Time to get more acquainted with MAXIM model, influencer and all-round American beauty ALYSSA GUTIERREZ…
Great MAXIM photo shoot, Alyssa. Tell us a bit about yourself.
From a young age, I’ve always had the desire for the fashion and beauty industry. While I was in cosmetology school, I started glamming models for events, runway shows and even New York Fashion Week. I thought, “Why not be the one getting glammed up?” From then, I took this inspiration and pursued my own modelling career. I moved to Vegas and started modelling full time. I’ve been on set of some amazing projects with celebrities, done lots of print work for the Las Vegas strip and continue to expand my portfolio!
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
From the outside I look girly, but I do have a tomboy side. I’m not afraid to get messy and dirty, especially when I travel. I’m always down for an excursion or an adrenaline rush!
You recently took part in a Destination MAXIM tour in Thailand. How was that?
My trip to Thailand with MAXIM was such a surreal experience! It was my first time to Asia and also traveling that far by myself, but It really opened my eyes to a new culture and makes me want to experience so much more. The MAXIM team was so great to work with and I met so many amazing and beautiful models. You may even see me on a future Destination MAXIM tour!
When do you feel sexy?
After a workout session. I love being active, practicing healthy living, and feeling confident in front of the camera.
What is your best asset?
As a Taurus we hold loved ones close to our hearts we’re very down to earth and easy going, but my best physical assets are my smile and olive skin.
What do you look for in a man?
He’s a man of his word, generous with his actions, time and attention and will support my dreams and goals. And, he has nice arms.
Describe your ideal date.
Getting all dressed up, going to a nice restaurant and ending with dessert.
What can we get you at the bar?
I’ll have a shot of chilled tequila – let’s skip the mixers and get straight to the point.
What have you learned about men over the years?
Age is just a number.
What’s one thing men should always remember about women?
If a man expects a woman to be an angel in his life, he must first create heaven for her.
Who is your girl crush?
Ariana Grande – she’s so stunning and has the most amazing vocals I’ve ever seen and heard live.
What is your motto in life?
Do it unapologetically.
What’s next for you? Any exciting projects on the horizon you can share with us?
Follow my socials and you’ll find out!
