Wonderhussy - Radiantly Entertaining Nude Model Turned Pro Youtuber: THE Wonderhussy!!

Wonderhussy is awesome and hilarious and very easy to talk to! She started modeling around 2008 and quickly learned to love modeling nude in the desert the most- she loved it SO much that she promoted nude day shoots in the desert with her as a chauffeur for a $500 day rate! 
Any time she had a crazy or weird experience, she used that as fuel to blog about on her website. Her transition from nude modeling to youtubing full time is very fascinating and inspiring. I love Wonderhussy's vibe and I feel like everyone needs a little wonderhussy in their life :) 
She no longer models, but you can totally soak her up on youtube!! (dude just watch her intro video, like dude, just do it ok?)  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRkyWI1tbWchz0uHfCMXK0w

Cheyanne - From down unda! Crazy groceries photographer, Running an agency, & more!

Cheyanne is an amazing art model from Australia who I had the pleasure of meeting while she was passing through Utah a few months ago. She is creative and inspired! So much that she started helping her friends book up their own shoots too, and that snowballed until she ended up creating a fine art nude modeling agency in Australia, and she's been running it for 5 years now!
Cheyanne LOVED telling her craziest stories on the podcast, the fucked up, the weird, and the good surprises too!

Michaela Hope is a multi-talented full time creative human. She was a photographer before she became a model - photographing babies, families, portraits etc. She gained confidence to model when she did a boudoir shoot a few years back. The joy of the experience drove her to seek more of that! One thing led to another and photographers kept wanting to shoot with her, so now she also models professionally across the country!

Liv Sage - Librarian turned nude model, Dark Corners of Humanity, Real Jobs vs Modeling, & more!

Liv Sage was a Librarian before she fell into nude modeling. Over the course of our conversation, we took a surprising amount of dark turns into the taboos of humanity, I think you will find it very fascinating! 
Liv has been thinking about moving into a more academically challenging line of work, and we talked about her dreams and her love for books. She has quite a bit of intelligence that seems to be overshadowed by her beauty, and it's starting to wear on her, driving her to find a more fulfilling life yet simultaneously still enjoying parts of her modeling career.
