<p>Riggo&#8217;s Rag had the recent privilege of interviewing Top Model and Miss Maryland 2011 semi-finalist Brittany Britto. Brittany has also been featured on the Campus Girls 2009 calendar as Miss October. Brittany is nothing short of a world traveler, having lived on a few different continents throughout her first 22 years of life. Ms. Britto is not only a model, but she&#8217;s a true Patriots fan. We here at Riggo&#8217;s Rag decided to pick her brain about her modeling career, writing and of course the game later today. Enjoy.</p>
<p><strong>RR- How&#8217;d you get into modeling? From what I&#8217;ve seen you&#8217;re into a few other fields of work. What sparked your interest in writing?</strong></p>
</div>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 145px"><img src="http://www.sportsclb.com/wp-content/uploads/Clinton_Portis_914669.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="202" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Britto&#39;s first Redskins encounter was Sheriff Gon&#39; Getcha himself</p></div>
<p>BB- I started modeling around the age of 4 in Providence, where I was born, and later in Boston. I was scouted in a mall and started modeling with an agency there for a couple of years. I was also fortunate to do a lot of moving around while I was young, and got to go overseas for high school for my father’s job, so I was able to pursue modeling in high school by doing different fashion shows, working with smaller agencies while in Hong Kong, which was a lot of fun. I came back here to the states for college to attend University of Maryland. I’d say that’s when I really started taking modeling more serious here in the district, doing different promo jobs and eventually working with different photographers and fashion shows. Ironically, my very first job that I ever got was working promo for the Redskins at a nightclub. Clinton Portis was the first celebrity I met in DC. I was like 18 and super intimidated, and all I could drink was Redbull. So funny!</p>
<div>
<p>I participated in DC Fashion Week my freshman year, and started working with different charity fashion events, including Fashion Fights Poverty, Campus Girls USA (a calendar with proceeds going to breast cancer research), and Belafigure, a swimsuit line in support of breast cancer research. My senior year, I was personally chosen by Tyra Banks to be featured on Cycle 14 of America&#8217;s Next Top Model but unfortunately didn&#8217;t make the cut. I also participated in Miss Maryland USA 2010 and made semi-finalist my first shot. I&#8217;m still pursuing modeling, but have been focusing more closely on graduation, which is in just a few weeks.</p>
<p>I’ve always loved writing and reading. At age 12, I told myself I was going to be a journalist, but it wasn’t until I came to college that I really learned how much I enjoy writing for myself and how much I enjoy telling stories. I’m an English major and a Creative Writing minor, so I dabble in different types of writing. I love to blog for myself personally. I write stories about life experiences and coming of age. I’m hoping to get a few of my stories published within the new year. I still love journalism, and I gave that a shot this semester while working as an intern for Washington Life Magazine. I love everything that has to do with writing. I think it’s the greatest outlet and the foundation for almost everything. Everything starts in writing. <a href="http://riggosrag.com/2011/12/11/top-model-and-miss-maryland-semi-finalist-brittany-britto-talks-patriots-redskins-with-riggos-rag/#more-6972" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></div>
