What do you like about this job? What I like most is doing shows and travelling because it gives you such a rush to be moving around so fast in such a short time. It’s amazing!

q&a

Name: Gabriela Paszcza
Agency: Uno Models
Hometown: Krakow, Poland
Nickname: Gabi

As a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? As a little girl I was passionate about fashion shows and movies about fashion. Watching it I was dreaming that one day I will be a part of this world. And at that particular time everything has begun. I decided that I will become a top model. I waited quite a long time to make something to achieve it, but for a few months I have started making this dream true.

Describe a favorite childhood memory: Since always have I traveled a lot, mostly thanks to my mum. We use to go abroad every summer getting to know new places, interesting cultures etc., and these travels are my favorite memories.

What makes you happy? There are a few things that make me happy, mostly hanging out with my friends. I also like reading in my free time. In general I can say that what makes me happy the most is making my dreams come true, because in my opinion nothing make us that happy as our own successes.

the booker says

Not only is Gabi sweet and charming, she also has the kind of polifacetic look that can easily adapt to any kind of story.

q&a

Name: Lena Melcher
Agency: Photogenics
Hometown: Hamburg, Germany
Nickname: Never had one

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Animal explorer, then musical star and later captain on a cargo ship. Then I started modeling.
If you could hang with any three people who would that be? Barney Stinson, Barack Obama and Goethe. It would be best if we could hang all together.
What is a band/movie/artist/cool thing you recommend? My favorite book, The Cider House Rules by John Irving. And taking buses, it’s good for the environment and amazing to get to know a city. Another advantage: You can use the time to read (which you couldn’t if you were driving a car)

the booker says

One of the sweetest models I’ve met. She can always make the day beautiful.

What is one thing not many people know about you? Last year I trained to become a chef.

What’s the last song that got stuck in your head? Unfortunately I had Boy is a Bottom (a rip from Alicia Keys’ Girl on Fire) stuck in my head all of last week. If you haven’t seen it, be warned – it’s extremely catchy.
