Odeliza Jacoba head shot
Mahalo Chicos, When I was little, I was a natural in-front of the camera, every time my family would take a picture of me I’d be ready to poise. I always told myself that when I grew up I’d be a model. What I did not realize was back then that I had to be at least over five foot seven, me with my petite five foot two I had no chance. So my mother helped me enter some beauty pageants. Miss Filipino American and Miss Hawaii. Luckily I ranked second and first runner up, so it showed me I had something I could work with. I did some catalog work, some more pageants like Miss Hawaiian Tropic and allot of Hawaiian inspired calenders and some Hot Import Nights appearances and shoots.
Then as I entered my twenties I started to do pin up art which I really enjoyed. Than I started to work towards commercial acting and modeling. Now that I am entering a new phase of my life my thirties I am not too sure I want to do those things anymore.
I feel like I am at a cross road in my life. Honestly I am at a blank state, I am not sure what I want. I can’t believe entering my thirties and I am not sure what I want to do career wise with my life. Maybe it has to do with living in South America. Things are different here than Asian, North America, and the Pacific Islands.
My exotic looks are not in demand yet, just the blond and blue eyed are. And I really don’t want to go through that again. So I am just not inspired enough to want to make a mark or even dent in South America especially Uruguay.
With that in mind, please bare with me as discover my transition.
Ciao,
