Big congratualtions to Hannah Edwards for winning this month’s Model of the Month Competition, Hannah curvy finger and reason for entering stole the hearts of the judges.
So Hannah tell us a little about yourself?
I’m 21; I work at my local recreation centre as a Receptionist & Lesiure assistant/sports coach. I am also a Zumba instructor and teach Zumbatomics for children as well as cheerleading. I have a beauty therapy background and like to do this in my spare time. I am a down to earth, caring and positive person, love to socialise and meet new people!
How did you hear about the Model of the Month competition?
I bought two sets of underwear from Brastop & saw the competition on the website.
What made you decide to enter?
I recently participated in the Miss Hampshire beauty pageant and didn’t place anywhere in the Top 8. It was fine as I didn’t expect to and I participated for the pure reason that I enjoy doing it.
After the competition I asked one of the judges for some feedback and points on what to improve on. The reply was simply that my height is an issue and I need to lose weight. I was disappointed but it made me more determined to wave the flag for curvier girls. I am not unhealthy or unfit; I exercise regularly and teach fitness classes!
We are so happy to hear you didn’t let their negative comment keep you down but encourgaed you to embrace your lovely curves even more… We are so happy you entered our competition. How did you find out you won?
I was just checking my emails and there it was – the email from Brastop informing me that I’d won! What a lovely surprise!
We love giving surprises How do you feel now knowing you’ve won? Has it sunk in yet?
I was so excited when I read the email! Never won anything before I’m a very happy girlie! Thank you!
You’re more than welcome! How did your family react to you winning and having your photos online?
They’re very, very happy for me; they’re fine with my photos being online.
Are you nervous or looking forward to the professional photo shoot and makeover?
I’m looking forwards to the makeover & photoshoot. I can’t wait! It’s very exciting!!
I know it’s very exciting… we are only a few weeks away from the photo shoot, Remember to keep the 4th May free! So are you nervous or looking forward to the overall competition “Be our CoverGirl” Competition?
Again I’m looking forward to it; I’ll get nervous closer to the time but for now just winning “Model of the Month” has been amazing!
Did you always celebrate your curves? Or was it a struggle to love them from the start?
I used to be very athletic in my teens. At least 5/6 days a week I would attend dance classes/gymnastics/horse riding and much more. As I got older, unfortunately I couldn’t fit it all in and soon I started to put weight on. I used to have a toned body but with age I went from being a small size 8/10 to now a 10/12. It was a big change for me. I initially found it hard but now I LOVE my curves – this is the way I am, and couldn’t be happier!
Exactly! You have to embrace your curves… so out of all the prizes you won which one are you mostly looking forward to?
It would have to be the makeover & photoshoot, after all this is the part I’ll enjoy most!!
Not long now, until we are all lounging in underwear eating cake! If you had one wish to change anything about yourself what would it be and why?
It would probably be my height.
Remember good things comes in small packages! Who is your curvy idol?
I love Mariah Carey; she’s just fabulous & classy.
What’s your life’s philosophy or what quote do you live by?
I’m a fond believer in “The Secret” it’s all based on your thoughts & how you look at things in life – You can’t live a positive life, with a negative mind
We love that quote… think I’ll add all the interview quotes to my wall What celebrity would you compare yourself to? Looks wise? Or aspire to be like?
Charlotte Church is a down to earth lady; she’s always been in the spotlight for her weight/figure and always remained a strong character. She seems to have a nice personality which I think is very important in life. She’s also very natural too!
Did you always wanted to model? And if yes did you always wanted to model in lingerie?
Yes, I have always wanted to model. I love being infront on the camera, creating different looks/themes/emotion through photos and Yes, I have always wanted to model lingerie.
Thanks again for entering Hannah, we look forward to meeting you at the photo shoot very soon… get practising your poses girls!
