“I Should Have Stayed True to Myself” – An Interview with America’s Next Top Model 9’s Ambreal

RNO: How bummed are you about missing out on China?

Ambreal: I was a little said that I didn’t get to go, but I guess that just means I’ll go when I’m paid to go there!

RNO: Do you feel like you are walking away from the show with the experience and knowledge of the modeling industry that you wanted?

Ambreal: I learned so much on the show and met so many people. I was fortunate enough to experience all that I did and learn everything I did. It’s hard to walk away from this and take away something, but I really did learn so much more than I thought I knew.

RNO: What’s the plan from here? Are you still going to continue to try and pursue that dream?

Ambreal: Of course! I can’t stop – that would be stupid! I’m going to stay in Dallas for a little while and see what offers come up. I do eventually want to go to LA or NYC. I’d love to go to all the fashion capitals of the world and just work it out from there!

RNO: What other plans do you have in the works? Do you have a plan B lined up just in case?

Ambreal: I have experience in acting and musical theater, so that is always there for me. If I don’t make it modeling that would be truly heartbreaking for me, but I could definitely do theater as well. Hopefully, though, I’ll end up in the pages of Vogue!

RNO: I need to know what the deal was with the shower scene from last night. Was it really that big of an ordeal, and are you telling me you girls were only given one shower?

Ambreal: We did only have one shower, but there were three heads in there! Nobody heard Heather say that she had dibs on the shower, and as you saw, they had to put it in captions! Heather had an issue with lines to begin with, so it wasn’t just the shower. She hated waiting and was mad several times that she didn’t get her way, as far as waiting for the shower, phone, etc. We were all tired and I guess took her frustration out of context. I think she made it more than it should have been.

RNO: Is it me, or did Ms. J.’s afro get bigger as the weeks went by?

Ambreal: Ha! Well, it WAS a wig, since his hair is supposed to be straight. This year, instead of ruffles or bows this season, he’s adding an inch to the afro each time a girl goes home. I think it’s because I lost mine, so they wanted to bring it back!

RNO: Is there anything you would like to add or say to fans of the show?

Ambreal: I really just want to say thanks for all the support and keep it coming. You haven’t seen the last of Ambreal!

RNO: Thanks, Ambreal!
