Jones,Paul Wall,Slim Thug(the whole swisha house fam),Ciara, and i love
any slow music.
What is your favorite meal?My favorite meal is my mon's meatloaf,mashed potatoes, and green beans.
What’s your sign? Did that last question sound more like a pickup line?I'm a Virgo and no i didn't think that was a pickup line.
Was it?
[um...not really, it was just after I asked it, it sounded like a really bad pick up line. ]Speaking of pick up line what was the best one you heard? What was the worst?The
best pickup line i've heard is....oh wait,i've never heard one,they're
all lame to me,i like originality. The worst i've heard is..Are you
tired,because you've been running through my mind all day.
I
read in your yahoo group that you work for Maytag, you wouldn’t happen
to be one of those Maytag repairmen (repairwomen)? Those Maytag
commercials make that seem to be one of the best jobs someone can get,
who wouldn’t like a job where all you do is set around and do nothing.Oh,
the maytag question! No i didn't get as lucky as the commercial made it
look. I work hard in a factory assembling parts to dryers,i used to
work on washers and i's hard work,but it's worth the money and the
experience.
What do you like to do during your free time?During
my free time,i go out with my homegirl,we sometimes go to a club on
Saturday nights,then we wake up on time to go to church on Sunday
mornings..what a combination!!!
Why did you decide to become a model?I
decided to become a model because there was this agency/school trying
to get me with them forever,but they charged like $598 for 2 days. I
felt like i could do this on my own and clean my act up along the way
while getting exposure.
Name one of the greatest challenge/hardship you faced trying to be a model.The
hardships/challenges i got out of this is working hard without making
any money when you first start out,but it pushes you to work even harder
for a penny.
What is one of the coolest things you got out of modeling?One
of the coolest things i got out of modeling...I've met so many real
people. People who make money but are still real. I've worked with a
production company and met celebrities who act like normal everyday
people and i think that's cool.
What type of modeling do you like doing best?I like doing print,commercial,and glamor modeling because i want to do magazines and music videos.
I
noticed on your yahoo group that you feature a different model every
month. Why did you decide to do this, instead of making it all about
you?My yahoo group....i feel like it's not all about me. i
feature models,artists,people who are successful who started at the
bottom like everybody else. It makes me happy to see other people make
it also.
And now for a really serious question, who would win in a fight Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or JodaciI think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got this,hands down.
Are there any last words you would like to leave are readers?Coming
from where i'm from,this whole experience has been a blessing,as well
as, a whirlwind. I want to thank my family,friends,and supporters for
being there for me when i thought i couldn't make it. I want to tell the
people out there in the struggle to keep your head up,GOD is watching
and he will give you what you need to make it through.He sends you
flowers every Spring,sunrise every morning,he's always there to talk
to,and out of all the places in the universe to live,he chose your
heart. So,when you feel like giving up,think about the reality of it
all.
