SESSILEE LOPEZ:
You know what? That's why you guys came over.
I'm Sessilee Lopez, I've been modeling for about six years now. I mean, I was playing basketball, hated it and I sucked. And I was just there to meet the other players because I was like a sky scraper. I'm big into foot ball kind of recently. It's kind of cool, tackling people. My husband plays for the Mets, well, my future husband if you're watching. Jose Reyes. It's cute little guys in tights.
I'm Philly slash Harlem girl. See a tall girl walking down the streets in New York, you're like oh, that's a model but if you're super tall in Philly, they're like is that the girl from the WMBA? I'm usually like in skinny jeans and a T-shirt, like, you know, a, T-shirt. I walk around all day every day in heels. It's like a really nice out of this world high heel. I love my heels. I want some calf muscles. So I started doing kick boxing so you could just kick somebody in the throat if you need to these days. What? You don't want to book me? Cha. But you mean like how I got discovered or something? I heard like convention on the radio, begged my mom, she said no and then she finally said yes. And everyone said no and she's turned into the most determined woman in the world and took me to New York. Our group goes through a million and one castings a day and then, uh, finally Steven Meisel, you know, he gave me the chance and gave me the cover of Vogue.
I have my own unique signature walk. You got to have confidence baby. Because I mean we're walking around half naked. You've got to know what you're doing and be able to strut that stuff.
Modelinia, Modelinia, Modelinia, It's the best place in the world. Come correct next time. (LAUGH) Yeah. I don't need credentials. Listen, all you security guys at Bryant park, I'm model.
