Looking pretty as a runway model and doing business seem pretty far apart, however, Apple is able to perfectly marinate her modeling profession and the company she founded. Apple's company Feed A Model not just serves as an inspiration to artists, but also benefits various charities as it donates partial proceeds from events and exhibits it hosts.

Feed A Model first started with 4 models, they did weekly get-togethers for art projects at the FeedAModel House in West Hollywood. They call these events "Art Night". When it became more popular, the group extended participation to artistic girls other than just models. The group started promoting their art by putting on fabulous events including fashion runway shows, live painting exhibits, hotel pool parties, gallery openings, etc.
What made you want to start the Feed A Model organization? At first it was just fun having girls get together for art night, but then you notice people who didn't think they were creative, would start painting and realize they're actually pretty good at it. The objective is to promote creativity and inspire people to live out their ideas.
Where do you host your events at? Previous venues for events include the Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Rey, The STANDARD in downtown LA, ECCO launge in Hollywood, the Blue Monkey, etc.
What makes Apple's art distinguishable? Guns are always incorporated with the art piece. Apple, "I'm from Texas, guns have always been part of my life, it means some kind of power and I like it. I'm also trying to promote taking guns off of streets and putting them into art."
What's Melody's sense of style? Melody, "right now I'm into music, all my art has music in it. We took records, CDs, and tapes and made shelves and mail holders out of them. It's fun!"
What kind of music do you like? Melody, "I like all kinds of music but not the mainstream stuff. It just doesn't make any sense to me."
These girls demonstrate they have good looks, good brains, and also have good hearts as a portion of all proceeds from the events they put on goes to different national charities, including:
