<font color="#F1CBC7">Oh mighty one in heaven who created the mountains, the seas and... Ingrid Parewijck! Suspiciousminds' girl of the year, most definitely!<br>Originating from Ghent, Belgium, this sweet girl is making it even sweeter. She was introduced into the realms of the fashion scene by An "forever-in-our-hearts" Oost and Jonas "back-off-Sonny-and-let-me-make-my-money" Boel.<br><br>Ingrid has appeared on numerous covers like Vogue (Portugal), Elle and Photo. She's the new girl for Guerlain perfumes and she's starring the exclusive Lavazza 2004 calendar. Flying New York, Miami and Rio back and forth. Flash 'n Cash, 24/7. Ego trippin' out? Au contraire baby, she even had time to meet us!</font><br><br><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: Hey beautiful! Cognac?</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: Sure!</font><br><br><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: How are you? How's life?</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: I'm fine, thanks! And life is great! Absolutely!</font><br><br><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: Name one show or brand you'd like to model for?</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: Gosh..., there are so many things I haven't done yet. And, you have to make a difference between shows and shoots. You don't necessarily have to combine both, you see... I'm in for the shoots. Doing shows gives me the shivers. I did my first show just a couple of months ago, and god I was all stressed and bloody nervous. When I appeared on the stage, I kept repeating myself: "you go girl, and don't loose you're frickin' fuckin' balance, okay?" Anyway, to name a brand or show I'd like to model for: any nice brand, I suppose...</font><br><br><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: What's the most decadent show/shoot you've ever done?</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: Well, there was this shoot in Los Angeles. Our hotel was in Santa Monica, but the shoot itself was in Palm Springs, which was like a 2,5 hour drive from our hotel. When the job was done, none of us felt like driving all the way back. So they called in some heli's! It was amazing. We flew all over Los Angeles. They showed us every possible celebrity fortress in town. We even flew next to those bigger-than-life Hollywood signs!</font><br><br><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: An Oost, Delfine Bafort, Anouk Lepere... We have a lot of talented girls in our little country. Is there any jealousy involved between you?</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: By no means. They're great girls, and I respect them in whatever they do. We help each other, we hang out with each other, ... Competition is more like something for the younger girls, I guess. But I haven't had any bad experiences on that issue.</font><br><br><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: Rumours are you have a loft in New York? How's life in the big apple?</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: Who told you?</font><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: Kim Brusselmans. He's one of my connections I got set up.</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: Okay, here's the story. I'm sharing an apartment with someone, which makes it possible to rent such a place. And the deal is very cool, because I can leave the place to someone else whenever I feel like. It's a very cosy place, you should come over! Oh, and could you tell the folks who read your newsletter not to refer me with "the one with the loft in NY"?</font><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: Consider it done!<br><br><br>Lenzz: Modelling is quite hardcore. How do you relax?</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: I don't. I mean, I do, but it's very hard to find some time to relax. Most of the time I'm abroad; I only have a couple of days to spend in Belgium. And when I'm here I have to take care of so many things, seeing so many people, ... If there's one thing that helps me to relief my stress, it's a massage. God, I love massages (laughs). It's a warm welcome after every international flight. Especially overnight flights. My back is killing me on those flights.</font><br><br><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: Future plans/projects?</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: Hmm..., I'm more like this person who just sees what comes along. Maybe one day I start studying again... But now I'm really enjoying this life, and I'm hoping to continue modelling for a couple of years.</font><br><br><br><font color="#FFFFFF">Lenzz: Thanks for your time Ingrid. We love you.</font><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid: Love you too!</font><br><br><br><br><br><br><font color="#F1CBC7">Ingrid Parewijck is managed by Dominique (Belgium) and NEXT (international).<br><br>Photography: Lenzz for suspiciousminds.</font>
