Following the success of the ‘UK Stunners’ 2007 and 2008 calendars, the UK stunners are back again. This time grace yourselves for a bikini edition. The 2009 calendar will serve as a tribute to UK Stunners Founder, Kaya Bousquet, who tragically passed away in a car crash last year. Flavour caught up with October girl Venita and this is what she had to say.
Name: Venita aka Miss VMA
Age: 22
What modelling experience do you have?
Lol, where do I start? I’ve been modelling on and off for 2 years. My clients have included Sleek and New Era and most recently the UK Stunners Calender 2010.
How do you hear about the UK Stunners?
I worked in the same network as the founder Kaya, so I’ve followed the UK stunners since its launch.
What made you want to be a part of the UK Stunners brand?
I admired everything it stood for past just the aesthetic beauty. It was filled with self-empowered females from all regions of the UK and I wanted to be a part of that. There’s nothing more gratifying than supporting our talent collectively.
What 3 qualities does a UK Stunner need to have?
Apart from the obvious, strength of character, strength of mind and self-esteem.
What would you say is your best feature and why?
My smile because I use it whenever I feel positive and it’s with me all my life.
If you could choose to model for any brand or be in any celebrity music video, who or what would it be and why?
If I had to model for a brand it would be for Addidas, because I am athletically built and sports was a big fraction of my life at a younger age. I’d like to show it’s attractive and cool to be built that way and still be cool and trendy.
I would love to star in Beyonce’s video because she represents every woman to me.
What’s your favourite page from the UK Stunners calendar despite your own?
Erm…this is tricky, I’m not sure I could pick one so I’d say the back page because we are all in it but I love Georgie’s page. I think she looks incredible in it and an honourable mention to Chenade’s, Nia’s, and Becky’s.
What has been the most fun part so far being a UK Stunner?
The photo shoots because I’ve met wonderful hard working people. And I respect that a lot.
Who’s the sexiest UK Stunner? And why?
Kaya, of course (RIP). Without her dream none of us would have this wonderful experience and DeMented because she’s fabulous, down to earth and refreshingly honest. You have to be a strong person to handle the truth and I appreciate it when she tells it.
From this calendar, I don’t have one at the moment. Everyone brings something different to the table. I am particularly fond of the other two ravens Nia & Becki and my partner in crime when it’s party time Georgie. They have scooped my spirits up from time to time when I’ve needed it most for which I am thankful.
Who is the funniest member?
I’d nominate myself here haha. I can be seen as the biggest clown or trouble as Sequoia calls me. But I always mean well. Hopefully the others agree.
Which UK Stunner has a body feature that you envy and what is it?
Chenade’s abs are to die for. Becki has a pretty hot package as well. Sequoia’s is pretty impressive. If I had to pick I’d say Sequoias. But everyone has amazing figures.
Finish this sentence UK Stunners are….
Proud, inspirational women.
Where do you want to be in 5 years time?
Making big bucks. Like drake says ‘I just wanna be successful’, I’d like to be better than who I was before each previous year in every aspect.
