Labor Day is the nation’s friendly reminder that summer is almost over.  At Blitzed Mag, we thought it would be nice to give a nice memento of why summer will be so missed when it’s gone!  We photographed our model, Melissa, on a cloudy day at an uncrowded Southern California beach.  After a few minutes of watching Melissa strike a few poses, we forgot all about the fact that the sun didn’t show up.

Melissa told us that she started modeling just a few weeks before our shoot.  She could have fooled us.  She brought some serious game to the table and left us believing that she has a very bright future in her modeling career.

Have a look for yourself.  We think you’ll agree.

Melissa answered a few questions to help us get to know her better.

What made you want to become a model?

I’ve wanted to be a model since I was about five years old. I remember doing my cheesy modeling poses for the camera with my mom. It was  a lot of fun!

What is your favorite sports team?

Go Angels!

Who are your three favorite musicians or bands?

Its so hard to narrow it down. I would have to say 1. AC/DC 2. Muse 3. Bob Marley. I love Rock ‘n’ Roll most of all!

What are your favorite movie of all time?

Its a tie between Forrest Gump, The Prestige and The Harry Potter series. I’m a nerd I know;).

What is the place you would most like to travel to for a vacation?

Washington D.C. because it has a lot of our nation’s history and great weather.

What is one thing about you that most of your friends don’t know?

I’m secretly a book worm. I love James Patterson books.

Would you consider yourself shy or outgoing?

Outgoing! I’m a people person. I like to make friends and make people laugh.

What was your most embarrassing moment?

I’m blushing just thinking about it. I was at a huge church function for teens and when everyone was sitting down, me and a friend dared each other to run up on stage and switch two chairs around. Well I was all for it. So we said go! and I ran up there and grabbed a chair, then I turned to switch it with my friend and I noticed that she wasn’t there. She had chickened out and I was stuck up on stage by myself. Then all of the lights came on I looked into the faces of 300 very confused people. I set the chair down and bolted back to my seat and sat very low through the whole service.

What are qualities you find most attractive in a man?

A great sense of humor, honesty and loyalty.

If you could have one wish, what would you wish for?

For there to be no more poverty in the world. I hate seeing people suffer and not being able to help them. I grew up in a poor family so I have learned not to take anything for granted. I try to appreciate everything I am given in life and not be forgetful of it.
