Interview Done By Mike Wilkerson
MW: Pease introduce yourself?
LC: To start off…My name is Lily, Lily Cheshire to be exact. I am a red headed-leather jacketed-fireball! I work as a 20 year-old model/actress from Philadelphia PA! I will have been modeling for three years this coming August! On top of that I am an overly active creative person and try to incorporate that into my career. I love my life and my job!
MW: When did you become a model?
LC: I became a model shortly before I turned 18 in the Summer of 2010! I participated in the Miss Maryland USA Pageant that October at the age of 17 and my name became known!

MW: Why did you become a model?
LC: I became a model because ever since I was born, modeling has always been what I wanted to do! To me modeling is more than just having my picture taken in amazing outfits. It is an art form. I paint and design on the side and when I model instead of me creating the picture, I AM the picture. Also, I am shorter than most models (5’5”) and I wanted to prove to people that modeling is not just being about tall and thin! It is about being your own person, being creative, fun, and driven, which is exactly the type of person that I am.
MW: What kind of modeling do you do?
LC: I do lots of lingerie, swimwear, and body art modeling! The shoots I do are very liberating and allow me to be myself! I also do a good amount of promotional modeling and working conventions promoting. I love it! It is so fun to meet new people and work at such incredible events. And, from time to time, I will do runway shows and fashion modeling! I never limit myself to one genre of modeling! I love it all!

MW: What magazines have you posed for?
LC: I have been in Next Level Magazine twice now! As well as VNB Magazine and Essere Magazine! I also have been featured in a number of online articles and advertisements! Keep an eye out for more publications with me in it in the future…I have a big one coming up but I can’t say which just yet!!
MW: Have you done acting? In what?
LC: I have done lots of acting! I used to perform in Disney World in front of Cinderella’s castle and parades! I also have training in improvisational acting as well as theater and musical performance! I have acted and starred in a few music videos for songs written by Kevin Savigar.

MW: Where is your favorite place to model?
LC: My favorite place to model is at Gallery ML in Philadelphia PA! The gallery consists of fine art and body art canvases (it is insanely beautiful). They have living canvases as well as photographed body paint and even body castings! That gallery has such creative and talented contributing artists and great exciting events! I would spend all my time there if I could! It is such a great place!
MW: Who is your favorite photographer? And why?
LC: My favorite photographer is Doug Sounders. Because, he worked very hard to get where he is today, he is talented, and he is a very genuine person….AND on top of that he is a marvelous photographer and editor. It is so great to see someone with such great talent and personality is successful.

MW: What do you hope for in the future?
LC: In the future I hope to continue working as a model/artist/actress! I mainly want to become a successful public figure and serve as a role model to women around the world to show them that you don’t have to have a specific body image etc. to become a model. You just have to be yourself and not give up. I face plenty of constant rejection due to my height and body type but that never stopped me! I just continued to be myself and remained inspired. I am also working on getting into more publications in the near future so keep an eye out for those!
MW: Do you do appearances? How can someone book you?
LC: I do in fact do appearances! I have worked on radio shows and even conventions! If you would like to book me feel free to contact me via email at Miss.Lily.aa@gmail.com or on my Facebook page! www.facebook.com/lily.a.cheshire

MW: How can fans reach you?

MW: What would you like to say in closing?
LC: I want to thank Blastzone and Mike for interviewing me! I also want to thank all the readers for taking the time to get to know me a little more in depth! There is a lot more to me than my pictures! I would love to see you all at an event I am in sometime in the future!
