presents:
Dana Lemor
CMP: We would
like to welcome the Miami, Florida Model Dana Lemor to the Carolina Model
Project!
Dana Lemor:
Thanks a lot! It is a great honor to be a part of the CMP family! 
CMP: Who is
Dana and what is a day in the life of Dana like?
Dana Lemor:
Dana is a little hottie raised in a Conservative Jewish family (Lol!) A
day in my life goes a little something like this: I get up in the morning,
go to the gym to work out. My favorite is spinning and Pilates! I like to
cook healthy meals to keep up my energy. I do a lot of work on the computer,
as far as submissions and checking on castings and jobs. I go to
appointments with the local agencies..
CMP: How is
the modeling scene in Miami and how do you think it ranks against NY and
LA?
Dana Lemor:
Miami is seasonal in the fashion industry. It follows the trends of Paris
and Milan which set the tone. Commercial work is available year-round. The
LA scene is more acting oriented. As far as modeling, LA has more of an
American flare, whereas Miami is more International. The New York scene is a
mix of high-fashion and runway.
CMP: When I
Googled your name, I found you are on a lot of websites with some great
images of you (two green leafs, caution tape), what makes a great image to
you?
Dana Lemor: Isn’t
this business great? I am very proud of my work. A great image to me is
capturing a moment. You have to capture the mood, movement, expression and
ambience of the moment.
CMP: Speaking
of the Internet, I see that you have a MySpace page, are you a MySpace
addict?
Dana Lemor:
No I am not a Myspace addict (Lol) I use Myspace as a networking tool and
have acquired some bookings from there.
CMP: Which
part of your body gets the most compliments and is there a part that you
wished got more compliments?
Dana Lemor:
My butt seems to get a lot of attention. I wish that my hands would get
more complimented, they are pretty and feminine (Lol!) One of my goals is to
be a hand model.
CMP: I will
go out on a limb and say that I think that you are all natural. Do you think
that industry puts pressure for models to get plastic surgery?
Dana Lemor: If
you’re asking if my breasts are natural, yes they are. I would say that
there is a lot of pressure to get surgery, but I try not to get pressured.
CMP: I know
there are all kinds of people in this industry. Have you had to deal with
any shady dumb ass “professionals” that if you just do this, then they can
make this happen because they know people, and what advice would you give to
someone starting out?
Dana Lemor:
I have run into a couple of wannabes who have tried to impress me with
stupid lines, but it turned out they had no connections and the wrong
motives. I would tell a model starting out to be extremely cautious. Don’t
assume anything, ask for references. Make sure an agency is licensed with
the state, don’t get scammed! Also, don’t go to photo shoots by yourself.
CMP: Are you
a full time model or are you leading secret double life?
Dana Lemor: Hmm…wouldn’t
you like to know!
CMP:
Have you had that star moment where some stranger has recognized you
at the mall in sweats for example? 
Dana Lemor: I
have been asked for my autograph on a couple of occasions.
CMP: Have you
ever had an embarrassing moment on a shoot or at an event and if so, what
happen?
Dana Lemor: On
a shoot, no I haven’t. I have had the heel of my shoe break at a promotional
event once. It wasn’t that embarrassing though…
CMP: What do
you think gives you an edge over other models that don't quite make it?
Dana Lemor: In
the modeling industry you have to maintain a positive attitude as well as
learn how to deal with rejection. I like challenging myself by setting more
goals for myself.
CMP: Where do
you see your future in the modeling industry?
Dana Lemor:
As my modeling career progresses, I hope to work with more professional,
well-known photographers and agents. I hope to obtain more national
exposure.
CMP: If you
could move anywhere and do anything, where and what would it be?
Dana Lemor:
I would move to LA and pursue acting.
CMP: Are
there any rumors or persistent stupid questions about you that you want to
put to rest for once and for all?
Dana Lemor:
I would like people to know that I am not just another pretty face and
body. For example, as a college graduate, I had the choice of choosing this
profession, it did not choose me!
CMP: Thanks
for letting us get to know you a little better and we look forward to
hearing more about you in the future. Keep us updated!
Dana Lemor: Thanks
a lot! Please feel free to contact me anytime!
