Tell us about the moment you found out you would be featured in the magazine. What was your initial reaction? Christmas is my favorite season of the year. The warmth and joy we share with family and friends. I was elated to get the call during my family’s Christmas dinner. It made this Christmas 2025 all the more special. I had an overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude to know I’d be featured in January’s issue. What an amazing way to start the New Year of 2026. 

 
Can you share your favorite shot or spread from the magazine, and why it holds special 
significance for you? As a little girl, I would stay up watching old films, admiring actresses like Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor, and Ava Gardner. I wanted to be just like them. Seeing myself in the shot at the top of the staircase, drenched in diamonds and in a white mink made me feel I was a starlet in an Old Hollywood movie, oozing and embodying that feminine, sophistication, and timeless glamour those actresses portrayed back in Hollywood’s Golden Age of films. 

 
Are there any particular hobbies or interests outside of your influencer work that you’re passionate about? I want every woman to feel beautiful and special. There are so many times women go through different hardships, and having their makeup or new clothes can make the difference. So, for the past 2 years, I have led and organized an annual women’s clothing and makeup/cosmetic collection donation drive from family, friends, and other influencers. Then, at the end of the year, during Christmas time, I personally drop off all the collected goods to my local domestic violence shelter in Hollywood. I hope to one day make it a non-profit organization effort. 

 
Do you have a dream project or campaign you'd love to be a part of one day? One major career milestone I would like to achieve in the future is to land a guest starring role playing an old Hollywood actress from the 40’s in a tv drama series. 

 
What’s your secret to feeling sexy and confident in front of the camera? One of my secrets because I can’t tell you all, is to always get a good night’s rest. Sleep is so important. It rejuvenates and replenishes your body, mind, and spirit. 

 
If you could spend a day doing anything you wanted, what would your ideal day look like? Well, that depends. If it was a day on vacation in a city, then sightseeing and walking around the city is invigorating. If it’s at home in my day-to-day life, then spending the day at a luxurious hotel spa is where I want to be. 

Would you rather be loved, respected, or admired? That’s hard to decide. Because if you are loved, then someone admires you; if you are admired, then someone respects you. And if you are respected, then someone must love and admire you. So I want to be respected. 

 
Are you a city traveller or nature explorer? A little bit of both. 

 
What’s on your travel bucket list? My 2026’s year’s resolution is to travel to at least 5 new countries and exotic places around the world, starting with Amsterdam. Their canals are so picturesque I want to see in person. 

What is the most memorable date you’ve ever had? The date started like every other date. He offered to make all the plans and pick me up. But when he showed up in his old Terminator hummer, he had a beautiful bouquet arrangement of hybrid orange/yellow roses in his hands while he waited at my doorstep. He drove us to a small municipal airport where small planes and jets were stored. He pulled up to a jet that was waiting to depart. We boarded it and flew to San Francisco for dinner. It was out of a 
fairytale book. 

 
What makes you the ultimate partner to have? When I love and care for someone, they feel it. I get to know their love language so that I can express it in a way they understand. It’s important for both partners to understand and communicate with each other in their form of accepting love. I take that time to really get to know my loved one. That’s what makes me the ultimate partner. 

 
What is your favorite part of your body and why? My belly button because it small and cute… lol. 

A lot of young women look up to you. What advice would you give them on pursuing their own dreams? My best advice would be to speak your truth, honor your intuition, and be more fearless. 

Thanks for taking the time to speak to us. Do you have any last words to our readers and where can they find you? I hope they enjoy these photos as much as I did shooting them and if they like them, they can find me @missmarquis.
