Reality TV Games participated in a post-elimination phone call with America Next Top Model 14's Raina Hein. ************************************************** What is your height? What is your ethnicity? 5'10 1/2" (age?) I am twenty-two. (ethnicity?) German, French and Belgian. What is your hometown? Where do you live now? Right now, I live in downtown Minneapolis, but I grew up in Minnetonka which is about twenty minutes away from here. I go to Concordia University-St. Paul, which is about ten or fifteen minutes away and I am graduating tomorrow (Friday) night. (You have a lot going on these days.) Yeah, this is a crazy week but it's awesome! (What ia your major?) My major is communications and I specialized in broadcast journalism, so I hope to be a news anchor or a host or something along the lines of that in the future. How did it feel to see your father, because that is unprecedented in Top Model so you could not have guessed it? I was absolutely shocked, that was probably one of the biggest shockers of the whole show, it was amazing though. We walked in and Tyra was setting up lights and whatever and she told us that we were going to be doing a family portrait and that our parents were going to be there and all of the sudden our family was there and we got to hang out and do a family portrait. I had gone so long without being able to talk to my family and to have my dad there was the finishing touch to what I needed, it motivated me so much more. (How did he like New Zealand?) I loved the country and so did he, unfortunately neither of us had the time to go out and explore and experience the culture, but I am planning on going back some day because it is absolutely beautiful. (How did he react when he got the call from the show to come to New Zealand?) He got the call from The CW and they told him that he would be on a plane and the destination would be New Zealand... they told him about two or three days before his flight, so he was shocked and I had no idea. He went from Minneapolis to LA and then from LA to New Zealand, he was on a plane for an entire day just to see me for that five minutes and it was totally worth it. (So he was not at the runway show?) No he was not unfortunately, I wish, that would have been so fun. (Why didn't your mother make the trip to New Zealand?) My mother had hand surgery the morning of the flight and she was so, so upset that she could not come, but she had it scheduled for two months and she just could not not do it. So she had hand surgery and was planning on going anyways and the doctor's were like, "Absolutely not, you need to stay here and recover" and my mom was like "No, my daughter is on national television and I have to go," and the doctors were still like, "No you have to stay here and recover for your health." She was pretty bummed about it, but she got to watch my dad. What kind of modeling work did you do before Top Model? All of the print work that you see were just test shoots with photographers, they weren't jobs. I just contacted as many photographers as I could and said, "Hey do you want to shoot?" That is pretty much what I did for the majority of my work before the show, I did do a couple of local runway shows and a couple of local photo shoots, but not very many. (Were you signed?) Yes, I was signed to a local agency and I think they booked me for two jobs and I was with them for a little more than a year. (You left them because of the show?) Yes, I had to leave them because just in case I won I could not be with them and Wilhelmina at the same time. (What sparked your interest in modeling?) I was taking my senior pictures for my high school year book and I really felt natural in front of the camera and I had a great time and this little thought bubble popped in my head "Oh maybe I can model" and I wondered if I put everything I had into it, will I be successful. I sent my senior pictures to that local model agency and they said that they would love to work with me and that is where it all started, and every little test shoot and every little job and every little audition and every little go see kept feeding my passion and the more I did it, the more I wanted to do it. (Did you meet your boyfriend at a test shoot?) He didn't start doing photography until about a year ago and we have been together for about two and a half years. When we met he did not even know I modeled until about five months after we have been dating. I think it was me who sparked his interest in photography and it worked out great since we get to do teat shoots and have fun with that. How does a Top Model photo shoot differ from the test shoots that you have done? The test shoots were pretty much with the photographer and their [inaudible, lights? wife?]. With Top Model, there is a make up artist and a hair stylist and a clothing line - clothing stylist, there are so many people and lots of lights and usually a really, really nice camera and a very experienced professional photographer. There are so many more people and so much more effort that goes into a photo shoot on Top Model. The local shoots that I did were a couple of flashes with a camera for a photographer who is trying to make his portfolio bigger... and I super appreciate them for it. How did you feel about your makeover? Did it feel strange going from blond to brunette? Yes it was! I have been a natural blond all my life and it is so pretty and my whole family they were shocked when they saw me with dark brown hair, everybody from all my friends to my family said to me, "Raina, you look so much prettier with blond hair," but you know I love the dark hair, it is more modelesque and more striking and I think that it shows up a lot better in photographs and even on the runway, so I am going to keep it for quite a while. What was your favorite photo shoot? I would say the vampire shoot or the hair shoot, both were just really different and odd and out there and it was really exciting to do something that was not so cliche fashion, it is especially exciting to do something that you have never done before. I also really liked the rain and the wind shoot, it was really challenging because it was so, so cold but when I am really pushed to my limit and challenged that is when I do my best and I got best photo! (That wasn't real blood in the vampire shoot, right?) No, it was corn syrup and food dye, it was really sticky and sugary. Who were your closest friends in the house? Who have you kept in touch with? My friends were Brenda, Simone, Jessica and Gabrielle. I really got along with everybody, I know Angelea, Alasia, Krista and a little bit of Alexandra - I know that they did not like me at all, I guess I am too happy for them. I stay in touch with Brenda, Simone, Jessica and Gabrielle the most. Had you heard before that you may be just a little too happy for people? I have a positive attitude and the only thing that you can really control is your attitude and your reaction to things and if you have a positive attitude and outlook regardless of what happens, life just goes so much better. I think that when it was getting towards the end of the competition, the girls were getting tired and worn out and I kept up my energy and my positive attitude. I was just so excited that I was in New Zealand and working with these amazing people and I was just super bubbly and energetic all the time and I think that they just did not appreciate it.... I don't really know, some of the other girls appreciated it, so I guess I am grateful for that. (Where did "Oh Mylanta" come from?) I say “Oh Mylanta” in place of "oh my God" or "holy crap" or in place of a swear word, I just always said it when I was super excited or surprised, I say it all the time. I just have my own little language, I add on little words and syllables and stuff just for the heck of it. (Can you give an example?) If something was fun, I would say funski, I add ski on the end of words just to see what people's reactions are, spice things up a little, I don't know. How do you feel about how far you got in the competition, you said that you were surprised that you got as far? Oh my goodness, it was the best feeling ever! I gained so much confidence throughout the entire competition from the first photo shoot to probably the fourth photo shoot I gained so much confidence and I got so much positive feedback from the judges, it just kept building me up and helping me do better. And when I was in the final two, I was like "this is it" I am so close to making it to number one. I was really shocked and really surprised, but deep down inside I knew I could do it… once I hit New Zealand, I knew I could do it. Your body has been a topic of discussion, have you ever gotten feedback about your body? I played volleyball my entire life, I lifted weights everyday, I worked out for six hours every day, I heavy weight lifted and I have a lot more muscle than most girls and it shows in pictures. I don't necessarily think that it is a bad thing at all, it's just the way I am and if you are different you stand out, so I think in the long run that will be very good for me. Also I really have a boxy frame, I am just straight up and down, I don't have any curves. I remember Tyra making a comment, "you're very straight up and down and you have a boyish frame - a very athletic frame and that's OK, it's unique and people are going to notice that about you and you are going to book a lot of jobs because of that." So I eat really healthy and I stay toned and I stay fit and this is probably the thinnest I will ever be and I don't plan on doing any crazy diets or anything like that. Tyra told me that it is not a bad thing, I just need to know how to pose and how to dress, but that I am different from everybody else and that is why I will probably book jobs, just because I am different. What few words pop in your mind about... Jay Manuel - He is extremely knowledgeable about the fashion industry, he knows so many people and has so much advice to offer. He is exactly how you see him on TV. He has given me so much advice and I really appreciate it. He has given me really great tips and advice that has definitely helped me for the better. J Alexander - He is awesome and just fabulous and such an inspiration, he had a dream as a kid and he made it come true. I can't think of a better inspiration than him, he really loves what he does and he didn't stop just because he got there. Andre Leon Talley - Andre is funny, I like him, he has some made up words of his own. I really appreciated his critiques, especially with all of his knowledge and experience; he just knows so many people, so many designers, so many photographers. It was really great having him as a judge, I am really grateful to have him as an addition to panel. Nigel - Nigel is my favorite. He is extremely genuine and kind, very humble and a remarkable photographer, He gave me so much positive advice and great feedback that will stick with me forever. Tyra - Tyra! First of all I have to say that she is extremely intelligent and she surrounds herself with intelligent people. She has a great head on her shoulders. She is beautiful, absolutely stunning and she has a great personality. Who are your favorite designers? I really like Michael Kors, he is very simple and he compliments a woman's body very well. I know that this is cliche, but I love Alexander McQueen ever since I saw him when I was younger I was like, he is crazy awesome and I have to watch this guy he is amazing. He had such a creative mind and it is so rare to find minds like that… Just the fact that he would take a look and amplify it so greatly at first you see it and it's insane and you are like, “ why would that ever work?" and you look at it more and you just appreciate it more because it is just so out there, and that's it, fashion is just taking risk and being yourself and letting your personality show through whether you are a photographer, a designer or a model and he embodied that to the fullest. (Is there a particular collection or something else about his work that really resonated with you?) I really see that in his shoes and in the makeup that he chose [for his shows]. Who are your favorite models? Gemma Ward and Adriana Lima, they are totally different models, Gemma Ward's career has been absolutely amazing and she is so talented and Adriana Lima has a great personality and she is amazing in front of the camera and I have been told that I look a lot like her and it is good to hear stuff like that - I am going to try and watch her and learn from her a little more. What are your plans when it comes to modeling? I plan to move to New York or Los Angeles by the end of this summer and I will be pursuing modeling 100%. If I go to Los Angeles, I think I may dabble in acting, I think it would be a fun experience. I just booked my first international campaign in Dubai so at the end of the month I will be going there to do a photo shoot for them... it is for the store Symphony and it is having a grand opening at the largest mall in the world and they are featuring many famous designers including Vera Wang and they are doing a lookbook and a video and I am going to be their face for Autumn / Winter 2010... it's going to be featured in Harper's Bazaar Arabia so I am super excited. (How did you get the job?) They contacted The CW who then contacted me and I agreed immediately. If you could go around the world, where would you go? Oh that is such a good question, I want to go every where I really do, traveling is important to me, I want to travel a lot and see other cultures and meet other people. I would love to go to India, I am really excited about going to Dubai, I heard such great things about it. I have taken a lot of inter-cultural communications classes in college and it intrigues me a lot. I want to go to Asia and I want to visit Germany for sure, just everywhere! Are you on Facebook, Twitter or some other social network / blog? I have a website, RainaHein.com Facebook and Twitter, those are the three major things that I try to check most often.[/I] http://www.rainahein.com/ Is there anything that you would like to say to your fans? I have the best fans ever, they are so supportive and so kind and so sweet. Anytime I read the things that they say or look at any art work that they give me it brings such a smile to my face. I have such great support all over the world and I couldn't be more happy, they are totally awesome.
