Melanie is a first year cocktail server and works at the various Hard Rock bars. This is her first appearance as a calendar girl.
Melanie is interested in drag racing and often goes to the drag strip in Bradenton. “Going fast is fun to me, it’s an adrenaline rush,” she says.
She became interested in racing because Melanie’s father worked on cars while she was growing up and is quick to say, “drag racing, no circle tracks.”
You can also find Melanie modeling at car shows.
Q & A with Jennifer
Favorite Music?
“I like rap and house music. Drake is a favorite, I like all of his stuff.
“If a song has a good beat and lyrics, I’ll probably like it. As long as it has some meaning and isn’t about shoes or all the money you have.”
Special Interest?
“I have a pit bull (Zeus) and a python (Casper), add in my son and it’s like a zoo at my house.
“I grew up with animals, casts and dogs. I got Zeus when my son was one (year-old) so they grew up together. They’re buddies.
“My friend had a snake and my parent’s wouldn’t let me have one, so when I moved I got one. It’s part of my rebellious side.”
Experience of being a Hard Rock Calendar Girl?
“The competition was nerve wracking. A lot of girls tried out (~100) and they only need around 20.
“The camera doesn’t make me nervous. I’ve done modeling before, but nothing in print, so I was a little worried. The shoot was fun, I’m glad I did it.
“This is more than just about my job, it’s promoting Hard Rock. It’s exciting.”
