It is a really populated area that is about 30 minutes outside philadelphia. There is always something to do and somewhere fun to go. <br><br> * How did you get involved in the entertainment industry? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: When I was little I was always purused by modeling agencies and started getting into acting when i was about 14. I did a few things but decided to spend more time cheerleading and being a teenager. I was away at school when my best friend Lindsay submitted my pictures into the howard stern show to meet with an executive photographer of playboy. <br><br> * What does it take to transmit sexual energy in a powerful way like you did in Playboy? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: I think you have to have a natural confidence about you. You have to feel sexy to seem sexy. <br><br> * How has Playboy's May issue changed your life? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: It has made my life a lot more active. I am constantly on the go and still doing school full time. It has led to other modeling opportunites that I am very happy with. Hopefully there will be a lot more to come. </td> <td width="250" align="center"><center> <img src="shannon_james.jpg" alt="Shannon James"><br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>.<br> <font size="2">Agency: Ingenue Model Management.</font> </center></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" valign="top"> * What do you like most about your work as a model? <br><br><strong>Shannon James</strong>: Every experience is something different and interesting. I am always working with fun and beautiful people, so there is never a dull moment. <br><br> * What motivates you in a job and in your personal life? <br><br><strong>Shannon James</strong>: My family. I grew up watching all of them pursue their personal goals to the fullest. I have always been taught if somethings worth doing than its worth doing it right. <br><br> * Is it easy to be so beautiful? What is your workout regime and beauty routine these days? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: I think beauty is not only skin deep. I don't really <a href="http://www.modelsobserver.com/ab_workout.html">workout</a> or stick to a certain <a href="http://www.modelsobserver.com/training.html">diet</a>, but I do make sure that I give myself an adequate amount of time to focus on myself. The only way you can look good is to feel good. <br><br> * How was it like for you at Howard Stern Show?<br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: I was so nervous, but it turned out to be a very good experience. Everyone was so nice and a lot of fun. <br><br> * What it is like to be a blonde? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: Often people underestimate women because of their hair color. To me, this is just an advantage becuase I always surpass poeples expectations. <br><br> * <a href="http://gethairapymedia.com/pressreleases/colorPR.html">Askmen.com survey</a> revealed that almost 80 percent of men would prefer to bring a brunette home to meet mom. Are you surprised? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: I am a little surprised that such a large majority would prefer brunettes over blondes. I think as long as someone is a good person it shouldn't matter what color hair they have when meeting the family. <br><br> * What was the oddest situation you have been in, and how did you manage to get out of it? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: I didn't exactly tell my family about the Howard Stern show. I skipped that little part when I told them I was doing playboy. Evetually they found out. I just kept it short and sweet and said I did it, I used my best judgement, and it all worked out. <br><br> * I see you like writing poems! Would you mind giving me an excerpt from your poetry? It will be a good way for us to get a feel for it. <br><br> Spinning <br><br> Ever feel like your world is spinning<br> And there you are - right in the middle<br> No conception of what is actually going on<br> You try to reach out to grab a hold<br> To touch that bit of reality<br> Twisting and twirling<br> You know you can't stop<br> In fear that you will fall <br><br> * What does Internet mean to you? Do you spend a lot of time online? <br><br><strong>Shannon James</strong>: The internet means having access to anything you need to know at any time of the day. I am always on the computer and couldn't even function without my blackberry. <br><br> * What is the cutest thing about you? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: I am always smiling!!! <br><br> * If you were an animal / colour / brand (etc) what would you be and why? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: I would be puppy because people adore them, take care of them, and play with them all the time.<br> I would be the color green because it is easily found in nature. To me nature makes me think of peaceful scenes and serenity. <br><br> * What are your plans for 2008? <br><br> <strong>Shannon James</strong>: For 2008 I will be celebrating my first year of being 21 years old!!! I plan to continue with school and try to further my acting and modeling career. <br><br><center> <strong>Shannon James</strong> site: <a href="http://www.shannonjames.net/">www.ShannonJames.net</a>, MySpace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shannonjames2007">www.myspace.com/shannonjames2007</a>. </center> </td></tr> </table></center> </body> </html>
