Model Alessandra Martines
(Italy)
Can you tell us a little about yourself. Hi, my name is Alessandra, I’m 25, I’m italian
and exactly I’m from my beloved and hot Sicily. I live in Catania. I’m looking for a
permanent job, but in the meantime I often work as a hostess, promoter, model and I
create crafts items. I’m a very active girl, solar and sporty. I love music, dancing, going
out with friends, I love animals and I like training to keep myself fit…
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? I’m a very critical
person…while regarding my hidden side, I would change my exaggerated sensivity
because I would like to think more about my well-being and then that of others…
How did you get into modeling? I started this path exactly in 2009 through a national
beauty contest. From that day many proposals began to arrive to me and I accepted
free at the beginning to gain experience, grow and study in this field. All this helped me
a lot in fact now I often work in Sicily and even outside the island...
What do you think of work as a model? I don’t consider myself “model” but I think
this job is like many others, also an hobby, and it is one of the ways to realize one of my
dreams…I like posing and transmitting, through photos, what I am and what I would
like to be…but it is still a difficult road to travel because it takes creativity, patience to
treat the body and above all self-confidence…it’s also difficult for the opinion of the
people and because in this field many times we are faced with unpleasant situations…
What is your beauty regime? I like sensuality, elegance, refinement, sweetness…in fact
every time I pose, I like expressing what I feel according to the context created. Many
Top Models are my sources of inspirations…
What are your personal skills that you stand out from the others? As I mentioned
before, I’m a very sensitive girl and I always try to think others first and then of myself. I
like helping people in need to see them smile…I’m strong and if I fall I get up and go
forward, always with my head held high…I’m overactive and very humble…
What are your plans for the future? First of all I would like to realize myself in the field
of work, then finally find a job that gratifies me and at the same time I like it…in the
future I would like to create a beautiful family…
