I was very skinny, braces; so I never thought I would be a model.

Some people explore who they think they might be. Then some people explore who they already are and empower it.

Victoria's Secret is like a big family.

At school I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mum, 'The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV.'

I was always interested in fashion and beauty. I was fifteen when I was scouted in a flea market. Two years later, I arrived in New York. I was in awe because it was like another planet.

When I think of a bombshell, I immediately think of Bridget Bardot. She's a woman who is so secure and just oozes sexy. Whether you are super feminine or more into that boyish style, you just own your look.

Whenever you feel down, you can check on Twitter and feel better about yourself, because it's only people who like you.
