Many people would want to be a model. Modeling can be financially rewarding and can also provide many other benefits. Many find the profession exciting and enjoy the varied experiences while exploring new cultures/countries, meeting new people and most importantly being part of the fascinating fashion industry.
Modeling is not only about smiles, sweet face and beautiful body; your patience, listening skills and general altitude are very important. On my journey for discovering new fresh talents, I came across this pretty, lovely, gorgeous good looking, fine looking striking sexy lady by name Carene Nforbinson who is into modeling.
I sat her down for a couple of questions about her career. She opened up about everything from her family background, education, beauty and so on. Some of her answers may surprise even the most die hard pays...so please check out the interview below...............

Well thanks sir, the privilege is mine as well....hahaha....., you seem happy, what's going on... ... Hahaha! Well I am a happy person, that is in my DNA, and happiness seems to be contagious. So if you're friends with somebody who is happy, it actually increase your own happiness.. She noted..... Wow that was smart of you..... Exclusive interview with Miss. C N.

Uh! Hmm, that's a tough question.... ..hail from Bafut, Bamenda CMR. I am the 2nd of five kids. Four girls....lol....and a boy. I reside in Dallas, TX with my family. My Dad is a recently retired Colonel of the Cameroon Marine forces. I come from an artistically inclined family....everybody is a great lover of arts. I was raised Catholic. I am family oriented.

Q2.....why do you choose to do fashion modeling? Why are you interested in this career?.........

I made great friends, great relationships and timeless memories. I attended Richland Community College Dallas, TX and Platt college of Nursing Dallas, TX. I didn't take any modeling courses. It just came from within.. I changed my major to computer science. What a big relief.... I wasn't really into nursing....
Q4....What are your golds as a fashion model?....
I think It's important to be authentic in the most competitive way. To be very successful in all my artistic ventures. To be a fitting model, you know fitting model, is a model who works with fashion designers and/or clothing manufacturer. To be a business woman owner of a super model industry. Lol, I will keep pushing through those doors, doing what it takes and working hard in order to attain my objective. It is a rough ride, but I am not ready to stop.

Typically, during summer, I run five times a week. I cut off all carbs and sugars. Protein and fiber only. I make my own smoothies and drink'em as my snacks when o get hungry, I eat oatmeal or fibre cereal for breakfast, but I have days that I break by law...hahaha....I call it " me cheat dayz" lol...which is once every two weeks, where I splurge on chocolate, ice cream, cakes and cookies. Sometimes, I can't wait for that 2 dayz to reach, I get so excited like a kid lol.. I often schedule it for Saturday, so I can relax and eat at home all day lol crazy! During winter, I get lazy, I workout 2-3 dayz a week to no dayz at all, but I stay strict as to what I eat.

I rem doing this bikini shoot year ago. During hair and make up, i kept thinking "how am i gonna pull dis off?" I was so terrified i kept drinking water to help me cool off lol, water didn't do the magic.
Next, i asked for a hot pop song to help JumpStart my energy, that too didn't do the trick lol. Then i told myself, if anybody can do it, i can do it. When make-up and hair was over, at that point i knew i had no choice because everyone was waiting on me. I Took off my robe, and there were about close to 10 pple, just standg there and starring at me.
My palms were sweating and my heart was racing so fast, but i had no choice, i had 2 do it. I gathered myself and bravely walked pass'em 'cos you don't wanna give them the impression that, you don't know what you're doing and that you're not up to the task", as i walked pass n stood infront of d camera, it was so uncom4table @ 1st, but after a couple of flicks, i then started flipping my hair 4rm Left n right lol n dat had every1 laughing out loud.
It was tremendously nerve wracking, but an amazing experience. Also last yr summer, 'thru my then, makeup artist' i got to play extra and help out behind d scenes of an independent American movie 'A Christmas Promise' dat was suppose 2 air on lifetime movie networks.
There, i met dis man n woman dat looked so
finely perfect n soooo familiar. Thruout, i kept starring at dem while asking myself 'Wusai i don c dis man n dis woman eyy??" Lol Cos dey looked sooooo familiar but i cldnt place my finger on it, as 2 where i had seen dem. Thruout this time, it didn't still occur 2 me dat, dat was Charisma Carpenter from
the movie "the expendables n Patrick Muldoon.
Then, i cornered my mkup artist n asked.. n she replied That's Charisma! Charisma Carpenter from the expendables n dat left me in awe. Then, she gave me a rundown, of all of Charisma n Patrick's movies both on TV shows n on d big screen. That was a terrifying, yet amazing mind blowing, experience, 2 witness these talented Hollywood actors, practice lines in front of u, change wardrobes for diff scenes, the camera crew......n all dat goes on set of a huge movie production. I had fun....n the Actors themselves were soooo cool.
