Roxspin
I didn't expect a girl of your caliber to come looking for us.
Shae
Actually Import is a separate interest of mine and this is the first chance to mix the two together so I'm pretty happy. My dad is a racecar driver!
Roxspin
Really?
Shae
My dad races sprint cars. He's been building the car pretty much since I was born. I've been helping him working on the car, been in the pits, and been the trophy girl a couple of times.
Roxspin
Grease monkey chick! That's what I'm talking about. Extra points for you. Daddy's little girl got her own project?
Shae
No, in my dreams! I have a Jeep Cherokee and you can't do anything much with it. If I had the chance I would buy a Viper and do nothing really to it all or buy an Acura Integra Type-R. I have a black light inside my Jeep. That's about it. (Laughs)
Roxspin
How did you get your feet wet in the modeling industry?
Shae
When I was 12 or 13 they talked me into entering a JC Penny contest where you take a picture with their outfits and pick 25 girls to be in their runway show. Out of 600 girls or something like that, I was 1 of 25 that was picked to do the runway show. The top prize was a thousand dollar scholarship to John Robert Powers. I get to do my Robert Powers schooling (Smirk), but it got me started in the industry. Got me some pictures, got me some lessons, and I've been at it ever since.
Roxspin
That was the past. How about the present time?
Shae
I'm kind of a return model for Macy's. Millerstockman which was western wear and not very fun. Yeah that was on a runway with new cowboy boots and two other girls fell which wasn't cool. Umm Contempo and other stuff.
Roxspin
What kind of gigs you enjoy the most?
Shae
I love runway the best. You get the chance to be interactive. You only got 3 minutes to change. That high-pressure scenario. It pays really well for what it is.
Roxspin
Lots of traveling huh?
Shae
Well I've always lived in kind of the peak places for modeling. Sacramento is two hours to the Bay and I go to LA all the time. When I was in Florida, I've modeled in Orlando and Miami. I've always been in a good market for it.
Roxspin
What kind of guys are you into?
Shae
I like them dark, nice, and fun.
Roxspin
I'm dark hmm. Did I say that out loud? Does he have to be good looking?
Shae
Not necessarily. Don't add this in, but I have dated some ugly ones.
Roxspin
Come on, can I put that on the record? Sorry ugly guys!
Shae
If you have to. (Laughs)
Roxspin
Anything else that ticks you off?
Shae
Arrogance and cocky guys. Especially when they have no reason to.
Roxspin
What is your ideal date?
Shae
Kings Game and a beer.
Roxspin
Go Kings!
Shae
I'm a major die hard Kings Fan. I love the Kings.
Roxspin
Who is that dog I see on your site?
Shae
Corona. He's mine and I love him. I call him Kujo for short. He's a Rat Terrior Chihuahua. (Pulls out a picture)
Roxspin
Is that natural red hair?
Shae
Yeah
Roxspin
Chinese with red hair?
Shae
Yeah, Chinese Irish mutant.
Roxspin
Dam, you crack me up. You've must have been the popular girl in highschool.
Shae
I was actually in a band. I made homecoming court a few times. I graduated a year early to skip my senior year.
Roxspin
You didn't play a flute did you? Ha ha.
Shae
No, I was the captain of the flag line. Marching band with the sheild.
Roxspin
I think that's about wraps it up. Thanks for hanging out.
Shae
Whenever you need me, I'll be there.
Roxspin
How about you representing Roxspin for phase one?
Shae
Sure anytime.
