Fox of the Week (1/27/10): SoCal Glamour Girl Honey

Honey is an 18-year-old half-Filipina model with SoCal Glamour Girls. She discusses her best feature, models she admires, and her dream photoshoot location.

How did you get started modeling?

I started runway modeling with my twin sister back when I was very young. Now that I've turned 18, I kind of want to do my own thing. So I started a little go-go dancing and started building my modeling portfolio doing photoshoots. Now I'm here with SoCal Glamour Girls and I love it!

What would you say is your best feature?

I could say my butt, or lips, or something outrageously sexy, but I actually have to go with my eyes. I love them and I think that's what gives me my exotic look!

Who are some models you admire? Why?

I love me some Naomi Campbell and Chanel Iman. They are both black/Asian, super sexy, and super successful! They both had this fire burning to be the best and now like a wildfire, they are unstoppable! I also look up to them cause it's hard for multiracial people to get somewhere in life, especially to be successful. So it's kind of like, when one makes it...I feel like I did too in a way!

What is your dream location for a photoshoot? Why?

I've done shoots in living rooms, outside with tuners, on farms, in studios. But I would really like to do it at the beach, and not just any beach but in the Philippines! I'm half Filipina and it's sad how my mom's family never had a chance to really see how beautiful me and my twin have gotten to be. So if I could do a shoot out there on the beach with a few Filipinos in the background with the Philippine flag, that'll be amazing!

You say you like funny guys. What can a guy do to make you laugh?

That's a really good question, mainly cause I laugh at everything! I would like to find a charming, but CLUMSY guy. I'm probably the clumsiest model you've ever seen, so for once instead of a boy laughing at me, it'll be nice to laugh a little at someone else.

What is one goal you want to accomplish?

I don't really want to be rich, but I'd love to be known nationally for something good. Maybe combining fashion and music for a charitable cause.

Fox of the Week (2/3/10): Emanon

Emanon is a model from Chicago who has appeared in television shows and films. She discusses how she got started, her best feature, and models she admires.

How did you get started modeling?

Plus Modeling is an area that has gone unrecognized for a while, but the light is shining brighter each season. I entered a PP pageant in 2005 on a dare. Once I arrived to the competition, I quickly learned that the first P in PP meant Petite (I'm 6'0") so needless to say I was disqualified from the pageant but allowed to participate in the other part of the competition. I won "Most Photogenic" and it kind of started me on my journey.

What would you say is your best feature? Why?
I love Me! (laughs) My face because people always tell me "your skin is flawless, I would kill for your skin" So I hope to one day represent a makeup or skin care line. I take good care of my face I keep in it looking "flawless" by drinking lots of water, wearing sunscreen year round and I NEVER sleep in make-up not even for a nap.

How do people underestimate or misjudge you?
I have a passion for LIFE so I tend to act silly and just live in the moment so some people may underestimate my ability or my professionalism and sleep on what I could bring to the table. Ultimately they miss out.

You have appeared in some films. Who is one person in film you would love to work with? Why?

I have always been an extra in the movies, I would love to work with any powerful producers that are willing to give me a chance with a speaking part. (laughs)

Who are some models you admire?

I love Tyra, Naomi, Iman, and Twiggy, but I admire the girls who look like me: Mia Ambers, Marquita Pring and all the models that represented in the Glamour and V magazine size issues. I hope to see many more including myself.

What is one goal you feel you must accomplish?

There are so many things that have not been done in the Plus world, I just hope to be a part of the ride. We will see!
