Sometimes Super Models are not so super. Besides a photo in a high fashion ad, very little is often known about their personality. A few up and comers actually have a beautiful personality along with a great look and are utilizing social networks to broaden their exposure. The Lovely Chanel is one of the latest models who is following this path to fame. I’m always on the look out for a new restaurant, hip hop act and yes even new models. Hopefully my interview with Lovely Chanel will offer you some insight on the life of an aspiring model.
Serious Bok: Tell us about yourself. Where are you from how did you get started modeling? How long have you been doing this?
Lovely Chanel: WELL I’M 24YRS OLD FROM DALLAS TEXAS. I GOT INTO MODELING AROUND 2006 AFTER MY MOM STARTED TAKING ME TO CASTING CALLS. MY CAREER DIDN’T START HITTING HARD UNTIL 2009. I’VE BEEN IN SOME OF THE DALLAS LOCAL ARTIST VIDEOS SUCH AS YOUNG BLACK- BALLING ALL WEEK DIRECTED BY KANG BEAR, D.A. SQUAD-TROUBLE, (VIDEO SHOULD BE RELEASE SOME TIME NEXT WEEK), G-SQUAD-STUPID FLY, BUSTDOWN CLICC- PARTY HARD, GUAP -THROWING SINGLES & LAST BUT NOT LEAST MR. WIDE FRAME-PULL OUT THE MAGNUM. I’M STILL WORKING HARD TO REACH THE TOP. I ENJOY MODELING BUT FAMILY & MY COLLEGE DEGREE COMES FIRST. I LIVE EVERY DAY AS IF IT’S MY LAST I CHERISH EVERYTHING I LEARN IN THIS INDUSTRY.
Seems like everyone who takes pictures is calling themselves a model. What separates you from the pack?
MODELING IS NOT ABOUT HAIR & MAKEUP IT’S AN ART. IT TELLS A BOOK & EACH POSE HAS A CHAPTER THAT’S YOUR STORY. IT’S ABOUT HARD WORK & IF YOU CAN REALLY STAND OUT FROM BEING JUST “A MODEL”. YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SEE YOUR WORK & SAY OK I WANT HER EVERY TIME. PEOPLE SEE MY TWEETS I’M AT PHOTO SHOOTS, NETWORKING OR CONNECTING WITH MY FANS KNOWING WHAT DIRECTION YOUR GOING IN SUCH AS FASHION,VIDEOS,PROMO ETC,. MOST IMPORTANTLY CAN YOU TAKE GOOD/BAD CRITICISM? NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO THINK YOUR SO BEAUTIFUL. WHEN YOU DECIDED TO PURSUE THAT MODELING INDUSTRY YOU HAVE TO WATCH WHAT YOU DO, SAY AND CARRY YOURSELF BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR YOU TO MESS UP SO THEY CAN PUT YOU DOWN.
The photos I have seen of you have been of high quality,sexy, but not trashy booty pics. What keeps you from portraying a scandalous image for attention?
WELL MY PHOTOGRAPHER IS DERRICK D. BROWN. HIS PHOTOS ARE IMAGES OF WHAT IS SEXY,NUDE ART,BASICALLY HOW A WOMAN STARTS & END HER DAY ETC BUT IT’S DONE TASTEFULLY. I’M A MOM SO AT THE END OF DAY I HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT ONE DAY MY KIDS WILL SEE THOSE PHOTOS. I JUST FEEL LIKE I DON’T HAVE TO SHOW MY ASS OFF TO SELL MY PHOTOS. TO BE HONEST I’M VERY DIFFERENT I’M 6’0 & I GET SO MANY DM’S & COMMENTS ON HOW MEN LOVE MY HEIGHT & MY LONG LEGS JUST TO SEE ME IN SEXY HEELS MAKES THEIR DAY. I EVEN HAVE FEMALES THAT GIVE ME COMPLIMENTS AS WELL. SO YEAH SEX MAY SELL BUT MY WHOLE BODY IS MY PACKAGE THAT’S SELLING. YES I’M TALL BUT I’M CURVED IN THE RIGHT PLACES THAT GIVES MY BODY THAT ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
If you could do a photo shoot on location anywhere in the world where would that be?
I WOULD HAVE TO SAY DISNEY WORLD BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS TOLD MY KIDS THAT IF I ACCOMPLISH MY GOALS THAT’S MY DREAM VACATION FOR ME & MY FAMILY. I WOULD WANT THAT SHOOT TO CAPTURE ME FOR WHO I AM AS A MOM,DAUGHTER,SISTER,MODEL. A WOMAN WHO LIKES TO LIVE LIFE TO FULLEST.
Besides modeling what is on the agenda?
BEING A MOTHER,NURSING SCHOOL FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANT
I see your not all tattooed up. No judging I don’t have any either. Not my thing. Why no ink?
ACTUALLY I HAVE ONE ON MY LOWER BACK BUT IT’S MY MIDDLE NAME. IT’S NOT HUGE AT ALL I DID THAT TO GET OVER THE FEAR OF GETTING INKED BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY PLANS FOR MORE.
When people think cigars they usually think old republican in a expensive suit. What do you think when you see a modern young cigar smoking wine sipping gentleman?
I NEVER BEEN A BIG FAN OF THAT BUT IF HE DOES IT I JUST WANT HIM TO RESPECT ME & NOT SMOKE AROUND ME. NOW WHILE I’M NOT AROUND THEN WE ARE OKAY BECAUSE HE IS IN HIS FREE TIME. THE WINE DOESN’T BOTHER ME LONG AS HE’S NOT A HEAVY WINE DRINKER LOL
In your bio on OneShotPromo.com you describe yourself as relaxed,upscale & 1stclass. I sum that up as Luxe. So I’m going to ask some Luxe questions to see how you handle a few situations. This is not a test. LoL
OKAY I’M READY LET’S GO 
You and friends plan to book a vacation 3 months from now. When the day arrives some people are not ready to book. What do you do?
I WOULD UNDERSTAND EVERYONE’S MONEY ISSUES & I WOULD JUST MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR ME,MY KIDS,& FAMILY TO TRAVEL. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TO TRAVEL & A FAMILY VACATION IS ALWAYS AWESOME IN MY BOOK.
Your allergic to seafood but a guy takes you to a seafood restaurant anyway.
I WOULD JUST TELL HIM WE COULD DO DESSERT & DRINKS NO BIG DEAL. I’M REAL LAID BACK NOT PICKY & IF HE PAYING I’M NOT COMPLAINING. THAT’S A GENTLEMEN. BUT I DO LOVE SEAFOOD. LOL
A world famous photographer promises fame ,but asks you to pose nude. How do you handle that?
WELL I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH ONE OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN DALLAS TEXAS “DERRICK D. BROWN SINCE JANUARY 2011 AND I HAVE POSE NUDE BEFORE. AT FIRST IT WAS A BIRTHDAY PIC FOR MYSELF I WAS JUST HAVING FUN BUT THEN I BECAME VERY COMFORTABLE IN MY OWN SKIN & EVERY SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN OK.
Your going to dinner you come out the house dressed to go to Nobu & the guy pulls up to Applebees. Now what?
WELL LIKE I STATED BEFORE I’M NOT PICKY. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO RESPECT A MAN’S BUDGET. THAT DOESN’T MEAN HE CHEAP AT ALL I JUST WANT HIM TO RESPECTFUL & SHOW ME A GOOD TIME. TO BE HONEST I NEVER BEEN TO APPLEBEE’S, BUT I LOVE CHEDDARS FOOD PLACE.
Would you prefer one pair of Red Bottoms or 15 pair of Payless shoes?
WOW NOW THAT’S A TRICK QUESTION LOL I WOULD HAVE TO SAY RED BOTTOMS BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE THEM DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT DESCRIBES ME VERY FUN SPIRIT.
Quality over quantity! It appears you are upscale and 1st class. You are a lot nicer than I. You’re such a lady. I feel mean now. Thank you for making time for Broad and Luxe. Any words for your fans?”
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS TO ALL OF MY FANS & SUPPORTERS I READ ALL YOUR COMMENTS,EMAILS, ETC,. ALL OF THAT IS MY MOTIVATION. I LOVE EACH & EVERY ONE. CONTINUE TO FOLLOW ME ON MY JOURNEY & A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO MOKIE (D.A.SQUAD) HE PUSHES ME TO STAY FOCUS WHEN EVER I HAVE BEEN OFF TRACK HE CONTACTS ME FOR THAT SERIOUS TALK & I LOVE HIM FOR THAT!!!!!!
