Julianna Nepomuceno, 16, from Brazil

Modelling experience: Two years

What do you prefer wearing - knickers or thongs?

Thongs. It's the norm in Brazil and it's sexier.

How often do you wax?

Every 15 days.

If you could change one thing about your body, what would you change and why?

My hips, because they are a little fat.

What do you love or hate most about being a lingerie model?

I love it. If the lingerie is beautiful, it makes me look nice onstage.

What does your partner think about your job as a lingerie model?

He says: 'Julianna, don't go. I'll pay you double for that.'

What's your most embarrassing catwalk moment?

Nothing that I remember.
