SPORT'S ILLUSTRATED SUPERMODEL.
AND YEAH. US BOYS LOVE HER EXOTIC GOOD LOOKS TOO.
YEOH: can you you tell us somethings about yourself?
MELISSA: I'm a single Ohio girl who loves family,football,my pets, modeling and Rascal Flatts.
that represent you?
M: I have traveled to many places in Europe and the states but my main market is in NYC. I am represented by Women in Paris and Milan, Ford in Chicago and Canada and Click in NYC at the moment.
the industry?
M: I was a competitve gymnast at FLYTZ Gymnastics in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.I loved it but when I stopped I needed something to do with all that extra time and decided to go to work to earn the money for a car. It was about that time I seen my first Victoria Secret runway show on television and fell in love with modeling. I knew the second I seen the girls walk that runway looking so sexy and beautiful I needed to be a part of that.
Funny thing is I bought the car, gave it away to someone that needed it but kept the modeling! :)
Y: being part of sport's illustrated's swimwsuit edition
may be the ultimate goal of every female model that i know.
how did it feel being part of it?
M: How do you describe the feeling when you reach one of your dreams? No words seem to be enough.
One feeling I can describe is thankful for Diane Smith and the ones who allowed me the chance to be a part of the Sports Illustrated family.There are so many models out there they could of chose and I will always appreciate the shot they gave me.
It was an experience I will NEVER forget.
world. can you tell us what's it's like to work in all those
major fashion capitals?
M : It's very exciting to be able to travel to all those locations and work with so many talented people, the more markets the more people. Each place is really different and I enjoy seeing the differences between them. Ive been very lucky and blessed to be a part of it all.
Y: what the most gratifying part of being a model?
M: I love the photography process. I love watching how an idea from a client or team starts and ends up this amazing final product. Outside of the business end it helps you to be able to help others through charity work. Once people start to recognize you, it makes it easier to help other people.
within a span of a day. what would it be?
M: Im "allowed " to eat anything I want. No one tells me what to eat, or at least I dont listen! ha ha
I do choose to eat healthy most of the time, but when I do indulge its chocolate and of course my addiction ICE CREAM(vanilla with brownies is my favorite!) I make sure I exercise and workout with my long time trainer Justin Gelband and he kicks my butt and keeps me in shape.
questions my bud was annoying me about asking your number.
-LOL- you probably get a lot of male attention, how do
you handle all of that?
M: Tell him find me on Myspace and write, I answer all my emails. Sometimes it takes awhile to get to them with all the traveling but eventually I would get time to talk. ha ha
Handling the male attention?
As long as they act like a gentleman and respectful I love talking to them- probably too much because I like to talk! I think it's nice they notice my work and take time to write. Im still amazed when I go home to Ohio and Im in sweats, no make up and a ponytail at the gas station and guys recognize me. How do they do that? ha ha ha

Y: what advice can you give aspiring models?
M: ALWAYS HAVE A BACK UP PLAN. ALWAYS.
If modeling is your dream, give it a try- go for it. Don't let people stop you from trying to reach your goal but...
You need to realize it is a very competitve, tough business. If you get that lucky break CONGRATS and thats wonderful, but if things dont go as planned you have the other to fall back on. Many beginning models go to school or work another job and model until they see how the business is working out for them.
