Interviewer: Bryan Tu
Model: Jessica Xiao
Bryan: How did your modeling career begin?
Jessica: Well it's been happening since I was little my friend was a model and they'd be doing all these photo shoots and I’d be stuck helping out behind the camera, but what really got me started was my pageants. After doing pageants I got to travel to New York and met so many amazing people who worked in the photography industry and with that one picture it set me up to loving modeling etc. if that made sense hehe :3
Bryan: That makes a lot of sense!
Jessica: :3
Bryan: How did the pageants help you get to where you are today?
Jessica: Well I used to be against pageants, I still am secretly. But in the end built up my confidence to actually be myself, weird I know, but it made me who I am today.
Jessica: So it gave me the confidence to actually do shoots and after that it got me to help my self by networking meeting new people and so on and so on...
Bryan: Great!
Bryan: I see that you are starting to go by Simply Xiao and Fo Xiao, how did that come about?
Jessica: I'm still deciding what I shall call my self, as you can see simply Xiao I got that by living the simple things in life and the simpler the better (: I love to be simple. Fo Xiao would be because usually no one knows how to pronounce my last name, so it's like fo show but... Fo XIAO. (; And now I'm trying to be more simple by just keeping my name short Jess X. But I am still deciding haha I still can't find that right one that just might become known all around. :3
Bryan: What is your overall goal in the modeling scene?
Jessica: My overall goal is really many goals, one would be make a change, I know that might sound dumb but I've always wanted to help others but be able to encourage others to help as well. Second is to include encouraging girls that you can be anything you want, you don't need makeup or anything else. You can be your self and be beautiful. Last but not least to make amazing ART!!! <3
Bryan: How is the modeling world in your eyes? and where do you see it going?
Jessica: I think I see the modeling world as corrupt, yet tough competitive world. Where you get to meet many new faces, and find out these new faces just might be the right people to take you far. But I also see it other ways like the world is my playground. Depends on what you meant for the question.
Jessica: Where do I see it going? Hmmm I've always dreamed of getting up on billboards in china...etc nation wide, but for now I don't want to
be a bummer, but I really don't want to get my hopes up and dream too big.
Bryan: What was your most memorable photoshoot or event? and how has that helped or hindered you?
Jessica: Well all the shoots that I have done have been memorable, but if I had to choose I'd have to say shooting with The Higher Contrast. And why I say because I won't forget about his amazing portable studio, having fun as well as getting some great pointers to model from the photographer himself. (; For instance always keep your chin and neck far apart or else the shadows will make you have a double chin, and no one wants that.
Jessica: Oh and the whole time he was trying to catch my amazing burps on video... and in the end he actually did.
Bryan: That sounds like you had fun and learned quite a bit!
Bryan: Would you be willing to burp the ABC's for us?
Jessica: Haha I can try. I haven't done that in awhile xP I might embarrass my mother, she dislikes; it when I burp.
Bryan: Enough of the serious stuff! lets get down to the downright silly!
Bryan: What is your favorite color?
Jessica: Mmmmm it's hard to say because I like all the colors but I do like grey :3 even though it's not really a color...it's a color in my world haha
Bryan: What is your favorite car?
Jessica: My favorite car...I'm so indecisive but I've been interested in muscle cars to mustangs to imports, well I've been really favoring Audi's since I saw an R8 driving in front of me. But they are too darn expensive just like the newer skylines. sigh* But I don't mind the simple cars like a Honda Civic or an Acura and fixing them bad boys up (;
Bryan: Okay final question!
Bryan: Mac or PC?!
Bryan: Answer very carefully!
Jessica: Mac or PC.....is this a trick question? 0-0
Jessica: Hahahah
Bryan: No, just a very controversial one
Jessica: I'm an indecisive person man 0-0 this is like you want to die or you want to die? hahahaha
Jessica: Cause I love, LOVE, the MAC designs but I'm used to PC, been using that my whole life but not hating on MAC's cause MAC's are amazing too (:... don't hate me hehe
