Ms Sexy but Classy

FU interviewed Danielle aka Ms Sexy but Classy who told us about her forthcoming Calender and why she admires Jordan and Melyssa Ford

How long have you been modelling for?
About a year and a half


Who/What made you want to model?
I felt I had the image for modelling, people have always said I should model. I decided to go for it because I knew I'd enjoy it. You get to meet new people and taking interesting pictures in different locations. I've always wanted to work within the media and entertainment industry.

Have you always been one of those people who just loves to be in frount of the camera (or mirror) posing?
I love posing and messing about at home, but in public I'm quite reserved, but I warm up when the camera starts clicking!

What is it like on set/shoots, there’s a lot of girls, is there any bitchiness?
Yes there's bitchiness sometimes, but never to my face!

Who is your favourite model, do you aspire to be like any model in particular?
I like the fact that Jordan and Melyssa Ford have turned themselves into their own unique brands. They've been able to branch off into other fields and become pioneers within the media and entertainment industry. They've also been able to keep the work coming in and adapt with the times.

Whats your best feature?
It's a draw between my eyes and my bum!

What type of modelling would you never do?
Nude or topless.

Obviously models have to have a tight body, what do you do to keep in shape?
By chance, I do alot of walking. The odd sit up now and then, but I really should start going to the gym regularly.


Most people think that being a model is an easy job, they don’t realize that it’s a lot of hard work and new models face a lot of criticism and rejection are you ready for that?
If I wasn't I would have packed it in already lol! I've dealt with a lot of bull since the start and being in the UK trying to get somewhere in the sexy/glamour side of modelling is very exhausting, but only I know and care about what I am capable of.

There’s loads of girls who want to be the next top model how do you stand out, obviously you're Fabulous and Undiscovered but what makes you so different?
I am hard working, friendly and I have a look that is adaptable.

Who would you like to work with in the future?
Major magazines like King, Smooth mag.

What’s next for you?
I'm supposed to be working on a calendar and new project later on in the year, so watch this space!
