24: Please introduce yourself to all of the readers and let them know who you are and where your from?
Erica: My name is Erica Nelson and I am a model/dancer/actress originally from NJ. Currently, I reside in Tampa, FL but do a lot of traveling.
24: How did you get into modeling?
Erica: I started modeling about 2 years ago with the help of my best friend, Sara. She worked with some designers and had done a few fashion shows and I was really interested in doing it as well. I made some contacts, setup some shoots on my own, and the rest is history.
24: You have a very exotic look and I know all of the readers are trying to figure out your nationality including myself?
Erica: I am Puerto Rican mainly but have small amounts of Swedish and Black in me. I have been able to use my exotic look to my advantage and have passed for many nationalities including Indian, Asian, Italian, and Pakistanian.
24: I must say in the day and age where a lot of models are getting extra help to get there bodies looking right you bring a “Breath Of Fresh Air” with your figure to the model world I must say. What are your measurements?
Erica: Ha, I am completely opposite of a high fashion model body but nevertheless I love it. My measurements are 34-25-38 and the 38 part always fluctuates up to 39 depending on my diet lol.
24: Which of your photo shoots to date would you say was your favorite and why?
Erica: Wow, tough question. I normally would say the best photo shoot was probably one that gave me a big stepping stone in the industry but it was actually just my first lingerie shoot. The reason is because I was stuck in this commercial setting where everything was all smiles. Don’t get me wrong I love that side of modeling too. But with my “different” look and the sexier feel in that atmosphere makes me more comfortable. Plus, I love lingerie.
24: I know all of the guys reading will be upset if I don’t ask this question so are you in a relationship right now?
Erica: I’m not in a relationship lol. People always ask how can you not be or who messed up with you. It’s really just a matter of me focusing on my career and doing what’s best for me right now. Certain relationships can add strain to an already tough industry and hold you back from your full potential and that’s not something I want right now. I won’t push someone away who I really connect with, but it has to feel completely right.
24: You seem to be a very romantic woman so tell what’s the most romantic thing you have ever done for someone your were dating?
Erica: I’m one of those people who are more into the “little things” and think you should be romantic the whole year through, not just on Valentine’s Day. I love to make my significant other feel good whether it’s massaging their back and feet, making a nice dinner, running my fingers through their hair (if they have hair, if not that’s totally cool too 😉 and just letting them know they are the only one holding that position in my life.
24: Tell me what part of your body would you say is the most sexiest part to you and why?
Erica: I like my eyes the most. Since your eyes are the window to your soul, I believe mine tell my story just right. They can be the softest, kind eyes you’ve seen or the fierce, back the hell up ones. Growing up everyone thought I was Asian since they are almond shaped and to me that has been the one feature to really set me apart.
24: What part of your body would you say gets the most attention?
Erica:Depending on the day it changes. Some days it will be my eyes, then my lips, or my butt, and lastly my thighs. Even asking my fans I get a tossup from them too. It’s never consistent which I guess is good because that lets me know I have more than one thing going for me.
24: Outside of Modeling what are somethings that you want to get into?
Erica: Well I have danced all my life and currently dance for a Hip-Hop/Reggaeton group called Above Da Rest. Also, I am a dancer for the XFC which is a part of the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). I would love to take my acting more mainstream and focus on that more as well.
24: What should everyone be looking out for from you in the near future?
Erica: Well, I will definitely be performing at the upcoming MMA fights, I have a front cover for a magazine coming out which unfortunately I can’t disclose yet, and also a spread in another one. Once the issue dates are available on both I will let you be the first to know. Besides that I am moving to LA by the end of this month and have a lot more work waiting on me.
24: Tell me the best way someone can get in contact with you or see more photos, etc?
Erica: To view my photos, and add me as a friend friend at the same time, visit me at www.myspace.com/erican44. My website is in the process of being built and should be available by September.
24: Do you have a last words for the readers?
Erica: I want to thank everyone who took the time to get to know me a little bit better and give a huge thank you to 24hourhiphop.com. Lastly, keep a watch our for my Dallas Cowboys!
