Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls… Before we continue I’m going to start by breaking your heart. Elke has a boyfriend and she wants to get married to him. But before we paint a fairy tale ending to the story we have to go backwards to the beginning, Quentin Tarantino style and take you to another location as well.

Germany, that’s were “Hollywood” started her dream. She would practice being Tina Turner in the mirror at the age of 5 and as she grew up she never let it go. She first went to the coast of Rica (Costa Rica) and eventually landed in the land of opportunity with nothing but a briefcase a toothbrush and her dream. Just like any self made hustler she started at the bottom of the food chain as a waitress in a health food restaurant, which is a good filter to separate the strong from the weak and the poor from the rich. It’s an experience that shows you what you’re made off. Fortunately for all of us Elke was built like a stallion, strong and rich.
 

 She eventually found the right people to surround herself with the people who believe in her and her dream and it pretty much became history from that point on. Elke’s website moves about 9,000 unique visitors per day that’s 4,000 more than HH1 (we do multiply times 1.5 every 4-5 months but it’s not about that! lol). Her Yahoo group is banging heat like a Miami sun and she has a collective 100,000 plus friends on MySpace and today she is on MXy and her interview reads like a movie and I call it Elke “Hollywood” Stallion and it is going to mend your heart back together

INTRODUCE
My name is Elke, pronounced L-Key and I was born and raised in Germany. I live currently in Los Angeles, and work in the Urban Industry as model. My website (www.ElkeTheStallion.com) has close to 9.000 unique visitor per day from all around the world. I am currently working on my first calendar for 2009, my DVD and my Jeans Line. I also will get back in the studio and focus on my singing career. I am unstoppable.

SEXY
To me sexy has to do with confidence. Sexy comes in many different shapes and forms, colors and races. If you love yourself and feel confident about yourself, the sexiness comes through naturally. I always loved myself, I always thought that I will be a big hit one day. At the age of 5 I danced around the house in my mom’s heels pretending to be Tina Turner. I take care myself, I get my nails done every week, get massages, try to work out as much as I can and I eat ORGANIC food, very important to me. It doesn’t matter if you work out and think you eat healthy, if it’s not organic it’s not healthy because of all the extra stuff added to the food these days. And I read a lot, learn a lot every day, because a smart person is also very very sexy.

NUMBER 1
Lol, I guess that question will have some people say “she is arrogant”, lol, well what makes me number 1 is the fact that I came to the States with nothing but one suitcase. No money, nobody I knew, nowhere to stay. I came to the States by myself from Germany, well, from Germany to Costa Rica and from Costa Rica to the States. I started from scratch working as a waitress at a health food restaurant. Now I have my own company, my website and have the internet going nuts. I am unstoppable, I am a hard worker and very focused. Also, my unique and exotic look makes people want to get to know me more. They can’t figure out what race I am and that makes me appealing to almost anybody from black to white, from Latinos to British people. I mean, my website stats don’t lie, and my two MySpace pages with both over 50.000 friends don’t lie, my 5000 members on my yahoo group, doesn’t lie. So I am number one because I say so!!!!! lol

MOTIVATION
I love the haters, they give me most motivation, people who think you don’t have it, you can’t make it, they just make you work even harder, because in my opinion and also from books I read, you are in charge over everything that happens in life. There is destiny, but in my eyes it all starts with a feeling. Your feeling lead to thoughts, your thought lead to actions and your actions lead to results. So therefore I feel like motivation when people hate on me, because it leads me thinking I got to work harder, and me thinking I got to work harder makes me work harder and the results are success.

HATE
Well, hate is a strong word, I can’t hate on anything I don’t want or desire, so I don’t hate on people, because I pretty much have everything I want. But I do dislike when people don’t want to help you or give you a shot because they have other hidden agendas you don’t want to be a part of. There are not many genuine people out there, who just want to help. Just want to give you a shot, and it wouldn’t even cost them anything. But so many people are on a power trip that out of that simple reason they don’t help you. The funny thing is, and I read that in a book as well, if you help other people, help will come back to you, not necessary from the person you helped, but in other forms. And let’s be honest, if you look at yourself, if somebody helps you, don’t most of us feel the need to help that person back? So in my eyes, if I help somebody, 90% of these people will have my back. And this industry is so connection-driven that we should just help each other to get on top, cause there is enough $$$ for all of us. That’s why I want my own modeling agency.

Fear
My biggest fear is not to succeed. Failure is not an option for me. I don’t beat myself up with stuff doesn’t happen my way, but I will die trying before giving up.

CULTURE
Well, Hip Hop sure is a culture, I can’t really speak for the music itself, but it sure opened up the door for Black people, Latin people and more curvy models like me. Modeling is kinda a funny culture if you want to name it like that. There is different kinds of modeling, mine is not the high fashion you see on a runway, which I would love to do one day when they accept women like me, but till then I pose for my website, host events, do music videos and just fill the gabs of jobs where they want girls like me, it’s my niche and I ride the train as long as I can
 

CHANGE
that’s a though question to answer, there is many things I would like to change, but I guess the one thing that I would like to change is racism. The hate and the judgment.. I mean, I experienced it first hand, didn’t get jobs because I wasn’t black enough, not white enough, not small enough, not big enough. I mean, why not just give somebody who works so hard a chance, a shot, and not judge them or turn them down because of your own demons.

GROWING PAINS
I never struggled staying true to myself and doing what Elke wants to do. I don’t let anybody change me, I find the right people who want to be down with me and work from there. So over the years it was tough to find the right people. It was tough to cut through the bullshit. Lots of phony people telling you they are doing big thangs, when they really only want to get in your pants, but my people knowledge and my good intuition always made me decide for what’s best for me.

FORE FATHER
I idolize Marilyn Monroe, beautiful, curvy and just my role model. As far as the hip hop and urban industry I would say I def. have to give props to Melyssa Ford and Buffie the Body because those two women paved the way for all of us. As far as brains, mhhhh, well, Donald Trump is not happy being a Millionaire, he didn’t stop till he was a Billionaire, so that’s the kind of attitude I have.

LIFE
I enjoy every day I am able to be here, because the world is not getting any better, not being negative, but it’s the truth. I like to be at home, read, watch TV, play with my dog and be with my boyfriend. I am a simple girl, like simple things and just enjoy day by day.

Spirituality
I am a strong believer in God, I pray every day and try to go to church every Sunday. I actually lived my whole teenage life in a church, my dad was the care taker of a church so our little apartment we lived in was on the second floor of the church. God is my security blanket, he keeps me going, he got my back and he always helped me when I wanted to just give up.

LOVE STORY
Love is the feeling you have when you find that person that you feel complete with. Not that you are not complete as a single, but that person that is your lover, your best friend, your rock, that is Love to me. And I am almost 100% positive that I found it.INDUSTRY
The Industry is funny. lol, sometimes I love and and sometimes I just wanna go take a big ol’ nap. The industry claims to be open minded about curvier women, but their definition of a curvier woman is a size 4 model instead of a size 0 or 2. Well, I admit a size 4 can be curvy and sexy of course, but I am a size 10 or 12 in some cases, so where does that leave me???? lol, but what I love about the industry is the fact, that there is a niche for me and my sexy pictures and that there is 1000s of people out there who love what I do an appreciate my work.

PROMOTE
Of course my website, (+www.ElkeTheStallion.com) also check my MySpace page (+www.myspace.com/personalelkethestallion) and (+www.myspace.com/elkethestallion) and I am looking for sponsor to be part of the making of my 2009 calendar.

FUTURE
I won’t stop till I am a millionaire or above. Lol, I see myself having my own clothing line, my own modeling agency and 2 children happily married to my man.

Imagine that moving against the odds and turning yourself into a business then duplicating yourself into a franchise by opening an agency. Getting married with two kids. If that’s not a good heart warming end to this story then you don’t have one. It’s Elke I call her Elke “Hollywood” Stallion and the movie is done..see you next week! Oh wait.. Credits!

I want to say thank you for featuring me and also give a shout out to the few people on my team, to my web designers Arthur Rogers from (+Artshoblaze.com) and Doug Gilbert , photographers Richie Thomassen, Eric Scot, California Slim and Adrian Fernandez. And I can’t forget my PR Darrell White and EP Designs.
