Check out Kelly’s full spread in the April 2013 issue of Amped Asia.
What’s your ethnicity and where do you currently live?
I am Vietnamese and part French. I currently reside in the Dallas area.
Why did you begin modeling?
As a young lady, I’ve always dreamed of becoming a professional model as well as being in the entertainment industry.
How did you get an agent?
It was actually unplanned. There’s this popular photographer named Duke Moore who personally messaged me on a popular modeling website and encouraged me to sign up for the “Fossil” casting (new shoe line) which was run by the DMG Management Agency. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the job because I was not the correct (shoe) size that they were looking for. But the DMG agents were very interested in representing me as a model so they invited me to come to their new talent casting call and the rest was history.
What’s the best and worst part about your job?
The best part about my job is to be able to meet new talented people in this industry as well as being able to do what I love most. The worst part are very time consuming because the shoot can be an hour far but it’s alway be worthwhile in the end.
What’s one thing you want to accomplish before you die (that you haven’t yet)?
Well, this is a very interesting question. I would love to be able to travel around the world and be able to make it big in the modeling industry in terms of tear sheets as well as being in the cover of a magazine.
What would you do with a million dollars?
Realistically, I would give half of that million dollars to my beloved parents who had worked so hard to make sure I become a decent young lady that I am today. After that, I would take half of that million dollars and travel to Vietnam to help out those poor unfortunate citizen whom are handicapped and homeless. I would form a homeless shelter facility to help the older homeless citizen.
If you knew you would never get caught, what is one naughty thing you would do?
Haha this sounds like a tricky question but let see… I would kiss a girl just to try it. Shh… don’t tell anyone!
If you had to switch lives with one person, who would it be?
If I had to switch lives with one person, it would be “Princess Kate”. Because she’s a role model for women all over the world. She’s known for her graceful demeanor as well as a well rounded woman. And let’s not forget that she get to married the handsome prince William!
Are you single?
Yes, I am currently single. I’m not seeing nor dating anyone at the moment.
What are the 3 most important traits in a potential partner?
The three most important characteristics that I find most desirable in a future mate are:
1) He has to be a gentleman (he doesn’t have to dress like Gary Cooper, but he should have good manners towards a lady, like saying “please” and “thank you”, opening car doors, let the lady go in first, and be respectful. Therefore, if he surprised me with a bouquet of flowers, that would definitely be a huge plus)
2) Second is honesty/integrity (a man who would jump through hoops just to keep his promises are very attractive).
3) Third is his ambitiousness (he doesn’t have to be wealthy/rich but he should have directions in life or should I say a drive for success. He should consistently try his best to excel in his career). My reason for not mentioning appearance is because from my perspective, looks are more like the icing on a cake.
What are your biggest turn-offs about a guy?
If the guy is rude or disrespectful.
What’s your idea of a perfect first date?
My idea of a perfect first date would be: having dinner at a nice restaurant then off to do some fun/spontaneous activities where it helps break the ice since you’re practically hanging out with a stranger.
