Today, let's meet Melissa Collins, a fashion and glamour model originally from Shelbyville, Tennessee but now living in Nashville, Tennessee. She grew up spending much of her time in front of the camera and audiences at dance recitals, swim team meets, pageants, cheerleading, and performing dance. At age of fifteen she auditioned to be in Model Search America in Atlanta, Georgia. Despite going through three call backs. she was rejected due to her short height. After this revelation, she decided to get her degree. Melissa went to college for Mechanical Drafting in 1997.
After designing Stanley Tools, and then Stratos/Javelin Bass Boats for two years, she decided it was time to go out and pursue a career in modeling. She began to travel to various places doing photo shoots and trading time for print to build a portfolio. Melissa did a test shoot with Robert Holmes of Model Look Magazine, who placed her in many different hair style magazines, salon books, and beauty handbooks. Then after being spotted as the center calendar photo of Model Look Magazine 1998, a photographer asked her if she wanted to test for Playboy Magazine. At first she said no, but after six months of sporadic gigs, she changed her mind. She made a brief appearance in the magazine in May, 1999.
Since then, she has done of lot of regional modeling work for various publications and television commercials. She has also become an active event spokesperson, doing shows for various companies throughout the southeast United States.
