Macenstein

Welcome to Macenstein‘s “Mac Chick of the Month”. Each month we feature a different die-hard, Mac-loving girl who is (almost) as well designed as the Apple products they love. This month we present you with the lovely Shantal Monique, a full-time college student and model, and of course, a die-hard Mac Chick!

“Currently I am a full time college student and I am taking the summer off of college to expand my modeling and acting career,” says Shantal. It seems to be paying off, as in addition to the highly covetted title of Mac chick of the Month, Shantal was just named Playboy’s May Cyber Girl of the Month 2012 and her pictorial was released on Saturday May 19th. “I have been pretty busy lately with traveling for shoots and I know this will be a very successful year for me and the best has yet to come. I have been very fortunate to meet a lot of wonderful talented people. We are all at the point of hitting it big. To be part of this and see everyone grow and become successful is one of the greatest experiences of my life.”

“I love Apple products; they play a huge role in my everyday life. My first Apple product was the iPhone 3G. As soon as I got my hands on it I was in love. As soon as the next iPhone came out I was all in! Today I have the iPhone 4 and plan on getting the iPhone 5 as soon as that comes out. I don’t think I could live without my iPhone or my iPad. I think my iPad is one of my favorites just because I use it daily for playing games, listening to music, taking pictures, networking with fans and even reading my school books and doing homework.”
