Everywhere that Rob Dyrdek goes everyone seems to be watching. With the success of his hit show Rob & Big on MTV, it was no surprise when his new show Fantasy Factory became an instant hit. One of the first things that fans noticed about the show was the small blonde girl with a huge personality that was always rapping to celebrities that would walk through the factory doors. Throughout the first season and onto the second fans became familiar with Chanel and now she is one of the stars of the show.
I talked to Chanel this week about a tragedy that was a wake up call in her life, her upcoming mixtape, and even her wanting to be a UFC Octagon Girl. Upon reading this interview prepare to come to the conclusion that this rapping receptionist is more than just a cute face.
Kalin Johnston: You spoke on yourself pursuing modeling and you were actually just in Maxim Magazine, which is a magazine that some models work for years trying to get into. What did that opportunity mean to you?
CC: Oh my gosh it meant a lot to me. That was probably the coolest photo shoot I’ve ever done in my life and the most significant. It was really cool because there has been a lot of girl on Maxim Magazine that I look up to. I feel like it’s really cool. It was a great opportunity and I’m very, very happy about it. I can’t really describe how cool it was, but it was probably one of the coolest moments of my life so far (laughs).
KJ: Big Black has told me before that his reality show didn’t make him a whole lot of money, but that it gave him the exposure needed to go out there and make money off of his name. How are you doing this yourself?
CC: I plan on using it to get my music career going. Being on the show has been great in helping me network with people from the music industry. I think in the long run I’m going to end up having a real music career and maybe get my own spin-off show in the future which is another thing that I would like to do. Being on this show, building a fan base, and getting my face out there is really helping me to be able to launch other things in the future. I also want to start a clothing line. I know that being on Fantasy Factory is going to lead to a lot of money, but I have to work hard and it’s going to take time.
KJ: You mentioned before this interview that you are interested in being a guest UFC Octagon Girl. I know that Rob and Dana are boys so I say you talk to Dana and make this happen.
CC: I know! I told them that already. Actually when Dana was at the factory one day I saw on Twitter that he was there. I text Rob and was like Hey! Tell him I want to be a guest Octagon Girl! Rob said that it was actually a really good idea. I’m sure they’ve mentioned it to Dana, and who knows, maybe I’ll be able to do it in the near future.
