trip of my life. Thank you to my friends Tracy Gregorowicz and Bonnie Korsgaard  for being in my life and allowing me the opportunity!!!

    Photo: Little Skull Photography

    Which is your most memorable modeling experience so far?

    So far my most memorable modeling experience was working with Little Skull Photography, the vibe that they have in their studio is SO incredible! The music is going, the ambiance is cool and the photographers are just badass! You can check out a lot of my behind the scenes clips on my IG @myworldframed!

    Photo: Bryan Woods photography

    Do you have a strict beauty or fitness regime you follow daily?

    In the morning I always take my probiotics, hair, skin and nails gummy vitamins, and my B12! You’d be surprised how much better you look and feel by taking care of the inside of your body as well as the outside. I also make sure to remember to wash my face at night!

    Photo: GGP Studios

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    The best compliment I’ve ever received was when someone told me that they loved that I showed women that you can still be sexy when you are a mom AND a wife! That made me feel amazing, because your life does NOT stop at motherhood or marriage.

    Have you been in an embarrassing moment that is funny now?

    The most embarrassing moment I had was in my hometown at The House Pub in St. Charles, IL with friends and while I was walking down the carpeted stairs, my heel got stuck and I flew forward and the heel was STILL stuck in place! I was mortified, but I got up and strutted to the bar LOL.

    Photo: Tropical Photography

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do or learn but haven’t had the time?

    I used to love designing clothes and even bought myself a body form, but I was only able to complete a couple pieces. I would have LOVED to learn more about the art of fashion design.

    Photo: Tropical Photography

    Which flavor best describes you?

    Spicy, I’m very spicy. Like a good ole’ Buffalo Wing sauce that’s hot, but ooooh SO good.

    What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    Sending a topless photo through Snapchat.. randomly. It was just so gross.

    Photo: Little Skull Photography

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Angela. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Just knowing your worth and being confident no matter what people may think or say ….it will resonate around you. That my friends …. is SO sexy.

  • San Jose Model, Charlotte Anderson

    San Jose Model, Charlotte Anderson

    I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I currently live in the enormous (but not very well known outside of California) city of San Jose. I recently made the jump from corporate America to full time freelancer, and it has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made.

    Most days you can find me shooting, trying to book future shoots, and working on self care and self improvement. In my free time, I love seeing live music, hiking, playing with my adorable cats, and spending 8-10 hrs a day looking at memes, plus another 1-2 hrs per day trying to decide what to watch on Netflix.

    Photo: @stephroars

    What inspired you to get into modeling?

    I was 14 years old and was sick in bed one day watching entire seasons of America’s Next Top Model on VH1. I remember admiring the girls on the show and dreaming of one day when it would be my turn to rock the runway. I told my parents the news about my newfound career path, and they immediately shut me down. So eventually I forgot about my dream, and quietly kept watching from the sidelines.

    Then literally 10 years later, a friend of mine asked me to pose for him for a photography school project. Oh, and by the way, it was nude! I was super hesitant and shy, but decided to go for it because I trusted his abilities and that he wouldn’t post the photos online. I ended up loving the shots, and he introduced me to Model Mayhem. The rest is history.

    P.S. I did try out for Top Model a couple of years ago and was turned down during the interview phase. Their loss!

    Do you have a preferred genre to model?

    I really enjoy creative, moody nude art concepts. I also want to get more into beauty and editorial looks, but those opportunities are harder to come by in the freelance world.

    Photo: @dagodfaddah

    Which is your most challenging photoshoot experience so far?

    Probably shooting in cold conditions and not letting the discomfort show in my facial expressions. Another challenge is standing your ground when unprofessional photographers ask you to go beyond your limits or comfort level on set. Luckily the vast majority of my experiences have been positive.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a party animal are you?

    Negative 17.

    Photo: @singian

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t had the time?

    Well it’s not that I haven’t had the time, but the resources…I want to travel the country in an RV, and then fly to exotic destinations around the world, shooting and documenting my travels along the way.

    If you could have a super power, what will it be?

    The ability to make snacks appear at a moment’s notice, and then eat them without gaining weight.

    Photo: @foreignflavas

    What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    Probably the countless DMs I get asking for free nudes.

    Photo: @lamargphoto

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Charlotte. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    I think sexiness is more of a feeling than anything else. Sometimes you’re just feelin yourself, and you exude sexiness, even if you’re dressed comfy with no makeup on. Comfy sexiness is the best!

  • Model & Singer Tina DeLane Richter

    Model & Singer Tina DeLane Richter

    Thank you for featuring me! I have been showcasing my talents of singing, acting, dancing and modeling for eight years. But I also love to write, paint and draw. I was born and raised in Madison and Sun Prairie, WI area.

    What inspired you to go into modeling?

    Ever since I was little I was inspired by models on magazine covers and billboards. I did photoshoots with old high school classmates, and lots of memories came from it, so getting in front of the camera became fun. I had more experience performing in front of live audiences in theatre, but I was willing to try something new.

    Is posing on camera a lot harder than it looks?

    Posing is on-the-spot direction. A creative director or photographer may have a specific vision in mind though, so they will direct the model. If I have not worked with the photographer yet, I tend to be a little timid at first, but then I warm up to their style and how they take photos.

    What other interests and hobbies do you have?

    I love doing hair, makeup and nails. Art and writing are also hobbies I have. I really want to travel and do photography.

    If you could collaborate or work with anyone in this world, who will it be?

    My dream is to model with Gigi and Bella Hadid.

    Do you believe in any superstition?

    No.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?

    As many slices as there are on a large pizza.

    What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    There have been guys that pretend like they care about my life, then ask for nudes.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Tina. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Confidence and willpower.

  • New Jersey Model Olivia Giannella

    New Jersey Model Olivia Giannella

    Pleasure to be featured! I am from New Jersey, just a small town in Bergen County.

    When and how did you get started into modeling?

    I started modeling when I started pushing my workouts and going to the gym religiously. I was shopping at this boutique called Glam Woman’s Fashion located at Garden State Plaza and they loved my look and asked me to model for them. The rest was history.

    What perks do you love about being a model?

    I would say some perks would be free clothes, discounts on specialty items, and having a great following where you can communicate back and forward with. My followers definitely want to know more and more about me and I would be happy to answer any questions they ask.

    How will you describe your beauty regime to look so fabulous?

    My beauty regime is a blowout every week, lashes every three weeks, nails every two weeks, and spray tans every month. I use St. Tropez self-tanner because it is way cheaper and easy to apply. I love it! I also believe going to yoga and spin class helps as well. Totally destresses the body.

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t found the time?

    I have always wanted to sky dive! It would be so fun!

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a party animal are you?

    I would say an 8.8 haha! I LOVE to go out and have a good time with my girlfriends. Tequila and a splash of lime is my go to drink!

    If you could collaborate with anyone past or present, who will it be?

    Hmm I would love to do a collaboration with Meshki, I LOVE their clothes and the best quality.

    Which is a funny or lame attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    A funny attempt was I was sitting in traffic on my way to the city and a guy got out of his car and knocked on my window basically wanting to get my number and take me to drinks. It was cute and funny.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Olivia. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy is confident. If you have that, you can do anything.

  • Internationally Published Model Jenny Bee

    Internationally Published Model Jenny Bee

    What hobbies and interests do you have?

    I love to sing, dance and I’m very athletic. I used to play soccer and softball and I can throw a football better than most guys! 🙂

    Do you have a favorite or memorable travel experience to share?

    My most recent travel experience was a two week modeling tour with photographer Jason Lanier. We went from Texas to North Carolina to Pa and Dc and it was my first time on a plane alone! I learned a lot on the tour and made beautiful friends. It was an amazing opportunity!

    Is there anything you like to learn but have not had the time to do so?

    I would like to learn more mixed martial arts. Throughout my life I have trained with different people and I want to be more fluent in Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?

    My sister is a true foodie and one of my brothers wants to be a chef so I definitely can’t call myself a true foodie. I am more of a chocolate/candy foodie haha.

    If you could a superpower, what will it be and why?

    I don’t know about choosing one super power, but I would be Spider-Man in a second. Rather, spider woman!

    How do you like to spend your weekends?

    My weekends are spent modeling because that’s when most of my photoshoots are and I absolutely love it. I enjoy working more than going to bars or clubs because I love what I do.

    What turns you off on a date?

    Biggest turn off on a date is if the guy is cheap. Yuck.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jenny. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    I define sexy as a feeling. A sort of swag and confidence you give off with body language. It’s not all about how you look or what size you are. Confidence is everything.

  • Model, Influencer & Fashion Blogger Selene Meneguin

    Model, Influencer & Fashion Blogger Selene Meneguin

    How did you get into modeling?

    Accompanied a friend to a casting and was select. From there, started with modeling and TV. My experience is catalog, sports, events, glamor, lingerie, model, promotional, advertising, host on TV. I like to work as a model because it gives me many rewards and recognition.

    In the course of my career I met important, recognized people who opened doors for me on TV. Three years ago I began to work professionally as a fashion blogger, influencer. I work with international brands from USA, Australia, Italy and others. I am very happy with that project and I am very dedicated to that now.

    Do you have a favorite or memorable photoshoot experience to share?

    When I started I did a campaign for energy drinks, I got very nervous to the set but then I let go because the work environment was very cool and as we were 15 girls it was very fun, and that day I had a great time and I made many friends. It is very good when the work is fun and enjoyable.

    Are there any favorite quotes you have that you use in life?

    Yes definitely … (There is no substitute for hard work. Never give up. Never stop believing. Never stop fighting)

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a party animal are you?

    3,  I’m not much into parties. I’m more into sports, and travels.

    If you could a superpower, what will it be and why?

    Without hesitation, to read minds, haha, who would not like to know what others are thinking?! But obviously only for a short period.

    How do you like to spend your weekends?

    I try to take advantage of that free time to spend with my friends and family. Since in the week I am very busy. I like to go to the movies, eat out, go for a drink. But always starting the morning at the gym.

    What turns you off on a date?

    A boring man who has no subject of conversation. That he does not strive to look elegant, and neat. 

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Selene. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?  

    Being sexy is insinuation. Creating attention to the others without having to undress, catching looks without being so exposed.

    Hi! Thanks for featuring me! I am a 21 year old model. I am from Lisbon. I love traveling, listening to music, walking.

    Group work: Carlos Fotopaixão, Marta and Tomás Lança

    What do you love most about modeling?

    I love being creative. Modeling allows me to express myself, with my facial expressions and body. I love to explore the photographer’s ideas and share mine.

    Is there a genre of modeling you are particularly attracted to?

    Yes. I really like editorial/fashion photoshoots with a sexy vibe.

    Can you describe your fashion style?

    Oh, this one is difficult! It really depends on the day. Sometimes I am very casual, with jeans and sneakers. Others I just love to put some killer high heels and tighter clothing. But usually I love to wear leather jackets, skinny jeans, high waisted clothes and dresses. With colors, I think what I wear more is black, white, pink and dark blue.

    What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    I can remember about one… I was in in an airplane that went from Istanbul to Athens and a guy started asking me a lot of questions before entering the plane. I almost didn’t answer because he was being annoying. So, we entered the plane and after a bit he came to sit next to me saying he didn’t like to fly alone. He was asking so many random questions and I just pretended I fell asleep.
