Time to party on with aspiring model, nature lover and creative artist ERIN FORD…
Give us a little more background information about yourself, Erin.
I grew up involved in Sea Scouts, horse riding, riding dune buggies around my grandparent’s farm and was a major theatre buff! My soul has always gravitated toward all things nature and the creative arts – whether it’s musicals, acting, modelling, painting or writing, it’s where I’ve always truly thrived.
What would people be surprised to find out about you?
The hobbies that bring me the most joy in life is camping, fishing, surfing and being out on the boat.
What is your best asset?
I love my height! Growing up it wasn’t always ideal to tower over my peers – especially the boys – but now I fully embrace it. I have so many girlfriends from modelling that I go out with, and I love how we tower over most of the men. Along with owning my height, I now value my confidence more than ever! I can’t believe how much it has grown over the past year.
When do you feel sexy?
When I’m taking care of my body and health. This year I’ve been obsessed with going on long beach and bush walks, which have given my body and brain a makeover.
What’s one thing you’ve learnt about men?
Men truly do mature later than women. I try to date a little older.
What do you look for in a man?
I rarely look. I met my ex-boyfriend when he was replacing the air conditioning in my house – I slipped him a note – and I met my previous ex while camping. I always seem to go for rugged Aussies, like surfers and tradies, and I maintain a positive relationship with all my exes. Is that a good thing? Who knows.
What’s one thing men should always remember about women?
Confidence, not cockiness, is key. Women appreciate authenticity and self-assuredness.
Describe your ideal date.
I once had a man take me out on his boat to snorkel with seals on our second date. Does that set the bar a little too high?
Maybe. What can we get you at the bar?
An espresso martini or a strawberry daiquiri, thank you!
Who is your girl crush?
Megan Fox and Pamela Anderson – they are two of the most beautiful women alive. They have this sexy, spontaneous, alluring energy that I just adore – risk takers who are unapologetically themselves.
What’s your life motto?
You are the energy that you attract.
What’s next for you? Any exciting projects on the horizon you can share with us?
Who knows! Honestly, every day of my life is different. I never really know what’s next until it hits me in the face. However, I can say I’ve built fantastic relationships with industry professionals over the past year, and I know that big things are coming for me.
Lastly, where would you like to be in five years?
I envision myself having travelled overseas, working as a stewardess and/or deckhand, starring in a few reality TV shows and movies, volunteering for worthwhile causes and definitely still modelling and rocking the runway. Maybe by then I’ll start to think about moving closer to Byron Bay and finding my cute surfer-tradie lover?
