Where should we begin with the beautiful Alexis?
1. Where do you see yourself in the next five years? Whew! Where do I start?! In the next five years I see myself having become a successful model and securing major commercial endorsements, starring in a film, designing a shoe line (I'm such a shoe fiend), VJ'ing for a major TV network and possibly producing a reality show -hmmm maybe a family based show?? I definitely have some things in the works! 2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you and why? That's a tough question, it's hard for me to choose just one place! Well, I love the city where I'm from so I'll definitely have a place in either DC or Maryland, and New York and London because I think those would be great locations for my future endeavors.
3. What advice would you give new models starting out? This an extremely last minute industry, so the best advice I can give is to always be prepared. You should try to look your best at all times. You NEVER know when that call is gonna come and you are your best marketing tool. Also, you should always have a separate bag or suitcase packed for your modeling gigs and castings including things like seasonal shoes, a few different wardrobe options, comps cards, pictures, etc. If you do these things you can save yourself alot of time and headache. 4. What are 5 words that describe you? 1. Ambitious 2. Spontaneous 3. Intelligent 4. Sexy 5. Optimistic 5. Once you are fully established in the industry, what are your plans for giving back to the community? This is one of my favorite questions because I'd like to give back to my community in a major way, especially the youth. I don't see as many opportunities as I'd like to for the youth to grow and develop their talents. I'd like to create several mentoring programs so that I can help them plan and develop their future. Also, DC has the highest rate for AIDS/HIV cases, this epidemic is SO serious. I'd like to mentor the youth on their sexual health and promote sexual wellness. In fact, I've already created a PSA and working to get things off the ground. 6. Hobbies/Interests/Activities: Other than being a workaholic, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends traveling, shopping and trying new things. We can go see a movie, go out to eat or hang gliding for all I care. LOL I'm pretty adventurous so I'm usually up for anything.
