Who am I?

Beauty is within the person as a whole, and that's how I would define beauty. so many people say that beauty is int he eye of the beholder, or that it's not skin deep, but these ideals are hard to believe when we live in a society that consistently tries to suggest otherwise. The same images of different models and celebrities are constantly presented to us, and even though they tell us to be ourselves, the message is subliminally underlined with the suggestion that you can be yourself, as long as you look like the image they want to present. Beauty should be all encompassing. How you behave as an individual, as well as towards other people. To me someone who is beautiful, isn't necessarily the most stereotypically gorgeous person in the room, but the one who is confident, is polite, considerate and genuine. You shouldn't be afraid to be who you really are, and that's something that I have learnt over the years, because unfortunately I spent many trying to conform to what I thought my pairs wanted and I wasn't happy. Learning to embrace who I am and not worry about every little thing others have to say has helped me feel like a more beautiful person, because I would be the last person to consider myself a stereotype and am actually my own person, that is happy and making my own way through the world as me.


What do I think about A New Kind of Beautiful TV series Presented by The Fashion Hero TV series?

Apparently I'm Charlotte, to myself and everyone I know, I'm Charlie and tend to respond to the latter the most. I am new to the modeling industry, however acting has been a past time of mine since I was little. However trying to 'grow up' and do the whole University and Work to pay of course costs thing, has made it harder to make much headway in the small acting industry that comes with being in a small country. Modeling on the other hand was something that I wanted to try, but never really felt comfortable with myself to take it further than a one day course when I was 15. Six years later, and I have signed with an agency that has helped me to overcome my lack of self-confidence and I have found that with a busy study and work schedule it has been a more flexible industry to try my hand at, and my portfolio is slowly starting to blossom. I love to travel and had an opportunity to spend 6 months away in the States and UK in 2010, and as a result, I still suffer from a mighty case of the 'travel bug'. The experience of getting out and experiencing just a small percentage of the world helped me to grow up from the naive 18 year old that left home, and meant that I came home with ideas about what I wanted to do with the years ahead. Acting was one of those and I enrolled in a BA in Theatre, plans changed and I am now studying Industrial Design, as the course was impeding on my passion for the performing arts. I hold a Diploma in Performance with the New Zealand Speech Board as well, which makes me an Associate of the Board and was completed over the space of 13 years… For those that have heard of Trinity Speech and Drama Examinations, the NZSB is something similar. I feel that given the chance to be a participant in The Fashion Hero would not only befit me and change how I see the world and myself, but also how the viewers might see me, as well as one another. I wouldn't consider myself to be a typical beauty and I have the frame to prove it, I'm far from perfect, but I'm now comfortable and confident enough to step forward and put myself out there as I am, because I know that this would be an opportunity that gives me direction and confirms that I can be a role model for those that fall in the grey area of industries and life alike.
