Yesterday pageants, today the world
PNB: It's been almost three years since you competed in the 1996 Miss USA Pageant. Update us on your life. Where are you living now? In what type of work are you involved? Who is representing you? Boatwright: I just moved a week ago to Nashville from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I've been living in Texas since the Miss USA Pageant and traveling all over the world as a model with the Elite Modeling Agency. I'm also represented by Page Parkes in Dallas and Miami Beach. |
 | PNB: What kind of upcoming projects are you hoping to be chosen for? Boatwright: I've been working for Shape magazine lately. Hopefully, I'll be flying back out to the West Coast to shoot a cover for them. I also have several options in Italy right now. PNB: In what cities have you worked during the last three years, and what have been some of your more memorable assignments? |
| Boatwright: Last year at Thanksgiving time, I flew to South Africa for a job. We visited the Planet Hollywood, and then a few months later, it was bombed, which was kind of scary. Probably the most memorable experience I've had in the last several years was a runway show in Rome at the French Embassy, which is the oldest castle in all of Italy. Michelangelo did all the paintings in it. It's unbelievable. When it was my turn and I walked out to the end of the runway, I looked at this woman and I stopped and stared at her. It was Princess Diana, and I couldn't believe it. It was like she just looked up at me and I was just standing there. I couldn't move. Then, she nodded at me, like OK, you can go now. (Laughter) But that was kind of cool. I won't forget that. |
| PNB: Have you worked with any supermodels? Boatwright: I've worked with a couple of them, mainly in runway shows. I haven't done any major print work like those girls have. I'm more of a "catalog queen." I did a couple of runway shows where I worked with those girls. I walked down the runway with Claudia Schiffer, which was kind of crazy. She's getting paid about $30,000, and I'm getting paid $3,000 for a show. I met Cindy Crawford at the gym in the Hotel Delano in Miami Beach. I remember walking in and thinking, "Oh my gosh, that girl is gorgeous." Then, I got a little closer and realized who it was. |  |
| PNB: What's the difference between fashion modeling and commercial modeling? What are the differences in the types of jobs? What are the differences in the girls? Boatwright: The fashion models are more exotic looking and extremely thin and at least 5'8" or 5'9". Most of the fashion models are either 5'10" or 5'11," especially for runway. They are often the waif-type model, although they are getting away from that now, but they are still really thin. Commercial models are more the all-American girl with a lot of personality. For commercial modeling, height doesn't matter as much, depending on the kind of commercial work you're trying to get, and the girls are usually healthier looking. I enjoy the commercial modeling much more because I feel like such a dork when I'm trying to do all this weird, funky modeling in a fashion shoot, because it's just not me. I enjoy doing commercials more than anything because I get the chance to actually talk and act. |
