Duckie Thot, Class of 2013
Meet the Model Duckie – Oyster Magazine Interview
Nyadak Thot
aka Duckie is all about family. She's one of seven kids and her older sister Nicki was a model in New York before inspiring her little sister to audition for Australia's Next Top Model last year. While on the show, she missed her sister's wedding. You might say she's made up for it now though, having gained local and international attention. She starred in our
Jo Duck shoot
just last week, and now she's back to answer some questions!
Where did you grow up and where are you currently living?
Duckie: I'm born and raised Aussie, although most people assume I was born in South Sudan. I grew up in Melbourne and I'm currently living here.
What's the most surreal thing to have happened to you in your modelling career so far?
A lot has happened so fast, but I would have to say going on Australia's Next Top Model. That started up my modelling career. I've always been interested in modelling, but I was too nervous to go to an agency. My sister basically forced me to audition the season after Charlotte Dawson scouted me in the crowd.
What's the best advice you've ever received? Do you stick to it?
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13. It's not advice that someone's given me, but this verse in the Bible has helped me along the way and I try and stick by it as much as possible. It's always a nice reminder that anything's possible :)
What would you be doing right now if you weren't modelling?
If I wasn't modelling right now, I'd want to play basketball professionally. Basketball has been a big part of my life the last few years and it always will be. I only started to become serious about the game 3 years ago when I started playing for New Stars. My coach made me see the game in a way I hadn't noticed before and that's something I'll never forget.
