\n@ryanxvalentine<\/a><\/p>\n

Place of Origin:<\/strong>
\nMiddle of nowhere, AKA Illinois. <\/p>\n

Ethnic Origin:<\/strong>
\nA little mix of Irish and German.<\/p>\n

Birthsign:<\/strong>
\nSagittarius<\/p>\n

How discovered:<\/strong>
\nI was stopped by a photographer, at first I thought he wanted to take pictures of my horrible dance moves but then he asked if I ever thought about modeling. <\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nNot to sound cliched but I really do love spending time with family and friends. Sure they can be stressful at times but I couldn’t live without them. They helped me become who I am as a person today. My favorite person would have to be my mom, she truly is a blessing. I mean looking back on it I had some very treacherous outfit decisions but she was still saying “work work work.” Even if she didn’t mean it, I love her.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nA lot of Broods, a new up and coming group. As well as a girl by the name Olivia O’Brien. Her sound is different, but a good different. <\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nI’m currently obsessed with Chopped Junior. For some reason it makes me feel good knowing I can’t cook but kids who are 12 can. <\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nI can’t live without anything Mario Badescu related. His whole skin care line has really helped my skin. <\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nProbably trying to figure out how I could be on Chopped Junior. <\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nMy mom, she’s a funny girl.. but really mom, some of those fashion choices… they need to go<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nI love it, it feels good knowing my face can get me things (I’M KIDDING). I just recently shot with Wonderland Mag and I had tons of fun, the clothes were stunning.<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nThe quiet, simple life, it’s a lot more slow paced. We also don’t have traffic, thank god.<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nI’d really love to work with Saint Laurent or Gucci. I admire their work, they are some of my favorite brands.<\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nThailand, I think it’d be quite different from the States. Change isn’t always bad. Plus rice and orange chicken is life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
