YOLANDIE RIBBENS















Had the price of looking been blindness, I would have looked. ~Ralph Ellison


PIM: Hi Yolandie Thank you for gracing PIM.........all the way from the Pretoria. (am I correct)Tell us more about yourself?Are you a girl next door or Adrenaline junky?
yolandie: I'm definately an adrenaline junky. I love fast cars, bikes and activities like bungee jumping. Life's too short to miss out on the fun stuff.


Tell us more about your modelling. How did it start?
I started modelling when I was 9years old, but only did it for a year. 2 Years ago me and one of my friends went for a photo shoot just for fun. I entered FHM and here
we are now.


PIM is honored to have you! Your ambitions and goals as a model? Where do you see yourself in ten years time?
I love photogenic modelling and would love to be a model for Guess. I'm not too comfortable with the cat walk, so I doubt whether I would go into that. I'd rather have my pictures taken and at the current moment I'm furthering my studies and the modelling is kind of a breakaway from reality.


What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
What I like most is the confidence one develops by challenging oneself. By taking yourself out of your comfort zone, one starts to learn new things as well as one's strengths and weaknesses. What I dislike most about modelling is the inner fighting amongst participants. Modelling is mainly focussed on external looks, but models should never forget the importance of being beautiful on the inside as well. After all, external beauty fades while internal beauty last forever.


So you are part of the FHM MODELS 2010 Top 100. Tell us more about being in the top 100 in SA.
How do you fancy your chances.I see theres some tough competition there?
Yes, I couldn't believe it when I received the mail that I'm under the TOP 100. I'm very happy and fortunate at the same time. There is definitely very tough competition. South Africa is truly blessed with beautiful women. The models are beautiful and it will be a huge personal accomplishment to be under the TOP 10.

So suppose you win FHM MODELS Yolandie, you are probably on a stringent fitness regime. What are you doing to maintain that hot bod?
Well, I must confess...I love chocolates and I really had to cut down a bit. Going to the gym helps me to stay focussed on my goal.


Back to the FHM models. So is it tough. What have you been doing in terms of getting them votes. Give us a brief itenary on what you have to do to compete in this comp 100%. Are you doing alot of shoots, promotions etc?
Being a financial manager takes up a lot of my time. So I don't really have the time to do alot of shoots or promotions. I therefore depend heavily on my friends and word of mouth to earn those votes.


Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme ?
I would love to do a shoot in Venice, Italy. Theme: La Dolce Vita


Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and then a guys?
The sexiest part of my body ..... uhm, I would have to say my eyes because through my eyes I see alot of sexy.....hahaha


Where can we find you on a typical weekend if you not doing a modeling shoot:
Definately in a movie, at a braai with friends, walking my dogs or on a speedbike.


What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on you?.
LOL.... one guy came to me asking if I arrived in that blue car? I replied no....
Then he asked: do want to leave in it?


If you were a tour operator and had to entice people from around the World to visit South Africa , Pretoria Town in particular. How would you promote it?
I will definately take them to Loftus first and show them the home of the best rugby team in the world.........hahahah. I think then we can continue to important landmarks such as the Union Buildings, the Voortrekker monument, etc. A stop at a few water holes will be very appropriate so that visitors can meet the friendly people of Pretoria.


Tell us about one talent that you have that we never able to guess?
I'm a really good cook...and make the best chocolatebrownies in the world.


Whats ur favourite fashion brand: Guess
Your favourite Car: Ferrari ;)
Fav Food: Seafood
Fav Drink: Malibu and appletizer
Fav perfume on guy: Hugo Boss
Perfume on me: Diesel
Fav club: Movida
Fav restaurant: Prosopa
One wish you would like to come through.?: that everyone in this world feel loved..
A quote that you always live by: The glory of God is man fully alive....A day without laughter is a day wasted


If we snuck into your bedroom, what could we find you sleeping in?
I'll remember to lock the door.


What type of music have you been listening too lately:
The Black Eyed Peas' new album.....I just love it.


Last movie you watched? Ugly Truth


If you could be anyone famous in the World today, Who would you want to be and Why?
The Queen of England..............do I say more?


What do you do to feel sexy? Put on my little black number..
Are you single? IF PIM had the power to create the perfect man. What type of features do you suggest we add :)?
No I'm spoken for. Well I think I have close to perfect. Tall, dark, handsome & well built. And that blue eyes......


If you had to kidnap any sportsman/celeb and take them to a remote island ,who will it be? Pierre Spies

If PIM had to take u on a date .What do we have to do to blow your socks off and make you say Wow?
Spectacular venue, good music, live band, and off course.......my friends.


What will you do if you win FHM MODELS 2010 and how important would it be for you to win such an elusive competition?
I will be at a loss for words! It will be a big surprise and honour. I will use it as a platform to promote "being woman". By that I mean.....I will encourage all women to have a positive impact on their society. To remind them what powers they posses and how they can influence people around them to make South Africa better.


Yolandie.A pleasure to have you on PIM. Best of luck with the Modeling career......Where will we see you next. Whats the next big modelling gig you have lined up aside from FHM MODELS?
I'll be entering in a few competitions in the months coming. So please keep on voting !!!
Thx PIM

CELESTE STANLEY









Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.” -Sara Teasdale

PIM: Hi Celeste. Thank you for gracing PIM.........all the way from Johannesburg. Tell us more about yourself?
celeste:Hi PIM fans, and thank you for having me. I call Jozi home but grew up in the beautiful Lowveld and studied in Pretoria. Hmm, I’m your typical Sagittarius - fun, outgoing, a lover of people with loads of energy but strong-willed and focused at the same time. Oh, and I love to laugh.




Tell us more about your modelling. How did it start?
I model part time. I currently work in strategic projects for a large commercial bank and modelling is a great way to let loose and just have some fun!! To me, modelling doesn’t seem like work because I’m so passionate about it.




PIM is honored to have you! Your ambitions and goals as a model?
Since my modelling is part time right now, I see my ambitions and goals more holistic than simply modelling. Having said that, it would be wonderful to ultimately become a successful personality and model in South Africa.




What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
I love being in front of the camera and enjoy seeing how this translates into a gorgeous end-product. In terms of the part which I like least, that would probably be the ugly, ‘cut-throat’ side of the industry. However, I reckon any industry has a ‘dark’ side to it really.




So you are part of the FHM MODELS 2010 Top 100. Tell us more about being in the top 100 in SA. How do you fancy your chances. I see there’s some tough competition there?
 It’s been such an honour to be part of this entire process and I’ve enjoyed every single moment. I think I rank favourably but at the end of the day I can only make it to the Top 10 with the support of the fans out there. So far, everyone has shown me so much love and support for which I’m deeply grateful . But yes, all the girls are gorgeous… SA chicks are hot!




So suppose you win FHM MODELS Celeste, what are you doing to maintain that hot bod?
 I’ve always maintained a healthy lifestyle in terms of food choices and ensuring that I stay active. I believe one should incorporate good habits into your every day and view it as a way of life.


 Is there any one you would like to meet right now? And If you were invisible for a day? Where would you wanna be?
Nelson Mandela - what an icon. Ooh being invisible… I’d be naughty and get up to all sorts of mischief for sure!!! And the best part is that I would be able to get away with it all


Back to the FHM models. So is it tough. What have you been doing in terms of getting them votes. Give us a brief itenary on what you have to do to compete in this comp 100%. Are you doing a lot of shoots, promotions etc?
Things have been busy indeed! Been for a couple of photoshoots (with a few more planned) to keep my profile interesting, I’ve featured in my hometown’s local newspaper and various other promotional interviews. I’ve also gained good traction from my Facebook group
 (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1008408873&v=info&ref=profile#/group.php?gid=173737788311)
 and a good night on the town doesn’t hurt either! I’ve also tried to engage with my fans as much as possible whether it be on the FHM site, Facebook, or in person. I’d like to do a lot more though (so watch this space) as, amongst other things, I will be collaborating with various charities.


Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme?
Somewhere exotic, doing a sexy shoot for a big label such as the Guess brand which I’m crazy about.


Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and then a guys?
Without a doubt my curves and skin, and for guys it’s all in the eyes (it is the window to the soul after all).


What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on you?.
“Did it hurt…” (PAUSE) ”…when you fell from heaven?” It’s a classic really (and not that bad, I guess) but it always seems to make me laugh as my name means heavenly.


If you were a tour operator and had to entice people from around the World to visit South Africa ,. How would you promote it? Are you excited for 2010?
I’d tell them about all the hot bods in SA (LOL!). Seriously though, we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world… pristine beaches, abundant nature, and most importantly fantastic people. 2010 is going to be an awesome revenue kicker for the South African economy….it’s going to be fabulous in every way!


Tell us about one talent that you have that we never able to guess?
I have great flexibility as a result of years of classical training in ballet and various dance genres. I was hardly 2 years old when I first started prancing around in a tutu.


Whats ur favourite fashion brand: Can I only choose one? I love to shop!!! Sissyboy, Guess, and ALDO are my staples though.
Your favourite Car: A black BMW, Baby…
Fav Food: Sushi (YUM!)
Fav Drink: Savignon Blanc - with lots of ice
Fav perfume on guy: You can never go wrong with any Hugo Boss
Perfume on me: Michael Kors
Fav club: Movida, Rivonia/Sandton. You’ll notice that one of my recent shoots was actually done there.
Fav restaurant: I’m a regular at Koi in Sandton (again, YUM!)
One wish you would like to come true? Right now, taking the coveted FHM Models 2010 title.


A quote that you always live by:
I’ve always held Mark Twain’s timeless quote close to my heart, especially when making big decisions. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover”.


If we snuck into your bedroom, what could we find you sleeping in?
Not very much so that might not be such a good idea - LOL!


What type of music have you been listening too lately: I enjoy almost all types of music, depending on my mood or the situation. Excited about the Killers coming to SA in December!


Last movie you watched? Cloudy with a chance of meatballs (love animations, so cute!)


What do you do to feel sexy? Get naked… or dressed-up for that matter.


Are you single? IF PIM had the power to create the perfect man. What type of features do you suggest we add :)?
No, I’m taken but admirable features would be a deep soul, confidence, and a good sense of humour…. ooh, and a great pair of buns :)




If you had to kidnap any sportsman/celeb and take them to a remote island, who will it be?
I have this odd obsession over Khan Morbee from the Parlotones. I don’t quite know what about him has me so hooked but I think he’s simply adorable! He’d probably look gorgeous in a cozi :)


If PIM had to take u on a date .What do we have to do to blow your socks off and make you say Wow?
Anything that’ll make me feel spoilt & loved, sometimes these special moments can be created in the simplest ways.


What will you do if you win FHM MODELS 2010 and how important would it be for you to win such an elusive competition?
Its very important to me and I would absolutely love to win!!! Winning would certainly take my modelling to a whole new level. I love wearing sexy lingerie and feel comfortable in swimwear, so it would be great just making it into the Top 10. Having said that, I do realise that physical beauty is also only one facet of a person, and it doesn’t make anyone whole.


Celeste, a pleasure to have you on PIM. Best of luck with the Modelling career......Where will we see you next? What’s the next big modelling gig you have lined up aside from FHM MODELS?
Thanks for all the support PIM – you rock! For now, my focus is very much on FHM MODELS and the exposure generated from it but I will most definitely be out there doing my thing as much as possible. Much love to all the PIM fans - your support to get me into the Top 10 means so much to me, Honeys! xoxo

LINDA BOTHA












PIM: Hi Linda Thank you for gracing PIM.........all the way from Cape Town.Tell us more about yourself?
linda: I am from Cape Town, the beautful Mother City.
I am a pure breed Gemini. So to date, I have about 6 different personalities. I am charming, cunning, direct, honest, funny, sarcastic, good with words, love networking, love all kinds of people, get bored easily though, strong willed and, well, lets just say that there is never a dull moment with Linda ;)


Tell us more about your modelling. How did it start?
I do modelling part time. I am currently in the property game, so when I have a chance for a bit of fun, I go for it! But it's been going on for about 15 years on and off.
We only live once right, so why the hell not!


PIM is honored to have you! Your ambitions and goals as a model? Where do you see yourself in ten years time?
I am honored to be here! My main objective not only as a model, but my life as a whole, is fulfilment. I live by law of attraction. I love making people laugh and creating a positive energy around myself and others. Life is way too short, and people don't always realise it until it's over. Ten years from now? Mmm, I see myself retired already and helping others find their purpose so to say. Stay involved in property, loads of travelling, and definately helping non profitable organisations etc.
LOL, world peace!


What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
The best thing about modeling for me is creating a photograph of emotion. Telling a story or creating a need/want. Whether it is in clothing, a type of art to get a message across or just seeing what you are capable of!


Worst thing about modeling, shew! It's a cut throat world out there and especially in this industry! Everyone is in it for themselves, so it can get quite tricky if in the wrong network.


So you are part of the FHM MODELS 2010 Top 100. Tell us more about being in the top 100 in SA.
How do you fancy your chances.I see theres some tough competition there?
Yeah, it's quite an awesome feeling to be apart of this competition! Meeting tons of people with this competition, so loving every bit of it! I think my chances are quite positive. The only way I get to the Top 10 is the people that vote for me, and I am getting great support from everyone! But seeing the rest of the girls, we are definately the hottest Nation!


So suppose you win FHM MODELS Linda, you are probably on a stringent fitnes regime. What are you doing to maintain that hot bod?
Fitness regime? Lol, no no! It's all about life style! I LIVE on sushi! It's actually becoming quite an expensive addiction of mine lately! I have also purchased a Russel Hobbs Steamer the other day, works like a bomb and the food tastes unbelievable!


My motto with food is "If you know you going to have that feeling of 'why did I have that' after that meal, DON'T have it. You will feel so much better that you didn't!
PIM: Is there any one you would like to meet right now? And If you were invisible for a day? Where would you wanna be?
Honestly, I would like to have 10 minutes with Robert Mugabe. Give him a few lessons in life and give him some of own medicine!
If I were invisible for a day, mmm. I would get on the next flight to Europe and get my hands on a Bugatti Veron and take it for a good test drive!


Back to the FHM models. So is it tough. What have you been doing in terms of getting them votes. Give us a brief itenary on what you have to do to compete in this comp 100%. Are you doing alot of shoots, promotions etc?
It's been pretty hectic this past month. Had an operation about two weeks ago, working on a property launch with a huge budget, so haven't had much time I would want to have myself more out there. I have awesome support and PR though helping me with my group "Linda Botha for FHM 2010" on Facebook as well as some fliers that will be coming out soon to get the word around. Within the next month I will be promoting myself at exclusive venue's in Cape Town and getting more updated photographs onto my FHM page.


Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme ?
I have always loved black and white photographs. So I am really fond of the Peroni and Guess girl type of look. So location is definately Italy! ;)

Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and then a guys?
I think the sexiest part of my would be my back, hips and eyes (Sorry, can't choose just one, I am a Gemini!!)
For a guy, definately those Vegas Arrows aka hips, eyes and smile.


What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on you?.
OMG! It wasn't used on me but it was priceless at the time! A few years ago (like 8 years), I was at a Cubana in Table View (Go figure!) with a mate of mine. The guys it that area get stupidly drunk, and he came up to my friend and screemed in disgust "Did you fart?!" I think she nearly had a stroke because of the shocking question! As the people around us heard it, the next thing everyone disperses leaving her and I alone in this circle. Finally after about 30 minutes of debating, this guy finally gave in and went up to her and with a grin, said "Because you blew me away..."
You had to be there to experience it, but the dude got it right somehow because they are married today!


If you were a tour operator and had to entice people from around the World to visit South Africa ,Cape Town in particular. How would you promote it?
People that come here will definately not be dissapointed! I would show off our awesome beaches, night spots, restaurants, wine estates, elephant rides and bungee jumping with a full view of Table Mountain!
Cannot go wrong with Cape Town, period!

Tell us about one talent that you have that we never able to guess?
I think my best talent is analysing peoples personality etc. I am a very good judge of character and love studying people. I just need a few minutes with a person and I can tell what them exactly what they are all about ;)


Whats ur favourite fashion brand: I am not really a brand girl. As long as it looks good on me I am a pig in Sh*t
Your favourite Car: Bugatti Veyron
Fav Food:Sushi
Fav Drink:Jamesons and Soda
Fav perfume on guy: F1 Black Edition
Perfume on me: DKNY
Fav club: Currently Chevelle
Fav restaurant: Beluga Restaurant
One wish you would like to come true.?: Becoming a full time model


A quote that you always live by: Watch your thoughts; They become words.
Watch your words; They become actions.
Watch your actions; They become habits.
Watch your habits; They become your character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny
When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,
and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,
we must believe that one of two things will happen;
There will either be something solid for us to stand on...
or we will be taught to fly.


If we snuck into your bedroom, what could we find you sleeping in?
Lol, are you serious??
Well I sleep naked, so good luck!


What type of music have you been listening too lately: I love all types of music, need a variety. As long as it isn't gospel and heavy metal. So much anger!
Last movie you watched?  was Wanted, awesome story line!


What do you do to feel sexy?Music!


Are you single? IF PIM had the power to create the perfect man. What type of features do you suggest we add :)? Yes I am single.
Oi, thats a tough question!
Eyes, smile and good body in general.
As long as he is happy with himself and confident, able to keep up with me and know what he is doing in all areas, I am happy!


If you had to kidnap any sportsman/celeb and take them to a remote island ,who will it be?
I have to have a piece of Ryk Neetling, he is just yum!


If PIM had to take u on a date .What do we have to do to blow your socks off and make you say Wow?
Sundowners on a yaught in Camps Bay, Sushi for dinner, thereafter go watch Jeff Dunham in theatre, go out and pain the town red with Patron Coffee and see from there... ;)


What will you do if you win FHM MODELS 2010 and how important would it be for you to win such an elusive competition?
Honestly, it would probably be the best thing that would happen to me! So yeah, it would be pretty important. If not, I get to live another day, which is just as important;)


Linda, A pleasure to have you on PIM. Best of luck with the Modeling career......Where will we see you next. Whats the next big modelling gig you have lined up aside from FHM MODELS?
Thanks so much ;)
I am going to be doing some joint ventures with exclusive venue's in Cape Town and probably Johannesburg. But will definately let everyone know closer to the time!
Otherwise I need to get back on par with work since the op! But get ready for December baby!

CHARNE' JADE SLEE





Love of beauty is Taste. The creation of beauty is Art.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson


PIM: Hi Charne Thank you for gracing PIM.........all the way from the mother City. (am I correct)Tell us more about yourself?Are you a girl next door or Adrenaline junky?
charne: My pleasure, Thank you for having me. I studied in the Mother City, now living in JHB.. but I consider Cape Town, home. Mmmm, I think I am a good balance between "Girl Next Door" and "Adrenaline Junkie"... I am a girly girl with a zest for living. I'll never say no to adventure. Put it this way, I love being feminine but have no problem roughing it up for a week, rafting down the Orange River, sleeping on river banks and not seeing a mirror or bathroom at all or even paragliding off Lions Head. My family are vid campers, so I have learnt to handle the rough.


Tell us more about your modelling. How did it start?
I was approached at 14 in Canal Walk, Cape Town. I was too young then and my parents were strict on school coming first, so they enrolled me in modeling school and sent me to JHB for a few presenting/modeling courses. I did a couple of jobs and competitions in the holidays, but only started concentrating on it properly recently, my studies are now done, my mind is in a maturer place and I am now ready to take it on with full force.

PIM is honored to have you! Your ambitions and goals as a model? Where do you see yourself in ten years time?
As a model, I'd love to cover all avenues possible and take on almost anything, I want the industry to push me and mold me into a strong, hard working professional. I will definitely use the opportunities and experiences to branch out into every area of the industry. I'd love to present something like Top Billing, or take part in "Strictly Come Dancing" - simply have fun with all thats out there. In 10 years time I will have a successful business, and enjoy the industry as a side line career.

What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
Mostly I would have to say simply being in front of camera. I lose myself in character. Least would be the "hurry up and wait" aspect. A days work as a model is not all glamorous, and can be incredibly exhausting.


So you are part of the FHM MODELS 2010 Top 100. Tell us more about being in the top 100 in SA.
How do you fancy your chances.I see theres some tough competition there?
There definitely is, it was a great moment receiving the news and I am excited to be apart of it all. My chances? I think I fair well in the ranking, it's all about the pictures at this stage and I have amazing support which humbles me every single day.


So suppose you win FHM MODELS Charne', you are probably on a stringent fitnes regime. What are you doing to maintain that hot bod?
I am lucky to have a gym at home, so I am in there 4/5 times a week doing general cardio and light weight training. I usually go to 2 spinning classes a week and I am attending Pole Dancing classes twice a week (there you find muscles you never knew you had)... other than that I enjoy being out and active, I love tennis, the driving range, adventure golf.. anything that gets me up and moving.


PIM: Is there any one you would like to meet right now? And If you were invisible for a day? Where would you wanna be?
Kim Kardashian, I was so upset I didn't see her when she was in SA! If I was invisible for a day, I'd sneak onto any airplane and travel as much as I could... I have an uncontrollable desire to see the world.


Back to the FHM models. So is it tough. What have you been doing in terms of getting them votes. Give us a brief itenary on what you have to do to compete in this comp 100%. Are you doing alot of shoots, promotions etc?
I have a facebook group, where we keep people updated on shoots and places we'll be at and ways to vote. I am on twitter as "CharneJade", I have a pretty awesome campaign we are working on... but you'll have to wait and see what that is all about... all I can say, is that it's wicked! And yes, my next shoot is scheduled for early next week.

Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme ?
I'd be in greece, in their amazing waters wearing white and gold, whether it be a bikini, or simply soft material, emphasis on the greek methodology and all their god and goddess beliefs.

Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and then a guys?
My sexiest part would probably be my curves, I love having a womanly shape! And guys, that would be their heaven lines... you know, the ones that start on the side of the tummy and move down and inwards creating an arrow ...

Where can we find you on a typical weekend if you not doing a modeling shoot
I love restaurants and eating out... so I'll always be at any of my favourite spots, or any new ones that need trying out. I enjoy places like Cubana, FTV and News Cafe'. Otherwise I love my home, and love spending my time there, relaxing, catching some sun, gyming, and having good friends over.

What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on you?.
A guy recently bought me a drink at Traders, Sun City. I thanked him and turned to leave but couldn't help asking what happened to his blue and bandaged face, his response was that he did cage fighting. No rules. I told him that I hoped the other guy came out worse off than he did and his reply was "He didn't come out at all" ... I don't know if he thought that was impressive but I was out of there in 2 seconds flat.

If you were a tour operator and had to entice people from around the World to visit South Africa , Cape Town in particular. How would you promote it?
Oh my word, Cape Town promotes itself ... there is not much convincing in that department surely, take one look at the scenery, the restaurants, the things to do, and the nightlife and it's sold!

PIM: Tell us about one talent that you have that we never able to guess?
I have an insane memory, I will remember your birthday for ages, even if I never see you again.

Whats ur favourite fashion brand: I adore 'Urban' clothing
Your favourite Car: I'd love to own a brand new black jeep.
Fav Food: I love italian food and I love a good steak - I am not one of those girls that order lettuce and water! I will have a steak just as big as yours!
Fav Drink: Champagne
Fav perfume on guy: Jean Paul Gualtier
Perfume on me: Burberry Bliss, Coty
Fav club: Tiger, Cape Town
Fav restaurant: Kong Roast, JHB
One wish you would like to come through.?: At this stage, taking the FHM Models 2010 title would be awesome.
A quote that you always live by: "When life gets tangled, Tango on" Al Pacino, in Scent of a Woman.
If we snuck into your bedroom, what could we find you sleeping in? Firstly, can I suggest you come in Summer, I am the most unattractive winter sleeper... 3 pairs of socks, jerseys and scarves. In summer though, you'll find me in a T shirt or strappy top and hot pants

What type of music have you been listening too lately: Today, I've only listened to 5 fm.
Last movie you watched? "Ghost of Girlfriends Past", I fell asleep so it couldn't have been that good,

If you could be anyone famous in the World today, Who would you want to be and Why?
Again, Kim Kardashian... I'd love to experience the Kardashian family on a whole and enjoy the environment that Kim has created for herself, from family to fans and work experiences. I am in love with how she has changed the face of the "typical" modeling figure and re-invented the curvy look.

What do you do to feel sexy?
Sweat.

Are you single? IF PIM had the power to create the perfect man. What type of features do you suggest we add :)?
No, I am a taken girl! The perfect man, would have deep blue eyes and strong beautiful hands, an amazing zest for life and keen nature for adventure and travel, a great dresser, clean and organised... And heaven muscles, remember!

 If you had to kidnap any sportsman/celeb and take them to a remote island ,who will it be?
I'd take Kelly Slater, he'd be useful on an island ;)

If PIM had to take u on a date .What do we have to do to blow your socks off and make you say Wow?
I love uniqueness, nothing better than feeling like a princess and experiencing amazing things. A private dinner on the roof of a building, a hot air ballon ride, playing with cub lions or elephant back safari's - use your imagination and I will love it!


What will you do if you win FHM MODELS 2010 and how important would it be for you to win such an elusive competition?
I think it would be an amazing entrance into a successful career as a personality and a model. Having said that, it's up to me and how I use it and handle the situations and opportunities. I would definitely take the title and mould it into a great grounding for many things yet to come.


Charne.A pleasure to have you on PIM. Best of luck with the Modeling career......Where will we see you next. Whats the next big modelling gig you have lined up aside from FHM MODELS?
