Los Angeles Firm Inc. Magazine March/April 2016 | Page 56

Who inspired you to become a model? Since I was a little girl my aunts used to always tell me that I should be a model but I am short and curvy so back then I had no chance. Once I turned 20,the urban model popularity boomed and I was blessed enough to be recognized for my curves! One thing about me is that I am not restricted to Urban modeling for the fact that I have a “different look” and a face that can be admired by the fashion world also. I would have to say that at the time I looked up to girls like Vida Guerra,Jennifer Lopez and Daphne Joy! Did you ever think of giving up on modeling? There have been MANY times that I wanted to give up. This industry is full of snakes and two-faced people so only the strong survive. It’s very hard to keep a healthy relationship also because jealousy comes into play but when you love your job as much as I do then you sacrifice a lot to keep it. How many photo shoots have you done? I can’t count anymore lol!! What is your favorite shoot of your career thus far? That’s hard to answer but I love the creativity of photographers Ohrangutang @ohrangutang and @Wanthy_d . THE REAL LOS ANGELES FIRM INC MAGAZINE MARCH / APRIL 2016 What’s on your plate for 2016? 2016 is going to be a big year! I have many projects including acting on my plate! I want to get more in shape and concentrate on being healthy! You can’t be successful if you don’t have your health! Did you ever think in your wildest dreams you would make it this far? Ummm,in my dreams yes! Lol I never thought my dreams would really come true! I grew up the hard way and worked my ass off my whole life because that’s the type of person I am. I always wanted a Mercedez,big house,pool and to travel but never thought I would have all of that. I DO NOW!!!! I have these blessings not only because of my looks but because I know what to do with my looks and how to be a business woman! What motivates you? My son,the people who said I couldn’t do it,my creative mind that won’t let me settle for less,the chase of success,the people that I help financially,the feeling of not needing a man to pay my bills and helping women of different shapes and sizes to feel confident, all motivate me!

Yes,I went to University of Houston for 2 years and majored in psychology but didn’t finish. I got pregnant at 19 and stayed in school the entire time but after my son was born it was just too hard to be a mom and go to school. After that my modeling took off and I didn’t have time for school but I do want to go back one day! What would be your dream shoot? (Location, wardrobe, hair stylist, makeup artist and photographer?) That’s a hard one because I’v done so many shoots but I would like to do an underwater shoot and an ancient 1800’s big ball gown artistic shoot! I have always loved how women looked and dressed back then. How many magazines have you featured in and how many covers have you graced? I lost count but you can see most of them on my site JessicaKylie.com What is the most you have been paid as a model? I guess $10,000. What would you say to aspiring model’s? I would say if modeling is your dream then stay focused,move to a city wh ere you will have work,don’t get caught up in the fast life,don’t take pics that you don’t want to haunt you later and always have access to your booking email even if you have management.
