A while back, I posted on one of my sites that I was having writers block and needed content to keep my blog going. I received quite a few emails and I decided to take my time and answer some of them on the AB Chronicles. I really appreciate those of you who took the time to email me. I’m only going to post a few today so please keep them coming!

1. What happened to the Richard Brian Penn show? I loved listening to you guys! You have a great radio voice! Will you be back up and running soon?

*Thank you! We all took a break from the RBP show simply because we all had other projects that we were pursuing. I love doing radio. I hope to be more involved in radio/podcast in the future. As far as when will be doing RBP again, I don’t have an answer for you. You can email RBP directly on http://www.richardbrianpenn.com/.


2. How did you get into modeling? My daughter is interested and I was curious how you started?

*I started modeling when I was 22. I was living in Los Angeles at the time. I was walking across PCH to Santa Monica Beach, when a guy approached me and gave me his card. After checking him out and getting over my fear, I did a shoot with him. At the time, I really didn’t feel that it was for me. I never pursued it. Then, years later, my friend Abbe, who is an amazing photographer, talked me into shooting again. At that point in my life, it appealed to the artistic side of me and just kept going with it. I will say this; if you are looking into this for your child, make sure you go through a reputable agency and make sure that there is always a chaperone. ALSO, modeling can be damaging to the psyche and your self-confidence. People will talk openly about your flaws so you have to be strong enough to handle rejection and believe in yourself. Personally, this is why I was never serious about modeling. If this is something she is really interested in, these are things you have to consider.


3. Would you ever date anyone off the internet? It seems like there are so many ways to meet people online and it’s not just dating sites anymore. I haven’t had much luck with the old fashioned way. I feel like the internet has become the social-norm for meeting people.

* I think it’s about personal choice. I don’t feel that I would ever date someone from a social networking site. For me, a lot has to happen in order for me to consider dating someone. I need the entire package. The vibe, the visual, the body language exchange and see the personality, first hand. Texts, emails, internet profiles are so impersonal. A lot gets lost in translation. I often misunderstand texts from people I care about and things get taken out of context so I couldn’t IMAGINE attempting internet dating. I would also like to add that most online profiles are full of shit! People talk themselves up to project an image of themselves that is more likeable. No one ever puts things like “I manipulate women to get what I want, I suck at making calls and I will have sex with you but please note, I will still be looking for something better.” No one is that honest. On a more positive note, I do know that it has worked out well for some people. I think you should always keep your guard up, never divulge too much information about yourself and NEVER meet someone alone!

Thanks again to everyone who emailed me. I hope I was helpful! Please keep them coming… (And appropriate!)
