COUNTRY GIRL - LAUREN BENTLEY

MV QUEST

Where are you from, and how would you describe your life growing up?

I am from Batesville, Arkansas. My life growing up wasn't the easiest but wasn't the hardest either! I grew up in a divorced family and was a redhead at that. So people would make fun of me and play dirty jokes on me. I struggled with depression and anxiety most of my childhood but the other I got the more confident I became. That is where modeling comes into play. I'll explain how later but as a kid I was a sports fanatic and very active. Sports were my distraction from the world. I am lucky to have had that. So you see it wasnt good but wasn't bad either.

How did you find your way in front of a camera, modeling?

I found my way in front of the camera modeling when covid hit and I opened my own boutique. I started off modeling my own brands that I carried and have developed into modeling for brands like Swamp24, Fashion Sinners, Breezy Swim, and others.

What do you like best about being a model?

I like the boost of confidence it has given me. Like I said before I was made fun of as a child for being a natural redhead and getting in front of the camera has helped me to overcome that trauma I endured. I can express my natural beauty.

Besides modeling, what is the most important thing in your life? Do you have any unusual talents?

 My kids are the most important things in my life. Without them I wouldn't be the person I am today. They are my biggest fans and love cheering their momma on!

We all need support in life. Where do you get your support? What or who inspires you?
