Pony Ryder presents EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with RISING STAR in fashion industry, model KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE. Have you ever met a model or just a girl who is honest, gorgeous, unique, friendly, eloquent and neat? Well, if you haven't, meet her now!
Fashion model Kathleen Burbridge is Canadian, born in White Rock British Colombia. She gets her unique look from her family's background mix of Ukrainian, Austrian and Scottish blood. As Tyra would say that is a fierce combination.
Kathleen is with Mode Models (mother agency), One model management NY, Premier London, D'management Milan and Marilyn Paris. Shake it, but don't break it 'cause the boys won't take it! Let's go!
PONY RYDER: When and how did u start modeling?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: I started getting involved in modeling when I was at the begining of high school because my sister dabbled in it locally a bit, turns out she never grew past 5'5"! I never took modeling as a career until now.

PONY RYDER: You opened 2 shows in London fashion week!!! How does it feel to be the girl opening a show?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: I was so happy when I found out I was opening two shows! It makes me a bit nervous knowing I'm the one who's going to set the feel for the show, but it's exciting. I think it's cool that the avant garde embraces my look, its nice to be involved in something creative.

PONY RYDER: Is fashion world / modeling world really that competitive?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: Well it's not a rumor! It's definitively competitive and the industry can be very hard on a person. A client may only want one girl for something, but they are seeing 100.

PONY RYDER: What are your hobbies?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: I've always been really athletic and I got a kayak for my birthday so I was doing that at home in August. I like listening to music, going to movies (my dad is my movie partner), cooking, reading....
PONY RYDER: Favorite film?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: Garden state.
PONY RYDER: Sex and the city the movie or a show?

PONY RYDER: You live in model apartments when you are abroad. What is that like?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: It's good, I mean, sometimes it can be a bit too much when there's a lot of girls and a small space. But some can be nice. I like living with girls from around the world, you learn something.

PONY RYDER: You worked with Ph. Chadwick Tyler, a great talent - how was that experience for you?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: It was wonderful. He's a really good guy and easy to shoot with. It's more about free movement than posing and I like that. He has been a good source of guidance for me and we speak very often.

PONY RYDER: Is there an adrenalin rush when you are doing runway? What do you think before stepping onto it?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: Oh for sure there is, when you hear the music going and everyone is in their looks. I don't really think anything, I'm just into it.
PONY RYDER: Coffee or tea?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: coffee...for the caffeine, tea just as a drink.
PONY RYDER: Favorite book character?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: who, i don't know this one...probably the woman from the shopaholic series!

PONY RYDER: Do you have an interesting anegdote from a photoshoot, or a casting, a show?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: Probably when I was younger and I was being shot in a studio where the fan was blowing loud and the window was open and the photographer was telling me to do things and I kept saying, excuse me, excuse me, because I wouldn't hear. and then he was like WHERE ARE YOU FROM, because he thought I didn't understand English. I thought the shoot would go downhill from there but it was great!
PONY RYDER: Is there a different treatment of models and their careers in a smaller boutique agency, as opposed to big agencies and networks?
KATHLEEN BURBRIDGE: I think so, the relationship is more personal, and they care more about you as a person than just seeing you as someone on the board.

Meisel is an amazing photographer! hehe i think it's cute that she says her hair is her 'X Factor'
she is very fresh and youthful and I really love her! She's got a great look!
Ryder, I love your interviews! These should show people that models can be as intelligent and well spoken as anyone else! I hate when people think models are all dumb. Ugh. Anyway, Kathleen seems like a lovely girl and I was won over at the moment she spoke of kayaking! I love to kayak too! :)
And thanks for your comment on my blog, I loved reading your thoughts on the topic! :)
xoxo,

I love her! That blonde look of hers is so cool, it definitely is her x-factor! She looks totally amazing!!! (and I love Harry Potter too!!!)
PR, great job! With every post you keep improving your blog, that is already perfect as it is!
Love the new banner!
Hey it's Gabriela from Italy again.
I really like Kathleen.she is great looking,and blonde models were always my favorite.lovely face,and lovely eyes:)
My opinion is that she should be working with Supreme agency...
Great post Pony,as always of course :)
It was funny reading about Kathleens
anegdote from photoshoot...yea loud fans,and open windows can make some fuss :)
I like Kathleen because of her great looks, and good personality.nice girl in general.
Chris

I must admit that beside this girls beauty there is an obvious great personality behind.I wish her all well on her course of university studying, and perhaps she will make a difference in the world :)
and Pony i really like your new Q & A banner...such a beautiful girl ;)
"Model Shoes"

anyway:great job and i will add you on my blog to continue watching your work:)
thanks for this information. It was really inetersting to read, especially about X factor )))
amazing interview. great questions and love your pics from time to time to make us want to learn more about her.
cool interview.
Really a wonderful interview. Such a great interview to find.
Oh, she's so cute. Great interview, as usual.
thanks for postin such an awesome interview!
i love the interviews you keep posting ! i love that she got a kayak and uses it... for some reason i would not excpect a model to be so adventurous! by the way- you asked me if i would ever shop at primark... i am not familiar with it... what is it?
survive a week with 30 dollars? thatstalent
her face is SO particular!
interesting.
nice interview : )
i love her look for sure!
great interview...I can't decide if i like her look or not. I saw her walk in London and she's (tyra) fierce and the her white blond hair is stunning...ok, so then I d like her.
She looks perfect !!
she sounds like a great girl with a good head on her shoulders
she is a tad too thin, though, if I may speak from my non experience
but hey, sher likes Garden State...!!
Oh no she is so skinny! I hope it's because she is still rather young. But she does have an interesting and fine look otherwise.
Kathleen really seems a nice girl. Models always seem to have fierce ethnic background combinations ^^
I don't like her on the runway that much though. I like her better in photoshoots. But that's probably because runway models give me the creeps.
Favourtie book - Harry Potter? Oooh I definitely like that girl. So cute that she goes to the movies with her dad. My dad is mostly not interested in the movies I am interested in.
The woman from the shopaholic series ^^ she's funny.
Yeah, I guess her x factor is the blonde hair. It's really rare nowadays.
So cute that she's thanking you for your compliments!
LOL dark and weird is the best way to describe Tim Burton films ^^
She has a very unique look. I am quite envious of her hair.
P.S. Yes, all the pictures are mine. I'm rather addicted to photo taking...
ooh fantastic interview! she sounds very cool
Oh wow she's stunning.
Oh wow lovely interview. She looks stunning, and opening for two shows must have been amazing!!!
Thanks for introducing her, she seems nice and down to earth.
lovely interview, love her look!!!
ps: thanks for stopping by :)
xoxo
loving her cool look...taht eye brow no eye brow look is really great on her...hope to hear frm you again!
that was very interesting! great personality. her sister grew to only be 5'5 and she wanted to model.. that sucks!
thanks for the interview,i enjoyed it :)
She's so cute! I love her and I love that most models have the most simple skin care route. Too bad my over drinking of water still doesn't keep my face as flawless as theirs :'(
She def looks Ukrainian/Scottish, a very interesting mix.
I wish her lots and lots of success! Kathleen seems like a darling.
Very cool interview. Love the questions you asked.
what a great interview! congratulations. the girl looks fabulous, she has a special face, so different for other models;)
(e): it's not pony, it's caucasian butterfly!
