Model Arianny Celeste has become very well known thanks to the explosion in popularity of mixed martial arts due to her role as a UFC Ring Girl, including on the popular reality show The Ultimate Fighter.

In scientific terms, Arianny is what’s known as ‘yummy!’

Check out these great Arianny Celeste pics. These are some of my favorites. I’m sure I’ll end up saying that each time I add more Arianny photos to ths site. Click to see the Arianny Celeste Photo Gallery.

Q: I love your attitude about things. Unfortunately, too many people are miserable and instead of trying to become a success they try and make others miserable, too. I see this a lot with people who want to lose weight.

It always seems as if those closest to them do the most to sabotage their efforts and keep them from making such a positive change.

And someone like yourself sees it a lot because you get judged by how you look and a lot of (wrong) assumptions are made. This can’t be easy. How do you deal with that kind of negativity?

A: Yes, it can be extremely frustrating. But really all you can do is channel that negative energy into something positive, or you can let it get to you. I choose to make it into a positive.

I use it to motivate me and keep me grounded, no matter how many successes I may have.

Q: Guys wouldn’t forgive me if I didn’t ask some of THOSE questions so here goes!

Do you wear thongs, spanky pants or boy shorts?

A: Depends what I’m wearing….usually a thong but i love boyshorts

Q: What’s your idea of a romantic evening?

A: A bottle of wine, candlelight, good conversation

Q: What makes a man sexy?

A: Confidence (not arrogance), intelligence, a great sense of self, family oriented, charismatic, funny

Q: What do you consider to be sensual foods?

A: Spaghetti….hahah jk! Chocolate mmmm

Q: Other than the obvious, where do you most like a man to touch you?

A: I like when a guy holds my face when kissing…i find it sweet

Q: What do you think is the sexiest part on a man’s body?

A: Arms!

Q: What is the sexiest piece of clothing a woman can wear? Why?

A: Doesn’t really matter, as long as she rocks it!

Q: Favorite music?

A: I love hip hop…anything I can dance to! I love to dance!

Q: Favorite movie?

A: There are too many to name! I am a huge fan of old movies from the 40’s and 50’s like: Sunset Boulevard, Mildred Pierce, Madame X, Robin and the Seven Hoods, Sabrina, Pride of the Yankees, and anything with Humphrey Bogart really. And in the more up to date category: American Beauty, Sleepers, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Departed, Burn After Reading, Wedding Crashers, Old School…..

Q: Worst pick up line ever heard.

A: Oh god I have heard so many not just bad, but PAINFULLY HORRIBLE ONES! LOL I can’t even think of one at the top of my head…I’ve tried to block them out! haha

Q: What inspired or motivated you to pursue your career the way you have?

A: From as far back as I could remember, I always loved being in front of the camera, and always wanted to be an actress. I was born to do it!

And as soon as I was capable of making my own decisions, I went for it! Full force!!

Q: People who have a lot of weight to lose really struggle with motivation. All they can think about is losing 30, 50, 70 pounds or more and how long it’s going to take and they want all the results TODAY! You don’t seem to have any trouble at all with the mental part of success.

You seem extremely motivated and focused. Most people fail at what they want because they don’t have the proper mindset to succeed.

What advice can you give to our readers to help them focus on smaller goals and stick to their plan with getting frustrated and quitting?

A: I think it’s always a good idea to have long-term goals planned out. But you also need to take things one step at a time.

I think it’s good to set up a game plan and to make smaller goals that are attainable within an certain time period and move on from there, until you eventually reach your ultimate goal.

Determination and self discipline are very important, and you definitely have to believe in yourself!! YOU are capable of making all your dreams come true, you just have to BELIEVE it!!!

There is always going to be a point where you get frustrated. But that is normal!

What you need to do is have the strength to get past all the challenges and frustrations and know that the feeling of happiness and accomplishment that you will feel once you have achieved all that you have been working so hard for, is SOOOO WORTH IT!!!

Quitting is never an option! Anything that means something to you is definitely worth the fight, it just makes you appreciate your success all the more!

Q: What’s the biggest mistake you made when you started and how did you correct it?

A: I can’t really pin down one particular mistake, I have made a ton. I am human, but part of making those mistakes is learning and growing.

In the beginning of my career, I really didn’t have a lot of support, and didn’t really know much about the industry or what I had to do to get where I wanted to be.

But I refused to sit there and wait for someone to come along and tell me all the secrets.

I went out there and put every ounce of effort and every ounce of my being into this, and sure I made mistakes, but I got out there and went for it. And I have learned a lot!

And have grown a great deal! It took me a while to really “get” how the industry works, and I see a lot of working actors who still don’t really “get” it.

But I feel I am an intelligent woman, and I really have been open to learning as much as I can about my craft, the industry, and myself.

Q: Moving forward and knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently with your own journey, if anything?

A: I probably would have started out earlier. I grew up in Connecticut, where the opportunities for a film actress are really limited.

And though I deep down always knew what I wanted, it was difficult to really find any good opportunities being from such a small town.

I grew up a trained dancer, and dancing was really my first passion.

But as I grew a little older and my interest in acting grew, I wish I would have jumped into it a little sooner.

Q: The most common excuse I hear from people who don’t eat right or train, or pursue any of their dreams, for that matter, is that they don’t have the time.

What advice do you have for people who use ‘lack of time’ as an excuse to keep from achieving excellence in life?

A: I hate excuses!!!! Sorry to be blunt. But, if you really want something….like have that deep burning feeling deep in the pit of your stomach that you were put on this earth to do something, to contribute something to others, and you cannot live and be happy doing anything else but this dream, THEN DO IT!!!! Don’t make excuses!

If you are passionate enough and this goal or dream means enough to you, then you WILL make time for it! It just depends what your priorities are.

As far as people making excuses for not eating right or training, same thing applies.

You need to put forth the effort and you need discipline.

I know first hand how tough it can be! Especially when it comes to eating! I have a HUGE appetite! I LOVE food! Especially food that’s not very healthy (it tends to taste the best!), but I just discipline myself, and give myself healthier options.

I definitely don’t believe in depriving yourself of something that you really want, there is definitely room for sweets here or there, its all about moderation!

Q: Do you have any tips and tricks you’ve learned that you’d like to share?

A: Whether its in physical training or in the pursuit of your dreams, I think determination, self discipline, and having fun are a huge part of it! You have to enjoy what you are doing!

And as far as going for your dreams, BY FAR, the most important advice I can give to anyone is to: BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.

There are so many shady people out there, in every industry. You can’t let them get to you. You have to stay true to yourself and what you believe it.

There are a lot of people that will do anything to further their careers, but I believe in having integrity and pride in yourself.

After all, it is you that has to look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day.

No matter how much success you may have, if you are not happy with yourself and proud of the person you are, then it means nothing.

Q: What do you think are the keys to becoming successful, whether it’s acting, modeling or losing 15 pounds?

A: You have to be passionate and care about what you do. Determination. Self Discipline. Confidence. Being true to yourself.

Q: What’s one of the things you find most challenging about what you do?

A: The industry is general is very challenging. There is a lot of pressure to be “perfect”. To be a certain look, a certain weight, etc. I am pretty confident in myself so I am able to get passed that to a point.

But what really bothers me is for some reason there are a lot of people that make assumptions about me based on the way I look. I really don’t understand it.

To be clear, I am NOT saying I am the most beautiful girl out there. I am not. There are a ton of beautiful women out there, especially in my industry.

And for some reason, there is this stigma that an attractive woman can not be intelligent. Or that if someone is attractive that automatically makes them ditzy, or stuck up, or someone who cannot be taken seriously. I find this so frustrating! Especially because I take pride in the person I am!

I am an intelligent, strong, and passionate young woman, and I think I have a good head on my shoulders.

Why on earth, anyone would not take me seriously, or think that I am some sort of ditz is beyond me! I think there are a lot of people that think that some people just want to be an actor because they like watching themselves or think they look good on camera. But my motivation for doing what I do, is ANYTHING but that.

I have always had a passion for film, for as long as I can remember. I have always had an immense appreciation for filmmakers and actors and what they do.

There have been so many times in my life where I have felt alone, depressed, or like no one else understood me, and have gone and watched a movie and it has totally changed my mood or outlook.

Movies give us something to relate to. They can inspire,motivate, and teach you about life and about yourself.

They can make you laugh when you are upset, bring to your attention what is really important in life when you are astray, or just plain entertain you.

And that is why I am an actress, I want to do that for people. And I take myself and my career very seriously, and its about time that other people do!

Q: What are your future plans?

A: I plan to have a long and successful career in film and television. I want to be recognized for my talent, and to be an inspiration to others – not only on screen but off as well.

Mandy took a few minutes out of her schedule to answer some extremely important questions for FitnessModelsForYou.com

Q: Mandy, You were on America’s Most Smartest Model.

What was the experience like and what did you learn from it?

Mandy Lynn: The experience was like no other. It’s really interesting actually all the twists and turns that production would throw at us during filming.

It is really bugged out because it’s reality but at the same time not it isn’t because it is obviously an unnatural situation.

But it was awesome to be part of it and I would do it again in a second!

I learned a lot about myself from it, funny things, like for example — facial expressions that I didn’t realize that I make, how my voice sounds, my mannerisms…stuff like that.

It’s interesting because you get to see yourself from a perspective that you would not normally be able to see.

Q: What’s one thing about reality TV shows you can share with us that most people watching them don’t know?

Mandy Lynn: That the shows are prerecorded. It’s crazy how many people think the show is live.

Also one episode is like two or three days worth of filming and there is SO much you don’t get to see!

Q: The reason a show like that was made was because the stereotype is that models (and beautiful women in general) aren’t that smart, mainly because they have things handed to them because of how they look.

Q: Being a slightly above average looking woman yourself, does this bother you at all or do you just use it to your advantage because people will underestimate you?

Mandy Lynn: Oh it’s absolutely an advantage! I love it! Go ahead and underestimate me as I move on up the ladder of success! lol!

So yeah, I try to turn that around and use it in a good way.

It is funny how on the show I am placed at the bottom of the ladder so to speak, by Mary Alice, when in reality I have done a lot more work than most of the cast members.

So when people meet me they assume I am gonna be dumb and by the end of the day they have their foot in their mouth — yea baby! haha

Q: It’s quite obvious by looking at you that your brains are your best asset.

Besides your web site, ClubMandyLynn.com, do you have any other plans for world domination?

Mandy Lynn: Absolutely and you said it yourself I have a lot of brains so it wouldn’t be smart to tell you my plan now would it? *evil laugh*

But yeah I do have a ton of fun ideas and projects coming up so keep checking my site to find out what I’ve got going on!

Q: Okay, Mandy, let’s come clean. What kind of grades did you get in school?

Mandy Lynn: Actually I did pretty well in school. I was the type that did extra credit projects and studied for tests — really!

Up until 11th grade when hormones started kickin in and I’m like damn he’s hot and the mall became my 2nd home! lol

Q: What’s the square root of 1,287?

Mandy Lynn: 35.8747822!! Because I didn’t google that or anything! lol! Well I’m smart enough to know you can find anything you need on google! lol!

Q: Don’t you think it’s true that East Coasters do everything better?

Mandy Lynn: Hell yea! I like it here in NY better than LA because people are more real, more focused, where in LA it is so much about partying and such a superficial “hollywood” vibe.

It’s cool but I just get bored of that fast and I am happy to come home to NY.

Q: Now be honest, now that your making a living by modeling, do you do anything to keep looking fit or are you one of those women that eats fries by the bucket load and still looks great?

Before answering, remember that women may read this and could find out where you live.

Mandy Lynn: LMAO! Sorry to say (for other women) but yea I can eat what I want and not gain a pound.

I have a small appetite, and when I do eat it doesn’t take much to make me full. I always say it is like I was born with a “stay skinny” system in my body.

I think of it like a rare car, because there are others out there just like me but not that many so people refuse to believe you are like that naturally because that makes them feel better.

But nope, this is how I was built. I’m a very petite girl and I am thankful while this lasts! But I do want to gain about 5 lbs.

Q: If you do exercise and try and eat healthy, what do you like to do and eat?

Mandy Lynn: I don’t eat healthy at all and that is not a good thing for health purposes and I always say I need to start eating right as I’m popping a cookie into my mouth! lol!

Just because I’m skinnny doesn’t mean that I don’t need the nutrients of fruits and stuff and I know that.

Same thing with exercise. I should do it because it is good for you even though I don’t need to lose weight. It is my new years resoluiton! haha

Q: I’ll believe that when I see it!

Q: Okay, now come probably the two most important questions you’ll ever answer in your life so think carefully.

Q: Who is the sexiest looking person to ever interview you?

Mandy Lynn: You of course!

Q: Wow. You ARE really smart!

Since you were lucky enough to have me take some of my valuable time and interview you, do you feel like your life long dreams have been fulfilled?

Yes, I feel so lucky! haha

Q: Thanks Mandy!

Q: Do you wear thong, spank pants or boy shorts?

Hot Babe Xtina Noel: I mostly wear boy shorts or brazilian cut panties.

Thongs only when I have to. Boy shorts make me feel sexier and more comfortable.

Q: What’s your idea of a romantic evening?

Xtina Noel: Honestly I’m not a picky woman.

I like a nice quiet dinner, a walk around the city or on the beach. I like to be low-key.

Q: What makes a man sexy to a sexy bikini babe like yourself?

Xtina Noel: Confidence and motivation. I love a man who knows what he wants and has the ambition to go for it.

Q: What do you consider to be sensual foods?

Xtina Noel: Sushi, its my favorite!

Q: Other than the obvious, where do you most like a man to touch you?

Xtina Noel: My neck is my weak spot. I guess I shouldn’t have told you that because now everyone knows my secret! (laughs)

Q: lol I’m taking notes! What do you think is the sexiest part on a man’s body?

Xtina Noel: His chest and his eyes by far.

Q: What is the sexiest piece of clothing a woman can wear? Why?

Fitness Babe Xtina Noel: Absolutely nothing. A woman will always feel sexy wearing nothing because its a sense of freedom.

You don’t have to worry about if anything looks nice or if it doesn’t make a certain part of your body look good.

Well, that goes for me but I think most women will agree

Q: Great answer! Favorite music?

Xtina Noel: Anything I can sing and dance to. I love to dance.

Q: Favorite movie?

Xtina Noel: 300! Men fighting for freedom and what they want. Cant get any better than that!

Q: As a hot bikini model, you must get hit on a thousand times a day. Worst pick up line ever heard.

Xtina Noel: There’s a million of these! Ive gotten everything from cheesy to raunchy, its just not attractive.

Q: Advice for guys who want to approach you.

Xtina Noel: I actually like doing the approaching, I always go for what I want and what Im interested in.

It just saves the guy the embarrassment of being let down or being put in an uncomfortable situation.

Thanks Xtina!
