RACHEL HABIB

PIM: Hi Rachel Welcome to PIM..Tell us about yourself and your modelling.Where have your exploits taken you?

Rachel: I'm a mixture of four nationalities; Lebanese, Congolese, Belgian and Angolan. I grew up and studied mainly in Europe and The DRC. I moved here 4 years ago and had to learn english in 6 months to gain admission to a university in which I'm studying law. I have a rising career in modelling and have competed in various contests and been successful at most but my passion lies in the film industry.


Any major competitions we can look for Rachel Habib in?
FHM Top 100 Sexiest in the near future. SASI Swimsuit 2010 and perhaps other popular publications i.e. Maxim & GQ:

RACHEL..anything you’d like to say. A message for our readers to entice them to vote for you in future competitions?
I'm truly the combination of beauty and brains!

So u like SPorts and Horses,Believe you have one in Congo. ?
Yes I'm a sports fan, especially it comes to football and rugby. I was into horse riding a lot when I was younger and I do have a horse in Congo.

Speaking of which. What’s a typical day in the life of Rachel habib?
I have law classes during the day. In between that time I juggle school with castings, auditions, rehearsals, acting classes, photos shoots etc. In the evening, I'll gym and try to do some school-work as I am still a student.

If you could cook PIM any meal and desert to blow us away...What would that be? Lebanese of African dish maybe?
A lebanese salad called 'Taboule' for starters. The main course would be 'Carbonara d'agneau au parmesan' (Pasta with lamb and parmesan cheese) and finally 'Tiramisu' for dessert.

PIM: If you had to have KIDNAP any sportsman/celeb, who would that be ha ha? Ha ha good question, why kidnap though?
 I would say Channing Tatum or Victor Valdes. There's so many good looking male celebrities and sportsman, so its quite a hard question.

Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme ? 'Bali/Madagascar/Mauritius/Hawaii/Zanzibar/Seychelles/Mykonos - the theme would be glamorous and exotic.

PIM: Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and a guys? :)
 I would say my eyes - you can tell a lot about a person by their eyes and what they're thinking. My eyes say everything about what I’m thinking..

What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on You?
Ha ha ha, just thinking about it makes me laugh; "Since you entered this room, my heart stopped beating, I know it’s a sign, God sent you from heaven to be mine"

2010...in SA...UR THOUGHTS..How do you think we will handle it, Are you optimistic about SA and the future in retrospect to the economy, change of presidency etc? Let me put it this way. If you were president of this country. What would you change NOW!
I would continue invest in the large infrastructure projects already in place so that we can address the issue of unemployment. One thing that has made me really proud to be a South African is the pride and patriotism we have shown as a result of hosting the World Cup. That shows me that South Africans do have the spirit of a people who can achieve great things when motivated. As a future lawyer and entrepreneur I’d like to see government do more to encourage the development of young and small businesses in the form of micro loans and other such programs..

Tell us about one talent that you have that we never able to guess?
I can play 7 instruments! That’s a joke, well I can say that I am good with languages( I can speak more than 4 of them) and I can act…

What’s your favourite fashion brand? I have a favourite brand for different things so if I start naming them, we’ll be stuck here for the day, lol.
If you had a million rand, What would be your first purchase? A house for my parents because they are the reason for why I am who I am and I love them with all my heart.

Favorite Food and Drink: That is a hard one because I love food in general. I would say sushi and any non-alcoholic fruit cocktail.

Favorite perfume on you: Mont Blanc by D& G
One wish you would like to come through? To become a successful actress and model
A quote that you always live by: Work Smart, Play Hard!

If we snuck into your bedroom, what could we find you sleeping in?
Sexy lingerie... Hahaha, that would have been such a predictable answer coming from a model. But the reality is that, even though I love lingerie, when it comes to bed time, like the girl next door I would wear something which is comfortable, so it would be shorts and a top.

What type of music have you been listening too lately: Dance , R&B , French and Arabic music.
Last movie you watched? Green Zone, great film..

What do you do to feel sexy?
A girl sholud wear something that compliments her and which she feels comfortable in. Not everything suits everyone, you have to get the right thing for your body and then you’ll be able to feel comfortable and sexy. For me it's first a mental attitude and then it reflects from the outside by the way you carry yourself. I will never wear something that looks bad on me. That is what makes me feel sexy.

Would you say a woman can learn how to be a model, or modeling is something in the genes?
You have it or you don't have it at all? Why do you think so?
First of all, you need to fall within certain strict requirements, which are; a specific height, measurements, good skin, smile, look and genre. The rest is all about you, your personality, qualities, whether you are a hard worker. Its the dream of a lot of girls but only a small few get the opportunity to become successful. You also learn every day, how to carry yourself, how to pose, how to wal. In essence, I would say it’s a mixture of the two.

If you could be anyone famous in the World today, who would you want to be and Why?
I'd prefer to be myself in 10 years.

Are you single? Whilst we on the topic, How important is a guy’s dress sense to you? So PIM can spruce up and impress someone like you. What’s your ideal man?
I don't have an ideal man, but I know what I want so if a guy has those qualities then there might be chance for us to have something. Its not all about looks but its about personality.

If PIM had to take you on a date. What would we have to do to blow your socks off lol?
I would prefer not answering this question so at least guys will keep on trying their best to impress me.

Thank You Rachel.All the best for the future

ANESCA SWART

We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

PIM: Anesca.You are truely Poetry in Motion. . How did the journey begin. Where have your exploits taken you..... Tell Tell? What are some of your major achievements?

I started modelling when I was 14 and at that time it was only to do something extra curricular. I really liked it and started doing pageants. Although I've never won a title, I was always placed among the top three at least. Haha! Anyway, after a while I joined an agency and
Voila!Some of my biggest achievements include being a finalist in the Face of Paco Rabanne XS competition which is an international fashion brand and the competition was nation wide. Also, I've worked on two local films namely Wild At Heart and Bakgat 2. I'm also a cheerleader for the university I'm studying at. I've done a few fashion shows, but nothing major yet. I'm still waiting for my big break! Haha!

Speaking of which. What’s a typical day in the life of Anesca Swart?
A typical day in my life is actually very boring. I'm currently doing my Honour's degree in Economics, so other than that, there's not much time for anything else! Haha! But I do make time for loved ones of
course. And then there's castings for modelling jobs from time to time.
When I do go out to party, I make it worthwhile though. Haha!

 If you could cook PIM any meal and desert to blow us away...What would that be?
I'm really not a good cook at all. My staple food is currently two minute noodles! Haha! But if I were to really put effort into a meal, it would be something traditional (I'm from a very small town, where restaurants is almost non-existing!), so it would be the traditional Sunday type of meal with lamb, vegetables and lots of carbs with a sweet red wine! For dessert, of course Malva pudding with a nice choclate sauce and cocktails later.

If you had to have KIDNAP any sportsman/celeb, who would that be ha ha?
If I could kidnap a sportsman or celebrity, it would be Quentin Chong. He's the South African, and World Champion of Muay-Thai, a type of martial arts. I'd kidnap him (or at least try to), so he can teach me
this art. I can't get enough of this sport! But I still have to gain enough courage to actually try it myself. I love my face too much.Haha!

Your dream shoot…Pick a location, a theme ?
As for my dream shoot, it would be in a bikini on the beaches of Phuket in Thailand. The water is an amazing bright blue colour and it's so serene. I think it'd make an amazing shoot!

Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and a guys? :)
The sexiest part of my body is definitely my buttocks. I've received a lot of compliments for them! But I think I'm overall quite nicely in shape and everything is in relation. As for guys, definitely shapely legs and a strong jawbone! Can't go wrong with that!

What are some of the competions or events we can find you in ?What exciting stuff have you done or are planning on doing regarding your modelling?
Modelling has definitely sent me on some weird journeys, like when I was doing a haute couture fashion show, the designer didn't want the models to potentially damage the dresses, so he dressed us himself! And
we were standing there in nothing but a g-string! Definitely felt uncomfortable that day!

What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on You?
A guy once used a really really bad pick-up line on me. He said: " You are the second most beautiful woman in the world." I asked him who the most beautiful was then? He said: " That woman will still have to be born." Now it sounds okay at first I guess. But then you start thinking that it may have been an insult, because then obviously more beautiful women were to come and you would be replaceable? Plus, I didn't know how to react to that. I just said okay and walked off. It's not the kind of line that really makes a girl feel special you know? I like pick-up lines, they're so cute. Like:"Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven?"
and things like that. Cheesy is still awesome! It'll work on me. Haha!

2010...in SA...UR THOUGHTS..How do you think we will handle it, Are you optimistic about SA and the future in retrospect to the economy, change of presidency, latest political issues etc? Let me put it this way. If you were president of this country. What would you change NOW!
I don't really like talking about politics. But 2010 is an amazing honour for our country. I was really surprised with how wonderful the stadiums look! I'm really positive about it. I am concerned about crime
though. That is what's tearing our country apart. Racism will always be an issue, but I just wish that people could realise that we do need each other. If I was president, I would concentrate on the infrastructure of the country and the public hospitals. Potholes will definitely have to be fixed and the state of the hospitals is just a scary thought! I would look into other emerging countries' policies and make some adjustments like lowering tax!

Tell us about one talent that you have that we never able to guess?
I have a talent for the game Need for Speed! I'm really good and I will challenge anyone!

What’s your favourite fashion brand: Sissy Boy and Guess. I love Sissy Boy jeans! They always fit perfectly!
If you had a million rand, What would be your first purchase? I would definitely do the safe thing and

invest. I could always play around with shares, but it's very risky. I would spend some too! Unfortunately a million rand is not enough for me to import a Ford Shelby GT 500 car. So I'll give a portion to the SPCA,
as animals lie very close to my heart and with the rest I'll take my mom on a mad shopping spree!

Favorite Food and Drink: Pizza & I love drinking Coke:I'm really a down to earth, girl-next-door type of person!
Favorite perfume on you As for perfume, anything by Guess makes me smell nice!
One wish you would like to come through? I have lost of wishes! The biggest right now is that I can become a famous SA model! Only you guys can make that happen for me!

A quote that you always live by: The quote that I live by is that there will always be someone worse off

than you, no matter how hard you may have it right now, so be thankful for the things you do have!
If we snuck into your bedroom, what could we find you sleeping in? I sleep in a tank top and hotpants! It's really the most comfortable
What type of music have you been listening too lately: I love house and hip hop music. Something I can dance to. I dance all the time by myself when no one's watching! Even if people is watching, I won't mind!

Last movie you watched? The latest movie I saw was such an inspiration. Avatar. It was a crazy long movie, but very worthwhile! And the graphics was awesome! I really recommend it!

What do you do to feel sexy?I'll dance around in little clothing or just go to a club where I can dance and have a lot of attention! Getting attention from the opposite sex in general is really a compliment. I've even had a lesbian girl trying to make a move on me! It was a really big compliment for me!

Would you say a woman can learn how to be a model, or modeling is something in the genes? You have it or you don't have it at all? Why do you think so?
Modelling can definitely be learnt. Most of the international models you see on Ftv was accidentally discovered somewhere and a lot of them are nothing like you would expect from a model. All models have come where they are today by learning. Talent and looks does play a role, but it's definitely not rocket science!

If you could be anyone famous in the World today, who would you want to be and Why?
it would have to be Hugh Hefner! I mean, look at all the assets the man has! And he's sweet too. He saved the Hollywood sign in LA by donating $900 000! So I think it'll be great if on your old age day you can still get to host amazing parties, have beautiful women all around you and be soooo rich! Haha!

Are you single? Whilst we on the topic, How important is a guy’s dress sense to you? So PIM can spruce up and impress someone like you. What’s your ideal man?
Unfortunately for you guys, I'm not single. I've been in a looong relationship for the past seven years. He's my first love from my school days, so yes, true love does still exist! Dress sense is extremely important! A guy in jeans and a cool t-shirt or collared shirt is really attractive! It doesn't have to be too much trouble. Simplicity with style is always appreciated! My ideal man is tall and shapely with a great sense of humour and style. I'm interested in a manly man. I'm a damsel in distress and need someone to open bottle caps and be a handyman. Also a gentleman who will open the car door for me for example.

If PIM had to take U on a date. What would we have to do to blow your socks off lol?
The ideal date for me would be a picnic somewhere outdoors. We would eat pizza of course and drink cocktails while chatting about everyday issues and our future aspirations. Then we'd go to the amusement park and have a blast on all the rides until our heads hurt! It would be sooo much fun. Something I'd look really forward to

Good luck Anesca A pleasure to have you on PIM. Best of luck with the Modelling and FHM Models 2010. We’ll get the votes coming your way..
Thanks again for the oppurtunity! All of the best to you and your users!

CANDICE BRINK

The ever-present phenomenon ceases to exist for our senses. It was a city dweller, or a prisoner, or a blind man suddenly given his sight, who first noted natural beauty-Remy de Gourmont

PIM: Candice Brink.You are truely Poetry in Motion.We seen you in FHM Models... How did the journey begin. Where have your exploits taken you..... Tell Tell?

candice: I am fairly new to the South African modeling scene but I must say that I am enjoying it thoroughly. It began when I sent through my picturess to FHM actually so far I have done a few campaigns and Shows…I’m taking it one step at a time and taking advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.

Swashbuckling adventure,Quad Bikes, Energy of the party and an overwhelming passion of the outdoors..Tell us about this passion Candice.?
I have no fear I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing…I am a bit of a self proclaimed adrenaline junkie.I’ve got to have action & excitement in my life.

What are some of your goals of being a model.Where would you want to be in ten years time?
Well I have many goals as far as modeling is concerned. At the moment I am working at establishing myself in S.A., I want people to start sitting up and taking notice, cause the truth is I’m not going anywhere any time soon!
In ten years I would love to have a successful career in the entertainment business (as acting is my Ultimate Passion). I would like “Candice Brink” to be recognized internationally as a sought after brand as there are many sectors I still want to dabble in E.g.: Fashion, fragrance etc.
Actually I plan to release my own line of couture tee’s (T-Shirts) before the end of the year as well as well as launch my official brand.
WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!

PIM understands that you are always commuting between SA and Europe. Tell us about the different cultures abroad and how it impacts your modelling. We hope its just commuting and you will return forever for good old Castle and Boerewors :)
I have a passion for travelling one of my goals in life to see every corner of the globe. How do u know where u Ultimately want to be if u haven’t seen it all???
I love experiencing the different cultures - u will find some u love and some u don’t - I was very protected until I started venturing out into the world.
Being able to be in different parts of the world can be great for your modeling career, it is also easier to work with the best people in the business.
S.A. will always be my home I love it here & I am defiantly a JOZI girl @ heart, that’s probably why I am always up and down – I’m undecided about where I want to be and I’m young there is no reason to chose for now I will have “BOTH”.

What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on You?
A guy once came up to me and asked me what I would like for breakfast the following morning.
A little presumptuous but not totally cheesy!!!

2010...in SA...UR THOUGHTS..How do you think we will handle it, Are you optimistic about SA and the future in retrospect to the economy, change of presidency etc? Let me put it this way. If you were president of this country. What would you change NOW!
I would defiantly clamp down on corruption and the unnecessary personal spending of the members of the ruling party.
I would put more focus on stopping crime in SA so citizens as well tourists have peace of mind.
As long as people continue to be educated , yes I do think South Africa has a bright future ahead!!!
I am extremely optimistic about the 2010 World Cup, it is an amazing opportunity for us and I’m backing Bafana all the way!!!

Are you positive about SA......
Extremely it’s my Country and def one of the most beautiful in the world at that.

You are a dancer. If you had to create a dance for SA and the World cup , What would it entail :)
Well I would have so much to work with as far as incorporating all the different cultures in our wonderful country has to offer.
It would be one of a kind, I wouldn’t just be a dance it would be an exhibition of all the amazing talent in South Africa.
There would be lots of color, fireworks etc.
The aim would be to leave the world shocked.

"How would you entice people from around the world to visit SA...?
What I do is to encourage people to travel to our Country when I am abroad and tell them about all the wonderful things we have to offer E.g.: The Kruger Park, Biltong , Braai’s and the fantastic weather.
We have a lot to offer and there is a lot to do here we just have to be as positive and possible about our young Country.

Tell us about one talent that you have that we never able to guess?
I write poetry, nothing I want to get published. Rather than keeping a journal, I do that…to me it’s much more creative. I write about personal experiences…I have been doing it for about nine years, it keeps me sane.

What’s your favourite fashion brand :Wow, there are to many to mention.

The bigger the challenge the greater the opportunity.

Last movie you watched? “Remember Me”- What a good movie but so sad
Robbie Patz is just delicious – I like how they make British boys :-)

What do you do to feel sexy?
I secretly wear lingerie, even is no one is going see it- it’s like a sexy little secret that empowers u!!!

Would you say a woman can learn how to be a model, or modeling is something in the genes? You have it or you don't have it at all? Why do you think so?
I think that if you really want something you will get it no matter what, these days many people offer model training which can teach u certain skills and give you more confidence but ultimately the more professional experience u have the better you get.
….but yes it does help if u do have something Extra to offer.

If you could be anyone famous in the World today, who would you want to be and Why?
Kimora Lee Simons – Just for one day though
She does it all ….I want to know how ,so I can use all her secrets to success.

Are you single? Whilst we on the topic, How important is a guy’s dress sense to you? So PIM can spruce up and impress someone like you. What’s your ideal man?
 I prefer not to discuss my personal life but if you have to know there is a special person in my life at the moment. My interest in a guy is not based on the way he dresses but he has to be presentable.
I do love it when a guy knows how to put a great outfit together and looks good it’s def a perk.
Every guy should have suit that he looks like a Billlion Dollars in.
My ideal man is someone who just gets me, he must make me laugh , his my best friend but still mysterious.

If Candice Brink wanted to impress PIM, What would you do to blow PIM oway on a date....Details please,,,from dressing up to activities
I would take the guy in question to a Skid pad where he could pick the sports car of his choice and go crazy for a couple of hours.
While he was doing that I would be getting ready for our date & I would pull out the stops for this one.
Little Black Dress, Heels, lingerie etc.
The date would be at his favorite restaurant but if I really liked him I would cook for him @ MY PLACE……

Good luck Candice.PIM wishes all the success in the future

CANDIKATS PROMOTIONS

http://www.candikats.co.za/

PIM caught up with Model and Owner of Candikats Promotions Katya Pappalardo and found out whats been going on in the world of promotions

Hi Katya.Welcome..You are a leading model and energetic career women with your promotional company Candikats..Tell us more about Candikats and what you offer?
katya: Candikats Promotions is a niche promotional modeling agency which specialises in VIP hosts and hostesses for corporate events, launches, awards evenings, golf days and expos. Casting agencies also send us briefs, so we get modeling jobs too! And Candikats launched the Candicaddies (specialised golf day course hostesses) in 2009...

Can you mention some of the leading clients that Candikats has taken care of, over the years?
Gosh, we've had hundred of clients over the years, but some of the better known ones are Richemont International (Mont Blanc, Cartier, Panerai etc), the ICC, PSL, Cricket SA, Vodacom, Namibian Breweries, Luxottica Eyewear (Ray Ban, Arnette etc.) to name a few..

What are some of the most memmorable experiences you have encountered as owner of Candikats
Memorable experiences...ha ha...washing car windows in our bras for National Cleavage Day at Grayston/Rivonia intersection years ago..we made the front page of the newspaper :). And singlehandedly organising 60 promoters working simultaneously for the same 5 minutes on two consecutive days over 6 different regions during the Super 12 and Tri Nations Rugby, which spanned over 3 months! It is always lovely to see my ladies on TV during our countless awards ceremonies which we have done over the years.

 And er....... well some of the hair raising moments ?
Well...there is nothing like someone letting you know laaaast minute that she won't be at a promotion...or even worse, not bothering to let you know, or simply forgetting that she was meant to work, and going to Durban for the week instead!! I had to do a promotion myself 2 weeks ago, and I am 36!! Ha ha!! It is quite an adrenalin rush, I must say. But I have been called a miracle worker by past clients, as I tend to work rather well under pressure, and finding replacements last minute is something I have had to do many many MANY times over the years!

 How has this type of business evolved over the years, considering these days we have powerful social networking tools like facebook, and twitter as well as the tremendous opportunities companies are offering these days in terms of Marketing?
I think in order for promotional companies to stay in business, they have to specialise, as there are millions of us around these days. When I started my business, I was literally one of three promotional companies!! In the beginning we did every type of promotion, including intersections and in-stores, but I must be honest, my staff much prefer the more upmarket type of promotion, and frankly, so do I! Social networking can be useful if you are trying to ascertain availability of staff really quickly, as many staff members are surfing the net during lectures ha ha!

What inspired you to follow in  this career path..I know you a model..Youve been FHMS 100 most sexiest..you campaigning this year..Oh whilst we on this readers please vote for KP....

Vote www.fhm.co.za/fhm-100-sexiest and Type Katya P in the boxes

Also vote for Katya in Also vote for Katya in Sports Illustrated

http://www.sinewmodelsearch.co.za/model/?model_id=1056

What inspired you?
Necessity inspired me Naseem. I couldn't get a job after achieving two degrees and a diploma..but modeling opened many doors for me, and it opened the door to promotional work..which literally inspired the beginning of my business. Yes please everyone, vote for me!! I am trying to show South Africa that women improve with age, since I am one of the older contenders. I have been on the 100 Sexiest list for two years running, and I've been nominated as a contender again by my amazing fans, so let's hope I make the cut again. I'm presenting on radio on 93.8fm Radio Midrand at present, and I honestly think that all publicity is good publicity, even the slightly risque variety...there is a time and place, and featuring in 100 Sexiest suits me just fine!! :) www.fhm.co.za/fhm-100-sexiest/ and I'm also trying my luck at the Sports Illiustrated New Model Search (I was shortlisted for their 'Beauties of Sport' last year).


Ok so say a reader wants to be part of this awesome promotional agency..What do we do.What are the steps and opportunities that lie in wait?
Aspiring promotional models should email me photos, but in all honesty, the economic climate has caused the industry to quieten down tremendously. Also, Candikats clients expect a particular calibre, and though beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder, clients always ask to see photos first, so please make sure the ones you send me are awesome :)
And as for opportunities, well life is what you make it, so keep your eyes and ears open. Of course, most agencies, including my own, frown upon exchanging details with clients, as obviously stealing clients from one's boss is unethical, but you just never know and you could be in the right place at the right time and land up with another Charlize story...

Any future developments on the horizon Kats?
As I mentioned, I am currently presenting on Radio Midrand 93.8fm and I absolutely love it. I hope that since modeling relies on eternal youth (though Photoshop is a blessing ha ha), at least my voice won't age, so there might be a longer lifespan for that angle of my career. I'm not saying I don't want to be on TV, because of course I do. I don't know any model who doesn't!

With your experience that you have built up over the years why would you reccommend Candikats to prospective clients.
Candikats Promotions has stood the test of time. There are many fly-by-nighters, and you won't believe how many of my promoters have gone into competition with me over the years. This business is about patience and logistics. One needs patience in order to deal with flighty students, who would seriously rather go partying than arrive on time for a job the next day. And, logistics is key. One literally needs to be able to juggle people, and jobs, and to make sure that the jobs are filled by the people who best fit the spec.

JACQUELINE BOTHA

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


PIM: Hi Jacqueline Thank you for gracing PIM.........all the way from PE.Tell us more about yourself? Tell us more about your modeling. How did it start?jacqueline:Yes, I am from Port Elizabeth. I still live here.I started modeling when I was 10 years old, I entered a beauty pageant and came second. I stopped when I was 17 and now I'm back in FULL swing.

PIM is honored to have you! Your ambitions and goals as a model?I would love to win the FHM Model search for 2010. This will open so many doors for me as a model. In 10 years from now... I would love to do presenting or acting.



What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
I love meeting interesting and artistic people in the industry. I love the camera, it's fun to flirt with it. I hate the fact that there is a stigma attached to 'models'.

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 is major competition. Especially since I come from a smaller city. We don't have as much exposure.

So suppose you win FHM MODELS Jacqueline, you are probably on a stringent fitness regime. What are you doing to maintain that hot bod?
Besides work and photo shoots, I gym and run. It's a lifestyle of healthy eating and loads of training!!

Is there any one you would like to meet right now? And If you were invisible for a day? Where would you wanna be?
I would love to meet Nelson Mandela. He has made a huge impact on the world.
If I was invisible for a day, I would love to visit the Pentagon and the White House!!! Should be very juicy!

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 is hectic. I go out every weekend to a club of choice and hand out voting cards. I have put up posters and I am constantly on the internet chatting to fans. Asking people you don't know, to vote for you is a little tricky. I do a photo shoot every fortnight to keep fans interested and to build my portfolio.


My dream shoot would be in Thailand on a beach with a huge python. Very SEXY!Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and
then a guys?
My favourite part on my body is my buttocks. A whole lotta booty ;-) On a guy, their back and stomach. Man lines!!

What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on you?.
It's got to be..." Liewe vadar, jy's mooi". Very sad!

If you were a tour operator and had to entice people from around the World
to visit South Africa ,PE in particular. How would you promote it?
I would use the laid back atmosphere of P.E as a selling point. Our coastline is reknowned for whale watching, fishing, surfing and our golden sandy beaches. P.E is rich in heritage and hosts the Donkin Reserve, built in memory of Elizabeth Donkin, who Port Elizabeth was named after. Port Elizabeth's Boardwalk Casino is a real tourist hit. Not only is it situated on one of the most popular beaches (Shark Rock), but it is made up of shop, kids rides and games, food stalls and even a cinema Stars*

Tell us one talent that you have:I can sing like an angel!

Whats ur favourite fashion brand: Versace
Your favourite Car: Audi R8Fav Food: Mom's stew
Fav Drink: Sweet tea
Fav perfume on guy: David Beckham Eau de Toilette
Perfume on me:Jadore by Dior
Fav club:My parents club rocks, Pool City
Fav restaurant: Shannah's Portuguese Restaurant, I am going there right after this;-)
One wish you would like to come through.?: I wish that I could be discovered by a Top modelling Agent!
A quote that you always live by: I don't live by quotes, I make them up as I live my life.
If we snuck into your bedroom, what could we find you sleeping in?Haaa haaa, men's boxers and a scruffy top that's too short.

What type of music have you been listening too lately: I like Prime Circle's new albumLast movie you watched?I watched Twilight, New Moon yesterday
.
What do you do to feel sexy? I dress up and go out to feel sexy!

Are you single? IF PIM had the power to create the perfect man. What
type of features do you suggest we add :)?
I am engaged
The perfect man must have a chiseled jaw and a body that's extremely well built. When he smiles, his face must light up the world and he must be blond with blue/green eyes!
 
I don't know what his name is but he is the model for Muk hair products. haa haa, they call him Muk Boy;-)

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?
You have to be yourself. Not arrogant or over confident. Just polite, well mannered and don't forget to spoil me rotten!

What will you do if you win FHM MODELS 2010 and how important would
it be for you to win such an elusive competition?
This is VERY important to me! If I had to win... I'd die of shock!! then I'll come back to life and show SA what SEXY really is!!!

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