Everyone has a different body shape, so you kind of have to figure out not only what works best for your body type, but what also makes you feel confident. Even if everyone thinks you look good in a bikini, and you don't feel good in it, you're not going to be at your best. If you feel great in a bikini, you can always work it.
The bigger fan base you have, the more companies will be attracted to you. And having a following, you can be so much more involved being a representative with the brand you're working with.
It's good to know how to be sexy, but something I'm still trying to work on is learning how to not be sexy, because that's an important part of growing as a model.
I started modeling when I was about 2 or 3 years old; I started with Baby Guess, and I did Guess Kids, and that was the extent of my modeling career as a kid. I took all of my elementary, middle and high school years off to focus on school and sports.
When I was 11, I made truffle risotto for my family for Christmas dinner.
I personally think my sister is so stunning without makeup. And she doesn't wear that much makeup because she has the best skin color.
I grew up on the beach, so I'm really comfortable in a bathing suit, playing volleyball, running around.
I box every day when I'm in New York.
Even if I have no other makeup on, I always want a nude lip, and if I'm going to do a bright, I want it to be matte.
Boxing has been great for me because it's, like, my new sport, so it's something that I can get better at.
A camel is a very awkward animal to ride, and it's very hard to get used to because they're not very graceful.
I pay attention to how every makeup artist does everything.
Once you just tell yourself, 'OK, I'm going to have a breakdown right now, and I'm going to cry for an hour, put my phone away. I'm going to go swimming, and then I'm gonna make my family dinner and lay on the couch and watch 'Ru Paul's Drag Race,'' once you accept that it's not the day and you can just have a breakdown, you're over it.
My thighs were huge; they were like rock! Growing up, I was really athletic, and I had a very athletic body.
