Elena Belle Theanne makes her MAXIM debut
Beautiful shoot Elena, tell us a bit about it – where, when, the idea behind it, etc…
We shot at an amazing location called Weese’s Pieces . It is hands down my absolute favorite photo studio. The idea was to create something sexy but powerful. I think is important to show that you can both be sexy and powerful as a woman.
Are there any other funny anecdotes you can share about this shoot?
It might not be funny but the stylist never showed up for some strange reason so we were very lucky I had all this extra things with me. So the whole shoot is styled with my personal clothing.
Have you ever been to New Zealand?
I never been there is definitely on my bucket list. I heard that is very beautiful.
Where would you like to visit?
I would love to see all the beautiful nature you have. Do everything from zip lining to scuba diving, the beach. I also wanna see the glow worm caves.
When do you feel sexy and why?
I feel sexy when I have a happy day. I think energy is everything. You can look perfect but if your energy is off you have nothing.
What is your best asset? Physically and otherwise.
My skin I think. I’ve been very lucky with my skin. And I’m petite, but at the same time have curves. Otherwise I’m a very happy person and that’s a good asset for anyone.
Give us a little more background about yourself and your life story so far.
I was born in Ibiza/Spain but grew up in Sweden. Always dreamed about living in the US so one day I packet my bags and moved. I started modelling in Sweden when I was around 20 And that lead to several TV jobs that I did for several years. I moved to LA got married and had a beautiful daughter, Luna.
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I’m very down to earth. Most people don’t think that if they don’t know me. I also got widowed at a very young age.
Can you describe yourself in five words?
I’m sweet, loving, fun, crazy and adventurous.
How long have you been modelling and what would do if you weren’t modelling?
I’ve been modeling for about 15 years. If I wasn’t modelling I would work with real estate but I already started doing that and will expand with properties etc.
What have you learned about men over the years?
I think we all want love and an amazing connection. I think what people do wrong in this city is playing all this games. It just doesn’t work if you are not yourself and loving and emotionally available. You cannot connect with someone.
What’s one thing men should always know about women?
To make her feel special and loved.
What do you look for in a man?
I want a man with a good heart that’s loving and loyal. Someone who’s a hustler and has big dreams. I need to have fun with my partner and also have a good connection.
Describe your ideal date.
My ideal date, I think is not so much about what you do is more about the energy and the vibes. But a nice dinner is good for a date. I think it should be an environment when you can get to know each other and talk and have fun.
What can we get you at the bar?
Tequila or Apple Martini. Haha.
Got a hangover cure?
Sleep, heavy food and Coca-Cola. Water and pedialyte. But what really works is an IV.
What’s your best hidden talent?
I have many secret talents!
Do you have any phobias?
Yes, I’m scared of deep, dark waters.
Who is your girl crush and why?
My biggest girl crushes are Megan Fox and Marilyn Monroe.
What’s the freakiest/weirdest thing someone has sent you via social media?
I get all kind of strange DMs. People that want to buy my used underwear or buy pictures of my feet.
What is your motto in life?
To always look positively at things. And to live like it is the last day.
What’s next for you? Any exciting projects on the horizon you can share with us?
Yes I do a few exciting things but can’t share unfortunately at the moment.
Finally, where would you like to be in five years?
I want to move city, start a new chapter and have a big family with the person I love.
