ProScout profile: Taylor Cooley, teen dream.
This weeks “ProScout Profile” reveals Taylor Cooley, an enigmatic 13 year old sure to be “the next big thing” from Texas. She’s fit, feisty, and (as you will read), already on the run from boys back home. Not that we blame them or anything. (See more of Taylor at www.facebook.com/ProScoutOfficial)
Taylor rocked her first time at ProScout.
Name: Taylor Lenae Cooley
Age: 13
State: Texas (near Brownsville).
Height: 5′5″.
Result at ProScout: 6 callbacks (Wilhelmina NYC/LA, Product Model Management, NEXT Model Management, DDO Artists Agency, IMG Models, Shepard Smith Management LA.
Smells like teen spirit.
ProScout: We hear you can sing, too. What would be the name of your first hit single?
TC: It would be something relevant to my teenage experiences, maybe something like “Whoa, Don’t be a Stalker” because some girls (and guys) my age would rather follow each other around or take pictures from a distance because they don’t have the courage to have a face-to-face conversation with someone they like.
ProScout: When did you first get the on-camera bug?
TC: I knew I was meant to model when I stepped on the runway at ProScout. I felt like the stage was mine and no one could take it away from me. I knew I wanted to do something involving modeling when I got my first phone that could take pictures. Once I figured out I could take pictures of myself I began taking full advantage of it’s capabilities – and still do.
We heart Taylor Cooley. You will too.
ProScout: Name your Silly Secret Wish in Show-biz:
TC: I want it all. Sing, act, model. In everything I do, I just want to leave the audience speechless.
ProScout: Share something odd/unique/weird about me that no one would guess:
TC: My hair is possessed! It is super curly hair, not wavy like most would expect but kinky curls with a random 2 inch straight spot in the front only on one side.
ProScout: Describe what you love about home life back in your home town.
TC: I love my friends and we can sometimes get ridiculously excited about the smallest things, We act pretty goofy.
ProScout: Which celeb would you most like to have as your homecoming date. Why?
TC: Mark Salling (Puck from GLEE) so we could sing together and to one another- Like our very own episode of GLEE Homecoming.
ProScout: What would you prefer most – a magazine, cover, a new album, your own TV series?
TC: I would want a special edition magazine cover that plays my music while you read – like the musical Hallmark cards.
ProScout: What would you do with your first big paycheck?
TC: I would get me a giant standard poodle as a pet; then pay my parents back all the money they have invested in me.
Triple threat. We warned you...
