PIM: Sam, Sam.You are truely Poetry in Motion. Pim was blessed to meet you in exclusive one on one. I must say Top 10 for FHM 2009 is truly blessed to have you there, and so is PIM. First things first. A stunning Beautician & Horse Rider in the world of modeling. How did the journey begin. Where have your exploits taken you..... Tell Tell? What are some of your major achievements?
sam: Well, lets see… I started modeling at the age of 17 in Cape Town. I lived there for a few years, where I did matric and then studied. During school and college I found it very difficult to go to casting, shoots etc, so I didn’t really put my all into it at that stage. When I moved back to JHB I got back into it and joined Star Models, having my own business definitely makes it easier to model as my time is flexible! One of my biggest achievements was opening my salon back in 2007. I decided one day that I wanted my own thing, took the plunge and have been very happy ever since!
PIM: You have made TOP 10 for FHM Models? Was a tough draw. Were you excited when you got the news? Oh and please tell us more about the TOP 10 Journey(Behind the scenes sort of lol)?What lies in wait for a top 10 contestant? Any interesting shoots?
sam: Yes I am very chuffed to be in the top 10! At first when you make it to the top 100, top 10 feel s very out of reach. The day the top 10 was announced the competition was on! Now is when we all start putting our all in to winning this competition. The journey has been great, I had the opportunity to meet the other 9 girls at the official shoot for the magazine, which is out on Jan 28th! They are all lovely and we all got on great! But at the end of the day… we are in a competition :)
P.I.M: Sam...anything youd like to say.A message for our readers to entice them to vote for you?
