In this new interview series, we will be meeting the Venere girls to get to know them a bit better.
Third interviewee is Jade Bartolo. I first met Jade ( when she participated in the Toni and Supernova Competition. If I have to be completely honest, for some reason, initially I din’t pay her that much attention but others did and all of a sudden, although she wasn’t the winner, amazing fashion photos started cropping up on facebook.

How did you get into modelling?
One night after my A’levels I was walking through Paceville when this cheerful woman with big blonde curly hair asked me if I was Maltese and if I was interested in modelling.. I told her that I was and she introduced herself and told me to consider auditioning for a competition.. I had no clue that I was talking to Marisa Grima, the manager of Supernova Models!
Three years, two competitions and a few photo shoots and shows later .. Here I am .. One of the Venere Girls
What makes you angry?
Lies and deception.
What do you hate most about modelling and what do you like most?
There isn’t much in particular I dislike about modelling, as I think it’s a wonderful opportunity. Could I complain a bit if I tried? Probably. But I’m doing this because I want to do it and I enjoy it, and essentially having my hair and make-up done and taking amazing photos isn’t something that every girl gets the chance to do, so I love every moment of it.
Favourite venere shoot
The mermaid shoot by photographer: Keith Darmanin was my favourite Venere shoot so far. It was also my first! I was really excited and giddy about it, and having hair extensions was quite a fun difference

Least favourite venere shoot
The mermaid shoot was also my least favourite shoot! This is because I was very self-conscious about being topless and about making sure that my hair covered all the important bits, and I was very distracted. The above photo would have been my all time favourite if only I had concentrated a bit on my face that day and had a stronger look in my eyes.
What’s your biggest fashion sin
On cold days, I tend to choose comfort over style. I hate feeling cold and would much rather be cosied-up in an oversized jacket than freezing my butt off in a stylish little thing.
What do you eat for breakfast
Cereal with soya milk
Any future modelling plans
I will continue modelling with Supernova, and maybe possibly hopefully one day try my luck at modelling abroad
