How does one/did you go about becoming a freelance model/seeking that type of manager/representation as opposed to a typical fashion model?
I use social networking sites like tumblr, facebook!
I am my own manager and must actively seek work religiously

is where I get the most work
What is this baby video that people are talking about? i didn't know you were pregnant, you don't look like you ever had a kid!
So I watched the "Amanda" video last night. Wow. I almost cried. You have such a strong, powerful presence, I can't even describe it. So, you had your baby, and what happened? Is the babe still in your family? Did you put up the kid for adoption? Did you have a good birthing experience? It's crazy to think you had a kid at 18, you really don't even look like it. And now you told me your mom is having a baby soon. Do you come from a big family? You also mention religion...
The baby died at four months on Oct 7 2007
I had an amazing birthing experience. I was in construction painting and was a hotel maid back then and I was painting a house the day i gave birth! I felt very empowered. I was the healthiest I have or had ever been. I gained a perfect 40lbs and i looked and felt fabulous! I started feeling minor labor pains at about 4pm and they started to become ragular around 10pm. I went to the hospital around midnight or 1am. I stayed away from any painkillers or drugs until about 5am when i desided..fuck the pain..and the epidural kicked in perfectly on time when I could still feel the pressure of when to push but didn’t feel much pain. I gave birth around 7am in June. I was so proud!
My family is very big and yes my mom is having another baby! : )
You also mention religion... I notice you wearing a cross in some of your older pictures... do you still feel religion playing a big role in your family? also...on a completely different note, would you check out my etsy shop? I make and sell awesome little origami earrings... here: wwwdotetsydotcom/shop/coconutdream... btw, this probably sounds really creepy, but you have been in my dreams.
Yes, My family are strong Christians
I love being in peoples dreams. was it a good dream?

Have you ever suffered with an eating disorder? (I'm not saying that you look like you have or anything. I was just curious because you are in the modeling industry and I myself have one.) You're beautiful, by the way. :)
Thank you for the lovely complement.
No, I have never had an eating disorder myself.
because I am a freelance model my height and weight are not scrutinized by any sort of manager or anything.
Individual photographers hire me..if they don’t dig my look..if i’m to “fat”, too skinny, too short, too plain..too whatever…they just don’t hire me….my “look” is just not for them.
We all have problems…an eating disorder can be confertational because when people are around you or just see you they may take note.
but like any habbit, problem, disease…there are supports out there
but like a drug addict..i think someone with an eating disorder has to one day deside for themselves that they are ready within themselves to get healthy or change…how you go about that can vary.
loving..hell, accepting your body is hard for everyone.
the best to you and your self-acceptance/adventure/exploration
