Say hello, bonjour, and مرحبا to Amna Bou-Azza

Just as any good sandwich begins with a neat idea for the name (okay, that's debatable, but we prefer to think of it this way!), all model careers begin with a scout. Amna Bou-Azza is just that. With her sharp eye and multi-tasking panache (she's a part time model-scout, part time writer for Idoll Magazine NYC, editor for All About Models, and full time student! Wow!), she's already placed many up-and-comes with the agency 107 Models. 

Let's get to know Amna with the good ol' Pivot Questionnaire. Coming soon: a more in-depth interview about scouting and 107.

1.What is your favorite word? Audacity.
2. What is your least favorite word? Failure.
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?Beauty, good music (Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Placebo...), and sometimes conversations between my sisters 0r friends.
4. What turns you off? Lack of tact.
5. What is your favorite curse word? A Spanish equivalent of f*ck: Joder.
6. What sound or noise do you love? The sound of the waves. It's just waw!

7. What sound or noise do you hate? Car horns.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? I'm still a student, I study product design and want to specialize in accessories design. I'm not a designer yet but would like to be an accessories designer!

9. What profession would you not like to do?
A politician, everyone is just pulling to his side for his own interest, it's selfish and hypocritical.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "Oh you! You're late and by the way, they already miss ya!"
