Hobbies: Working out, sports (basketball, football) writing working on my career as an actor.

Royalty Magazine: So how are you? What are some of your goals or plans for 2013? Tell us one thing you will do differently than previous years before? 

Kenneth: I would have to say I'm doing pretty good, no complaints. My goals and plans for this year are to progress in my career as an actor, model & comedian as well as work harder than the previous day and stay positive. One thing that I will do differently this year than previous years is, know when to let go of the negative people rather than hold on to them.

Royalty Magazine: What sparked your interest in modeling? How did you get started and what were some of the first steps you took to turn your dream or interest into a reality? 

Kenneth: Honestly I never thought I had the look growing up lol. I know funny but true, I was short and I guess you can say ROUND.  As I got older though, I got taller & slimmed up and started going to the gym.  My aunt actually put the thought of modeling in my head so I guess you can say I ran with it.My aunt got me started, she thought I should go get a test shoot so I did and I was amazed on how the pictures came out I had to double look.

Royalty Magazine: What are some of your accomplishments and/or greatest moments so far as a model? 

Kenneth: Well seeing how I'm more into acting and have done a lot in that area, one of my photos was published in a well known book.

Royalty Magazine: Who would you say inspires you to do this and why? 

Kenneth: My mom and brothers.  I can't say just one person though because they all have a part in what made me what I am today and continuing to make me the best man I can be. They keep me very humble.

Royalty Magazine: Society and media have a certain standard they uphold in order to be considered beautiful or successful. These standards are a lot of times unrealistic and don't always portray your everyday average individual. Yet people are developing eating disorders, getting plastic surgery and dying just to live up to these non realistic standards. 

It seems that most of these issues affect female models.  In being a male model, have you yourself experienced or know someone who has been through any of these issues?  In your eyes, what makes a model beautiful and/or successful?   

Kenneth: Because I'm still pretty new to the modeling scene I don't know anyone nor have I met anyone with issues on trying to be the PERFECT MODEL. Me personally, I would say just be yourself. Learn to be happy with your looks. You cant expect someone to love you and your looks if you don't!  People have flaws so you have to learn to embrace your flaws.  Know God made those flaws so that you can stand out above the rest!

Royalty Magazine: Any advice to anyone who feels that they need to sacrifice who they are just to be what the world considers "beautiful" or “successful”? 

Kenneth: I know the entertainment industry is hard and will try to get in your head as well as break you down any way possible. You have to keep Christ in your life and stay positive. Also stay away from hatred and negativity.

Royalty Magazine: How will you use your looks and/or talents to make a difference in this industry? What is one thing you would want the world to always remember about you? 

Kenneth: WOW that's a good question!  Well I have a gap.  Might not be a big flaw to some, but most models don't have them and are pretty much perfect. I don't hide it nor do i try.  I'm me and I want everyone to know the real me & not change what I am today, nor will I try. One thing I would want the world to remember about me is that I was very humble. A very down to earth person who always had a smile on his face and always made sure people around him did too.

Royalty Magazine:  How do you feel movements like Street Thoughts & Royalty Magazine help talent gain exposure? Would you recommend our Mr. or Mz. Royalty contest to other models or artists looking to increase their exposure and/or to build brand visibility? 

Kenneth: Yes I totally feel Street Thoughts and Royalty Magazine help talent gain exposure by pushing themselves to where they want to be and showing them the grind. If you can't promote yourself you cant expect someone else to do it for you!

Royalty Magazine:  How did you hear about the Mr. or Mz. Royalty contest and what prompted you to enter?  At this point & time in the contest, how do you feel your chances are of winning?  What motivates you to keep grinding & pulling in votes? 

Kenneth: One of my friends actually is also in the contest and I thought it was a great way to open the New Year. I feel my chances are pretty strong for winning Mr. Royalty. 

My motivation comes from the struggle, not just as a model but growing up from a child. I always told myself "sometimes to get different results in life you have to do different actions"!  I just grind in every aspect of modeling/acting and working.  I try to stay busy & meet people as well as let them know what I'm doing and see if they could support a model on the rise.

Royalty Magazine: Any last words, comments or shot outs? Anything you want to touch basis on that we haven't already? 

Kenneth: Well I am originally from New Jersey.  I moved to GA back in 07. Shout outs to MARK-DABOSS-BESS for challenging me!  Big ups & keep doing your thing.  My family...my best friend Whitney Hill (she always pushed me to keep going so I def thank her). To all my friends that voted & supported me...BIG THANKS TO YALL and to my hometown Glassboro, NJ.

Royalty Magazine: Thank you for your time and congrats on being our featured model of the day! You are Royalty!

Eye Color: brown

Royalty Magazine: What sparked your interest in modeling? How did you get started and what were some of the first steps you took to turn your dream or interest into a reality? 

Zymone: Everybody says I should be a model but I didn't think I had what it takes because I'm not paper thin. I never tried to model, instead I joined the army. Discovery of this magazine gave me hope. 

Royalty Magazine: What are some of your accomplishments and/or greatest moments so far as a model?

Zymone: I've been in fashion shows in high school but  as far as that I haven't accomplished anything else. My greatest moment was winning this contest.

Royalty Magazine: Society and media have a certain standard they uphold in order to be considered beautiful or successful. These standards are a lot of times unrealistic and don't always portray your everyday average individual.

Have you yourself experienced or know someone who has been through any of these issues?  In your eyes, what makes a model beautiful and/or successful?   

Zymone: I don't know anyone who has been through that, but I see it all the time on TV. In my eyes what makes a beautiful model is someone with the confidence and drive to be the best they can be. I believe your personality is a big part as well as physical appearance.

Royalty Magazine: Any advice to anyone who feels that they need to sacrifice who they are just to be what the world considers "beautiful" or “successful”? 

Zymone: My advice would be  if your not happy doing what your doing and you can't be yourself, then you should stop. In life I believe you should be happy at all times. 

Royalty Magazine: How will you use your looks and/or talents to make a difference in this industry? What is one thing you would want the world to always remember about you? 

Zymone: I would uses my looks and talents to inspire the younger generation to follow their dreams. I would want the people to remember me as a trend setter, but most importantly a positive inspirational person. 

Royalty Magazine:  How do you feel movements like Street Thoughts & Royalty Magazine help talent gain exposure? Would you recommend our Mr. or Mz. Royalty contest to other models or artists looking to increase their exposure and/or to build brand visibility? 

Zymone: I feel Street Thoughts and Royalty Magazine is a good look. I appreciate the positive outlook of this movement. Giving people hope and success is always a good thing. 

Royalty Magazine:  How did you hear about the Mr. or Mz. Royalty contest and what prompted you to enter?  At this point & time in the contest, how do you feel your chances are of winning?  What motivates you to keep grinding & pulling in votes?

Zymone: One of my friends asked me to vote for her so I decided to enter myself, just to see what the hype is about. My chances are slim with 24 votes, but winning "Featured Model of the Day" is fine with me. What motivates me is being able to win! 

Royalty Magazine: Any last words, comments or shout outs? Anything you want to touch basis on that we haven't already?

Zymone: I just want to thank Royalty Magazine for the opportunity. Mrs. Barksdale for putting me on. My cousin Hailey for pushing me to do better.

I AM ROYALTY! FEATURED MODEL OF THE DAY! (ANASTAZIA)

Say Hello to "Anastazia Beckworth", our Featured Model of the day!

Name: Anastazia Beckworth
Age: 25
Height: 5’ 0”
Weight: 102
Measurements: Bust: 33 Waist: 25 Hips: 36
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue

Hobbies: Swimming, fishing, hiking, camping, drifting (race cars), charity events/benefits…

Royalty Magazine: So how are you? What are some of your goals or plans for 2013? Tell us one thing you will do differently than previous years before? 

Anastazia: I am currently going to school to become an editor/writer/journalist and I would love to graduate with amazing grades. My goal with modeling/acting in the next year is to promote myself as much as possible, to be featured in as many magazines as possible and hopefully see myself in a commercial on T.V!

Royalty Magazine: What sparked your interest in modeling? How did you get started and what were some of the first steps you took to turn your dream or interest into a reality?

Anastazia: When I was 17, people started asking if I had thought about modeling. I never put too much thought into it because I wanted to be an actress. People always told me I had to be 6ft tall and I figured I had to be flawless for people to consider me a model. Since I’m only 5ft tall and full of flaws, I didn't even try. I was just recently given the chance to do commercial work and modeling with my boyfriend/photographer, Wesley Weaver, and friend, Matthew Boisson. I fell in love with being on camera, so I decided to really get into it and see where it takes me. 

My boyfriend found a bunch of gigs on craigslist for me, I started a portfolio on Model Mayhem, and I instantly got jobs! I just started modeling a week ago and already I've won a contest, have my own modeling page on Facebook, and have done 5 shoots! I’m very determined to go somewhere big with this now that I know I have what it takes!

Royalty Magazine: What are some of your accomplishments and/or greatest moments so far as a model?

Anastazia: My greatest accomplishment so far is winning this contest. I was so excited when I found out that I screamed! I’m working with Charles Valentine, who has had some of his photo’s published in big magazines and he has talked about submitting some of my photos. I would be thrilled if I actually made it into several magazines and started getting more work!

Royalty Magazine: Who would you say inspires you to do this and why?

Anastazia: My boyfriend is an amazing inspiration. He got my portfolio started and has been telling me for years that I could be a model. He’s the one that posted the link to the contest everywhere. He literally messaged all 900 of his friends the link, and sent it to a really popular Facebook page called “fap fap fap” so that I would get all the votes I needed to win. He is pushing me forward and helping me in so many ways! He truly believes in me and has inspired me to take charge and go for my dream.

Royalty Magazine: Society and media have a certain standard they uphold in order to be considered beautiful or successful. These standards are a lot of times unrealistic and don't always portray your everyday average individual. Yet people are developing eating disorders, getting plastic surgery and dying just to live up to these non realistic standards.  

Have you yourself experienced or know someone who has been through any of these issues?  In your eyes, what makes a model beautiful and/or successful?

Anastazia: I definitely understand what it’s like to look at a model and think “I wish I were that perfect”. I didn't realize how much they edit pictures and what they could really do to make their models flawless until I started modeling. Models are NOT perfect and there is no way you’ll ever look like the pictures! I am FAR from perfect but I know what makes me look good and what I’m comfortable with doing. I have had kids so everything in my midsection is ruined. I know that area doesn't look good, so I don’t show it off. I've learned that confidence is key, you cannot get a good picture if you’re not confident and no photographer wants to deal with shy people. I’m learning to love myself even with my flaws because nobody can see what I don’t want them to see. 

As for success? I am now rolling into my 15^th hour of modeling, networking and promoting myself as I write this. You only get what you want, if you work hard for it.

Royalty Magazine: Any advice to anyone who feels that they need to sacrifice who they are just to be what the world considers "beautiful" or “successful”? 

Anastazia: Only do what you’re comfortable with doing and porn is not the only way to go! I see so many women take their clothes off so that they get attention and I think it’s sad. I have had several photographers ask me to do nudes/semi nudes and I won’t do it! I am not comfortable with being naked and I don’t want that kind of attention. I don’t want my children, family or friends to see me naked or wearing just a bra and underwear. I have some risque photos, but I RESPECT myself and I think more women should too. There is enough porn in this world, I don’t want to add to it!

Royalty Magazine: How will you use your looks and/or talents to make a difference in this industry? What is one thing you would want the world to always remember about you?

Anastazia: I have got to be the shyest model in the world! I don’t consider myself gorgeous or beautiful because I use to be an ugly duckling, and I've seen myself naked! Even after winning this contest and seeing all the comments/likes on my pictures, I still don’t feel any different. I’m goofy, weird and awkward; I like to have fun and would love to bring that to the industry. I’m tired of seeing stiff, altered models in magazines. I've done it myself! I’d like to see more normalcy and natural beauty. I want to see personalities instead of perfect faces. I think that if I made it big enough, I could talk magazines into trying out a “normal people” subscription and go from there. Give people like me a better chance at modeling instead of watching it pass them by because they’re not made of plastic or “perfect.”

Royalty Magazine:  How do you feel movements like Street Thoughts & Royalty Magazine help talent gain exposure? Would you recommend our Mr. or Mz. Royalty contest to other models or artists looking to increase their exposure and/or to build brand visibility? 

Anastazia: I would love to see Street Thoughts and Royalty Magazine become bigger! They are awesome because they give everybody a chance no matter what they look like. This contest has shown me how awesome my friends are and that you don’t have to be perfect to win. You just have to sell yourself and appreciate what you get. I would definitely recommend the Mr. or Mz. Royalty contest to others, it has opened my eyes to how home grown success can be achieved and that modeling agencies aren't the only way to go.

Royalty Magazine:  How did you hear about the Mr. or Mz. Royalty contest and what prompted you to enter?  At this point & time in the contest, how do you feel your chances are of winning?  What motivates you to keep grinding & pulling in votes?  

Anastazia: My boyfriend found an ad on craigslist for Royalty Magazine and sent me the link. I opened it to see what the magazine was about and saw the contest. I decided to take my chances and once my boyfriend made the link to the contest viral, it took off from there and surprised us both at how fast my votes grew. I would have had over 500 votes, but unfortunately people thought that just liking the post instead of the actual link was helping me, but I still won the first contest so I’m thrilled! After winning the first contest, I feel like I could win them all and I plan on it! Seeing how supportive all my friends are and watching the votes continue to rise really helps me push forward and drives me to succeed!

Royalty Magazine: Any last words, comments or shot outs? Anything you want to touch basis on that we haven't already? 

Anastazia: Wesley Weaver/Penumbra Productions, thank you soooo much for giving me the chance to do this, for pushing me forward and being maniacal when it comes to my success. Matthew Boisson/Boisson Media, thank you for giving Wesley and I a chance to show our true talent in your commercials and using us for all of your advertisement. To everybody that shared/liked my link to the contest and liked my modeling page “Anastazia”, THANK YOU! You all have shown me how amazing you are and knowing I have your support has really built my confidence and motivation to keep going. Mom(Kritter’s Leather) and dad, thank you for my genes! :p
