Our Celebrity this week  is Dania Denise  Top Model from the United State of America She shares with Schoolboy her Experiences so far in the Industry. Enjoy!

Let us meet you?

Hello! My name is Dania Denise and I am a professional model from California in the United States.

Educational Background?

I have a B.A. in Radio/TV with an emphasis in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Journalism from San Francisco State University.

What led you into Modeling?

I received a flyer in the mail for a casting call in San Francisco when I was 15. It seemed like something fun to try at the time so my parents took me, I submitted a snapshot, got called back a few days later for an interview and signed with my first talent agency shortly afterwards.

How long have you been Modeling now?

I’ve been modeling professionally for over 13 years and I love it now more than ever!

What have been your Challenges so far?

So far the biggest and most common challenge has always been my height. I am much shorter than the agency standard for fashion and runway modeling so I am automatically not eligible for a large number of modeling opportunities. If I was able to access those opportunities, I’m confident that my career would be even more successful and I would be better known in the industry. Unfortunately, the modeling world is still not very accepting of shorter models doing the same type of work as the taller, traditional fashion models.

How has it been working with other Models?

I love working with other models. Everyone’s personality is so different and it’s nice to meet people from all walks of life. I keep in touch with many models I’ve worked with in the past and they’ve grown to become very good friends.

What’s your area of Specialization in Modeling?

 

I mainly specialize in commercial/print, catalog, lifestyle, bridal and beauty modeling.

Are you married?

I am not married but I am in a committed relationship with a very supportive boyfriend.

Any plans for marriage?

Right now marriage is not on my list of priorities. I have way too much going on in my life right now to try and focus on that at this time.

How do you cope with your Male fans?

It’s very flattering to have male fans and I get many sweet messages and emails from them. Thankfully they are respectful in their comments and approaches to me. For the few that are too aggressive or even disrespectful about it, I kindly explain to them that I am a lady and they need to address me as such and if they can’t respect me and my relationship, then it is best if they don’t contact me. But so far I haven’t had any major problems from male fans.

How do you unwind?

I am very much a homebody. I enjoy watching movies at home instead of going to the theater or settling down with a good book. I’m always on the go and around many people so I feel most comfortable at home where I have my personal space. It may sound silly but I find it very therapeutic to clean…I’m a neat freak so when I know my house is clean, I can breathe easier, haha.

What are your Hobbies?

I love to read, play video games, catch up on my favorite TV shows and cook (I have a great fondness for baking cupcakes!).

What’s your Favorite Color and why?

I’ve always loved the color silver. It’s a color that is very sleek, clean and edgy to me.

What are your Likes & Dislikes?

Likes: food (Japanese, Filipino, Chinese), animals, cartoons, video games, cars/motorcycles, football, hot weather

Dislikes: mean/rude people, spiders, clowns, cold weather/snow

What are you working on presently?

I was just asked to become a regular video blogger for the online modeling community, The Network, which was founded by modeling agent guru, Paul Fisher. I am hoping that my association with the site and the education/advice I provide to other models through the video blogs will increase my online exposure and lead to networking opportunities that can further boost my career, resume and credibility.

What should we be expecting from you in the nearest future?

You can definitely expect to become more familiar with my name and face, as I work towards being hired to represent well known brands/clients not just locally/nationally but eventually internationally as well.

What do you have to say to upcoming models?

Do your homework and learn about the modeling industry. It is not what it appears to be and is not for everyone. Stay true to yourself and work with what you have, instead of wishing for what you don’t.

Your last message for your fans

I am successful not just because of my own efforts but because of the amazing support system I have—not just from my friends and family but those that have never met me in person. I want to say “thank you” to all those that have been so wonderful to me in my career and continue to root for me. I don’t consider myself “famous” so the fact that I have “fans” is so amazing to me!

 Also, I wanted to share my favorite quote: It is better to be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. That is a quote I’ve come to live by and should be something everyone takes to heart, no matter what goals or path they choose to follow in life.

Thanks for your time. We wish you the very best in your Career.
