By 25, most people are getting settled into their careers. But Welsh glamour model Jessica Davies is now having to look for her next career. Her job took her around the world, led her to live the high life. But, when the lads mags closed and the shoots stopped, she was dropped back to reality and was working back in a pub in her hometown. Jessica had never dreamed of being a glamour model. In fact, the first time she was asked to remove her bra in a photoshoot, she said she refused. That anxiety is long gone and she has a hefty catalogue of work to her name. But, with the decline of the lads mags, and the change in the industry, the work has now stopped. And, aged 25, she's in the position of needing to come up with a second career because her first has already ended. Her modelling journey had started aged 14 when Jessica went to The Clothes Show in Birmingham where she was spotted and was put forward for a competition called Teen Queen. Jessica, originally from Aberystwyth but now … [Read more...] about Starting a new career after being a glamour model
