1. What is your username, how long have you been watching the competition, and how did you find this comunity? modernsaints. Been watching for the past cycle, and I... have a terrible memory and am actually completely unsure how I found it. :(
2. Who is your biggest role model? Kurt Vonnegut. I've adored his writing for years, and I think there's something genuinely wonderful about him taking all that negative energy in his life and turning it into a force for good - making it witty and insightful and forceful, and altering people's lives with it. He could've let so much of what happened to him destroy him, but he turned it around into wonderful art. I respect that.
3. What are your strengths and weaknesses as a model? I have the dedication to commit to getting a good shot, and I'm willing to work outside of my normal style. I am super-critical, and I'm willing to accept the criticism of others when it's valid. As for weaknesses... well, I recognize that I'm not model-skinny, and that I'll have to really work to get this right. I'm not a natural, but I'm willing to put in the effort to get close.
4. Are you pursuing modeling as a career, or is it just a hobby? Just a hobby, ultimately.
5. If you could be signed to any modeling agency in the world, which would it be? Hm, that is a good question! I think.. I will go with Elite Model Management, because I think as far as producing big-name models goes, they are the ones to work with. (Also, Adriana Lima works/worked for them. And damn if you have seen that girl, I need say nothing else!)
6. Are there any events or occasions that may interfere with your performance in the competition? I have a few things coming up, but I won't let them interfere with the competition.
7. Who do you think will be your biggest competition? Maria, without a doubt.
8. If you’re under 18, do your parents know that you’re participating in this competition? No, they do not.
9. Please give at least one photoshoot idea. Please make sure that it has not been done here before. A shoot where everyone imitates a favorite character from a novel!!
10. Who is your favorite supermodel, and why? Twiggy! She was so incredibly adorable back in the day, and had exactly the sort of look I can only wish I had. Nowadays, she reminds me of my aunts. Plus she seems genuinely sweet. :)
