Brains, beauty, a body, and salsa!

Direct from Armadillo World Headquarters

She will get you the look you need, and want,

and even a look you weren't even aware you were looking for!

Say hello to Thea Reyes. A student and freelance model from Austin, TX.

DrD: I've always loved Austin. I lived there years ago. I recall the Hill Country, and the music. Hell, now that I know someone there I may even move back.

Thea: "I live in Austin, where I go to school and work as a part time model. I've been all over the country but I find myself always coming back, I don't think I'll ever truly leave this city. Its too weird not to ^_~"

DrD: U.T.?

Thea: "I am going to ACC or Austin community College, and I'm either going to get 3 different associates degrees or transfer over to UT."

DrD: I see you are very nubile: 32B-25-34, 5'2", 110lb. As a mater of fact, I don't know if I've ever seen such nubility. (Doesn't matter if it isn't a word.)

DrD: So, what do you eat to stay in that kind of shape?

Thea: "I love sushi, cant get enough of it. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. My favorite fish is Toro or fatty tuna."

DrD: When I was in Austin, there was a place called Taco Flats out North of town. Ten Tacos or a picture of Lone Star for a dollar. (Over 23 million returned.)

Thea: "I watch what I eat, I already know what's bad for me so I eat what I like in moderation. For someone like me my eating habits might be more drastic than say another person. I do eat less than most people but not to a sickening point but I don't stuff myself either."

DrD: I recall putting away several bucks worth of Tacos. Felt pretty good until the next day.

Thea: "I've tried, it hurts. The human body is a machine that can get nutrients out of anything you put into it, so something small with a lot of calories, like a power-bar, it can last you a long while before your body really needs something to eat, same goes with something big, like a steak. If you still feel hungry try drinking something, a lot of times I'll confuse a trusty feeling with a hunger feeling and just drinking some water or juice would calm it down because that's what your body really needed."

DrD: Oh, I washed them down with Lone Star.

Thea: "I wouldn't suggest that, or soda because it would only dehydrate you more than you already might be."

DrD: You don't look dehydrated, so you must know what you're talking about. Do you work out?

Thea: "Yes I do, I try to go to the gym when I can, my goal is to get into a routine that allows me to go 3 times a week at least. I also go water skiing with some friends on Lake Austin or at the Perdinales or what I like to call it the Perdi. I've only skied for less than 2 months now and I've taken up wakeboarding, tried bare-footing, and slalom ski."

DrD: Save me some swimsuit photos for next time we do this. So, that would make you an outdoors type?

Thea: "I think both, I enjoy being inside and I can always find something to do on the computer or paint, and then I'm an outside person because I tend to spend my weekends or days off at the lake getting my butt kicked by the water."

DrD: And a lovely butt it is. How long have you been modeling?

Thea: "I was 17 when I did my first shoot with a fashion/art photographer. I got into it because I was asked if I ever did modeling by a bryan-alan photographer (he took my high school photos) and it just rang a bell somewhere. A girlfriend of mine was also starting to get into it and we joined a place called http://www.onemodelplace.com/ and that's where I received my TFP (time for print) shoot and shortly after paying gigs."

DrD: You look very much at home in your skin. What kinds of modeling do you want to do?

Thea: "I don't know what I want to do but I do everything from fashion to nude and I think I enjoy the nude more than anything. The human body to me is very beautiful and I like the way my body looks on film."

DrD: I particularly like the way yours looks on film.

DrD: And when you're not working?

Thea: "I tend to do a lot of art work, traditional and digital. It calms me and takes a lot of stress out of daily life, plus I can do whatever I want on a blank canvas."

DrD: I believe I saw something like that by Bruegel.. I'm not sure if it was the elder, or younger. I do remember being glad there wasn't one in my closet. What's your pet peeve?

Thea: "I hate being left in the dark, guys I'm sure you get this a lot, its when someone comes up to you and starts to hint at a subject they want to talk about and then just suddenly go no cant talk about it. I notice girls do this a lot and it bugs me to no end. You don't go to someone bring up their interest and then completely shut them out. That's almost painful! Then you have to dig it out and work on em to get them to talk and it just takes too damn long to the point of well f@$k you too. "

DrD: I'm available at your earliest convenience. Oh. Sorry, I thought.... Well never mind. If you could solve one problem in the world, what would it be?

Thea: "The annihilation of the human race. That would be the best thing to ever happen for this planet, I'm not saying I hate myself or my own race, its just that you look at what the world used to be and what it is now. Due to humans we have really taken a gift and smashed it to pieces and its getting worse every year.

Due to pollution in the ocean we have lost so much of our coral reefs that only 13% of it still exists, which means many animals have gone extinct ones we know about and other we never even knew existed. We chop down rain forest's to make way for farm land and our cattle.

Both examples are our primary sources of oxygen, if we deplete them, how are we going to breath down the line? I do not know this for a fact but if you go back 10,000 years or so I bet there was a higher percentage of oxygen in the air meaning you wouldn't need to take as many breaths as we do now, you could hold your breath longer underwater because each breath contained a high percent of oxygen. So removing the human race would be an awesome solution to making the planet a better place. I just don't see that happening any time soon."

DrD: You certainly leave me wishing for more oxygen. I bet you have that effect on most guys. What do you find attractive about a man?

Thea: "I like a nice personality, a great smile, one who can make me laugh or giggle. I do like the athletic look of a man but I normally cant stand their personalities that go with it. They tend to be sweet at first then they start to get cocky or just difficult to deal with. I also like the average guy, if their look is in proportion and symmetrical I'll most likely give them a chance and try to get to know them."

DrD: So, a tight butt, hold the testosterone? One more peek, then tell us where ambitious artists can get hold of you.

Thea: "How about my web site: http://www.thymindseye.com/model/

DrD: Thanks Thea. By the way, I'm saving the other shot for my wallet. (Even if they won't believe it.) The rest of you will have to work if you want to see more of her.
