Interview with Morgan Caitlin


Today's interview is with 25 year old, budding star, Morgan Caitlin.  Morgan hails from Bellmawr, NJ and at the urging of Her friends, started shooting 3 years ago and has not looked back!


How did you get your start in modeling?

Close family and friends would consistently tell me to try out modeling as apparently, I have “the face for modeling.” Eventually, a friend of mine got invited to an awesome shoot in Atlantic City, NJ with an amazing makeup artists and handmade outfits. After that, I pretty much fell in love.


How long have you been modeling? 

I've been modeling for about three years now.


Is this a hobby for you, or are you looking to make this your career? 

I would definitely call it more of a passion and an artistic release than a hobby.  If it blossoms into a career, that would make all my wildest dreams come true!



What are some of your favorite parts of modeling? 

I love using modeling as an artistic outlet. I love getting my makeup done and changing into the character that I believe my team wants to create. When shooting, I pretty much black out and use past and present experiences, along with my imagination, to pose and create emotion through the images.


What is Your ultimate goal with your modeling? 

I'd love to be published in bigger name magazines such as FHM, Maxim, etc. I'd love to work with more incredibly talented photographers. I also hope to further my creative side by including some acting and more writing into my future, along with modeling.


Who are some of Your favorite photographers You have worked with so far?

This is such a hard question because I've created solid artistic relationships with so many photographers and have bonded with them deeply through that creative process. Just to name a few: Tori Collins, Chalo Garcia, Michael Knight and Vic Mac.



Tell us about some of your hobbies. 

I absolutely love staying active and healthy. I love playing sports and working out.  I have a high energy level so physical activity really help to center myself while also keeping my body on point.  I also love to write to release some of that creative energy and to tap into my artistic side.


Do you have any hidden talents?  Perhaps one that would surprise some of your fans? 

Hmmm... well, these are kinda lame but I can tie a knot in a cherry stem using only my mouth and I can make a three leaf with my tongue. Strange, but true!


If you had one bad habit you could break, what would that be? 

I'd love to lower my stress and anxiety level by focusing more on me instead of trying to help/taking on the problems of others.



What is your favorite song right now? 

I love so many different genres of music, it's entirely too hard to pick just one song. I can go from Jay Z to Lana del Rey to Led Zeppelin depending on my mood, so please don't make me pick a favorite!!


Favorite movie of all time? 

Old School, hands down - those guys are geniuses!


Do you have a celebrity crush? 

Don Benjamin could probably make my knees wobble a little and my speech to be slightly impaired if I met him ha ha Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie will probably forever be my woman crushes!



Do you have any projects you are working on now?

Yes, but the mystery is so much better than me just telling you!


Do you have any plans to open a personal website in the future? 

I actually have a personal web site already :) www.morgancaitlinart.com


Anything else you want to add about yourself? 

Stay positive. Keep dreaming. Nothing is impossible. And always remember, life is a journey, not a destination.

Interview with Abigail Rich



I must say, today's interview was one of the most interesting I have conducted.  Abigail Rich has a story that in all honesty, should be made into a movie.  A truly remarkable story of courage and perseverance.  In addition to being a Beautiful Woman, She has a zest for Life that is remarkable!


What was the reason that You wanted to become a Paramedic when you finished High School?

When I was a little girl, I was traveling with my grand daddy and we saw an accident happen right in front of us. He stopped and helped as much as he could and then the Paramedics arrived. I was so impressed watching them work to save this persons life. I saw that they made a difference in that persons life. From that moment on, I knew that was what I wanted to do.


I understand You had a tragic accident when you were a flight medic, tell us what happened.

While I was working as a Flight Paramedic on an air ambulance helicopter, we were on our way to pick up a heart attack patient on an oil rig when the helicopter had a catastrophic failure. The helicopter fell from the sky with myself and the rest of the flight crew along for the ride. Our lives were saved by the fact that we crashed into the canopy of trees that we were flying over. Had we not crashed into the canopy our landing would have been much much harder and surly would have killed us all. I was critically injured in the crash, having a tree branch running through my lower abdomen, multiple broken ribs, a punctured lung, a broken ankle and many lacerations. I ended up with over 400 stitches, 200 staples and two titanium plates to put me back together. I had three operations to save my life. My total recovery time took over a year.  Now I am a survivor, Actress, Model & Playboy Bunny.  So, If you think your dreams are impossible..........Impossible does happen, just look at my life.


You are a true inspiration for what You have overcome in Your life.  What is it that motivates You?

That I was blessed with a second chance to live the life I chose, Every day I see the sun come up is a blessing, I wake up every day happy with a smile I now live life differently then before the crash, I don't take the bad stuff seriously, I look at the good, the wonderful things in our world and try to help others to do the same.



June 19th, 2013 was a special day in Your life as You were honored by the State of Texas House of Representatives.  A truly great accomplishment!

WOW, y'all did you homework on me! YES I was, I am a Texas Girl and very proud of that, I was so honored when the State of Texas flew the Texas state flag over the Capital building in Austin in my name, I will always cherish that honor.


So how did You get your start modeling?

After about a year of hard work to recover, My Sister took me to Hooter's. She was telling me that I am still beautiful. I just did not want to hear that anymore. As I said before I never have thought I was beautiful but now it was even worse. I wanted to shut her up, so I asked to see the manager. When the manager arrived at the table, I asked him if I was pretty enough to be a Hooters girl. He got this big grin, looked me over and asked "when can you start?". In disbelief, I accepted. Within a week I was approached to model at a Trade show, and at that show others booked me for there next shows. The very next week I was asked to do test shots for a major cosmetic company which I still model for to this day.


From the work I have seen from You, Your modeling book is 2nd to none.  What are some of the images that You are most proud of?

OH, Well if you asked my photographers I am my worse critic, They now never show me my photos, I ALWAYS find something wrong with my photos, but If I had to pick some I would say the cute sexy one, I guess that y'all will have to figure which one that is.



I know You have done some work in commercials.  I'm curious as to what commercials You have been in?

OH my, lets see, Airing in Las Vegas, Cosmopolitan Hotel/Casino, Marquee Night Club, Club Fortune Casino, and Ellis Island Casino, then I have 2 that were nationwide, One for the Girl Scouts of America, and one for Live Leads.


You have worked on some major motion pictures such as The Hangover 3.  What was that experience like?

It was so much fun, lots of work and long late hours, The Cast & Crew were wonderful to work with, so much different then working a Television production, Lots & Lots of people always running around and each one with there very own job.


Do you have any roles in films coming in the future?

I actually have had several call backs, for feature films, so I am keeping my fingers crossed, I am trying to get those elusive SAG vouchers, so I can get my SAG Card 



I know you were a Bunny at the Playboy Club at the Palms in Vegas.  Did you get to hang out with any celebrities at the club in Your time there?  Any great stories from Your time at the club?

Well y'all have heard what happens in Vegas...Stay's in Vegas, it's the same for the Playboy Club, Everyone of our guest's were celebrities to me ;) But I love being a Bunny, The Playboy club was just the most classy, elegant, place I have ever seen, I am so honored to be a Playboy Bunny.


When You are not in front of the camera, what are some of Your hobbies?

Working with my horses, Dancing, Ice skating.


What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

That I am single, everyone always assumes that I am attached.....I don't know why?



If you could describe Yourself in one word, what would that be?

One word??? Really, you do know that I really am a blond, right? SO, lets go with "Country-Girl"  :)


Anything else you would like to add?

I am always looking for modeling work, I love what I do, So, no matter how big or small your company is, if you need a model, think of me, no matter where you are in the world, My Photographers and I can take care of your needs.


Any projects coming up that You are working on?

I am doing photos shots for next Feb now, and I already have photo shoots booked through next June, several Commercials booked AND I have accepted a lead role in an upcoming TV series. AND I was just cast in a upcoming Lyonsgate Feature Film titled "Step up 5", So I will be on the silver screen again YAAY!
