I felt really small during my shoot with Shaq for Toys for Tots. He is soooooo tall! It was a lot of fun though as I got to work with friends.

Shaq was super nice to all of us and he was lots of fun to work with!

My favorite costume I modeled for Party City was the Mini Mouse tutu costume because I loved the ears and bow and Minnie is so cute!
6. What is the best part of shooting for Bob’s Stores?

Shooting for Bob’s stores was fun but it was so hot and we had to wear winter coats! The best part was the fake snow which was so crazy because it was summer. It was so cool to see that.

Filming my Tough Mudder commercial was very interesting. I loved being on a commercial set and had lots of fun with my friend Julian who had to lick a battery.

I’ve worked with so many awesome people that it’s hard to narrow it down! But I love all my friends at Oscar de la Renta as I have shot with them 4 times now and they are so nice. And I’ve loved getting to work with Elizabeth Pettey, Joanna Depa, Zoe Bekovic and Iris Tan on amazing projects. I’ve also gotten to know so many great HMU artists. Just always lucky to meet such amazing people. It’s one of the best parts of the job.
10. Do you have a favorite project that you worked on last year?

I can’t really pick a favorite job. I loved them all! I loved Carters because I loved the babies and seeing my big posters in stores. I always love Oscar. I also got to work for The Childrens Club which was such a fun day and I got to see the hugest poster of myself ever! And I loved working with my friend Alex for Little Miss Matched as I love their clothes. And I just did an awesome editorial shoot for Saks with friends that was so fun. And I loooovvveeed walking for Olvi’s Lace at Petite Parade and Safilo Eyewear at the Javits Center as runway is one of my favorite things. I’ve been very lucky this year having so many great jobs!
