Hennywiz - Overall, what has been your opinion of the modeling industry?
Alana Marie - It's mixed. I am not a voluptuous girl so I am aware of what publication would want me and which ones won't. But I'm okay with that. I love my body and I'm happy with it. Some people in the industry want girls to change or change their bodies and I won't do that. I have meet some amazingly good people in this industry that I can say are my friends and I love that. So there is good and bad. You just have to know who you are and stick to what you believe in.

Hennywiz - Let’s get personal now, lol!! Do you have a significant other in life?
Alana Marie - Lol yes I do.
Hennywiz - What qualities do you look for when choosing a mate?
Alana Marie - I look for someone that is comfortable with who he is and not out to impress anyone. I am a goof ball and I love a man that can make me laugh. He also has to like sports because I love all sports and I watch espn everyday.
Hennywiz - What advice do you have for someone that would like to approach you in public?
Alana Marie - Just be normal. One of the biggest misconceptions that men have when they are around me is that I am mean or stuck up. If you come off like a gentlemen and genuine then you have my attention if you come at me like you think you’re bigger than life and your conceited I will not give you the time of day. Lol
Hennywiz - What turns you on the most?
Alana Marie - Being romantic. I am a hopeless romantic and a man that’s not afraid to show me off in any situation and tell me I'm beautiful randomly turns me on. Just talking about it makes me smile lol.
Hennywiz - What is an ultimate turn off for you?

Hennywiz - What advice do you have for inspiring models out there trying to break into the industry?
Alana Marie - I love talking to girls who ask for advice because I think models should help other models and inspiring ones. I would say be careful for scammers and always bring someone with you to a shoot. Also be true to yourself and what you believe in.

The Bachelors in Communication/Journalism will come in handy when the modeling ends. I applaud the fact that she won't change her body, she shouldn't have to jus' to make it in the modeling game. I feel her on wanting to get in ad campaigns for clothing/beauty products....reach for the sky. A woman that likes sports & that watches ESPN daily is rare...nice. PEACE!!!
