I remember my uncle asking me if I knew, but I never did. The only time I realized was when I would have class, and a teacher would do roll-call, landing on my name and saying it aloud, then asking me if I was related to Red and\/or Arthur Prysock, my grandfather and uncle. I would say yes, only for them to respond energetically about how great their music was back in the day and how well known they were and surprisingly still are to some. The other students would joke about me being \u201cfamous,\u201d but I found it more annoying because it wasn\u2019t a joke to me. I then began researching and found out their discography was extensive. My grandfather Red Prysock was a saxophonist with a hit song called \u201cHand Clappin,\u201d which just makes you want to get up and start dancing. He was also a part of Tiny Bradshaw\u2019s band in the 50s. My uncle Arthur Prysock was a vocalist with such a calming voice that I tend to go to sleep to it, haha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Who is someone you admire and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs generic as this answer may be to some, but I admire my momma. For starters, she has three sons as a single mother, which speaks for itself. This woman just beat breast cancer and still wakes up at 4 am for work, you know, after recovering for months. She has literally sacrificed her life for my brothers and me, giving us more than needed. I could say I admire someone I don\u2019t know and have never met, but you only are given one mother, and mine has never let me down. If it weren\u2019t for my mom I probably wouldn\u2019t be here. I admire my mom and honestly owe her a whole new life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What\u2019s a story your family\/friends like to tell about you?<\/strong><br \/>\nI honestly don\u2019t know if this counts as a story, but they love to point out my hustle and work ethic. My mom tells friends that if I want something and have my eyes set on it, I get it. She would joke about how I got into the high school I wanted to attend without her help and how she found out about it after I had already been accepted. Friends usually say my hustle is unmatched compared to some people today. One night at 8 pm, I parted ways from a job of 3 years and found a new one 60 minutes later, making me very late for a date, hahaha. I would have never imagined myself being a model, but there are definitely things I want to achieve, and best believe they will happen one way or another. You don\u2019t know my body, but you will.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"modelname\">Finley<\/span><br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-68368 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/finleydahl_cjprysock04.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Finley Dahl\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/finleydahl_cjprysock04-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-68377\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-68377'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Finley Dahl\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/finleydahl_cjprysock03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Finley Dahl\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/finleydahl_cjprysock03-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-68378\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-68378'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Finley Dahl\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/finleydahl_cjprysock05.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Finley Dahl\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/finleydahl_cjprysock05-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-68376\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-68376'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Finley Dahl\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nFinley Dahl (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/finleydahll\">@finleydahll<\/a>) \u2014 177 cm \/ 5&#8217;9.5&#8243; \u2014 American from Seattle, Washington, USA \u2014 born August 30th \u2014 they\/them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/Heffner-Management\">Heffner Management (Seattle &#8211; mother agency)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/Wilhelmina-New-York\">Wilhelmina New York<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are three interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1.

I really love drawing characters with creepy facial expressions. I\u2019m inspired by Stephen King\u2019s original character Pennywise and Tim Burton\u2019s animation in Corpse Bride.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"modelname\">Megan<\/span><br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-5' class='gallery galleryid-68368 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_megandevine01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Megan Devine\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_megandevine01-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-68384\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-68384'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Megan Devine\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_megandevine03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Megan Devine\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_megandevine03-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-68382\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-68382'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Megan Devine\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_megandevine02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Megan Devine\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_megandevine02-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-68383\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-68383'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Megan Devine\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nMegan Devine (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/megandevine__\">@megandevine__<\/a>) \u2014 178 cm \/ 5&#8217;10&#8221; \u2014 Canadian from Whitby, Ontario, Canada \u2014 born November 4th \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/massardo-model-management\">Massardo Model Management (Toronto &#8211; mother agency)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/INDEPENDENT-MODEL-MANAGEMENT\">Independent Model Management (Milan)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/forte-model-management\">Forte Model Management (London)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/fashion-cult-models\">Fashion Cult Models (Athens)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/sutherland-models\">Sutherland Models (Toronto)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nI became a model by hanging out with a group of mutual friends.

After a quick, fun chat, she told me that her husband had a modeling agency and asked if I was interested in going to Amsterdam to talk to her husband, a.k.a. my future manager. After that conversation, life went like flash, and I still think it is funny how my life changed like that by tapping a couple of beers at a festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@modelsdot From around the world Models.com brings you six faces who were all discovered by chance. \u2728 For more on these rookies go to models.com&#47;newfaces \ud83d\uddfa #MDCSelects #newfaces #mdc #modelsdotcom #foryoupage #scouting \u266c NOSTYLIST &#8211; Destroy Lonely Balthazar Who: Balthazar Legars (@balthazar_lgs) \u2014 186 cm \/ 6&#8217;1&#8243; \u2014 French from Nantes, France \u2014 born December [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":68392,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5440],"tags":[5881,5878,5291,5876,5879,5596,420,3020,5875,5890,5882,5874,1801,5877,822,5223,4632,3720,30,293],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68368"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68368"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68453,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68368\/revisions\/68453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
