MI AMOR

There’s a lot to love about down-to-earth American beauty and interior design lover STEPH MI, and if you’re not already on board her fan base, the #ArMi, you soon will be…

- SANTI PINTADO

Wicked photo shoot, Steph. What did you love most about it?

I loved the spontaneity. Out of all days of the year, it just so happened to be the gloomiest day and freezing, too, but the team kept the spirits and the laughs high and we made it work. They also made me feel extra sexy and warm.

When do you feel sexy?

I’d love to write something cliché like, “I feel the sexiest with no make-up and in sweats”, but that’s not even remotely true. I feel the sexiest when my make-up is done, I have a golden tan and have the Internet cheering me on after I post a pic.

What is your best asset?

My best ASSet, according to social media, would have to be my butt. However, people who know me, behind the socials, would say my personality and sense of humour.

Tell us a little more about yourself.

I’m an inner-city kid who grew up in Pittsburgh, PA in the U.S.A. – I may be a city girl but my sisters and I were raised more on the outdoorsy country vibes. I grew up shooting at the range every weekend with my father, grandfather and sisters. Camping by the beach happened every summer or just visiting my grandparents at their camp and fishing. I played soccer and swam competitively and was very passionate about art, attending a creative and performing arts high school, before going off to college to study interior design.

How long have you been modelling?

I’ve been modelling since I was 14. I was discovered at a local fashion show by an agent and signed immediately with my agency shortly after. Seems like a lifetime!
