Although she started playing with her hair at a very early age, doing herself and everybody around her...Hair Dressing is not really her passion but Modeling is.
Inspired by her gorgeous friend Jeffree Star( also from Los Angeles) she began expressing her wild sense of color bringing new meaning to modeling." I can think of a shoot idea for a week and have to jump on it and create what I have stored in my head, the outcome is always so much better than what I try to achieve. In reality I won't be the next Tyra Banks,but I think the world needs color,glamour,sick model's who can actually think of their own idea's and express it." says Raquel who confessed never being inspired by television or magazines.
Going out to gay clubs at a very young age, she believes she has a lot to offer to the gay scene: "I've always gone to all the gay clubs in la since I was 15, I'm not gay, I'm just open. The music and people are just so much better at gay clubs. So of course I went looking for the best gay clubs when I moved to New York. And what did I find,probably the most realistic friends I've ever had. I guess one of my many goals are to broaden the gay scene more. Males take over 80% and drag queens 10% and transsexuals 10%.. But where are the girl's? With too much style for straight minded culture to handle. It's always the fag hags who are trying to get in a gay boy's pants with her too tight jeans and belly roll hanging over accented by a diamond belly ring. Shoot me!! I hope to change this".
In a city where everything is fast, she feels comfortable in the place she now calls home: " I can't predict the future but I hope New York has a lot in store for me. This city has already shown me more in a few months than California showed me in years. I feel I have grown so much here, it kinda forces the immaturity out of you."
She is my kind of girl.
