Masuimi Max is a professional model, burlesque performer and infamous troublemaker among other things. You might know her as the spokes model for PinUp Girl Clothing and other companies. Besides modeling and performing she has a growing interest in acting, some of the films you can see her in are State of the Union and a film by David Lynch called Inland Empire. In 2011, she joined the sassyNpunk family, and we couldn't be more thrilled! I recently got to ask her a few questions, and here's a what I found out...
When did you decide to start modeling and why?"I wanted to be a lot of things when I was a kid, but my earliest memory is one of me prancing down the aisle at church as if I was on a catwalk and my mother and father being truly horrified. LOL."
Did you consider yourself "beautiful" growing up?
"No. I was constantly picked on as a child. My father was in the airforce and we were constantly moving all over the place. I moved a lot before highschool and never quite fit.. everything that turned out good for me was bad growing up. LOL. Seriously, I was picked on for having big lips, slanty eyes and small nose.. I guess I looked like a cabage patch kid, ha ha!"
What is your greatest accomplishment to date?
"I'm not sure how to answer that question because I have had a lot of great things happen in my life and it's hard to narrow it down to one thing or instance. :-) I guess the thing I am most proud of is that I deal with things in a more positive way now, I'm always learning and I never settle on what I know." Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
"The next 5 years; I'm working on my makeup company, lingerie line and shoe line! I'm also working on a tv pilot, I hope it gets picked up!"
Do you wear you sassyNpunk products?
"YES! I love Sassy N Punk, especially the cute candy necklaces!"
