Fox of the Week (7/28/10): Chi Chi Bonita

Chi Chi Bonita is a model who was born in Germany and lives in Charlotte. She discusses a perfect evening, the challenges of modeling, and the modeling job she would never decline.


Complete the sentence. Chi Chi Bonita is...

Determined to be great, don’t be jealous, embrace her! (laughs)

Thong, boyshorts, other or none?

None, I really don’t like underwear, my friends hate it when I walk around them naked. (Author's note: Ummm...really? Why?)

Describe your idea of a sexy (day or) evening.

My idea of a sexy evening would be started off by cooking dinner together with my significant other. Then we would sit at a candlelit table and just talk until our food was finished. Next, we watch a funny movie and just hold each other while finishing dessert. Then maybe we make some magic. (laughs)

Describe how you felt at your first photo shoot.

At my first photo shoot I was pretty scared because I didn’t know what to expect but once that camera started clicking I knew this was it. I found my niche and I just went with the flow letting everything come natural.

What is the most challenging thing about modeling?

The most challenging thing about modeling is the prejudices you have to deal with. Everyone thinks that they know what type of female you are just because of the pictures you take. It’s very hard to make a name for yourself in this business so you have to make sure you are doing things to set yourself apart from the wannabes.

Who are some models you admire? Why?

I admire any and all models that are doing things right in the business. I feel like any woman who is modeling and still living by her morals and beliefs is a rarity nowadays so I salute them!

What is the one modeling gig you would not turn down?

Playboy!

Brooklyn is a model from Dublin, California. She discusses her best feature, a common misconception about her, and what she hopes to accomplish in her modeling career.

What has been your favorite modeling job?

My favorite modeling job so far was the bio video for Vida Guerra. It was so much fun it was basically a pool party with tons of other models, food, drinks, free tattoo and airbrush artist, music, and cameras everywhere. I could live like that on a daily basis.

What would you say is your best feature?

I would say my best feature are my eyes. They are perfect almond shape.

I have been featured in online magazines sucy as Slippery Girl, WWS and several others. In print I have been featured as cover girl for HS magazine (Now Damn Girl Mag), Jet mag and several others. For a complete list please check my website for my resume.

What can a good photographer contribute to a photo shoot?

A good photographer can contribute to a shoot by being professional, making the model feel comfortable, being excited, and being energetic.

What is a common misconception people have about you?

The most common misconception that people have about me is that I am unapproachable. I hear all the time after a person speaks to me "you are so nice and funny I didn't think you would be so much fun."

If you could do a photo shoot anywhere, what location would you choose?

If I could shoot anywhere I would shoot in a safari in Africa at dusk surrounded by giraffes and tigers and I am in all white. I think this would be a great shot because I love Tigers and in Africa you wear white to celebrate death and I would like to do it as a tribute to my ancestors.

What is one goal you feel you must accomplish in your career?

One goal I must accomplish while I am modeling is to one day do it full time.
