N54: Hi CC. Thanks for taking the time to sit down and talk to us. So to start, tell us where you are from and when did you start modeling? I’m from the small tourist town of Wisconsin Dells, WI. I started modeling in August 2011, which is crazy now that I think about it. Everything has happened so fast! It started with a small shoot in Chicago and has taken off from there! A lot of people had been telling me that I had the curves to do swimwear/lingerie stuff, so finally I just did it.
N54: Are you currently still in Wisconsin? Yes, I still go to school in Wisconsin, hoping to get my bachelor’s degree in Political Science in Spring 2013. One more year! Thank god!
N54: So. Are you single? Married? etc.? I am single right now. This is my time and I just want to focus on business. I’m also only 20 years old, so I have lots of time to date. I’m definitely not in any rush to settle down.
N54: Who are your role models? I would have to say that the person I look up to right now is Kim Kardashian. I know, I know, everyone is sick of them. But she made an empire out of her name, that’s a business woman!
N54: What is the biggest misconception of you? The biggest misconception people have of me is that I’m an attention seeker. It’s hilarious because I’m the total opposite. When somebody comes up to me and says they’ve seen my pictures I go into a shell. I don’t know why! It’s weird. I didn’t think I’d be like that when I first started modeling. I’m not embarrassed, I just get really shy.
N54: What is your favorite thing about modeling? My favorite thing about modeling is definitely meeting new people and going new places. So far I’ve traveled to New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, & Miami. And everyone I’ve met along the way has been great. Los Angeles is in the works right now, I’m crossing my fingers!
N54: SO how is the industry treating you? It is hard being in this industry and living in Wisconsin because I’m so far away from the big cities where everything is happening. I do intend to move, but I promised myself that I would get my degree before. Because if all of a sudden modeling doesn’t work out, what would I have to fall back on?
N54: Thats smart thinking. Its always good to have something to fall back on. What song would you say describes you? If there was a song that could describe me it would be “Go Girl” by Ciara. The first line is “I’m the incredible, super sexual, call me CC”, so I obviously fell in love with it after I heard that!
N54: What is your favorite thing to do outide of modeling? My favorite thing to do outside of modeling is to read. I’m such a bookworm, I don’t think a lot of my friends even know that about me. I would die if I met James Patterson, I think I’ve read almost every book of his.
N54: What is your real name and how did you get your nickname? Sierra is my real name. CC is a nickname I got in elementary school, I can’t remember who gave it to me, but it stuck. My dad is the only person who still calls me Sierra. Even my professors call me CC.
N54: So how do you keep that AWESOME Physique? I stay in shape by working out, point blank. I usually workout 6 days a week, spring break messed that up haha, but I’m back on track! Diets don’t work for me. The more I can’t have something, the more I want it, so I stay away from diets. I just try and eat healthy, of course I mess up sometimes, but for the most part I have good eating habits. There is zero junk food in my house, and that helps a lot! I would love to get into acting or voiceovers. With both you get to pretend to be somebody else and let loose, I think that would be fun.
N54: Do you feel underestimated in the game becasue of your age? I think a lot of people underestimate me because I’m so young. I’ve realized that a lot of models are way older than they look. I’m always the youngest when I go to group shoots. But I keep up! They realize that when the camera starts flashing haha.
N54: Any thing interesting in the works for you? This year I think I’m most excited to turn 21, I cannot wait. It will open up a lot of doors in modeling because right now I can’t work for alcohol companies, promote clubs, host parties, etc. But come June 11th, I will be all over! I’m celebrating my birthday in Vegas, June 11-14, I think everyone in the world should fly in to party with me!

Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us. I know how busy your schedule is so I will try to not take up too much of your time. How did you get involved in modeling? Modeling, and being photographed has always appealed to me. Although, I got into the business not so long ago, the fact that I saw potential in myself after just a few test shoots led me to give it an actual try. Thats whats up. So what are some of the types of shoots you have done and what would you say has been your favorite type of shoot to date? I’ve tried every style from glam, fashion, urban, swimwear, pin up, etc... I’ve enjoyed shooting in allthese different looks because it shows versatility, so choosing one is pretty difficult! Lol. I can understand that. So who have you worked with in the game and what is the next move for Karla? I’ve done a variety of things in the field of modeling. For instance I’ve had the opportunity to shoot with some amazing photographers here in south florida for features, and magazines. I’ve worked with well known artists for their music videos, and I’ve hosted a lot of events in south beach, brickell, ft lauderdale you name it! As far as what’s next for me I would say keep a close eye out because you’ll be seeing a lot more of me soon ;-) Thats pretty awesome giving your short time in the game...

I’m 5’6 , about 130, and my measurements are 34, 25, 39 What trait do you like most about yourself? I’ve always been told I’m a very genuine person because I say it how it is and don’t hold anything back. So I definitely like the fact that I’m straightforward. Now, if we’re talking about physical traits I must say my eyes are what I like most about myself Who are some of your role models? My mom and my grandmother, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it wasn’t for them! Celebrities, to name a few, I’d say Tyra Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Joanna Krupa. I admire their success as individuals for having accomplished so much during the course of their careers. What trait do you like most about yourself? I’ve always been told I’m a very genuine person because I say it how it is and don’t hold anything back. So I like the fact that I’m straightforward. What trait do you dislike most about yourself? I was a had a better notion of time, I’m always like “I’ll be there in 5!”, and I end up getting there half an hour later :/ So what would you say is your best physical feature? I always get told my eyes and my butt lol Hmm... Well with that said, how do you keep in such great shape? I work out twice a week with my trainer and I drink a lot of water.. I guess that’s the trick. Do you have any pets? If so what kind? Yes! I have 2 dogs, a hot dog named Choco, and a mini pinscher named Bailey that I recently got as a present :) On what occasion do you think it’s okay to lie? I try to always tell the truth, but at times little white lies are acceptable. What is your idea of perfect happiness? My idea of perfect happiness is good health, being 100% comfortable in your skin, financial stability, and being surrounded by family and friends who love you no matter what. What three things would you take with you to a deserted island? Food and water (counts together as one thing lol) my phone, and a friend, I don’t want to be bored out of my mind! If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be? Honestly, I’m really happy where I’m at right now, and I wouldn’t change anything about my life. What do find to be the sexiest thing about the opposite sex or same sex if that’s your thing? find many things attractive in the opposite sex, but the two things I like most are strong arms and a nice smile. Do you have any upcoming projects that you would like to share? I have two calendars coming out, including one for the Latin Mixx and another calendar sponsored by ICE magazine. What was the craziest thing that has happened to you on a shoot? I thought it would just be just me and the photographer at the location, turns out a had an audience by the time I got out of there! Three Words... Describe yourself... Hard-working, talkative, and friendly. What do you like and dislike about being a model? I like that I’m always meeting different people which allows me to network. The only thing I dislike is sometimes things are said about you that aren’t true, but that happens no matter what career path you choose, you just gotta cope with it and keep your head up. What is your favorite type of food? That’s so hard, because I love food!! I’ll eat anything from pasta, to seafood, cuban food, and I have quite the sweet tooth as well (I try to watch it though lol) How do you seduce a guy? Well, for my boyfriend I’d start off by wearing a really sexy lingerie set, followed by a massage. I’d then whisper in his hear and have him look me in the eye, and it’ll all go from there ;) If you were an animal, what would you be? I’d probably be a bird, must be cool to take off and fly when you want to. Some models say they feel sexy and even turned on when posing for the camera. Do you feel that way when posing? I definitely feel sexy when I’m posing for the camera. I try to stay focused and give my all in every shoot that I do so that way when I look at my images I’ll be happy with the turn out of that shoot. What’s the worst pick-up line ever used on you? Hey baby you’re so fine you make me stutter, wha wha what’s your name? I couldn’t stop laughing.... What advice would you give to anyone trying to approach you? Be yourself.

THE BASICS Age: 20 Birth Place: Anaheim, CA Occupation: Model/ student Nationality: American Ethnicity: Mexican Height: 5’5” Weight: 116 Measurements: 36D-25-36 What trait do you like most about yourself? I would say my friendliness. I am always open to making friends with anyone. I f you want to be my friend then I want to be your friend. =) What traits do you dislike most about yourself? I don’t like that I’ll hold a grudge forever. I just seem to have a hard time forgiving people that did me wrong. What is your best physical feature? I would say my eyes they’re hazel and I’m constantly getting compliments on them. How do you keep in such great shape? I actually just started going to the gym about 3 weeks ago. I go 6 days a week and stay there for 2-3 hours a day depending on how much I feel like working out. I also changed my eating habits. I do not eat out anymore but If I absolutely am craving something like a hamburger I’ll get like a protein burger from In n Out or a Salad and water instead of soda. At home all the food I consume got traded in for fat free or low fat labels lol. Do you have any pets? If so what kind? I have 2 tiny Pomeranians (Gucci & Mocha), 2 Siberian Huskies (Aspen & Akira), and 2 fishes. I absolutely love animals and I spoil my pets a lot! On what occasion do you think its okay to lie? I really try to keep myself from lying since I hate people who lie. But little lies do come out here and there such as if a pushy guy at the club keeps asking me to dance and I don’t feel like dancing I’ll tell him my boyfriend went to go get us drinks and he should be back any minute now. Always works lol. What is your idea of perfect happiness? My idea of perfect happiness would be being happily married and in love with one or two children. Being financially secure and able to travel around the world without stress and problems. What three things would you take with you to a deserted island? I would bring my glasses to help me start fires to cook my food lol, their really cute Dolce & Gabbana anyhow so I wouldn’t mind bringing them. I would also bring a huge jug of water never know how long it will take me to find fresh water. And last but not least I would bring a big cozy tent for shelter =) If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be? I would say not demonstrating as much appreciation to my parents as they deserve. About a year ago I put this loser boyfriend above them he was #1 in my life and they were #2 and looking back now I feel so bad and wish I could go back and put the first and if he didn’t like it then give him the boot. If you could spend one night with anyone in the world, who would it be and why? Cristiano Ronaldo, lol do I really need to explain why, I mean look at him he’s gorgeous. He’s definitely my type of guy physically. Plus he’s a really good soccer player. What do find to be the sexiest thing about the opposite sex or same sex if that’s your thing? I would say the male body when they’re cut from hitting them gym. Do you have any upcoming projects that you would like to share? My website Joselyncano.com is still under construction but it should be done soon! What was the craziest thing that has happened to you on a shoot? Haha this happened a few days ago actually. I was at a shoot in a desert and it was really, really windy. I was leaning down strapping on my high heel when one of the photographer’s lights falls on my head. It hurt really bad! How long have you been modeling? I actually started when I was 16. I had braces and I was underage so I was really limited to what I could do so I decided to put it on hold. About 2 months ago I finally started doing it again and I love it! What got you into modeling? Ever since I was young I always wanted to model so I knew I would get into it sooner or later. Three Words... Describe yourself... confident, sweet, and determined. What do you like and dislike about being a model? I love the confidence I get out of it and each image I take is like producing art. I don’t like how in pictures my flaws really seem to be magnified. For example before I started Modeling I was at 127 lbs I thought I looked great but in pictures I looked somewhat thicker than I did in person so I felt pressured to lose 10lbs. What is your favorite type of food? Italian food (Lasagna) and sushi (Mexican Roll is the best) Who are some of your role models? Marilyn Monroe, and Kim Kardashian. How do you seduce a guy? I’ll give him mixed signals, like I’ll act like I’m interested by flirting yet, act like I might not be. I notice this keeps guys hooked they love when they can’t read you 100%. I like to be mysterious because it keeps them wanting to know more about you. If you were an animal, what would you be? A bird so I can fly. If anyone is interested in using you for their product, how can they find you? Joselyncano.com, myspace.com/luvjoselyncano or they can contact me through my email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. During a shoot, what is running through your head? Thoughts are as follows lol: I need to suck in my stomach, does my hair look good, and I wonder if I need to touch up my makeup, I need a break What’s the worst pick-up line ever used on you? “I have some modeling gigs lined up for you so give me your email & number so we can talk about work together.” A few days later I’ll receive calls from these guys and its nothing close to business related calls. More like personal calls trying to set up a date. I find this very annoying!! What advice would you give to anyone trying to approach you? Please be yourself! Don’t lie to me to try to look cool, I can always tell when you’re lying and if I can’t tell on the spot I promise I will find out sooner or later and then I’ll stop talking to you. Be respectful, outgoing, and funny. If you make me laugh and your handsome I will most likely give you my number. If your pushy you don’t stand a chance. |

AS HOT AS HOT CAN BE - SHE IS BURNING UP THE MODELING INDUSTRY!
Photos by: Marquest of MQ Images, Inc.
Every so often a model comes along that has what it takes. We don’t know what it is exactly about this person that draws us in, but whatever it is, it keeps us captivated long enough to want to know more about this person. Jasmine has that star quality, the motivation, education and ambition to take any and every project she wants to do to the next level.
Hi Jasmine. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with me. Let’s start with the basics first Age, Location, Nationality and Measurements?
23 yrs old, Miami, I’m Colombian... and my measurements are 34-25-37
What’s your favorite thing about being a model?
Meeting people
How long have you been modeling and where do you want to go with it?
I been modeling since last year... eventually I would like my modeling career to take off so I can network and perhaps start my fashion styling career.
What types of modeling styles do you do and feel completely comfortable shooting?
I like shooting in swimwear because that it shoes off my body the best. I also feel very comfortable in boy shorts rather than thongs.
Three words describe Jasmine... Confident, loyal, respectful
So I understand you have a Bachelors Degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising. What is that and how can that help with the modeling industry?
The fashion industry is part of modeling. Modeling gives you another point of view of the fashion world. To stand out as a model you have to be different and know how to dress and style yourself! Also you might be a role model to younger girls, so you want to let them know it’s not just about having a pretty face or nice body. Education is VERY important especially if you want people to take you seriously in this industry.
So basically you do fashion designs. That’s awesome. So that means you can be the next Coco Chanel or Vera Wang. That’s what’s up. What made you want to choose this particular field?
I can design and create the actual garment... But I’m more into the styling and visual merchandising aspect of fashion. When I was in high school I was in the year book for best dressed. I have always loved fashion and didn’t see myself spending the rest of my life doing something different than what I love
What makes you different than the other models trying to come up in the game right now?
Unlike other models i actually have a bachelor’s degree which is something to fall on. I’m also very responsible when it comes to work and I’m about my business.
To date, what has been your favorite overall shoot and why?
My favorite shoot was with my best friend Cassie Melinda on South Beach because we were just having fun with Marquest (the photographer) and I was very relaxed and comfortable it didn’t even feel like a shoot.
Besides modeling, what do you like to do for fun or excitement?
I love to travel and just simply spend time with my friends and loved ones.
Do you have any projects in the works now that we should keep an eye out for?
Yes but I don’t want to say them yet because it’s not for sure yet and I rather it be a surprise :)
What are some of the things you dislike about the modeling industry?
I dislike sneaky photographers that you can’t trust because you don’t know their real intentions
You have such an awesome look... What does it take to maintain your look, style and shape?
Aww thanks! I honestly don’t really do much to keep my look besides the regular like getting my hair and nails done.
So if someone is looking to book you or contact you, where should they go?
They can email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or modelmayhem.com/jasmincalle
Who are some of your influences in the modeling industry today?
I admire many models today can’t really name a few there’s a handful doing their thing out there!
What are some of the things you would like to achieve in the modeling industry before your done?
There’s no limit to what I want to achieve possibilities are endless
If you could change one thing about yourself or your life, what would it be and why?
I wouldn’t change a thing every day is a learning experience!
Do you have any final words or shout outs?
Shout out to all my twitter friends :)
Thanks for taking the time out to chat with me. I know you have a lot going on and I appreciate it. I can’t wait to see your designs and future modeling portfolio. I am pretty sure you will make a mark on this industry.

Lets start with the basics first Age, Location, Nationality and Measurements?
Age: 21
Nationality: African American
Measurements: 24-24-32
Out the gate the first thing that is noticed about you is your long legs lol.. How tall are you? 5’6
You definitely have the build of a runway model, have you done any fashion shows or runway type events? Recently, I have been focusing on photo shoots and putting together a portfolio. I am also currently in Tallahassee, FL, in undergrad school, and unfortunately, there are not many opportunities here to pursue my modeling career. However, my hometown is Fort Lauderdale, and whenever I come home I am exploring such opportunities.
What’s your favorite thing about being a model? Wow! You cannot believe the extra boost of confidence modeling gives me. I am able to express my creativity in fashion & poses in a way that is totally unique to modeling.
How long have you been modeling and where do you want to go with it? I have been doing print modeling off and on for approximately two years now. I plan to go wherever it takes me.
What types of modeling styles do you do and feel completely comfortable shooting? High fashion, print, swimwear, urban wear, certain lingerie - though nothing too provocative. I keep it classy!
So I understand you are attending FAMU studying Biology. Interesting. Why this particular field and not something fashion related? I have always aspired to be well-rounded and not limit myself when stepping out into the fashion world. My major is actually Biology/Pre-dentistry; one of my goals is to become a highly fashionable orthodontist, and even in this profession I envision using my creativity in giving others that beautiful smile they have always wanted. I do not doubt that I can likewise incorporate - somehow - my major into my modeling.
What makes you different than the other models trying to come up in the game right now? I AM different because I am Daneshia Toomer, and there is no other like me. I portray and embrace my own sexy aura; my high cheek bones are unique; my creativity, concepts and ideas make me stand out from the rest.

THIS IS WHY I’M HOT!
Hi Thao. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with me. I know how hectic life can get during a move. lol. Let’s start with the basics first and get you warmed up lol... Age, Location, Nationality and Measurements?
Well, first of all, I would like to thank you for letting me be a part of your magazine...I am very honored. :)
My name is Thao and I am 27 yrs old. I am full Vietnamese, and live in Orange County, CA.
My measurements are 34D/26/36.
You have a VERY diversified Portfolio. The images I saw were unbelievable. How long has it taken you to build such a creative portfolio?
Thank you very much. I started to rebuild my portfolio about a year and a half ago when I decided to get back into the world of acting and modeling. I have been very blessed to have worked with some wonderful photographers, makeup artists, and stylists, who I thank for helping me along the way.
A lot of people have their personal opinions on nude modeling etc. obviously this is not a problem for you. What are your thoughts or comments for those who look down at this type of modeling?
I have always been very comfortable with my body. I am aware that nude modeling is not for everyone, and I completely respect that. But for me, as long as it is done tastefully and artistically, I see no harm done. The female body is a beautiful work of art, and I think it’s empowering when a woman is free and confident enough to express herself in that way.
Well I can say you know how to be sexy, this is definitely apparent in your images and it is more than the type of clothes you have on, it’s all in the look you present. How do you know when to turn it on or off in certain situations?
I believe all women possess that talent...Lol. :)
Hahaha. Yea your right about that. To date, what has been your favorite overall shoot and why?
Wow, I’ve had so many great shoots!... But if I have to pick just one, it would be my first Playboy shoot which was for College Girls Newsstand Special. I was so young and eager, and just extremely excited to be shooting with such a prestigious magazine. I felt like such a movie star with everyone pampering me with hair and makeup... I can never get sick of that feeling. :)
How did you get yourself involved in the modeling industry and where has it taken you so far? Where are you looking to go with the modeling thing?
I was approached by a model scout at the mall when I was 18. I ended up meeting and signing with a small agency in Beverly Hills, and it kinda just took off from there. I would love to continue doing what I love, and also get more into acting as well.
You have clearly accomplished a lot from calendars, to book covers, to Magazine covers the works so far. Tell us something’s you haven’t accomplished that you would like to accomplish?
There is so much more I still want to accomplish. I would love to get more into fashion and editorial, and maybe see myself on a billboard for a huge, national campaign. I hope to do more magazine and print work, but ultimately my dreams are of being on the big screen.
Do you have any projects in the works now that we should keep an eye out for?
I have some small featured parts in a couple movies coming out this year. The first is “Get Him Back to the Greek” which is the follow-up to “Forgetting Sara Marshall.” The other is “The Green Hornet” which stars Cameron Diaz and Seth Rogan. I am also featured in a motorcycle calendar that will be coming out 2010-2011.
So are you married, single, taken? I’m pretty sure curious minds will want to know lol
I am not married, but I am currently taken... :) He’s a really nice guy who’s always been very supportive of my modeling.
So if someone is looking to book you or contact you, where should they go?
www.thao-n.com
Who are some of your influences in the modeling industry today?
Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks. They both started out as models, but worked hard to prove that they can be more than just a pretty face. They are both hugely successful business women now who star and produce their own shows. Not only that, but Heidi Klum is also a Mom and wife, and seems to balance her personal and professional life extremely well. I truly admire that.
If you could change one thing about yourself or your life, what would it be and why?
I would like to be a bit more adventurous. I always stay within my comfort zone, and would like to try to get out more and explore different things, people, places, foods, etc. I just feel there is so much more to experience that I am currently missing out on.
So pass on a few words of wisdom will you please, if a model is looking to get into this business, what should he/she do to get started and what should they stay away from in your experience?
Do your homework and research agencies or managers you’re looking to work with. Try to always have someone go with you if you can. And if it’s a legitimate modeling agency, you shouldn’t have to fork out tons of money to build your portfolio. There’s always minor costs here and there, but it shouldn’t be anything unreasonable.
Do you have any final words or shout outs?
Thanks again for having me on Nine5Four. I hope it won’t be the last... :)
Also, to all my fans, family, and friends...I luv you all!
Thanks again for taking the time out to chat with me. Your work is Amazing and I am definitely looking forward to seeing more big things coming out of you, Maybe a cover in Nine5Four Later this year? You already know lol... Thanks Thao...
Most definitely!!! ...Until then, stay blessed! Muah! :)
