LIZANDI WOEST

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul."
~ George Sand~

PIM: Hi Lizandi. Thank you for gracing PIM. So you from JHB. Tell us more about your yourself and your modelling journey thus far.?

lizandi: My pleasure.. Well, I am from JHB, but I am a full time law student at the North West University in Potchefstroom. I finished my BComm Law degree last year and is currently busy with my LLB degree. I started my modeling career at the age of 6 and just fell completely inlove with it. I started only doing beauty pageants and ramp modeling at firts untill about two years ago when I was chosen to do a model calendar in Mauritius. After that I just loved being infront of the camera, its my favourite place in the world. Haha!

PIM: PIM Met you at a few FHM MODEL 2009 PARTIES. How was the competition and journey? lizandi: The FHM Models comp was great, I just loved every moment of it. It was lots of fun but hard work at the same time. I had to work really hard to get votes and make it to the Top 10, wich was amazing! I learned alot from all of it and it was a really awesome experience. I also made some great new friends along the way and met some really stunning people, so thank you so much to everyone who voted for me and supported me!

PIM:What have you been doing since FHM Models?

lizandi: Well apart from being really busy with my studies , I have been working on some new photoshoots, but I can't say to much about that right now. I have also been entering alot of competitions and working on chasing my dream. But most of the time I am just being a student

PIM: What’s a day in the life of Lizandi. How do you pay the Bills?

lizandi: Haha, well because I am a full time student, at the moment my parents still pay my bills, lucky me! Otherwise, a day in the life of Lizandi is really just normal. I get up every morning, go to class, study ALOT, and hang out with my friends. Oh the life of a student!!

PIM:PIM is honored to have you! Your ambitions and goals as a model? Where do you see yourself in ten years time? Did you ever think you'd be doing this(modeling)?

lizandi: My dream is to be a great photographic model. I would love to work with FHM and other magazines again in the future, but at the same time I also have so many other dreams. I am a law student and I love my studies. I also dream of being a great laywer one day. In ten years I see myself done with my articles and making a great success of my life. Being a model/laywer or even maybe running my own modeling agency. Yes, I did, because I have been doing it for so many years, modeling has become a big part of my life.

PIM: What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?

lizandi: Modeling has really helped with my confedence and the best part about modeling for me is that every new experience is a challenge where you have to give your absolute best and work really hard, but when succeed its the best feeling in the world. I love chalenging myself, there is always space for improvement. The bad part of modeling for me is the bad comments and negative criticism. When you are a model you learn to deal with it, but sometimes it can be really hard. People can be really mean.

PIM: What are your Health and beauty secrets Lizandi? Any tips for our readers? How do you stay in Shape?

lizandi: It isn't really a secret, I follow a healthy diet. No junk food and alot of water. Exercising includes earobix or just going for a run around the block. Eating right and sleeping right is my two secret weapons.PIM: Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme ? Paris, France, I would love to do a shoot with the Eifeltower in the background.

PIM: Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and a guys?

lizandi: Well the sexiest part of my body for me would have to be my eyes, the eyes are such a powerfull weapon, haha! The sexiest part of a guy has to be his tummy, I am a sucker for a great sixpack.

PIM: What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on You?.

lizandi: Oh this is quit embarrasing. A guy once told me that I looked like a girl he saw in a great porn movie.

CARLA GALINOS

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness.
-JOHN KEATS, Endymion

PIM: Hi Carla Thank you for gracing PIM. So you from JHB. Tell us more about your yourself amd your modelling journey thus far.?
carla: Hi, Thank you for including me as one of the PIM Babes.
I’m a very confident individual, although I believe I have my faults, like everyone does, I have never let them destroy my confidence. I believe that our little faults and quirks make us unique. I’m always friendly to just about everyone I meet…lol…which has caused some to label me as a flirt. I wouldn’t say I’m too flirtatious though. I’m very loyal to those I love and consider friends. I’m spontaneous and free spirited. Love the occasional wild outing. I’m movie crazy…I don’t go a single weekend without watching at least one at the cinema. I talk way too much…lol. I love to laugh, it uplifts the soul.
Modelling is at the top of just about every list I have. Although I haven’t yet broken into the industry like I would have liked to, I still enjoy working at it. I’m completely addicted to having my photo’s taken…lol….and I love that I’m able to add some of my own creative sparkle to my work. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with some truly talented photographers and thanks to them have gained valuable experience as a model.

PIM: What are some of the accolades that you have achieved thus far in your career?Highs and the lows?
carla: I am still climbing that corporate ladder at the moment, so although I have been promoted here and there and been given heaps of responsibility I believe I still have a long way to go.
With regards to my modelling, I have not won any competitions however I have taken part in some and they are as follows:
Pageants:
2002 Miss Damelin 2nd place
2004 Miss SA Beauty Photography Finalist
2005 New Face Finalist
2006 New World Model of the year 2nd place
2009 Miss H2O Top 20 Finalist
Publication/competitions:
2005 Fashionista Magazine - swimwear Catalogue
2005 Speed & Sound Bonnet Babes
2008 Zoo weekly Girl next door
2008 FHM Sports babe

PIM: What’s a day in the life of carla. How do you pay the Bills?
carla: I’m an Electronic Banking Administrator for The South African Bank of Athens. It’s a very demanding job which is a good thing as I’m one of those people who get bored very quickly and I need to be challenged constantly. Not the glam job I would like but it pays the bills. ;)

PIM:PIM is honored to have you! Your ambitions and goals as a model? Where do you see yourself in ten years time? Did you ever think you'd be doing this(modeling)?
carla: I am a photographic model as I do not have the height to do ramp modelling. I would like to find my way into modelling publications as this is where I shine.
I was always into modelling as far back as I can remember, however I never thought I would get the opportunity’s I have had. I’ve been rather lucky.

PIM: What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
carla: What I like most about modelling is that it builds self confidence. You learn to take constructive crit and at the same time you learn to let go of the needless nastiness that comes with putting yourself out there.
The thing I like least about modelling would have to be the stereo types that people link to the industry.

PIM: What are your Health and beauty secrets Carla? Any tips for our readers? How do you stay in Shape?
carla: My health and beauty tips….hmmmm…I’m not over the top when it comes to this sort of thing but here are a few things I do stick to that work well for me:
I don’t believe in starvation diets, rather I stick to a balanced diet that includes all 5 food groups. Starvation diets do more damage than good and it slows down your metabolism something chronic. 6 small meals a day is better than three big ones as it assists in speeding up your metabolism as does lots of water & exercise. The gym is my number one way of staying in shape.
A great little trick to remember when dishing up your meals….Carbohydrates need to be more or less the size of your fist, Meats the size of the palm of your hand…fish the size of your open hand and there’s never a limit to your veg…so go mad there rather than over do the meats and carbs. Low fat dairy is always best…trust me after 3 weeks of low fat products you won’t want to go back to that horrid full cream stuff. Lol
I am quite fanatical over the health and appearance of my skin. So I have a few tips:
A daily three step facial regime – Wash, Tone & Moisturise ;) All three are important.
I find scrubs do more damage and cause the skin to become red and inflamed, try pureeing some pawpaw into a past and then apply it like a mask. Pawpaw has natural enzymes that remove rough and dead skin without irritating the skin.
Body Butters for winter ladies, they ensure your skin stays moisturised during the dry cold weather and they smell amazing.
I use Avroy Shlain spa products on my feet and hands. I have found these products work the best for me.

PIM: Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme ?
carla: I would love to shoot in a desolate area, desert. Something with a Guess jeans feal.

PIM: Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and a guys?
carla: I am all about the eyes.

PIM: What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on You?.
carla: Not so much bizarre as just plain annoying…”Hi, I think you are very Cute” CUTE is not a word I find complementing. Lol….it’s almost as bad as the word nice. I associate cute with soft toys and just think that there are so many other words that you’ll find are synonyms to the word cute that work so much better….like….charming, endearing, attractive.

PIM: If you were a tour operator and had to entice people from around the World to visit South Africa .Especially Cape Town? How would you promote it?
carla: Quite simply we have one of the world’s most beautiful costal holiday destinations. Hollywood stars are known to love Cape Town and many of them own holiday homes there. There’s never a lack of entertainment, shows, clubs and concerts to be seen. It is definitely the artists capital of SA in my opinion, if you want to make it as any kind of artist from music to photography Cape Town is the place to see, be and be seen.

PIM: What do you think about J Zuma as our new president. Are you optimistic about the future in SA?
carla: I’ll be completely honest here….I was devastated at the fact that the majority of South Africans chose to have JZ run our country after all the controversy that surrounded him. He was definitely not my choice when I made my mark on the 22nd of April 2009. However, I will give him his dues. From what I’ve seen and heard since his move into presidency, he has made some decent decisions that I’m sure every South African will benefit from. He is now our president and even those of us who did not vote him in need to get behind him and support him.
I do still cling to a glimmer of hope for the future of South Africa.

PIM: Tell us about one talent that you have that we never able to guess?
carla: Hmmmm I don’t know if you’d call it a talent…lol…but I can bring on the tears on command. Hey it’s gotten me out of many a bad situation. Hehehe
I have also been know to be somewhat Clairvoyant…..yes….I’m one of those weird folk. Bet you’d never have guessed that. lol

Whats ur favourite fashion brand – Sissy Boy
If you had a million rand, What would be your first purchase:
A House, property is always a good investment.
Favourite food: Chinese
Favorite perfume on a guy: Jean Paul Gaultier
Perfume on you: D&G Light Blue
Favorite clubbing and Hangout? : I’m a big News Café fan; it’s always a great outing. As for clubs I’d have to say my fav is Manhattans Rivonia. Hatfield is always mad fun too. ;)
Favourite restaurant and coffee shop....? Jimmy’s Prawns and Cappuccinos
One wish you would like to come true.? I wish for …World Peace….LOL….no seriously. ;) I’d like to get the opportunity to model overseas. That would be an awesome experience.
A quote that you always live by: "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced."
Favourite brand and colour of Lingerie? Temptations and Pink is by far my fav colour for just about everything. ;)

PIM: If you could be anyone famous in the World today, Who would you want to be and Why?
carla: Adriana Lima….she’s beautiful and she’s living my dream.

PIM: Are you single? What’s your ideal man?
carla: No not single, I’ve been happily involved with one guy for 8 years now.
My ideal man is energetic, confident and humorous. He needs to be athletic and well built, he must look after his appearance and of course the most important feature….he’d have to have beautiful, kind eyes. I need someone who is able to handle all the drama because I seem to attract it….lol. He needs to be completely loyal…I accept nothing less than a man who is willing to give his whole heart, a man who is able to allow me to know him completely.

PIM:If PIM had to take Carla on a date or approach you in a bar .What do we have to do to blow your socks off?
carla: On first approach I prefer a down to earth honest one. There is no need for sweet talking and pick up lines. I want to meet you….not your representative…so be yourself, sometimes a simple Hello is a great ice breaker.
As far as dates go….I’m a party girl…so you’re best bet is to start off at a restaurant…or even a News Café…lol…so that we can chat and get to know each other a little. Then it’s time to hit the town…Take me clubbling and you’ll need to dance…cause I’m not a bar leach and love to dance. Lol!
If it’s a day time date…then you’re gonna have to get creative. I’m an adrenaline junky, so amusement parks, bungee jumping & racing cars are a few of the things you may want to indulge me with for the day. ;)

PIM:Carla.A pleasure to have you on PIM. Best of luck with the Modeling career

ASHMI DALPAT

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.

~ Edgar Allen Poe~

PIM: Ashmi. Thank you for gracing PIM. You are from JHB. You certainly are POETRY IN MOTION. Firstly tell our readers more about yourself? Secondly how did the journey into modelling begin for you?
ashmi: I’m someone who loves wildlife, socialising, the outdoors and spending quality time with family. I care for those around me and live for those I love. I also value the great friendships that I have with some of my very dear friends.
The journey for me began when I was approached by certain modelling agencies and at first I was very reluctant but took the step forward by entering the modelling world and its gotten me this far.

PIM: What’s a day in the life Of Ashmi Dalpat. How do you pay the Bills, What do you do for a living?
ashmi: I am currently completing my law degree (LLB) so my day begins by attending lectures and spending time at campus doing research or printing loads of cases to read. During my spare time I work out and get involved in certain activities that keep me fit by either doing jogging, horse riding etc...
Once I get my degree I will surely be paying the bills but for now I’m fortunate that everything is covered for me.

PIM: Did you ever think you'd be doing this (modelling)?

PIM: What do you like most about modelling? What do you like least?
ashmi:What I fancy about modelling is that I get to dress up and be various characters whilst the make-up artists transform me into someone completely different at times. It’s also great as you get to meet many people and learn about different cultures.
What I dislike is that people have the perception that modelling is an easy career and that the models aren’t intelligent.

PIM: What are your Health and beauty secrets? Any tips for our readers? I mean all that spicy and delicious Indian Food, PIM should know. How do you make the sacrifice with that type of food being part of your culture?
ashmi:Never sleep with make-up on! Drink lots of water and use a face wash that’s not too harsh on the skin as this causes dryness.
I have a very balanced diet. I opt for grilled food instead of fried and hardly eat red meat. I also eat brown roti over white. No healthy diet is complete without a good exercise routine.

PIM: Can you cook a smouldering Hot Curry? If you had to whisk up a quick Indian Dish for PIM, What would it be?
ashmi: Yes, a delicious tandoori chicken curry with some fresh naan (Indian bread).

PIM: Since we have you on PIM, And you’re Indian. Did you watch Slum Dog Millionaire? How was it? PIM hasn’t watched it. Why would you recommend that we watch it?
ashmi:Yes, I personally felt that the movie was overrated and expected more from the actors. Don’t get me wrong, the kids were brilliant but there was just no chemistry between Jamal and Latika-the main characters of the movie. The soundtrack however, was excellent.
I would rather suggest that one read the book “Q & A” by Vikas Swarup which the movie was inspired by.

PIM: Is there any one you would like to meet right now? And if you were a fly on the wall where would you want to be?

PIM: Lol.Oh I see,Thats your younger sister in one of the pics.Double Trouble.Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme?
ashmi: Somewhere in the dessert, preferably Egypt with its beautiful sunsets and amazing views of the pyramids, dressed in traditional Egyptian clothing and make-up.

PIM: Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and a guys?
ashmi: A guy: lean shoulders.
Myself: would have to be my eyes.

PIM: What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on you?
ashmi: “I envy your lipstick, can u put some on me?”
“Step away from the bar please, you’re melting all the ice.”

PIM: Are you happy that the IPL Cricket League has come to SA? Good for revenue and good for SA? Your thoughts...
ashmi:Yes, I am very excited. It is a great opportunity for SA to grow as a country as it will showcase our beautiful scenery and thus increase tourism. I’ve also read in the news paper that since we’re hosting the event, it’s expected to bring approximately a billion rand investment to SA.
There are a few Bollywood stars down here and they will surely attract more people to the games and make the matches more enjoyable to watch as well.

PIM: What was your favourite Bollywood Movie and Why? Bollywood movies always seem to reflect on real life scenarios in the Indian Culture. Has any movie had any impact on your life or has been an inspiration?
ashmi: “ Taare Zameen Par” ( Directed by Aamir Khan)
This movie isn’t your typical love story movie. Instead it educates you on the learning disability known as Dyslexia- which a young boy suffers from in his early childhood. It shows you all the struggles he has to face in life with his family, friends and social life as they initially were unaware of his condition. Once diagnosed with it, he learns how to adapt to his new life and the people around him also understand him better.
In the end you realise that every child is special in his own unique way. You also learn that there were several famous people who had Dyslexia namely: Agatha Christie, Albert Einstein, Tom Cruise and Whoopi Goldberg.

What’s your favourite fashion brand: GuessFavourite food: Paneer

PIM: How has the modelling Industry ,present that is had an impact on the Indian Community and aspiring Indian models. With the bevy of Beauties in Bollywood, and the resurgence of Bollywood Im sure many aspiring Indian woman want to emulate these stunning actresses?

PIM: I got to ask you this. Who are your favourite Bollywood Stars,male and female?
ashmi:Male: Akshay Kumar for his good looks and charm.
Female: Katrina Kaif for her excellent dress sense and perfect figure.

PIM: If you could be anyone famous in the World today, who would you want to be and Why?

PIM: Are you single? What’s your ideal man?
ashmi: No.
My ideal man is someone who’s honest, humorous, educated, a bit of a romantic, outgoing and who maintains a fair balance between his work and other loved one’s.

PIM: If PIM had to take Ashmi on a date. What would we have to do to blow your socks off lol?
ashmi: Something fun, exciting and original (preferably in the outdoors) followed by a relaxing picnic lunch with red wine. Basically nothing too formal.

PIM: I assume you speak some Hindi. Any message for PIM in Hindi. Please translate?
ashmi: अच्छा काम जारी रखो (Accha kaam jaari rakho): Keep up the good work!

PIM: lol. Good luck. Ashmi a pleasure to have you on PIM. Best of luck with the Modelling career...

ashmi:Although this may sound clichéd, I’d have to say Oprah Winfrey since she is philanthropic and a very selfless person. She is determined to make the world a better place and I admire her because she is independent and has an immense passion for what she does.
ashmi: I’d have to say that Bollywood has become more westernized over the years. It’s impacted our society in a way that has made people more open-minded but keeping roots and tradition as an integral part of their lives.
There are those women who look up to the actresses and admire them for their great talent, hard work and drive that they have to make their movies a success. Some also wish to look like them and dress like them. It is important to bear in mind that at the end of the day they are all human just like us and every woman is beautiful in her own way.
Favourite perfume on a guy: Dunhill Desire RedFavourite Perfume on you: UltravioletFavourite clubbing and Hangout? LatinovaFavourite restaurant and coffee shop....? Adega- Portuguese Cuisine, Mug and BeanOne wish you would like to come through? I would love to go to Brazil someday.
A quote that you always live by?
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” - Confucius
Favourite brand and colour of Lingerie? La Senza, red.
ashmi:Suze Orman (personal finance author and television personality).
Spy on my younger sister and see what she gets up to when she’s out partying with her friends

ashmi: No, but it’s something I really enjoy as it opens many doors for me. Who knows where it could lead from here onwards. . .
