Check out what she had to say in the interview we conducted..

Hello Jaimie, I'm flattered you accepted to be interviewed for THE HUQ!, to start this interview off, please give me some background information. How did you initially decide to get into modeling? What was the catalyst to you making this decision?

I have always wanted to model I just never really believed I had what it took. I was such a tomboy growing up but when i started to get older i got more and more people asking if I was a model. I started modeling a little over a year ago when I was competing in npc bikini contests and a part of competing is modeling. Through networking i found this photographer who was absolutely amazing and I contacted her and the rest is history!

Modeling isn't a job for shy women. As a rising glamour model, how did you build such a high self-confidence?

Modeling came natural to me. I grew up being teased for having short hair and dressing like a little boy so when i had my first shoot it was just effortless I honestly believe I have an ultra ego when I model. I still blush when i see my photos because I can't believe it's really me

Define what being sexy is to you?

Sexy to me is being yourself. I am very comfortable in my own skin.

Jaimie, you have one of the most refined physiques that I've seen that elicits a high degree of pleasure from one's aesthetic senses, so I'm curious to know what does your diet and exercise regimen consist of?

Thank you!! I work really hard to keep my body in shape. I started modeling in the fitness industry and in that industry your physique is crucial! I love to lift weights and I lift sometimes 6 days a week. When I'm getting ready for a competition or shoot I incorporate more cardio to get leaner. As for diet I try and eat at least 5 meals a day keeping my protein high and carbs low. It's all about the diet!

How would you describe the image that comes across when people look at your photos?

I would have to say my image is sexy but approachable. I believe it's very important to appeal to both men and women so they can relate.

What experience do you value more and attain more personal satisfaction from as a model: the creative process behind an intimate collaboration with a talented photographer, make-up artist and/or designer OR seeing the reaction from your family, friends and fans as they bare witness to the finished product?

Of course I love having a fan base and keep them coming for more. But I have built some of the best friendships with people I work with in the industry. We can relate because we understand what it means to get a great shot and all the hard work thats put in to make an amazing photo.

Building huge popularity and successful modeling career demands business sense. How would you describe your business sense and money making talent? In other words, what are your criterion for selecting the appropriate companies to work with? When you are so coveted, I guess you say "no" more than "yes", am I right?

Modeling is a business and you must brand yourself in the way you want to be portrayed. When a photographer contacts me I have to be very picky who i chose to work with. If there is a bad or unflattering photo of me on the net or in a magazine that will always be there to be judged. I have to be in control of my image so I usually look at their body of work and look for references and then I go from there

There are a lot of misconceptions or stereotypes about glamour models. Does that stigma follow you?

I do believe there are a lot of misconceptions/stereotypes about glamour models it's not an easy industry. But I am very grounded and know what kind of person I am and the morals I have. For the most part I have recieved a lot love and support from the people in my life.

What is controversial and unique about you?

Honestly I dont see a lot of controversy with myself. I am very unique though. I have many attributes that people like I can be sexy when needed I can be sporty I can be funny all wrapped into one

What would you say sets you apart from other women in the same field, with similar goals?

I really have a universal look. I can transform myself and can pull off many different looks whether it be blonde bombshell or sexy brunette A lot of girls have one look and that is what works for them.

Do you place any limitations on yourself in terms of what you will and will not do in this industry to succeed, or do you have a 'by any means necessary I will get mine in the 21st century' attitude?

Most definitely! There are many things I will not do go get work or published I will not sacrifice my morals and beliefs for a job.

For all of the people, photographers, agencies and companies seeing you for the first time who will want to gain more information about you, tell them where they can go to see and read about some of your past, present and future projects?

For the time being I use facebook and model mayhem to network myself. I am currently working on a website (I am still new at modeling) my facebook website is http://m.facebook.com/ and modelmayhem is http://www.modelmayhem.com/1553913

How do you balance the "model" life with a normal and personal life?

As a model from a young age I have always kept professional verses private life distinctly separate. I have been reluctant on social media and what have you. I was the last person to join twitter about a year and a half after everyone else. I enjoy twitter for fun harmless banter and promoting various jobs/events. But if you share too much nothing is personal or private to you and those in your inner circle. Some things are best kept sacred.

What are some of your upcoming projects? What would you consider your biggest accomplishment so far?

Now I can begin to talk about my new TV show I start filming next month in Las Vegas. My show will air on prime time. So after years of acting this is finally my moment and I am also a producer on the show. I will boldly predict this will be my greatest accomplishment!

Lastly, where do you see yourself in 5 - 10 years?

I think it's only going to get bigger and better from here. My life has only gotten better with passing years. I envision a steady career in film/tv, maybe producing. Married with kids living in Beverly Hills or NYC. Possibly hawking my own line on QVC. Working more with charities such as the USO and ASPCA. But most importantly growing and evolving as a generous and kind humanitarian.
