Chantelle Paul

BWB - This site is about Beauty with Brains, you definitely have the beauty, tell us why you not just another AIR HEAD model?
CHANTELLE - That's easy, in primary school I was the one in the class that would walk out in anger because I didn't know what I was doing, then as we all no high school is a hole different set up. You got to shine so I made it my point to push past everyone and til this very day I do an IQ test all the time to keep me on point. I also own my own clothing company with a friend so I've got no choice but to have brains, the only thing I struggle with is spelling but that doesn't mean I have no brain's I think I'm really clever to be honest.

BWB - You’ve been independent at the early age of 16, how did you manage to stay focus?

CHANTELLE - Well my big brother was my inspiration to be honest, he took on 'The Father Role' and pushed and pushed. Also my uncle and his girlfriend made sure I done well, when I was in school, and as hard as it seemed at the time, its officially the best thing they ever could have done for me.

BWB - So tell us more about the T-Shirt business you have?

CHANTELLE - It's called Black Penny Clothing, go onto www.blackpennyclothing.co.uk, that's our website, its basically a clothing business and we personalize everything with Swarovski Crystals and hand make everything. There is only a few of every garment so nobody can rock what your rocking, ha ha. Most importantly the reason were called Black Penny and our symbol is a one penny because it symbolizes that we started with not a penny, anybody can do what they really dream. We did.

BWB - So what you say is your main focus, the modelling or the T-Shirt business?

CHANTELLE - Oh definitely Black Penny, the way I see things is if I put 100% into my modeling and it all falls down then I've got a business that's could have been big but I didn't pay attention were as I believe my t-shirt's and clothing have got serious potential to be huge!

BWB - What would you say is the negative parts about the modelling industry?

CHANTELLE - Ooo, the people that's try to rip you off, also pervy men that try and push you in a direction you don't want to go in. Although my pictures are more in the glamor direction people always ask me, how could some one make you do anything worse, oh trust me the things I've been asked to do you would be surprised! LOL.

BWB - How do you feel being seen has a sex symbol?

CHANTELLE - Well I don't mind to be honest it's the 21st century and let's be real, SEX SELL'S and people that know me, know that when I'm not working (modeling) I'm a prude. LOL. I would definitely say I love glamor more than fashion but like I said sex sell's!

BWB - When you’ve made it, how do you plan to give back to the community you came from?

CHANTELLE - Well in Manchester there are thousands of up coming artist and dancer's and model's trying to make it. My main priority will be to do everything I can to get them as big or even bigger as I will be because, the amount of people I see with so much potential I wish I was Simon Cowel because they could smash half the people that are already famous! LOL.

BWB - So are you single?

CHANTELLE - I am single and i loveeee it.

BWB - If you could create your ideal man from the UK Urban scene how would he look like?

CHANTELLE - Oh my god, ha ha ha. If I could name name's. Erm he'd be good looking and got to have swag that's a fact! I'm not going to try sugar coat it, I'VE GOT SWAG, ha ha so that's it really good looking and have swagg. Oh and got to be taller than me as I wear heels everyday!

BWB - How did the photo shoot go, for NUTS magazine?

CHANTELLE - Amazing I actually did that shoot in London and I loved it, there will be a new addition off mwoi on the shelf's as of next week 'Bedroom Babe's. I go head to head with another model.

BWB - Some people would say, for a serious model NUTS is a bad career choice due to it being like soft porn, what do you think?

CHANTELLE - Well, Like I said before, if you go into a shoot blind and allow the photographer or directers to push you then MORE FOOL YOU!, The pictures I have on my face book ect are not like soft porn and the pictures in nut's are just the same. I'm actually proud of how strong headed I am because when it comes to work it's what I say goes :) and I'd advise every model to be the same.

BWB - Would you do nude shoots like Play Boy and put ever thing on show?

CHANTELLE - Noo I would never ever put my 'Private's' LooL On Show never, but Topless I've done, and i love it :)

BWB - Being a model you must get more sexual attention than your average good looking girl, what does a guy have to do to get lucky?

CHANTELLE - Lol I'm just like any other girl no guy has to put in extra work because I'm a model no way!, I'd just say a guy has to make me laugh! because I'm a major clown! A bad friggin fool. :) Also be more of a friend than a boyfriend, i like the best friend connection. :)

BWB - How can you tell a guy likes you and just doesn’t to sleep with you?

CHANTELLE - Well the same applies for every girl really, but when it comes to sex trust me I make a guy work! Ha ha, I would never give it up with out truly knowing someone!

BWB - So, tell us what projects you have coming up?

CHANTELLE - Well a lot of photo shoot, also Video Shoot, Look out for Mr Mida's video out June! Also Zinc Ft Wiley's video and with out saying too much, look out for 'Nappy Boy's New video. :) I'm doing quite well if I do say so myself, ha ha.

BWB - Any final words?

CHANTELLE - Well I'm glad I got to do this because the people who don't know me really do think I have no brain's... but people can be pretty as well as smart . Don't let these films like White Chicks and Comercial stuff sway your opinion's of other girls. Look at Janice Dickinson she was one of the biggest models ever on earth and shes far from Daft that's a fact. LOL. Thanks for hearing me out. :)
