From model to influencer to up-and- coming entrepreneur, 23 year old It Girl Hailey Grice has been killing it in the swimwear and lingerie field for years now— and she’s just getting started.
For the last three years, Hailey has been building up a name for herself in lingerie and swimwear, having modeled and been a featured face for different brands— including Lounge Underwear, Beauty Advisor, and High Tech Pharmaceuticals.
FWM: You grew up and had dreams of being a model. Tell us about
your background.
I went to college for two years in Charlotte with the understanding that I could never become a model with a height of 5’4.
I went out to Coachella as a vacation in 2019 and fell in love with California. I met many brands and friends that year and decided to move to Los Angeles.
FWM: How did you land your first modeling job?
My first modeling job came from a brand that I met out at Coachella. I was surprised and shocked about the opportunity and decided I wanted to follow my passions and move to the city of LA to continue working in the industry!
FWM: You are a successful model and influencer. What are your current projects?
My current favorite project I work for is a new app just released called LitPic. I’ve worked closely with the team to help develop this app and I’m super excited about the influencers we’ve brought on board and how the app is expanding.
FWM: What does it take to have a huge following as a lingerie and swimsuit model today?
The truth is, I’ve always tried to be as genuine as I can with my followers. Admittedly that means opening myself up to being vulnerable at times, which is something that has always been somewhat difficult for me to do publicly. However, I like to think my fans resonate with that and I have them to thank for everything.
FWM: Tell us about your strategy about monetizing on your content as an Influencer on my OnlyFans.
I allow my subscribers to see my personal side. I’ve finally started showing off my personality when I started my OnlyFans account, and it thrills me to see how much my fans love to see the real me.
FWM: You have used your platform as an advocate for body shaming. Tell us more.
I was diagnosed with an anxiety induced stomach disease called Gastroparesis that is manageable but not curable. My weight fluctuates whenever it wants. During this time when it was at its worst, I would constantly get direct messages and comments that said something around the lines of, “Eat a hamburger” or “You look unhealthy”. It was really discouraging and made me feel sad. Since then, I’ve started posting a lot more about my disease in hopes to educate people more. It’s always been hard for me to open up online about this topic specifically, but I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from my fans and others who suffer like I do.
