SHASTA - Hot Model from Rwanda "Shasta comes from Rwanda in Central Africa a relatively
small landlocked country. She has strong family ties and is proud of her origins. It was only
by chance that I discovered her sedcard and immediately found her fascinating. Photographing
dark-skinned models in the Alps inevitably produces contrast-rich results so we end up
spending many hours in the mountains during a shoot. Surprisingly Shasta has exceptionally
good hiking equipment and that motivates her to hike to the top of mountains whose peaks may
still be hidden in the clouds. Unfortunately the temperatures can be extremely fresh up high
but Shasta is brave and always ready to pose even when the temperature is sometimes under 10
°C! In addition to modelling Shasta designs and handmakes clothing in the fabrics
patterns and colours typical of her home country ingeniously combining traditional African
aesthetics with more modern sensual styles. She doesn't need a model to show off her outfits
as she does it all herself with selfies of which she is the leading proponent! Of course her
experience behind the camera can be quite helpful when we're posing in complicated demanding
settings." - Stefan Soell She also shows her African roots in her culinary skills which
are of a professional standard. Shasta can cook a range of African dishes over the open fire in
the traditional way. You can also book her on a private basis she supplies all the ingredients
and comes to your house to cook and serve the meal. This service also features hand-sewn
tablecloths table mats and serviettes of her own creation! Of course she also wears her own
traditional African clothes on these occasions. Now what could make more sense than
managing a small holding in order to produce the ingredients required for her cookery? For
several years now she has been cultivating a large field in her hometown growing herbs and
organic vegetables with the help of some other gardeners. The climate in Rwanda can make this
very hard work as often it is either too wet or too dry. Ripe ready-to-eat vegetables
mysteriously tend to disappear from the gardens very quickly and mostly at night which means
they must be of excellent quality and definitely taste better than the ones you can get at the
supermarket!
