Linda Tran's Interview
We were able to get an interview with the ever so sexy Linda Tran! This
was AsiaFinest.com's first interview ever! Read on!
AsiaFinest:
How did you get into the modeling business?
Linda Tran: Started off as a simple
hobby three years ago to see how the Internet really works. I just graduated
from high school and was working a 9-5 office job in the summer... although
most of my hours were spent surfing the web. I found the whole online
modeling industry by accident, but it intrigued me and I figured that
if some of these girls could do it -- well, so could I. I was working
as a marketing assistant back then, so it was sort of like practice for
my job -- marketing myself as a potential model. =)
AsiaFinest: Any goals that you want
to achieve but still haven't?
Linda Tran: I'll be working toward
an upper-grad design degree this winter. My long-term goal is to turn
my small web company into a full-scale advertising design agency.
AsiaFinest: Tell us about your most
exciting or funniest moments.
Linda Tran: Merging with Playboy Playmate
Devin Devasquez. We're tired of seeing the industry inundated with blonde
hair, blue eyes, fake tans and silicone. Since we both have exotic looks
and natural breasts, we figured it would be great to promote together
and let the guys out there know that sex appeal is not just about Pamela
Anderson! LOL Over the next year, Devin and I will be making a handful
of appearances together at various expos and special events.
AsiaFinest: What was your favorite
project or work to this date?
Linda Tran: I booked an all-expenses
paid modeling assignment in Dublin, Ireland a short while back... It was
an incredible experience and one that truly opened my eyes to a different
culture.
AsiaFinest: What's the most embarrassing
moment in your life?
Linda Tran: I have no idea -- I get
over my embarrassments so quickly that I forget they ever happened!
AsiaFinest: How has the Internet changed
your life?
Linda Tran: Modeling-wise, it's given
me an amazing amount of exposure and opportunities that I otherwise would
not have if I was only modeling mainstream. Personally, it's made communication
a lot simpler for me, since I have friends and family all over the world...
e-mail is just the greatest thing! Career-wise, the Internet is my life!
Web design is a very stimulating and challenging field... I'm always learning
something new.
AsiaFinest: Did you parents support
your decision to model?
Linda Tran: My parents are supportive
of anything I do -- I've always been very independent and stubborn, so
they pretty much just ride the wave with whatever I end up doing!
AsiaFinest: What's the hardest part
of being a model?
Linda Tran: Criticism -- you're constantly
being judged for the way you look, weigh, act, etc.
AsiaFinest: Where would you be today
if you weren't a model?
Linda Tran: I'd be more involved in
the advertising industry as a graphic and interactive designer.
AsiaFinest: For the male visitors
of AsiaFinest: Are you currently single? How would a guy approach a beauty
like you? What do you look for in a guy? Turn Ons and Turn Offs?
Linda Tran: I am happily taken right
now! =) I like guys who are good-looking, funny, sociable, with straight
white teeth... guys who enjoy luxury and the high life, but can also be
down-to-earth and humble. Turns ons: fresh cologne, bubble baths, men
in suits. Turn offs: bad hygiene, guys who play games, jealousy.
AsiaFinest: Seems like you love to
hang out in NY, which areas do you like to hang out in and why?
Linda Tran: I love Chinatown for the
food and little tea shops, SoHo for the shopping, East Village for the
hip bars and lounges, and Williamsburg, Brooklyn because it's quickly
coming up in the NY scene as "the" place to be.
AsiaFinest: Has the tragic Sept 11
event affected you in any way?
Linda Tran: Definitely -- I was lucky
to have already moved out of NYC before it all happened, but I still have
a lot of close friends in the city who experienced the attacks and aftermath
first-hand. It truly opens your eyes and allows you to see how fragile
life can be and how quickly something can be taken away from you. In remembrance
of the attacks, I'm sponsoring a Red Cross donation drive through my website.
All membership proceeds from my site from Sept - Oct will be donated to
this organization, and I encourage my fans and members to contribute as
well.
