Who is Brittany Ireland?

I'm a free-spirit, intellectual, humanitarian, and of course, model. 

How did you initially get into modeling? What was the catalyst to you making this decision?

Talent and modeling agencies began to pursue me in my early teen years. Following the advice of my mother, I waited until I had grown in age/wisdom before signing with a well-known agency in Chicago. I fell in love with the idea of using my body as a way to express myself creatively. I began to get involved in all aspects of the shoot, often taking on the role of creative director as well as model. The love for the art is what has kept me going in this industry so long, and I make it my goal to continually provide my fans with unique and fresh shots.  

How did you build such high self confidence?

I have my family to thank for the level of self confidence I possess. They have always been my number one fan, and continually praise and hold me in high regard. They offer helpful advice when needed, and believe wholeheartedly in my plan to become a better me.  

Define what being sexy is to you?

Sexy to me is being confident in who you are. Confidence opens doors, creates independence, and allows you to learn from mistakes and move forward. Confidence makes the unattainable attainable and guides you down a path of happiness and success. When someone is confident in who they are they omit an aura of assurance and composure, which thus translates into sexy.  

What does you diet and exercise regimen consist of?

I'm a big promoter of super foods. They are packed with vitamins and nutrients and make my body feel amazing. I implement them daily in my meal plans and encourage everyone to do the same. As for my exercise regimen, I work out Monday-Friday with a trainer. Because of my intense travel schedule, I have to keep a few trainers throughout the country. It has proven to be very beneficial to me as each trainer has different techniques to work the whole of my body. On weekends I find myself playing tennis with my bestie or playing a game of basketball with a few of my guy friends.  

What experience do you value more and attain more personal satisfaction from as a model...

I love the creative process of each shoot. I love getting a chance to implement my ideas and have others in the industry respond well to them. Art has always been a passion of mine, and I relish every chance I get to delve into it.  

How would you describe your business and money making talent? What is 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?

I have a no-nonsense approach to business. I look for companies that have an outstanding reputation for being professional and tasteful not only on set but also behind the scenes. I work hard to stay on top and beat out the competition and I expect the companies I collaborate with to uphold the same position.  

Does that stigma follow you?

Of course - I would be lying if I said no. However, I don't blame anyone who may hold this type of stigma against me. We all fall victim to forming misconceptions/stereotypes against groups or individuals before we actually become acquainted with them. Nevertheless, if the proper time is taken, opinions can be changed on a daily basis.  

What is controversial and unique about you?

I eat candy on a daily basis, however, I never gain a pound and I have a perfect pair of pearly whites my dentist envies.  

Do you place any limitations on yourself in this industry?

Limitations are not necessarily a bad thing in this industry. Making smart decisions ensures more then a 15 minute ride of fame. Fortunately enough for me, I have an excellent team behind me helping me along my path to success.
