career, what has been your most memorable modeling experience? M.S.: Ohhh, that’s an easy question! Definitely the “Miss Virtual World 2010” Beauty Pageant. Wow, it brings back a lot of great memories. Not only the things I’ve learned and the great experience, but also the people I’ve met. Some of the finalists of MVW 2010 are still close friends to me. Unfortunately I only made it to Top 10, but it didn’t matter. I’ve learned so much and I’m still grateful for that. I just wish I could to it all over again! J.C.: I love your spirit! You have a very positive outlook on competitions and I’m sure that lends well to your modeling success. What advice would you give to someone interested in joining this contest? M.S.: Create an extremely, unique outfit.. From the Couture AVENUE of course :) Take a quality picture of your style.. And try it out! You have nothing to loose, only to win. If you don’t make it the first time, don’t worry. Try again and learn from your first experience. I didn’t make it my first try either, but I knew what I did wrong afterwards. Never give up, that’s the key!
J.C.: Your energy is truly contagious. Melanie let me say congratulations and thank you again for your time and in closing one final question I like to ask all the finalists. Where do you see yourself in a year? M.S.: In a year.. Well, I assume like every finalist, I hope to become the face of Couture AVENUE. And, I hope I’m still able to model and hopefully, be a role model for many aspiring models as well. I love my modeling career and I feel honored and grateful for being able to showcase the amazing creations of every designer on the grid. -Are YOU the next face of Couture AVENUE?
