Cassie: Yes and No, Yes because the world of fashion to me was so amazing and a great way for me to express myself as an artistic person. It afforded me to travel to various countries to work with different designers and learn different cultures. No it didn't fascinate it elevated me to a different level at a very young age.

Copa: Would you please explain the differences of curvy models, urban models and in between?
Cassie: Curvy models are considered as having the hourglass shape but they are curvy with a small waist line and nice bust and hips and thighs but they are not fat girls.
Urban modeling is an offshoot of glamour photography with a focus on multicultural "ghetto" influences.
Urban Models are often seen in black mens magazine representing the "Booty" shots these are ethnic women, women of color.
Modeling in between should I say, is where every girl dreams of being such as the Tyra Banks, Naomi, Campbell etc.....You must be of significant height, weight and size and must truly have what it takes to be a model in all aspects. There are so many avenues of modeling I could go on all day, you have commercial print, modeling body part modeling where you will model your eyes, lips, and hands. This business of modeling can be very glamorous and very lucrative if you are represented properly, Its not easy being a professional model but itvis well worth it. Its the Act and beauty of it all that I have enjoyed for 30 years.
