How long have you been modeling?
I've been modeling on and off since I was about 6 years old.
What made you decide to pursue a career in modeling?
It's something I've always wanted to continue and since dancing, singing, and acting were coming along with so much success I decided to add my modeling career back into the mix and see if I could suceed with this also.
What impact has modeling had on your personal life?
A lot of people recognize me off the net or from dancing with Magic last year. Most of the impact has been good but of course with success comes haters and I get a few of those also. I simply brush them off because they hold no substance or rank in my life.
Overall, what has been your opinion of the modeling industry as a whole?
It's a cut-throat industry. You never know whose real or whose not so you're constantly keeping your guard up. Ive learned you have to be strong minded and set your standards high regardless of the outcome. Some jobs come some jobs go but I'll always get mine for my talent not for sleeping with someone.
What do you intend to gain or get out of your career in modeling?
I hope to get into a few magazines and also pull a few acting gigs. I majored in Theatre Education so entertaining is my first love followed by kids. I want to be the next Halle Berry or Janet Jackson. In other words I will be the first "RoyceLyndsay" a true Quadruple Threat.
What are some of the projects you're currently working on?
I'm working on possibly doing a calendar and I'm also in the process of signing a recording contract. Keep your fingers crossed!
What are your turn-ons?
I love guys with goals. Someone who can definetely protect me but also be a teddybear. I admire guys that play sports and have nice bodies. A degree is also a plus but not a must. I have a fetish for straight white teeth and any guy that can hold an intelligent conversation.
What are your turn-offs?
Gold teeth, constant cursing, no goals, arguments, and lying for no reason.
Name some things you couldn't live without?
I watch football and basketball religously and also any reality shows I can catch. I also have to have my favorite non-alcoholic drinks around (Root Beer and Coconut Milk/Juice). I also have to have my dog J J (miniature Pomeranian)
How would you describe your overall personality?
I'm a versatile and very spontaneous person. I tend to play a lot of pranks on people and I love making people smile or laugh. I do however have an impatient side to where I don't take a lot of crap from people and I sometimes curse them out. Girls and I don't always get along because I tell the truth all the time regardless of feelings.
Tell us one thing about yourself that tends to shock people once they get to know you personally?
I was raped of my virginity in college and didnt tell anyone for 2 years. I was held at knife point and pulled into a room. I'm still a happy person but it does cross my mind a lot.
What would you consider your greatest strength?
My drive! I don't let anyone bring me down or lower my self esteem and confidence.
What would you consider your greatest physical asset?
My smile or my belly once I get that 6-pack!
What signals do you give to a man when you want him to make the first move?
I give a smile and this look I have to let him know it's time!
What signals do you give a man when you want him to stay away?
I just walk away or get on my cell phone.
What is the one thing you wish all men knew about women?
That not all of us like it from the back!
Give us an example of what you'd consider the perfect first date?
A normal date is my perfect date. If I like you it's perfect regardless if I end up falling on my ass 3 times. If I don't like you it's not regardless if I went on a shopping spree.
Regarding the gentlemen you date, name one quality they must possess and why?
Success!
What are your opinions on the state of the black male today?
I think a lot of them are disrespectful and come from families that werent neccessarily into morals. Ive always been told that guys treat woman the same way they treat their mothers. If thats still the case, we have a serious problem arising.
When a gentleman attempts to approach you in public, give us some advice on how it should be done?
Excuse me..... ( Not "Ay Red", or any other color) Also don't get mad if I don't speak to you after youve disrespected me and then call me every name in the book. I'll speak to you if you respect me. Last, don't ask me for my number before you ask me for my name....who are you going to ask for???.
Give us a description of a normal evening at home with you?
Hmmm, if it's with my man a normal evening is a lil foreplay followed by the game and then a movie or sportscenter. If it's with family it's probably watching reruns of Martin or the Cosby Show. or a movie. Friends...now you know I'm out getting a lil tipsy somewhere!
Overall today there's a lot of talk regarding sisters and the whole bisexual movement, if you want to call it that. What are your personal feelings regarding this rising 'phenomenon' among black women?
I don't think it's a movement I think it's greed. I'm personally fine with my man and if I'm not pleased on a particular night I just pull out my vibrator.
What are your thoughts regarding brothers on the DL(Down Low)? This seems to be a growing issue with our sisters today.
Just come out! I have quite a few gay guy friends and they're some of the best friends I have. If they're on the DL it's outta fear but whats living a life of fear if you still can't be yourself? As long as you're not hittin' on me though you're straight.
What are some of your other interest outside of modeling?
Acting, Singing, Dancing!
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
Living the dream "Love, Peace and Happiness! Okay most in depth...I see myself being in a few motion pictures and about 2 successful albums all while being featured in several magazines!
What advice would you give to young women considering a career in modeling?
Get your mind right! Don't degrade yourself to get where you want to go because in the end you will lose respect for yourself and the respect that others had for you!
