Suelyn Medeiros is an exotic beauty from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. She is 100% brazilian and proud of it. She was raised most of her life in Brazil but, moved to the U.S. to follow her dreams of becoming a doctor. At that point Suelyn had no interest in modeling and couldn’t see it as a true career. Her mind was changed after a friend asked her to participate in a fashion show for fashion week in New York City. She was scouted by a modeling agency and signed with them soon after. Once she signed with the agency she became so busy that she started looking at modeling as a serious career path. The modeling and fashion world intrigued Suelyn and she gained recognition very quickly. In less than five years she has achieved more than most do in their whole career. Her star power keeps rising both domestically and internationally as she travels the world shooting magazines, catalogs, commercials, music videos and movies. Don’t be fooled by her good looks, killer body and beautiful smile, she is here to take over the world.

1.What’s your Ethnicity?

I am 100% Brazilian.

2.What’s your zodiac sign?

Take a guess…they say I’m stubborn, possessive, self-indulging and materialistic, but I’m also dependable, persistent, loyal, patient and generous—I’m a Taurus.

3.Where are you from originally?

The best, most beautiful, fun, exciting, tropical and versatile city in the world: Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

4.What did you like most about growing up in the Brazil?

The warmth of the people I grew up around. Everyone is so real and passionate about life. I have a very big family; my grandparents had 13 children and my other grandparents had 3 with 14 aunts and uncles. I have 42 first cousins. My family alone can fill up a small city. [laughs] Growing up around all of them, seeing how everyone sticks together sharing moments of good and bad times, made me who I am today.

5.What kind of mischief did you get into growing up?

I was a WILD child…the question really is…what kind of trouble did I NOT get into! [laugh]

6.What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

Hmm. I can’t share that one, but I will share a pretty crazy childhood story with you. One summer in Rio I was at my aunt’s house for the weekend and in one weekend I managed to cause a disaster. As a child, I always thought of the craziest ways do have fun. “Danger” was not a warning for me. My uncle had bought a brand new outdoor pool. Jumping inside the pool from the pool stair case was not exciting enough for me so I stacked up some bricks and junk to make the ultimate high-jumping-in-the-pool experience. My cousins loved the idea and we took turns as I kept making it higher and higher. I made it so high no one had the courage to jump—so I jumped. I jumped and the impact was so intense I slid through the bottom of the pool and pierced right through it, breaking the pool. Gallons and gallons of water spread everywhere. The brand new pool was ruined and we were grounded for the rest of the weekend. The next day was a hot summer day. We were grounded and not allowed to go play outside. My cousins and I decided to play in the garage and experiment with some flammable liquids we were told to never touch (my idea, of course). One of the ideas went wrong and my uncles car caught on fire. I was sent home that same day and was never allowed to stay over again.

7.What’s your favorite hobby and why?

Poker! Texas Hold’em—I love playing it…analyzin people…bluffing…making the right moves and winning, of course (I’ve been told I have quite the POKER face).

8.What’s your guilty pleasure?

Coca-Cola. I know how bad it is for my body, but I truly enjoy an ice-cold Coca-Cola anytime, anywhere.

9.Who do you admire?

Myself in the mirror every day…[laugh]. Just kidding. I admire my parents. They have been married for 27 years and their love is so beautiful. It’s amazing how they stick together through the good and bad times, no matter what.

10.What’s one of your personal goals?

My personal goal is to be the best I can be for the ones I love.

11.What do guys compliment you on the most?

My sense of style and my personality.

12.What’s your favorite body part on yourself?

That would be the one that brings me the most pleasure. [smile]

13.What’s your least favorite body part on yourself?

My butt; it steals all the attention from my other body parts. [laugh]

14.What do you look for in a guy?

What don’t I look for in a guy!

15.What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?

His energy. I’m drawn to people that have a good aura and give off good energy.

16.What’s your ideal first date?

Creativity; something out of the ordinary.

17.What turns you on?

My man.

18.What turns you off?

Smokers, bad breath and arrogance.

Letting things bother you is a mental choice. I don’t let anything bother me enough to make it a pet peeve.

Brad Pitt.
