2013 Beach Bunny Model Search Winner Melissa B.
What made you want to apply for the beach bunny swim wear model search
I wanted to apply to the Beach Bunny Model Search Contest because it’s a fabulous brand, I literally want to wear every last beach bunny item! Also because it would be an honor to follow in the footsteps of legends such as Candace Swanepoel, Irina Shayk, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, and Kate Upton.
Favorite swim wear models of all time
It doesn’t get better then Christie Brinkley, Cindy Crawford, and Heidi Klum. They were beautiful back then and even more beautiful now and they are an inspiration to women.
How did winning the contest change your modeling career
Winning the contest has really helped me get my name out there to be a more recognizable model due to being associated with such a well-established bikini brand. It has also lead me to being selected to be the face of Love Haus Lingerie (Beach Bunny’s sister brand)
What does being a Beach Bunny mean to you
Beach Bunny will forever have impacted my career, it really helped me to get my jump start in modeling which will always be sentimental to me. Getting to know the Beach Bunny family also means a lot to me. I have a lot of respect and admiration to the founder/owner, Angela Chittenden whom is a true role model. She is a very intelligent woman who created this company from the ground up, not to mention she is beautiful!
Beach Bunny has jump started models like KATE UPTON XENIA DELI IRINA SHAYK + MORE how does it feels to be apart of swim wear historyIt feels amazing to have your name associated with super models! Girls I really look up to. I feel very blessed to be a part of the whole experience.

What are your hobbies
I love swimming (of course!), hiking, taking my dogs to the beach, biking, and anything fun/ different.
Favorite BeachBunny swim suit for summer
I am in love with Beach Bunny’s new spring break collection. Some of my favorite suits in it are the fishnet and color block bikinis. One word ‘sexy!’
How was walking in last year Beach Bunny show , were you nervous excited and had you done fashion shows before
I was definitely the perfect mix of both nervous and excited! It was a real adrenaline rush walking out first into a crowd with bright lights! It was my first time walking in a fashion show and it was a real rush! I ended up loving every moment of it.
You got to shoot with Yu Tsai last year in belize how was that experience
Words of advice for the new beach bunny contestants
Be confident and be YOU. Nothing screams Beach Bunny more then those two qualities.
