Model of the month: April 2014: Alicia Morris

• Name: Alicia Morris
• Age: 21
• Location: Easton, Pennsylvannia, USA
• Q: how did you get into modeling?
• A: I did a fashion show when I was about 6 or 7 and I really enjoyed it, though I didn't stick with it when I started then once I hit about 18 I was at the point in my life where my confidence was so low and I thought maybe if I did go back to modeling and stick with it that maybe I'll feel better about myself and I could get out of my shell a bit more too. I am a slightly shy person and I think doing modeling helped with both the shyness and the confidence.

• • Q: who was your role model as a child and how did that help in being a model? A: I have a lot of role models, though it is embarrassing to name some of them. I love Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Ariel from The Little mermaid, Britney Spears, The Spice Girls, Sheri Moon-Zombie, Shannon Tweed, Shirley Manson, Karen Gillian, Amber Heard, Twiggy, P!nk, Exc... The list is really long, anyway they all helped me in modeling by proving no matter what you do, do it for yourself and not for anyone else.
  • Q: other than looking sexy in front of the camera, what else do you enjoy doing? A: Photography, Playing video games, watching movies, hanging out with friends, I am basically your typical girl next door and I am a very artistic person.
  • Q: if you were not a model, what other profession would you have been doing instead? A: I have no clue, I would have liked to get into directing and producing movies. Maybe even fashion design.
  • Q:How old were you when you found an interest in modeling and what made you want to start?
  • A: Just always something I wanted to do, but the trick was focusing and staying on top of doing what I want.

    • Q: Where is your favorite place to shop? A: H&M, Hot Topic, I usually shop thrift stores and find inspiration from there, plus I get a lot of hand me downs from friends and family.
    • Q: what is your favorite beauty product?
    • A: I like eyeliner and mascara, I don't have any certain brand. Basically anything that will make my eyes pop is what I want.
    • Q: where was your favorite shoot so far?
    • A: I've had a lot, my most recent one with Sweet Shot Studio is perhaps one of the most memerable ones since I don't see myself as a "Sexy" woman and that was kind of the point of the shoot. Kind of hard to get out of the comfort zone.
    • • Q: what would you like to accomplish as a model? A: I would like to inspire others and promote healthy models, I also want to prove to other young girls out there that you don't have to take your clothes off to be a model or get anywhere with it and although I did do a mermaid shoot and was wearing sea shells on my boobs, I'd like to say that usually mermaids are nude. I have done some lingerie recently too and that is mostly because I am not a young girl I am an adult and it is a good thing not to stick with one genre of modeling. Please love yourself and I know how easy it is to say rather then do, but seriously if you don't love yourself then it is harder for other people to love you.
      • Q: what advice would you give to a young girl who wants to pursue a modeling career? A: Go with your gut, know what you want to accomplish. Stick to your morals, always have an escort. Be yourself, be positive and always have fun.
