St. Louis Model Ariela

Is St. Louis model Ariela really a dream? Ariela has a all natural body, exotic looks, perfect face, and legs for days as if she were a fine art painting. Ariela is all of that and more. She has the most incredible personality to match her exterior and as cool as they get. She loves to laugh and is as humble as they come, she doesn’t judge anyone and the list goes on and on. She is currently single and a diamond in the rough and a gold mine wrapped into one. Her modeling career is new but it won’t be for long after this feature publishes. Spending time with Ariela in St. Louis for her photoshoot was a memorable one for GMM.

Besides regular hygiene/shaving/grooming, I pick out the shoes I want to bring, and jewelry/accessories. I pack essential hair grooming products, facial wipes, and extra items to touch up my appearance. I grab a coffee, bottle of water, some mints, and am good to go to work!

What is the best info you can give a new model?

When you’re working as a model, just remember your role.  Respect the roles of the stylists, and any supervisors.  Don’t question or suggest to them a better way to do their job.  Maintain an open mind to critiques, but always remember your values, and your personal agenda.  Remember that others have an agenda as well.  But balance your agenda with humility, reason, kindness, and a willingness to learn; so you don’t come off as a “diva” or “unprofessional” with a “bad attitude.”  Steer away from arguing or confrontations with people in the industry, be it: photographers, other models, stylists, etc

Trying to develop a look for myself, that would distinguish myself from being seen as ‘just another black girl/ model’

Humorous memories, and insight as to how to work with different types of people, with difficult attitudes, and knowledge that business can be unforgiving, and many times feels like an uphill battle, but you must continue to strive on, roll through the punches, and not grow weary amidst storms.

If you had to walk away, what would you like to be remembered most for?

When it comes to your taste in men, pick one: “the bad boy” or “the nice guy”?
