Glass sat down recently with the dynamic British model Chanie Moon.
How did you become a model?
I used to do favors for friends, One thing led to another. Everyone kept telling me to do it, so I thought why not?

What book, movie or song means the most to you?
September by Earth, Wind and Fire. It’s my mother’s favorite and it never fails to put me in a good mood because when I hear it, I think only of her, dancing.
Who are your heroes in life?
My family, my best friend, my boyfriend. They all support me no matter how crazy my ideas, and believe you me they are not normal ideas.

How would you like to be perceived by others?
I have a big heart and I just want to share it with the world.
If you were not a model, what would you be?
I couldn’t possibly pinpoint one thing. I’m an all-rounder. At this moment I am also working as a photography agent, which I enjoy very much. I like to be on the other side of the camera, I think its important to see things from both sides.

What advice do you have for other models?
It is important to remember that there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. Go and find out what that is.
