UVB: Laughs, that most have been fun...People tend to believe modeling is just way to easy, taking shots and getting published. But they never really know the preparations, networking and work been put into it. Can you tell us some challenges you have come across?

Nali: It really is much more then that its hard work, I mean not only for the model but for the photographer as well many decisions that need to be made, you have to come to an agreement with everyone else your working with put your ideas together until finally everyone on the same pg. & even after the final touch its still hard work because what you think at the moment may be a good idea or may look good it may not be for others.

Now; don’t go thinkin im a boring person cause trust im far from it lol im always up to something crazy as people say “up to no good” lol, im a very happy person, always laughing, very random & goofy!

UVB: Do you consider yourself a sexual person? And whats your sexual weak spot?

Nali: Yes; I do but I can contain myself, my weak spots would have to be the back of my neck & lower back.

UVB: Whats the most special thing a guy has done to try to win you over?

Nali: Lol omg he just never went away he bothered me till I gave in lol im kidding nothin major he was always very good to me; did & said little things here & there that made me smile, he always took note on what I liked & surprised me with it from time to time, bought me simple little things like single roses, cards, a puppy (awww I miss my Jada) all those little things meant alot

UVB: Whats your guilty pleasure you cant live without?

Nali: JUNK FOOD!!!

UVB: Truth or dare? When it comes to sex, do you like to be in control or taken control of?

Nali: Ohhh mann!!! Taken control of lol please don’t tell me what to do just make me do it!!



UVB: You got a stunning body and build, do you hit the gym or is it all in the genes?

Nali: Gym? Whats that!! Lol well for the most part yes its in the genes but I also watch myself on what I eat & drink, I try to stay away from certain foods & I limit the amount of food I eat.

UVB : People tend to believe modeling is all about taking pics and getting published, but never really know the preparation and work put into it. Can you tell us some of the challenges you have come across?

Esaucey: Definitely a lot more than taking pictures and getting published. There's so much preparation for deciding on a concept. Then you have to work out the wardrobe and the hair and makeup. What color your nail polish should be etc. So many little things that you have to look into. There are shady photographers and businesses always trying to just get a picture of a pretty girl but don't really know what they're doing.

Esaucey: Multiple bottles of water. Water is delicious and refreshing. It also gives me nice skin and rehydrates me throughout my busy days.

UVB: When you not in front of the cameras working the set, what do you do?

UVB: Suppose i was trying to get your attention, what part of your body should i compliment the most?

Esaucey: I love my eyes. They're kind of slanted and are kind of an amber color. They're a little different but the feature I love the most.



UVB: Whats the most special thing a guy has done to try to win you over?

Esaucey: I had one day where I didn't have to do not one thing. He basically catered to my every move. I was showered with gifts and all that other good stuff. It was nice to relax and be appreciated. I didn't even need all of the extra stuff.

UVB: Truth or dare, which would you rather get down with a thug? nerd? or just a regular joe?

Esaucey: Decisions, decisions i may have to say thug, only because sometimes I like the man to be in control.

UVB: What features do you find attractive in a guy? What turns you on and off?

Esaucey: I love a mans smile, teeth and eyes. That's the first thing i look at. Oh and the shoes, They have to be clean. Turn offs: bad breath, ugly teeth, a bad haircut, and dirty shoes. Not much to it. lol.

UVB: What are your guilty pleasures you can't live without?

Esaucey: I love doughnuts @ 3am. Not to mention I just love to eat in general.



UVB: Is you single or taken? If taken how does your man handle the drama you get from modeling? If not how would react supposing you was dating someone who couldn't handle all that?

Esaucey: I am taken. He supports me in all that I do just as anyone should. And if u let the drama get to you it will if not handle it well and everything should be fine. I try not to surround myself with drama and i do it well.

UVB: Got an awesome body and killah curves, tell me do you hit the gym or is just the genes?

Esaucey: uhhhh.. lol. i'm horrible at going to the gym but once i'm there i love it. I do my own little routine at home to keep the stomach flat and the booty tight. Not to mention eating right and drinking lots of water take a big part in that.

UVB : Some athletes do breathing exercises before the big game, some people take a 5 hour energy drink before the meeting. How do you get ready for a big shoot? Is there a special ritual you have?

Esaucey: I don't do anything special but switch into Model mode. I just turn on the sexy. I'm really a goofy nerdy crazy person so when it comes to the shoot I have to turn some of that off and throw on the sexy.

UVB: Would you be opened to do playboy, hustler mag and penthouse pet nude style shoots?

Esaucey: I would only do PLAYBOY. Just because of the name and brand. I don't think I could turn down Hef



UVB: What projects have you been a part of? And what should your fans look out for this year?

Esaucey: I've done numerous shoots, fashion shows, clothing lines etc. The most recent was a feature in Ice cubes new video "You Know Me" look out for that.. I'm coming hard this year so be on the lookout...

EXCLUSIVE FEATURE WITH JOANNA AKA ENERGY

Urban Vixenz Blogzine features JOANNA AKA ENERGY. Energy is the life of the party at any scene, always bubbly with energy to inspire people around her. She is also a great help to young offenders giving them another chance to still achieve their dreams and gain qualifications. Energy have also made video appearances with a few of UK Finest Lil Beats, Wiley, J2K, Ice Kid, Wrigley, Ghetts, Scorcher, Bashy, Chipmunk, Griminal, Wretch 32; Mashtown and be on the look for her on a music video coming soon by Krept Tally and Konan feat Funky Dee. We caught up with this Persian Beauty and took a minute to ask her some questions...



UVB: Tell us about yourself? Where are you from originally? And what was it like growing up in your neighbourhood?

ENERGY: My name is Energy, I am from Beckenham which is just outside of London. My family background is Egyptian, Persian and Cypriot which has given me an exotic look and natural honey colour skin. The neighbourhood I grew up in is very quiet, most of the people were either 50 plus or families with young children. I suppose this made me come out of my shell and become Energy full of colour as well as being very lively. I would spend most of my time hanging out in Brixton where my grandparents live, I love the area as its consistently awake, full of fun and action.


UVB: What inspired you into modeling? How did you get started in the urban modeling industry?

ENERGY: I actually started off as an Actress due to studying Performing Arts and doing small theatre productions and television work here and there as acting is main ambition. One day I received a message on my Myspace around two and half years ago from a lovely artist/producer/director called Nikki Nitro she explained that she was shooting several videos for several artist and her own one and if I'd like to be featured in the video. I just thought why not as I love being in front of the camera. She then spoke to me about setting up a portfolio to get myself out there and let people know about me. From then on I suppose I've just fallen within the urban industry due to my look and curves. I would like to go into other fields such as Ink magazine's and the Punk/Rock field as I feel my look is very diverse.

UVB: How long have you been modeling? What has been your biggest eye opener so far since you came into the industry?

ENERGY: I have been modeling for two years now, I would say to be wary of people as there are alot of people in the industry that either like to put you down, lie or stab you in the back. To keep your head up and stay focused. Realising that commercial artist in the UK still don't like to use curvy girls or girls of colour, they are still using girls that are dress size between 0-small 12 that all look the same. Which I feel is no good they need to show the world that the UK has all different types of girls of all sizes and colours as we are all unique. That is why I love my hood artist out here they are always real and love girls like myself.




UVB: What was your first big break? What was the experience like?

ENERGY: I would say from being featured on The Streetz Incarcerated Vol 4 DVD people starting to recognise me even more. The DVD is basically a Hip Hop DVD goes behind the scenes of video sets, along with interviews with artists, and has videos on there too. The DVD had such artist on there such as 50 cent, Giggs, Wiley and many more. To be featured on this DVD in a music video people where I was the only female was an achievement for me as people started to notice me even more and know that I am serious in what I do. I started to get more video work from this which was good, but I also turned down alot of video work as I don't want to be known as a video girl.

UVB: Whats one thing you can't go through the day without?

ENERGY: My Blackberry, I'm always on there pinging away or tweeting. I actually feel lost without it, I know its sad. LOL

UVB: Lots of people thinks being a model is all glits and glams, and never know the work that is been put into it. Can you tell us some of your major challenges that you have come across?

ENERGY: I wouldn't say Ive come across any major challenges yet, I would like to though. The only downfall is doing photo shoots/video shoots in the freezing cold in little clothing, being there from anything for 2 hours up to 10, obviously with a break here and there but you end up not being able to feel your body after a while which is a horrible feeling. I did a shoot with a tarantula which I loved and luckily they do not scare me.



UVB: When you not in front of the cameras, lights and actions...what do you do?

ENERGY: I work with young offenders/excluded 15-16 year old in a pupil referral unit, which is a specialist school giving them another chance to still achieve and gain qualifications. I do Media with them, I love working and talking with them, seeing their out-take to society and helping the young people in succeeding in their education so they can further this within college. I also love spending time with my family, I'm a very homely person.

UVB: Whats the first impression/thing men or women compliment you for when you strutting your beautiful behind down the streets? What part of your body do men compliment the most?

ENERGY: I always get compliment on my eyes, I'm told they are dreamy. And my shape I'm always told that my body looks strong.

UVB: Suppose I was trying to get your attention, what part of your body should I compliment more?

ENERGY: Hhhmmm, that's a good question, I would say my bum as I actually want more and hate what I have. Would love my bum to be like Buffie the body.



UVB: Whats the most special thing that a guy has done to try to win you over?

ENERGY: One sweet guy from OC offered to fly me over and pay for all my expenses just so he could meet me, I didn't go through with it as I'm very wary of people. But that's the sweetest thing anyone has offered to do for me. Other then that I attract stingy men :(

UVB: Truth or dare, where's the most craziest place you have hooked up with a guy?

ENERGY: At the moment I can't even think of meeting anyone in a crazy place, I'm actually very shy and boring :( Don't let my looks fool you.

UVB: What features do you find attractive in a guy? What turns you on and off?

ENERGY: I find guys over 6ft tall who are dark skinned, slim and have hair a major turn on, oh and they have to have good teeth. That are doing something with themselves and have alot of respect for women. Turn off's are poor personal hygiene, and sit at home all day doing nothing.



UVB: What are your guilty pleasures you can't live without?

ENERGY: I can't live without chocolate, any is fine I have to have it several times a day

UVB: Are you single or taken? If taken how does your man handle the attention you get from modeling? And if not how would you react supposing you were with someone who couldn't deal with all that?

ENERGY: I am currently single, I've been single for nearly 5 months. If my partner couldn't deal with the fact that I do modeling, I would invite him to a shoot I was doing so he could see what is involved and show him that its part of my job. To sit and talk and hear his views. If he was still unhappy that I do it and he met me knowing that I do this, then I would have to end it as I am not changing he has to accept what I do.

UVB: You got some amazing measurements and curves in all the right places. Do you hit the gym? What do you do in the gym to sculpt your figure?

ENERGY: Thank you, I only go to the gym twice a week and mainly do the leg press machine and squats. To tone my upper body and stomach, I do pole dancing as a fitness not as a living. Its a great exercise to do, ladies should really give it a go.



UVB: Some athletes do breathing exercises before the big game, some people take a 5 hour energy drink before the meeting, how do you get ready for a big shoot? Is there a special ritual you have?

ENERGY: I make sure I don't eat any carbs, as this can bloat you and I hate looking bloated for a shoot, I always make sure I have alot of chocolate with me as the sugar gives me a buzz.

UVB: Word on the street is you gonna be presenting a new show on Sky Tv which would be aired in 2011. Can will get a few peeks of what the show is going to be about?

ENERGY: Finger's crossed hun.
Started filming for the show the last few months of 2010, its still under wraps and being edited, at the moment I can't really give anything away.

UVB: Wow you've been hitting big on the screens with video appearances on music videos such as Take a picture by Ashley Ft lil Beats, She like to by Wiley Ft J2k, Ice Kid, Wrigley, Ghetts, Scorcher, Bashy, Chipmunk, Griminal, Wretch 32; Between us by Mashtown Ft Wiley just to mention a few. Which of them did you find most entertaining? What was the experience like on and off set?

ENERGY: The "She likes to medley" was a great experience as so many well known UK artist were on the track, meeting them and mingling with the girls was also great. Everyone was so friendly which sometimes is rare at a shoot as you usually get one or two bitches. On set of this shoot it was very professional and the director knew what he wanted, this is always handy as time didn't drag on as much.
The most entertaining one was "The Between Us" shoot, as alot of negative things happened which ended with the shoot ending early, due to stupidness occurring, girls as young as 16 was there which I find disgusting as they shouldn't be doing this kind of work so young especially when they look 14.



UVB: What other projects have you been a part of?

ENERGY: Was featured in Zen Magazine which is an African Magazine as one of the top 10 hottest models from Africa. This was such a great achievement for me as I want to be world wide and known. The most recent video shoot I done was for Krept Tally and Konan feat Funky Dee which should be out soon, was one of the best videos shoots I have done very professional, fun and the girls were all lovely.

UVB: Would you be open to do shoots for Playboy or Penthouse pets?

ENERGY: I would love to have a spread in Playboy as I've loved that magazine and Hugh Heffner from a teenager and would also love the opportunity to be in King and Ink Magazine.

UVB: What should your fans be expecting in 2011?

ENERGY: Alot more raunchier shoots, hopefully more editorial work and defiantly more television work

UVB: Where can you be found online

EXCLUSIVE FEATURE WITH VERONICA LAVERY

Hi folks, today we are featuring Veronica Lavery. This beautiful model is from czech republic and now lives in So Cal, has been modeling in American since 2009. Her pictures are not short from hot!!! We just couldn't resist tracking her down for a few questions, and here is what she had to say...



UVB: Tell us about yourself? Where are you from originally? And what was it like growing up in your neighborhood?

Veronica: I'm originally from the Czech Republic, from a small town in the mountains called Vrchlabí :), where everyone knew everything about everyone :D

UVB: Have you always wanted to be a model? What inspired you into modeling? And how did you get started in the urban modeling industry?

Veronica: I'd never thought about being a model. Before, I thought that all models had to be at least 5'10", very skinny, all natural looking 24/7, with unique facial features. I didn't see any other variations in modeling, I didn't know models could be of different sizes and heights, so I'd never seen myself as potential model material. But I got some offers to do photo shoots in 2009, and I like trying new things so I said yes, and after people saw my photos online, I started getting more and more offers, which after a couple months created a whole modeling portfolio :))

UVB: How long have you been modeling? What has been your biggest eye opener so far since you came into the industry?

Veronica: I started modeling in summer 2009. So even though this is still the time when I can put my pink glasses on and see everything as a naive inexperienced person, I think I've learned a lot since I first stood in front of the camera and all the scamming that's going on on the internet these days has helped me get to know this business even more.

UVB: Whats one thing you can't go through the day without?

Veronica: breakfast :))

UVB: Majority of people see modeling as just taking a couple of shoots and getting
published, and never really know the work that is been put into it. Can you tell us some challenges that you have come across?

Veronica: I think that finding myself was the biggest challenge. I started modeling as an alternative looking model with two toned hair, piercings, tattoos but after a year I decided to go more with the fashion modeling flow. Although I wasn't sure if that was going to work because of my silly tattoos. But it's still ok …so far :))



UVB: When you not in front of the cameras, lights and actions...what do you do?

Veronica: I get bored very easily so I'm trying to keep myself busy. Traveling, exploring, exercising, animals, music, and my boyfriend and family keep me sane :D

UVB: Whats the first impression/thing men or women compliment you for when you strutting your beautiful behind down the streets? What part of your body do men compliment the most?

Veronica: pl on the streets compliment usually my whole body and stare at my face at the same time which is funny :)) but I think my butt and boobs get the most compliments, as well as my bright blue eyes and dimples :D

UVB: Suppose i was trying to get your attention, what part of your body should i compliment more?

Veronica: Every compliment is fine with me if you're being honest ;)

UVB: Whats the most special thing that a guy has done to try to win you over?

Veronica: I think helping me with my homework and helping me write long boring essays for my science classes was the most special and extraordinary thing that guy has done for me :D, everything else seems pretty usual and expectable to me when I think about it :D

UVB: What features do you find attractive in a guy? What turns you on and off?

Veronica: I'm more about the chemistry between us than a certain physical appearance. Guy's great personality, big heart and sense of humor can turn me on maybe more than a perfect body of a black basketball player :D



UVB: Truth or dare? Which would you rather get down with a thug? Nerd? Or just a regular Joe?

Veronica: Depending on the charisma they have, nerds are cute as well as regular Joe's sense of humor :D the best is probably a smart combo of both :D

UVB: When you're in a relationship do you tend to be more aggressive or passive?

Veronica: Hmmm, good question :D

UVB: Are you single or taken? If taken how does your man handle the attention you get from modeling? And if not how would you react supposing you were with someone who couldn't deal with all that?

Veronica: I've dated guys in the past who were not ok with what I was doing, so it didn't work out. I'm happily taken now finally by someone who is being supportive and helpful, jealousy free and respectful. Hopefully this all will last :))

UVB: What are your guilty pleasures you can't live without?

Veronica: All things sweet :))

UVB: sh you have an amazing physique, anybody ever told you that? I bet tons of people have. Is Polish, Slovak and Irish just the perfect mixture of genes or do you hit the gym to main your figure?

Veronica: haha :D thanks :), it hasn't always been like that though. But I'm not even going to the gym, I tried it maybe 6months ago for a month or so, but
didn't like it at all.I work out at home, and it's great. But I'd like to start running and do more cardio than I do now. My equipment and space is starting to feel very limited :D



UVB: Some athletes do breathing exercises before the big game, some people take a 5 hour energy drink before the meeting? How do you get ready for a big shoot? Is there a special ritual you have?

Veronica: Not really.. I sometimes watch what I eat a day or two before a shoot, but other than that nothing, lol

UVB: Would you be open to do shoots for Playboy, Kings Mag, XXL or penthouse Pets?

Veronica: I'm ok with playboy style nudity, no penthouse or hustler style though.

UVB: What projects have you been a part of? And what projects should your fans look for this year?

Veronica: I will have my website up very soon. It should include a Lil' store with some products of me, personal blog, videos… I'll be also moving to So Cal which should give me more opportunities for acting and hosting shows than I've had till now in Northern Cali. So I think this is gonna be good :)

UVB: Where can your fans and readers find you online?

Veronica: My Facebook fan Page called VeroniCA LAvery has the latest updates along with these links below:

Eventually Pink N Black progressed, so PR and management so i could support and showcase these talents to everyone i spent 2010 working on the PR/Management side of things and now work with a large selection of people from different sides of the industry. Everyday my clients and the talents around me inspire me to do better and keep striving for more.

UVB: How long have you been doing this?

Katie: I started Pink N Black Entertainment in January 2009 so two years and the PR side of things for a year.

UVB: When your not organizing events or scheduling appointments...what do you do?

Katie: I tweet loool i do a range of different things on a daily basis, design work for my clients, press packs, promotions, website updates, client development, photo-shoot, press release, research, meetings and if you could see my email inbox i send and receive 100s of emails daily its a never ending list i work 24/7 unless i am sleeping i am working on something for Pink N Black and my clients. I also have to tweet from a lot of different pages on behalf of my clients because of the range of clientele i have to network and contact people from all over the industry and keep on top of a variety of different things it can be hard at times but also its great fun.

UVB: Are you single or taken?

Katie: I am single :-)

UVB: What are your guilty pleasures you cant live without?

Katie: To be honest i couldnt live without Redbull or my blackberry its glued to me always.



UVB: Truth or dare? What are your wildest fantasies?

Katie: LOOOL I want a dare ;-) erm it involves 50cent loool.

UVB: People could easily mistake event promotions and talent management as a two way street, where all you do is just make contacts and schedule appointments. And never really know the work put into it. Can you tell us some of the challenges you have come across?

Katie: I wished it was that easy! I come across new challenges everyday my biggest challenge is time and having enough of it but also i am selling or showcasing a product or brand its hard to get people to believe in that the same way i do and when you get a lot of no's or no answer at all it can really get you down so i have to keep the moral levels high for myself and clients. Amongst that you always have people that have something negative to say about what your doing so i have to face that head on. I am irish so my temperament is very low and sometimes i have to hold it in so i dont look unprofessional. I am very organized though which is key to overcome some challenges. I email myself a to do list daily and i work to get it done which helps.

UVB: When was Pink N Black entertainment born? What is Pink N Black all about?

Katie: Pink N Black entertainment was born on 6th of January 2009 its a UK based entertainment company that covers PR management/ Business PR/ Model Management/ Artist management/ DJ Management/ Booking agents/ Events co-ordination/ Events Promotions/ Designs - currently we work with a selection of different people/companies across the industry.

UVB: I would say 2010 was great for Team Pink N Black, Sasha Shantel getting endorsements from Baby Phat clothing & Applebottoms, Salena Lima getting published on the issue 5 release of Candy Mag UK and Nuts magazine. Can you tell us your goal for this year?

Katie: 2010 was a strange year for Pink N Black and a hard one. Amazingly i only started working with both Salena Lima and Sasha Shantel at the end of the year and the achievements and progress of both models is amazing - Whats coming so much is coming from Pink N Black and these two models both have websites launching in the next coming months alot of photo-shoots and we are working on different projects for both models i dont want to say too much ;-) but recently Sasha got another Sponsporship with Sleek Hair which is fantastic :-D. Also i have a new monthly event called Team UK Talents and a new model competition starting at the end of February called UK Model Unsigned which is replacing facebook model competition. Expect alot to come out from all my clients in 2011 we are working on some amazing projects with amazing clients its really exciting at the moment. My main goal for the year is to ensure that everyone i work with succeeds in what they want to do and ensure that Pink N Black Ent keeps expanding. Also its time to go to america and work over there thats in the pipelines too/ i want to visit there at least 3 times this year for work reasons.

UVB: I heard alot of buzz about the facebook model competition 2010 and how awesome it was. Am betting Team UK Talent coming up Jan, 31st would be even more electrifying. Can you give us a little sneak peek of what its gonna be like?

Katie: Team UK talents is going to be amazing the first showcase has a massive amount of talent showcasing themselves; i am very excited for this event on a whole as its about supporting all great talents in the UK its had a massive amount of interest considering its the first event - You can expect some amazing live music from 17 different artists all different genres, clothing stalls, comedians and we even have someone coming down to do nails / its hosted by Miss London who is a successful comedian in the UK and presents for a major childrens channel so expect a lot of laughter its going to be a crossed networking event so hopefully everyone involved and that comes down will make a lot of contacts and have a great night :-D. The event is sponspored by an online magazine in-spireLS magazine which is fitting as its a magazine based on positivity and they interview and feature some fantastic talents in their wonder women and supermen sections http://inspireLSmagazine.co.uk

Jurise is a clothing designer, she started out with making crochet bikinis for models and photographers to use. Her styles are original, fun, outgoing and flirtatious; its a mix of American girly and flirty and European womanly and sophisticated sexiness. Jurise is currently the C.E.O of Piret Collections consisting of bikinis and swimwear, she is currently venturing into the fabric business side of it. Jurise's designs have been featured in Girls of Lowrider, open your eyes (cover), the scene (cover) and a few 2011 calendars for her fabric collection and featured in Bikini Destination (TV show). We caught up with her and had some Q&A session with her and here is what she had to say....



UVB: Tell us a little about you? And your passion for fashion?

Piret: I’m originally from Estonia. Have been living in Naples Florida now for about 5 years. Fashion design has been part of my life forever. I think it’s genetic -one of my aunts is a costume designer for movies in Russia. A lot of my family members are artistic.

UVB: Are you a self taught clothing designer?

Piret: I would say semi self taught. In Estonian high schools it is mandatory in homestead classes to learn sewing, crochet and knitting. That’s where I got my first skills. I was participating in all kind of craft groups. And after high school I went to industry school to learn sewing. When I was in high school I designed a lot of my clothes, and my friend’s grandmother sew them for me.Last two years I taught myself all the business side of fashion and retail. Reading all the books about it. A lot of it you have to experience to learn.

UVB: When did you realize you wanted to become a clothing designer?

Piret: I have been designing since i remember myself. I have always wanted to become a clothing designer, I don’t even remember from what age.When I was about ten years old, I was making paper dolls for neighborhood kids- the doll with ten clothing items was a dollar and any additional clothing was ten cents a piece. Made some pocket money. I made my first bikini when I was sixteen.

UVB: How long have you worked as a designer?

Piret: Officially just a year. I consider myself a beginner. I view designing and working as a designer completely separate- I have been designing all my life, but working as a designer it's just my second year.



UVB: What do you do when you're not creating clothing?

Piret: Enjoying life!

UVB: Who is/are your favorite designer(s) you admire most and why?

Piret: Diane Von Furstenberg , Vivienne Westwood, Betsey Johnson, Coco Chanel- mostly because there is unique personality behind their designs. From bikini designers- Ashley Paige, for the same reason. There is a lot of good designers all over the world. It keep’s the industry interesting that there is so many different styles.

UVB: What got you into Swimwear design?

Piret: Living in Florida, love of summer and sunshine. I could easily wear a bikini 24/7.


UVB: What inspires you? Where do you get your design inspirations from?

Piret: From everything and everywhere. Lot of times I daydream my designs. It may be some item that i see- a flower, furniture, building. It could be a person, and I will try to imagine something that would flatter her personally. Or it can be just fabric that I like. World is full of inspiration.

UVB: How long does it usually take you to construct a piece?

Piret: It all depends on the design and material. Crochet designs, if it's a new design that I’m working on, not less than five days. Some designs stay on the paper for few years, before I feel that its time to make them.



UVB: What matters to you most when constructing a piece?

Piret: That it would flatter the body of the person who would be wearing it.


UVB: What’s your favorite part about conceptualizing a design?

Piret: Seeing the final garment on person.


UVB: Tell us more about Piret Collection? How would you describe your own work and aesthetic?

Piret:My designs are for women and girls who want to stand out, who want everyone’s eyes on them. Vain people. If you wearing a bikini that is flattering for you body, you feel confident, and confident is sexy!

UVB: Who is one of your favorite models you have worked with?

Piret: The model I have worked most with is Michelle Baker. Her body is amazing- she is keeping fit with yoga and running. We first met when she contacted me to use my suits in HGTV show Bikini Destinations.

UVB: Which models would you love wearing your designs? How do you select your models?

Piret: I want all the girls to wear my designs. I choose my models not just by the look, but also by personality, If the girl is not nice to work with, I’m not going to bother either. Different designs require different models.



UVB: What are your most memorable career highlights?

Pirets:I think most of it is still ahead, there is few projects that I’m working on for next year. I think next year is going to be a breakthrough for me.

UVB: What projects are you currently working on?

Piret: I’m making a full fabric collection, that I want to present in the beginning of next year. I’m doing collaboration with few magazines.

UVB: What does it take to be successful in this industry? What are your advice for up and coming clothing designers?

Piret: Not to give up. Surround yourself with industry people. To break through you have to learn a business side of the fashion industry as well. Get the design from imagination to the store for the customer is a long process. If you young, it is definitely worth to go to designs school. If you want to be self taught- I would suggest you read a lot of industry books as well.

UVB: Where can the readers buy your clothes? And where can you be found online?

Piret: Right now just online on my site (http://piretcollection.com). Next year I’m starting to look for stores to present my
collection as well. That would be already a fabric collection. You can also find me on my facebook and twitter.

UVB: Final word to fans?

Piret: -Nr one bikini rule- WEAR SUNSCREEN!!! Once you ruin your skin with sunburn, it will be really hard to heal it.

We caught up with Caitlin and went in on some Q&A with her, read more to see what makes this model so special...



UVB: How did you come about modeling?

Caitlin: I started modeling when i was 16 years old for different catalogs. It was fun hobby and i got free clothing so i loved it.

UVB: How long have you been modeling?

Caitlin: For 10 years.

UVB: What has been the biggest eye opener about modeling you have learned since you got into the industry?

Caitlin: Mostly how many girls will do anything to get into modeling. So many people will try and exploit girls who never had a chance to start with. It's really sad .

UVB: Tell us a little about your gogo dancing career?

Caitlin: I love to dance, i have been dancing since i was 17. Its a great hobby and keeps me in great shape.

UVB: How do you cope with gogo dancing and modeling? Ever had a day when both schedules clashed against each other?

Caitlin: My schedule has never clashed, gogo dancing is done from 10 pm on and modeling is usually in early daytime.



UVB: Who is the most favorite person you worked with?

Caitlin: My favorite person that i have worked with has been my gogo partner in crime Lauren Manual. She has a great energy about her and keeps me pumped up.

UVB: Whats one thing you couldn't go through the day without?

Caitlin: My cell phone! Ahh i feel lost without it.

UVB: What's your typical day like? And what do you do in your spare time?

Caitlin: A typical day is work for me. I usually have a modeling gig during the day, and then i head off to my dance studio. I own a womens dance and fitness studio called HIDDEN TALENTS, located in Huntington beach, CA. After teaching some pole dance or burlesque classes i often am booked at night at the night club to gogo dance. When i do get a day off i lay in bed all day :)

UVB: How would you describe your looks?

Caitlin: I think i am the girl next door type for sure.

UVB: What are your turn ons and turn offs?

Caitlin: Bad breathe, bad odour is a huge turn off. Also cocky attitudes and tattoos. Turn ons are definately a level head, business mind, and a matter of mellow personality.



UVB: Are you single or taken, if taken how does your man handle the attention you receive from modeling? And if not how would you react supposing you were dating someone who couldn't deal with all that?

Caitlin: I am taken by a great guy who understands the business very well.

UVB: Bedroom turn ons? Any juicy details you had like to share?

Caitlin: Hmmmm....i don't kiss and tell :)

UVB: Lol, could you possibly be with someone who can take care of you financially but not sexually?

Caitlin: Neither of those are as important to me as emotionally. I have plenty of money so that's not a worry. Someone being there and being supportive is a far bigger thing in my book.

UVB: Does size matter or is the stroke better?

Caitlin: Hahaha size doesn't matter, its how you work what you got!

UVB: What's your opinion about artistic and implied nude? Kinky or scratch off my to do list?

Caitlin: I think the human body is art, and anything done tastefully is amazing.

UVB: What genre(s) of modeling appeal to you most?

Caitlin: Mostly glamour, considering i am short i would never be a fashion model.

UVB: What has been your best and worst experience so far in your modeling career and gogo dancing?

Caitlin: The best experience gogo dancing is probably all of the big concerts i have done and the friends i have made. The worst is when i gogo dance at 18 and older clubs and get dirty looks from young girls who don't get it. Just because i am dancing in a bikini on a box does NOT mean i am after your man lol.

UVB: What has been your favorite highlights in your modeling career?

Caitlin: Working with Bret Michaels. We did a rad shoot on a chopper.

UVB: What projects are you currently working on?

Caitlin: Right now i am booked solid for the next 2 months on all types of random tv and modeling gigs. Also my dance studio is expanding soon so i will be busy with that as well!

UVB: What to expect from you in the future?

Caitlin: Only amazing things :)
