The models of First Friday’s: “Fashion Fest 2007” gained opportunities to be interviewed so that the NewOrleansBlack.com audience could get to know them a little better. Next up is Erinn.

How long have you been modeling?
I’ve been doing this for two years now. I started in Atlanta after Hurricane Katrina.

Have you ever wanted to model while growing up?
No, actually I didn’t. My interest in modeling didn’t spark until some friends of mine encouraged me to try it out. I auditioned for a show in Atlanta and made the final cut. Once that happened, my perspective in the modeling world changed completely.

So, how did you get involved with the First Fridays: Fashion Fest show?
Well, I was a featured a model before in the First Fridays & Fashion: “A Fashionable Krewe” show. When I read the event posting on the internet about the “Fashion Fest 2007” show, I was eager to audition.

How do you feel about your modeling now?
I love it. I’m trying to figure out my place in this industry, so every opportunity is a learning experience.

What are some current stats on Erinn?
Age: 21
From: New Orleans - West Bank
High school: Edna Karr
College/Univ: University of New Orleans
Major: Business Management & a minor in Entrepreneurship
Current title: student, CEO of Sweet Kiss Modeling Agency, and dance team coach

What are your aspirations for the future?
I want to be successful, comfortable, and happy no matter what I do in life.

Do you have any aspirations in the entertainment industry?
I definitely feel that I want to work ‘behind the scenes’ in the industry. I’m not particular to whether it be music, movies, fashion. I love it all.

Tell the world one quote that you live by and why you chose that quote.
“One who stands for nothing falls for anything.”
That was the motto for my high school football team. That quote basically just reminds me to know myself and my standing point in life. Before anything else, I have to know what I want first.
