So the other day I was just sitting in my office pondering how to make myself look busier than I actually was, when I got an tweet from a girl so hot you can’t look directly at her without risking permanent damage to the retina. After literally ’some’ minutes I had secured her a place in the iCandy hall of greatness – the girls feature.

After talking to her, I was very quick to realise that there’s a lot more to this amazing girl that just her incredible looks and made me wonder how quickly I could get to Hatton Garden from my office! Here’s the pics and probing interview with the very talented, the very gorgeous all-rounder; Miss Becki Pearson.

Hi Becki (grins) How YOU doin?? Well, I’m looking down my list and you’ve got quite a bit under your belt haven’t you? Catwalk Model, Presenter, Calendar Model, Fashion Model, Ring-girl and finalist in Miss Black Britain! Wow quite a list of accomplishments! What’s been your favourite moment out of the things you’ve done?
(Laughs) Wow! What a introduction! Thanks! (smiles), well I’ve worked really hard over the years to be an all rounder, but presenting has always been my passion, the buzz is amazing! It’s great to get in front of the camera and capture someone’s attention! Making something engaging that people want to watch!

You’ve been a ring girl for Sky, Have you seen that iCandy is involved with Models Fight Night (www.modelsfightnight.co.uk) do you like boxing? Would you ever consider doing something like that?
NO! I didn’t know this, that’s cool! I actually love boxing,I still cringe in true girl fashion when there’s a tough fight though! an ex got me into it years ago. I’ve always said I’d love to go to a massive live boxing match yeah!

You would? Cool! Maybe you should come with us to Models Fight Night then! It’d be a pleasure to have you if you’re free? You’ve also presented Smart Casino on Sky and you’re a fully licensed croupier – are you quite lucky? Have you got any tips for us??
(laughs) It was very short lived! The travelling was just too much! But yes I think I’m pretty lucky, I think you make you’re own fate, that’s what it all comes down to. Tips? For gambling? (laughs) errrm read the rules and don’t get in debt!!

Hmm speaking as a former bank manager (seriously I was) I’ll agree with that! You’ve also been a finalist as we’ve already learnt, of Miss Black Britain – how did it feel to be voted as one of the nations hottest black women?
Oh wow yes, It was a fantastic experience for me, I was only 20 when I was a finalist and it opened some more doors for me. I’m mixed race so I’m proud of both sides of my heritage, but yes it was very flattering and an amazing experience!

You’ve got amazing eyes I have to say………sorry I got lost in thought there…What was I saying? oh yeah, your distinctive looks – you must be wading through guys on a daily basis but what do you look for and need in a man?
Stop making me blush! Thank you though that’s sweet, I know it sounds really cliché… Personality is everything to me, good looks are a bonus. I love ambitious and driven men who don’t take themselves too seriously,that you can have a laugh with. I don’t think you ever ‘need’ a man but as long as he likes you for being you that’s a good start!

So someone like me then? Great! I see that I may have a bit of competition too, you’re a journalist and also edging you way into the medium of TV so you’ve got the edge on me for a start! -what are you working on at the moment?
Competition’s healthy! (laughs) Yes, I’m wiggling my way in from all angles! I’ve really pushed everything in the last year, and I’m pleased to say its going really well! My main focus at the moment is getting as much industry experience as possible so when the big opportunities come my way, I’m more than ready! But recently I’ve been presenting on a independent documentary, and soon will be co- writing and presenting on a new show – I can’t say too much about that for now but if you follow me on twitter @BeckiPearson1 you’ll get more details closer to the time!

Wiggling!? Sounds good! I look forward to getting you on my 42″ soon then! So is TV the way you want to go? If you could present any show which one would you want?
Yes, its always been my goal to get into TV, but I love the journalistic side too! I’ve also done beauty therapy for the last 6 years as well as everything else so I would love to be able to incorporate both, maybe a beauty show with Gok Wan that would be amazing!!

Gok Wan? Hmmm He almost ran me over the other week in his Range Rover when I was crossing Highbury Corner so if that project does happen; tell him I expect an apology! You seem very focused and driven in what you want to achieve, who’s been your biggest inspiration along your journey?
I’m extremely driven – its the only way to get where you want in life, have a bit of fire in your belly! I could name so many industry inspirations that are now mainstream and are doing well but there’s too many! I’ve got a lot of strong female influences around me, my mum is amazing and I’d love to make her proud – that inspires and drive me. I’ve also got great friends who are really supportive and do well in there own careers too!

Yeah I think we all want to make our mums proud – it gives them lots to talk about if my mum’s anything to go by! So with so much going on time must be quite precious to you, when you do get some to yourself what do you like to do when you’ve got some ‘you’ time?
(laughs) My brain’s always in overdrive! I don’t like being idle but when I do snatch a break I usually sleep or go shopping! Both keep me happy!

I love your energy! (laughs) OK so I ask everyone this question as I’m always looking for someone to say something shocking and to date no one really has! So, I’m going to put you on the spot and ask what’s you’re guilty secret or pleasure? And you’re NOT allowed to say ‘the amount of junk food I eat’ as that seems to be a constant stream recently!
Guilty pleasure – I remixed it! Probably buying expensive treats I don’t really need.. That’s naughty right?!

Yeah that’s kind of naughty – I bet its shoes isn’t it? – it’s always shoes!! What gets you the most excited and happy?
Definitely new projects, realising my dreams and making the people I love proud and seeing them happy! I’m happy when they are happy (smiles)

Awww a sweet nature as well as sweet looking! Well Becki, it’s been an absolute pleasure to have such an amazing girl drop by but before you go have you got anything to say to everyone out there in iCandyland?
Well thanks for having me! (smiles) Like I’ve said guys; follow me on twitter @BeckiPearson1 and keep a eye out for more info on the exciting projects that I’ve got coming up! *winks*

Hi Cassie, Welcome back to iCandy! We last saw you grace our page in September last year what have you been up to since then?
Well hello (winks) It’s great to be back! I’ve been keeping myself busy working, doing more promotions work for some events like British Superbikes and just loadsa different shoots since then, adding loads of variety to my portfolio and trying new things!

Sounds like you’ve been busy then! You’ve launched your own website since we last met – what was it like seeing something like that come together?
It was kinda surreal, exciting and nerve racking all at the same time, but it’s now out there and live and it seems to be getting a lot of hits! I’ve had lots of really positive feedback so it’s thumbs up right now! (grins) you can catch it at www.cassiej.co.uk check it out and keep up to date with my latest shoots and even buy your choice of picture for a poster, and of course get in touch with me – purely professionally of course! (laughs).

Oh of course I mean I’m sure no-one would get in tough with you for flirtatious reasons *coughs* When you last featured you told us that you had your own pole at your place – I like poles! Have you still got it? is that how you manage to stay in such a lovely shape? *winks*
I do indeed! (laughs) I don’t get much time on it at the moment though, so I’m at the gym for my workouts now. I try and use my home to chill out, but I keep it there for the odd spin!! (sticks tongue out and laughs)

So the new pics – they’re pretty sensational! What’s going through your mind when you’re on a shoot?
Ahhh thank you! That’s the kind of reaction I’m going for right now (grins) When I’m on a shoot I try to be as professional as I can but still having a lot of fun! I really don’t think about anything and just concentrate on the poses and facial expressions that will come out in the end results. I really appreciate my boyfriend’s opinion on my work so I always push myself to look extra…whats the word….spicy!! (winks)

Lucky guy!! So he gets the pole treatment and gets first look at your shoots! I think we’re all pretty jealous of him right now! You have a day job in an office as well though, before you met him did you have any office flings??
Yeah I’m still in the office at the moment, but I’m hoping now that things are getting good I’ll be getting busier with my modelling and the website, so I’m hoping the office routine will all change soon!…. I actually haven’t had an office fling! I’m a good girl at heart (laughs) See my halo??

Hmmm I’m not sure that the laugh goes with the halo Cassie! You must get guys hitting on you a lot though, does that bother you? What do you look for in a guy?
It doesn’t bother me, bless them! (laughs) I’m quite happy with my boyfriend and he knows that. I find it flattering that I get the attention really! But I have to say I do regularly get messages and comments through Facebook and random adds on the old BB messenger, anyone that gets a little bit too much though gets swiftly blocked…so anyone on my list, be warned!! (laughs)

Duly noted! You’re also a mummy and a very yummy one at that I might add – you must be very focused to do so much; What’s your driving passion?
Awww that’s 3 years of gym work outs for you!! (laughs) My daughter is my main motivation and drive for the better things in life, I could easily give up everything and spend every waking minute with her, but I’d rather work and do as much as I can to give her the finer things in life. I never want her to go without. It can get tough and I get pretty busy most weeks but I have my weekends of no shoots so I can devote quality time to her. As much as I love what I do, its always good to take a time out even if it is only for a couple days.

You sound like you have a very hectic life indeed! So when you do get some time to yourself what do you like to do to chill out?
I spend time with my daughter, boyfriend, see my closest friends, my family, shopping trips, meals out and a cinema trip. You know how it goes and then again the days where you just do sweeeeeet F.A also known as Sundays! (laughs)

Ah yes Sunday’s I’m in church most Sundays *coughs* And if you believe that can I interest you in some invisible magic beans too? Everyone’s got a dirty or guilty secret or pleasure – what’s yours?
(laughs) No you won’t catch me that easily! A secret is a secret! That would be telling (winks)

Ohhhh very mysterious – my mind is racing as to what it could be! What’s your current goal and where do you want to be in 10 years? What’s coming up for you?
Right now I really want to get myself out there, get more recognition and more modelling work of course! I’m in talks with a new clothing line that’s launching soon, and they want me to be “the face” (laughs). It’ll be starting in Switzerland and then hopefully they are going to branch out and come to the UK. It’s real exciting stuff so I will keep you posted on that!!

Well I certainly hope you will! Good luck with that! You’ll have to bring us back a cuckoo clock for the office! Cassie, It’s been great to have you back, have you got anything to say to everyone out there in iCandyland?
It’s been so nice being back!! Thanks for having me AGAIN (grins) maybe I’ll be back soon to give you another update – if you’ll have me? And please guys, check out my website www.cassiej.co.uk look through my portfolio, browse through my shop and even get in touch with me! I love to get everyone’s feedback whether it’s about my work, my site or even to work with me (smiles)

You’ve really got a lot going on at the moment haven’t you? You’re in music videos, you present awards, you’re London’s official firegirl and you’re about to be on ‘The Batchelor’ where you’re going to be competing for Gavin Henson’s affections; which one of all these things are you most excited about?
Yeah I have been really busy of late. I gave up working in the corporate world as a Business Manager to concentrate on the things I love to do. I get to travel a lot with work, so getting to meet different people, cultures, excites me. I was approached to be on the UK’s first ‘The Bachelor’ show which will be on Channel 5 and I am really nervous about watching it myself as it isn’t normally something I would do but I just saw it as a trip away, bit of fun, and if I get exposure from doing it then that would be great! The US version is the most watched show in the States, and as I loved watching it, I thought it would be good to try it out over here. None of us girls knew who the bachelor would be until the ‘greeting night’ so you will have to watch and find out how I reacted to it being Gavin!

Do you think you’d make a good WAG if you won? Do you like rugby?
I know nothing about rugby, and nor do I aspire to be a WAG! (laughs)

(laughs) Gavin Henson is Welsh (like me!) Do you like the Welsh accent? (raises eyebrows suggestively and grins) cos, you know..(coughs)..if it doesn’t work out I’m not seeing anyone at the moment…
(laughs) You are such a flirt!! I love the Welsh accent it has a really nice softness about it…

Really!?! I sing as well you know! You should hear my Tom Jones karaoke sometime! Gavin was of course married to Charlotte Church who can be a bit feisty – would her being his ex and mum to his kids be a bit off-putting?
I don’t really know much about Gavin but Charlotte seems to be fun, I’ve watched her talk show and she’s a really good presenter, very funny. Someone who has been married or has kids isn’t really my idea of being an eligible bachelor to be honest but who knows?

With all the scandals coming out at the moment Colleen & Wayne, Cheryl & Ashley, Ryan Giggs & pretty much any woman in a mile radius of him, and so many others, do you think you could keep Gavin in check? How would you do it? – Pretty easily I’m going to say with your looks!
(laughs) Why thank you Mr Charming!! It’s sad hearing about those scandals as so many people get hurt in the process, you can only hope your partner doesn’t stray elsewhere. Looks aren’t enough to keep a relationship together, it takes a lot of trust, respect and determination to keep it strong, building a strong foundation with the right person is far more important than the aesthetics.

That’s so true, I suppose if you don’t win or you just don’t click you’ve always got all those firemen to fall back on? What’s it feel like to be London’s official Firegirl?
(laughs) Firemen are amazing people, they not only look good in uniform but are real life heroes. I was honoured to be a firegirl for a big campaign I did recently in Vienna, I was chosen to represent London, not only did I get to dress as firegirl and use all the equipment at the fire station there, but it was more about meeting these fire-fighters who risked their lives to help others. I got to see the guys in action mid-shoot as the sirens went off, it was incredible to watch!

A lot of women go gaga over firemen but what’s all that about?? Every time we’ve had an alarm at our building all the firemen that turn up are about 40!
(laughs) I met young and old fire-fighters whilst in Vienna! However they all look great in uniform, it’s that heroism figure that is symbolic to being a firefighter which drives most women crazy!

Yeah? I saved a hedgehog from a fox once you know! Does that count as heroism??? But anyway, you’ve got a lot of music connections too though haven’t you; presenting the Urban Music Awards and the Download Music Awards as well as being in a few music videos too including being one of the first UK models as a the lead in a US mainstream video for B.O.B’s ‘Magic’ You’ve worked with Dizzee Rascal in his video for ‘Dirtee Disco’ Do you have anything coming out soon that we should look out for? Were they all good to work with? Would you ever branch out into a singing career?
I have been lucky to be in some amazing videos, I absolutely loved filming the B.O.B’s ‘Magic’ video which was shot in L.A and although I had to eat cereal from a sink ten million times, it was fun and the production over in the States is huge, they really go all out to deliver something grand. Dizzee Rascal was great to work with, he actually chose the models who feature in the video himself, so it was nice to have been chosen by the man himself and being part of a funny video. I am currently in Alex Metric featuring Ian Brown from the Stone Roses new dance track ‘Open Your Eyes’ I got to play ‘Robofem’ which is the robots girlfriend, the director Peter Serafinowicz acted and directed the video, it was a joy to see this incredible man at work, very inspirational.

The Urban Music Awards has been by far the best award show that I have presented, it was entertaining, fast paced and the audience kept me on my toes the whole time- if you can handle the urban crowd you can more or less handle any other! It’s funny that you asked whether I can sing because I recently met with R Kelly and the first thing he said to me was “if you can sing I will sign you up right now” I was totally blown away but the only person that has heard me sing is myself, in the shower!! (Laughs)

Sorry I was miles away there… You said ’shower’ and I felt a little faint… So, sportsmen, firemen or musicians? – out of all of them who would you go for first, do you go for creativity such as a budding iCandy writer (winks) or someone a bit more rugged?
I’m sure you are just delightful (laughs) I tend to go for more of the intellect as opposed to the rugged, I like to learn new things as I am very inquisitive by nature, so someone that couldn’t teach me a thing or two would most likely bore me! Having said that I always believe it is the connection first and foremost, I instantly know whether I am attracted to someone by the get go, the connection has to be right

You like to learn things? Hmmm… Did you know that there’s a species of mosquito that lives on the Tube network that’s found nowhere else on earth? That’s true that is! When you’re not busy working and doing all these incredible things, what do you like to do to relax?
I love spending time with my beautiful baby nephew Harley, he really makes me smile. I enjoy hanging out with friends and going to wacky fun places like the zoo and M&M world! I also love to read and I’m currently reading ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho- very inspiring read

M&M World? Wow! You really are getting more perfect! You’ve travelled a lot too – where’s the most amazing place you’ve been to?
I have travelled to many amazing places with work, the most culturally different place I have visited was when I got to represent England in The World Super Model competition held in Taiwan, the food was so different and interesting, the people are so hospitable. I love LA and tend to go there every so often. I was invited to the playboy mansion last year for their summer party and have been invited this year too, so I’m really looking forward to going again, it is everything you imagine it to be and more!!

You’re going to the Playboy Summer party?? Damn!! Do you need an escort? I mean, C’mon apart from countless children and probably a heart condition, what’s Heff got that I haven’t??? It’s been an absolute pleasure Tabby but from all of us in iCandyland; best of luck with all your projects and of course with ‘The Batchelor’, I’ll be watching and secretly hoping you don’t fancy him at all! Before we go though, do you have anything to say to everyone out there?
Thank you for having me! Make sure you tune in! I have been sent a few scripts to read, so I am busy with that at the moment, I also have my swimwear designs being launched soon. Most importantly I am an ambassador for The Damilola Taylor Trust, I will be doing a charity skydive in August to raise awareness and money for the charity, please follow me on Twitter (@tabbybrown) for more info on how you can help! Thanks Gaz!

That’s quite a big step deciding to jack in your job and take a different direction! Were your family happy that you decided to do that?
Yeah they’re really supportive of me, they knew I wasn’t happy and they could see that and they can see that I’m really happy now – they’ve been great and I couldn’t ask them for anything more than supporting me in my choices. I love my family!

Cool! So what have you been up to recently then?
Partying! I’m a total party girl! I guess that’s why I loved doing the promotions work really, I’ve recently come back from holiday too in Marbella which was great and topped up my tan! But I’ve done a few shoots, I’m really trying to build my portfolio up at the moment and get myself out there and see where it goes!

So where would you like it to go then
Anywhere! I’d love to do adverts or anywhere my modelling career takes me really! I’m pretty open to any direction it could go in, it’s like its a whole new adventure and each day could be different! I hate routine! [laughs].

Well I’m sure with your pics you’ll have a lot of offers! You must get guys hitting on you quite a bit though don’t you?
Actually they don’t! [laughing]! When I go out I go out in quite a big group with my girls and I think a lot of guys are intimidated by us! We can be quite wild! It would be a very confident guy to approach my group and speak to me! Ha ha! But I like that – I like a guy with confidence!

So you like a confident guy huh? What else do you look for in a guy?
Hmm well, I’m quite typical really – I love a tall dark and handsome man ha ha! But at the moment I think my perfect guy is Ryan from Eastenders – he’s lovely!

You’ve got quite a Lady Gaga look going on – is she a bit of an influence?
NO! I’ve had my hair like this for 7 years – long before she came on the scene!

Ooooo kay! So I’m guessing you get kind of tired being compared to her?
Oh I get it all the time! ‘You look like Lady Gaga you know!’ ‘Hey Lady Gaga is here!’ Gimme a break! I’ve had long blonde hair for ages and if anything she copied me! [laughs] I don’t let it bother me though – I know who I am.

Ha ha! OK! So what’s you’re guilty secret?
I’m ashamed to say junk food – I eat it all the time – I just love it! I love grabbing a burger or whatever!

You must have to work out a lot though to compensate and stay looking so good?
Err… I’d like to yes but I haven’t been to the gym for months! I should really go I know but I just don’t get round to it! [laughs]

Seriously!? Wow! that’s quite lucky! What’s your favourite part of your body?
[Laughs] My boobs! I look after them very well and I saved hard to get them so I’m quite proud of myself for doing that but I absolutely love them, they’re fantastic!

No arguments here Chloe! Yes they’re quite something! *cough* err… sorry where was I? Oh yeah! So what have you got coming up that we should look out for?
Well, I’m looking into working for Bluebird TV during the day times, and I’m giving a lot of thought about doing that – it could be fun!

Wow! So you wouldn’t find that intimidating at all? Do you think that some of the things that blokes could be saying to you might shock you?
[Laughing] Nah! I’m not easily intimidated! I’m very confident and outgoing – nothing shocks me and believe me I’ve seen a lot!

Well I’ll certainly take your word for it Chloe and we’ll keep an eye out for you in the future!

Frizzy Cube

Neil Nakahara definitely thinks outside the box when it comes to his portfolio. He pushes the boundaries creating images that are colourful, edgy and original. Basically, his imagery rocks! Here the Hawaiian-born New Yorker of Japanese descent gives us an insight into his realm of photography.

Where did the name Frizzy Cube come from?
FrizzyCube was originally a chat screen name. I didn’t want to use any name that was too obvious and had to come up with something totally random, just like my personality. It eventually became my artist name, and from there… my alias as a photographer.

When did you decide to become a full-time photographer?
Roughly over four years ago when I was beginning to notice a lot of things in the commercial photography industry was feeling a bit mundane. So I picked up cheap little 5MP camera and started toying around with it. The rest… well… as they say, is history.

What’s your favourite part of the photography process?
A lot of people may assume it’s the Post Production process, but for me it’s really when I’m actually interacting during a photo shoot. I love different kinds of people and what they all bring to the picture.

But here a few images to whet your appetite…

BJ aka Overlord X is a music producer, film director, writer, rap artist and founder of multi-media company, MO-AM Masters, but it is his electrifying photography that has caught iCandy’s attention. Here he tells us about his style, his inspiration and what it’s like working with the beautiful ladies…

How would you describe your photographic style?
My style is like a colourful graphic novel. I love super hero comics as well as the films. I would always picture in my head what kind of shots I would take if I was a photographer… and my style is just that.

You began photography as a hobby, were you surprised at the attention it began to attract and the direction it has taken?
Yeah, I was kind of surprised but the few people I was taking photos for at the early stages were telling me that my photos were out of this world, so I kind of prepared myself for the hype. Because I was working with Peeks and Bambi from Fresh as Tommi I did a lot of photography for them. Other people saw them so I started to get hassled by them to take their pictures, which is not a bad thing!! It just grew from there.

You are a music producer and an award winning film director as well as a photographer, do you think you will focus on any one area in particular in the future?
Believe it or not I am focusing on one thing: entertainment arts. I have been doing the arts a while through MO-AM Masters and I have been inspired by famous film directors who do photography but it’s just that I also produce beats. The main reason I took up photography was because it gave me a better understanding of film cinematography and the main reason I took up film was because I was a music producer with a craving for creating something visual to go with the beats. They all fuse together very well, for example, a big job came in from a client who I was doing some photography for, they also wanted a video promo done for an event they where putting on, which I filmed, and the final film needed original background music which I also produced.

What’s the best thing about being a photographer?
As well as being creative… I can’t lie… it’s taking amazing photos of the most beautiful ladies! Capturing a moment in time through my eyes.

Where do you find inspiration for your shoots?
I get a lot of inspiration from God and the subject that I’m shooting. I read a lot of magazines from the UK, Europe and States and I see a lot of photos that give me ideas. I strive to out do my last shoot so that also inspires me.

What is your most important consideration in a photo shoot?
The most important thing for me is lighting and the lens. If the two are not functioning properly then that’s a wrap, it’s not going to work for me. Lighting is important because that’s what creates shadows and allows the camera to get all the information needed for a great shot but you have to be careful you don’t over or underexpose. The lens creates the depth and the quality of the photo taken which is why I invested in a few different lenses.

As a photographer, what do you look for in a model?
I love models who generally want to model. It sounds obvious but too many people love the idea of modelling but when it comes to the work ethic…expressions, getting experience and learning the craft…it’s a different story. There’s nothing better than a model turning up who is ready and enthusiastic to do a great shoot.

What’s next?
I’m building my portfolio and I’ve already done work for various models, Apple Bottom, Armani Exchange and Boudi who stock Ed Hardy. I would like to start taking photographs of celebrities and to combine even more of the arts of entertainment, so watch this space….

Scotty JX

Scotty was born in Michigan USA, however is now residing in the Los Angeles area.

His work has been published around the world from Magazines, Television to Movies, with names like FHM, HBO, Playboy, Bizarre, Showtime, Playboy TV, G4 Channel, Bravo, Royal Mag and of course Actiongirls.

Check out his work from Action girls Every Sunday Night on G4’s “The Sexy International Ladies TV Show”.

How did you get into working for action girls?
Well I actually own it HA Yep it’s my dream creation!!! I love all aspects of the start to finish. Actiongirls is my dream project it’s like being a kid for the rest of my life. When I was a kid I loved to play war, as you mature in your teens and develop an attraction to women I thought hmmmm….

It started one day in Prague in the Czech Republic., I thought of a dream about tanks, Flamethrowers and babes with guns but was afraid to ask because of the price and I said… cautiously what about a flamethrower and he said no problem when you want it? I was amazed… then I said what about tanks he said No problem, so the next week there I was with Veronika Zemanova and a flamethrower.

What advice can you give to prospective models?
Be tough work long hours and love photographers who love their work, I know you have the looks but personality counts and it’s not something you can fake.

You need to shoot with as many photographers as you can, as many times as you can and you must be open to learning.

PLEASE don’t become stuck up!!! On your way to the top watch out what you say because you will meet those on your way back down.

Say no to situations you feel uncomfortable with if you choose, but be polite and professional.

Compare yourself to the best; don’t be afraid to try something that may sound stupid to you or not appealing… people like personality. You are an entertainer!

Illustrate your most accomplished shoot to date?
Actiongirls “Soldiers of the Dead” the Movie. Over 90 days of shooting for a 1 hour 30 min feature. Wow it was hard a lot of fun at times but a lot of pain too.

Likes?
Movies, heavy metal

Dislikes?
Stuck up and lazy people

Where is your favourite location to shoot?
It must be Prague. A bit hard to narrow but I have to say it must be Prague, Czech Republic

What’s your next move?
A possible reality show we will see Um outside of that… I’m redesigning my site and doing some collaboration with artists right now some super talented Photoshop wizards taking actiongirls to a whole other level with digital effects. Also shooting a Water and Fitness series for the folks who don’t like the gun bashing babes and want a bit to relax to and just enjoy their beauty!! I’m not stupid the girls are what people want to see.

So watch out for an explosion from me with shooting an army of new models!!

Words by Berni Christie

Following the success of the ‘UK Stunners’ 2007 and 2008 calendars, the UK stunners are back again. This time grace yourselves for a bikini edition. The 2009 calendar will serve as a tribute to UK Stunners Founder, Kaya Bousquet, who tragically passed away in a car crash last year. iCandy caught up with October girl Venita and this is what she had to say.

Name: Venita aka Miss VMA

Age: 22

What modelling experience do you have?
Lol, where do I start? I’ve been modelling on and off for 2 years. My clients have included Sleek and New Era and most recently the UK Stunners Calender 2010.

How do you hear about the UK Stunners?
I worked in the same network as the founder Kaya, so I’ve followed the UK stunners since its launch.

What made you want to be a part of the UK Stunners brand?
I admired everything it stood for past just the aesthetic beauty. It was filled with self-empowered females from all regions of the UK and I wanted to be a part of that. There’s nothing more gratifying than supporting our talent collectively.

What 3 qualities does a UK Stunner need to have?
Apart from the obvious, strength of character, strength of mind and self-esteem.

What would you say is your best feature and why?
My smile because I use it whenever I feel positive and it’s with me all my life.

If you could choose to model for any brand or be in any celebrity music video, who or what would it be and why?
If I had to model for a brand it would be for Addidas, because I am athletically built and sports was a big fraction of my life at a younger age. I’d like to show it’s attractive and cool to be built that way and still be cool and trendy.

I would love to star in Beyonce’s video because she represents every woman to me.

What’s your favourite page from the UK Stunners calendar despite your own?
Erm…this is tricky, I’m not sure I could pick one so I’d say the back page because we are all in it but I love Georgie’s page. I think she looks incredible in it and an honourable mention to Chenade’s, Nia’s, and Becky’s.

What has been the most fun part so far being a UK Stunner?
The photo shoots because I’ve met wonderful hard working people. And I respect that a lot.

Who’s the sexiest UK Stunner? And why?

Kaya, of course (RIP). Without her dream none of us would have this wonderful experience and DeMented because she’s fabulous, down to earth and refreshingly honest. You have to be a strong person to handle the truth and I appreciate it when she tells it.

From this calendar, I don’t have one at the moment. Everyone brings something different to the table. I am particularly fond of the other two ravens Nia & Becki and my partner in crime when it’s party time Georgie. They have scooped my spirits up from time to time when I’ve needed it most for which I am thankful.

Who is the funniest member?
I’d nominate myself here haha. I can be seen as the biggest clown or trouble as Sequoia calls me. But I always mean well. Hopefully the others agree.

Which UK Stunner has a body feature that you envy and what is it?
Chenade’s abs are to die for. Becki has a pretty hot package as well. Sequoia’s is pretty impressive. If I had to pick I’d say Sequoias. But everyone has amazing figures.

Finish this sentence UK Stunners are….
Proud, inspirational women.

Where do you want to be in 5 years time?
Making big bucks. Like drake says ‘I just wanna be successful’, I’d like to be better than who I was before each previous year in every aspect.
