Before appearing on Basketball Wives, 26-year old model and actress Draya Michele had previously been linked to several NBA players and even Chris Brown, giving her a name in the industry before she could set both feet in the door. She has no shame in her past or her extensive list of ballers but does own up to her past. She recently interviewed with Vibe Vixen to share a little more about her own personal style, past, and her opinion on the show herself.

On How She's Portrayed on the Show:

Hopefully, after editing and everything, it changes some people’s opinions of me. I know what to expect, so I won’t be shocked if a lot more people hate me than they already do. People don’t always have the nicest things to say about me, so I’m used to it already.

I want people to see what I do and how I live me life, just so they have a better understand of what it is that I do. A lot of people are confused about how I live my life and why I live my life a certain way and I’m able to travel so much. I want to put a light on what [my life] really is. It is not always a party. I  don’t look at a party as a party; I look at a party as a job, so [the show] will let people know what is really going on inside of my world.

How She's Connected to the Basketball World:

Basically, now I’m friends with a bunch of wives and I dated a basketball player before. I mean, it was nothing currently or anything like that. It was a couple years ago. No big deal.

What She Does:

I do everything. Anything and everything I can get my hands on out here in LA, I’m into it. I’m doing my acting, my modeling and starting a business–a million things.

Her Favorite Basketball Wives:

I bounce back and forth between Tami and Evelyn. I like different things in each of them, so I bounce back and forth between them. I like them because that’s them, but I have similarities that I see in Evelyn. I am little bit more reserved, and I don’t really like to snap on people and show that side. I don’t think it is really necessary for me to get all crazy, but I can. I definitely have that inside of me. All I need the right person to bring it out.

Her Son Appearing on the Show:

You will definitely see me doing my family thing, my mom thing and my work thing. Anything that is me is going to be on there. Of course, my son is an important part of my life, so I wouldn’t do anything that didn’t involve him. I didn’t leave anything uncovered.

Dating Life:

I’m seeing somebody.

On Her Personal Style & Bikini Line:

I basically I like to mix cheap and expensive together, and it works for me. I believe as long as I have on a good shoe, I can wear anything and it looks right. If you are confident in your own skin, you can wear a plastic bag and it is going to look cute. Anything from Urban Outfitters to Neiman Marcus and anything in between. You can catch me in every store from Saks to Forever 21.

I am pretty basic. I don’t like to wear a lot of makeup, but I do like to wear bronzer. If my bronzer is out, I have to run and go get another one. I am also an eyelash girl! I don’t get the strips; I like the individual lashes. That’s something that I can’t live without. Some eyelashes, bronzer and lipgloss goes a long way with me. MAC Cremesheen. Any color, any shade, I love them all.

I am working on a bikini line right now for all types of girls. Its going to be affordable for everybody and stylish enough for everybody.
