You are a model and an actress, but which profession do you prefer?
It's hard to pick one over the other because to be a great model you have to act and be in character. That's what really sets you apart. I would say I prefer acting, though, because there are no set rules.

You are involved with several charitable causes and awareness programs, one of them being anti-bullying. Why is this subject so important to you?
It has always been important to me because of my experiences growing up. The key is to have confidence in who you are and be willing to stand up for what you believe in. Don't follow the crowd; celebrate our differences and what makes us unique. I feel this is a message that needs to be heard and finally the last few years people are no longer looking at bullying as a right of passage through school. Instead, they are realizing the serious side effects, and I'm glad attention is finally being payed to this cause!

What's the greatest reward from working with so many students in your philanthropic efforts?
The greatest reward of all is when I have an affirmation that I am making a difference in their lives. I have received letters from students or been contacted by teachers saying that a student has come forward about an incident because they finally felt comfortable to. Knowing that in some way I can make a positive difference, even if it
is in the life of one, is the reason I have pursued the career I have.-

What are some of the major objectives of the Model Alliance? Why do models need an alliance?
I'm so proud of Sara Ziff for making these huge strides in the modeling industry! One of the main objectives for the Model Alliance is to bring fair and ethical labor rights to working models. We want to make sure that every model is working in a safe and professional environment. The Alliance is something that has been needed for a very
long time because the industry has been so unregulated and unfortunately there are a lot of things that should not be happening in any sort of
work environment. You look through magazines and see advertisements on a daily basis but do you ever wonder what that model has experienced
to capture that one image? A great documentary that Sara did prior to launching the Model Alliance is called "Picture Me." It is available on Netflix and I encourage anyone interested in the fashion and modeling industry to watch it. Log on to www.modelalliance.org for more information.-

Tell us three things you can't live without.
Bio-Oil, a great book, and not to sound cliche, but my cell phone. I don't know how anyone can live without that nowadays.

Finally, for all of our single guy readers out there, what qualities do you look for in a man?
What's most important for me is a guy who can make me laugh! I want to have fun with him. Life is too short not to enjoy it and laugh everyday.
Brittany Mason is currently shooting with Victoria's Secret photographer Russell James, working on furthering her career in film and TV, and is in the early stages of a special project that she hopes to be able to tell us about soon.
