1. i am a model but i really wish i was a photographer
i've been modeling since i could walk. some local photographer saw me at the store while my parents were shopping. he handed them a business card. the rest is history. sort of, but not really. my parents auditioned me for a couple shoots. then we went into beauty pageants as well as modeling. as it turned out, i had really good potential. i was winning beauty pageants and getting regular modeling gigs. by the time i was old enough to make my own choices about my career, the modeling life was so ingrained into every fiber of my being that i couldn't imagine doing anything else. besides, it made good money and it definitely made my parents happy. but for the longest time, all i could think about doing was being the one taking the photos. so when it came time for college, i packed up my bags. i am currently attending new york university and pur
2. i was born and raised in los angelos, california
while i am now a new yorker at heart, i wasn't actually born here. i was born in los angelos to my parents lisa and carlos flores. i have two other much younger siblings, they are twins and their names are francisco and camille. i am the only one living in new york right now, so i only get to see them once or twice a year. i guess i had a pretty normal childhood, or at least normal as far as my family is concerned. for me, pageants were as normal as breathing or playing hula hoop. i can't say that anything really major happened until the incident my senior year. but i'll tell you about that later. i only really moved to new york so that i could maybe get into more rigorous modeling and also what i needed more than anything was to get away from people who knew about my incident. as much as i pitied myself , i didn't think i could stand anymore people staring at me. as it is, i'm actually pretty content with my new york life.
3. i have male issues
you know how i said i was going to explain to you about the incident that happened during my senior year of high school, yeah this is where this finally comes in. during my senior year i was dating a guy on the football team and i remember being really happy because it was a football player and i was just the shy girl who was also a model. he was really nice to me and we dated for about six months when we finally decided to go all the way. which turned out to be a big mistake. the entire thing had just been one huge joke to see who could get into the shy models pants. as it turned out, he'd been taping the entire thing as it happened. and then, not only did he show it to his friends, but he posted it on youtube. if i hadn't had a couple weeks left of school, i don't think i would have been able to stay. i couldn't take the cat calling and the jokes and the laughter and the names. i didn't want to press charges, but my parents didn't give me a choice. he was sent to jail, but i haven't been the same since. i do have a boyfriend but we haven't gone all the way. and every time we've tried, i freak out. i can't take it and i pull away. i haven't told him yet because i'm scared.
4. i am actually pretty fun
i know it probably doesn't seem like it, but I'm really just a giant goofball. There's nothing I enjoy more than having a little fun. But of course, this is still only with people I know and trust. But as long as I'm around people I know, I love to get down and have fun. Take me to an amusement park and I'll ride the scariest rides. Take me to the ocean and I'll swim with sharks. I also happen to be a huge fan of Disney, especially since most of my friends tend to call me minnie. And I'm not especially worried about admitting that over the years I happened to have collected a giant collection of Minnie's. I'm the kind of girl that can't seem to drag herself out of bed in the morning but once I get coffee in me and my anxiety pills, I'm bouncing off the walls. Though that's a good day, best case scenario. I try to be positive, despite how many reasons I have to be anything but. I figure if I stay negative, then my anxiety gets worse. People have said I'm actually quite nice once they get past the shy side of me.
5. i tend to live in my own bubble
Ever since the incident, I have a hard time focusing on anyone that isn't close to me or in my own social circle. It's not because I'm being mean, I just don't know who to trust and who not to trust. And unless I know, I just don't care. People nowadays tend to describe me as shy or withdrawn from the rest of the world. Even my modeling agency had noticed the change. They began hooking me up with jobs that required demure and haughty as opposed to confident and playful. I can't say I mind, as it generally means wearing more closed as opposed to less. And I'm okay with that. Enough of the world has already seen me without clothes on, no need to make it the entire world. I do rather prefer to have a small circle of really close friends I trust over having millions of different friends I can't trust. I was diagnosed with anxiety After the incident and I've been taking anxiety pills since. Sometimes I'll forget and I'll get really jumpy again, even though I'm mostly calm now. If you sneak up behind me, I might still scream. And of course there's the fact that I still can't go all the way with a guy without freaking out.
