Today I sat down with model Adelayde Orchid to find out a little more about her. Adelayde is one of my favorite models. I have worked with her 11 times in the past, and look forward to many more shoots. Enjoy the interview, and be sure to click the links below to find out more about this wonderful model, and person.
1. What is the meaning behind your name?
Adelaide is a name that was in my family about a hundred years ago. I liked it, stole it, and made it my own a bit. Orchid... well, that's a flower.
2. How old were you when you starting modeling?
I had my first real photo shoot, when I was 22 years old. That was almost 5 years ago.
3. What made you want to be a model?
I aim to change the face of what is beautiful. Everyone is sick of fake women, and everyone knows they like a girl with a bit of an "edge." I am proud to be one of the many women who represent what is truly beautiful.
4. What style do you prefer when modeling?
I consider myself to be rather versatile. There are many styles that I want to try. I seem to be most comfortable naked, though.
5. Is modeling a full time job? If not what else do you do?
Modeling is not a full time gig for me. Maybe someday, but right now, I have to focus on raising my son, finishing my degree, and keeping my little family afloat. During the day, I work retail, and I also own my own small handmade jewelry business.
6. . What type of photographer do you like. One that directs every move, or one that lets you just do your own thing?
I guess that all really depends on the assignment. If it is an art project of my own, then I would like to do my own thing. That's about the only situation where I wouldn't mind a little direction every now and again.
7. What do you like best. To shoot on set, or to shoot on location, and why.
I have not had too many opportunities to shoot on set, so I would have to say that I enjoy working on location. The excitement of reaching our destination to get some great images is always a welcome feeling.
8. Do like to work alone, or do you mind working with other models.
Most of the time, I do prefer to work alone. I am like that with the majority of the things I do, though. I do work well with others, when I have assignments that involve other models.
9. Do you like working with male or female models better?
I do not have any experience working with male models, and I believe I have kept it that way for a reason. I find myself much more comfortable posing with other women.
10. What is your favorite junk or comfort food?
When I feel like indulging, I go straight for a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. <3
11. What do you sleep in?
When I can, I sleep in the nude. Most of the time, my son is sleeping in the next room, though, so I sleep in a t-shirt and panties.
12. Dogs or Cats?
I used to be a strictly dog kind of girl, but I was recently won over by the sweetest kitten in the world. When my son's fish died, I got him a kitten. Cooper is absolutely the most adorable cat ever.
13. How many tattoos do you have?
Honestly, I lost count a couple of years ago. However, I do know that I have somewhere around 25 hours of work, head to toe.
14. Showers or Baths?
Both are amazing in the right situation. After a long day with a lot of manual labor or exercise, I love a steaming hot shower; but if I've had a long day of racking my brain, I love a nice, relaxing bath.
15. What do you like to do on your days off?
Most of my days off are packed with errands and child rearing. I've I'm lucky enough to have time while my son is at school or with his father for the weekend, I like to craft and adventure. The best days are when I get to just see where the day takes me.
16. Do you like interacting with your fans?
Fans? I have fans? ;P I just like interacting with people. It is even more awesome if they like my work.
17. How do you deal with fans that become let's say a problem?
How do I deal with creepers? Since most of the sites I am on have certain rules about certain things, I usually flag that person or their message. I have luckily never had any creepers bother me outside of the Internet, but I would handle that however the situation deemed necessary.
18. Where were you born, and grow up?
I was born about an hour south of Chicago, Illinois; when my father was in the US Air Force. When he had served his country for four years, we moved back to my parents' home state of Maryland. I have lived here, with the exception of a year in 2005, for my entire life.
19. Are you single?
I am currently single and loving it. <3
20. How long do you think you will continue to model?
This is a question I had not put much thought into until now. I am 26 years old now, and I have been doing this for almost 5 year. I know I haven't done all of the amazing things I want, and have the potential to do. I guess I'll retire, when I feel I have truly accomplished those goals.
21. What is the one thing most people don't know about you that would shock them if they knew?
Well, if they didn't know that I am a mother, the fact that I have a child would probably shock most people. I'm a tiny person. I guess people can't see me being all big and pregnant. I was though. Lol
22. When home alone what is your perfect day?
My perfect day, home alone, consists of purple fuzzy slippers, a Law & Order marathon, and my phone and computer turned off. I like to indulge in "me time."
23. Do you have a wish-list for fans to send you stuff.
Adelayde's Wishlist can be found on Amazon
