meet ave eva

ave is one of the reasons why skinikinis started. she's a proud latina content creator with a big heart and an even bigger personality. she loves all things pink, girly, and glamorous, and brings fun, authenticity, and positive energy wherever she goes. outgoing, goofy, and always up for an adventure, she enjoys meeting new people and making genuine connections. her bubbly spirit, kind heart, and playful nature are a big part of what makes her so memorable.

your presence seems to have blown with the past year, why do you think people are connecting with your content right now?

I think people are connecting with my content right now because what they see is genuinely me. I’ve always believed in being authentic, and I think my personality really shines through in everything I create. Over the past year, I’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with some incredible models and photographers who have helped me grow both creatively and professionally. Beyond the content itself, I love building real connections with people. The friendships and relationships I’ve made along the way mean so much to me, and I think that sense of authenticity, community, and positivity is something people naturally gravitate toward.

looking back, was there one post, photo, or decision that changed everything?

I would say working with Aldo Faundez at The Oasis Meetup in the summer of 2025 was the moment that really sparked everything for me. That experience introduced me to so many talented models and photographers who would go on to play an important role in my journey. Not only did it help me build valuable connections in the industry, but it also gave me a huge boost in confidence and encouraged me to put myself out there more. It was also a key moment in helping grow the Skinikinis brand, which I’m proud to be a part of. Looking back, that opportunity opened a lot of doors and set the foundation for many of the amazing experiences that followed.

what inspired you to start modeling and creating content?

Modeling has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl. I was always fascinated by fashion, photography, and the confidence that models seemed to carry. Content creation gave me the opportunity to do exactly that. I wanted to branch out, stand apart from the crowd, and show people who I really am beyond just a photo. Through modeling and content creation, I’ve been able to embrace my individuality, build meaningful connections, and inspire others to be confident in themselves as well.

if you had to choose only one area of modeling: swim, fashion, fitness, beauty, commercial, creative, etc, which would you choose and why?

If I had to choose just one area of modeling, it would definitely be swimwear. Not only is it my favorite type of modeling, but it’s also very personal to me because my husband and I own skinikinis! Being involved with the brand has given me a deeper appreciation for swimwear modeling because I get to be part of the creative process and help bring our vision to life. I love the confidence, freedom, and self-expression that swimwear modeling represents. For me, it’s about much more than just wearing a bikini. It’s about helping people feel beautiful, empowered, and comfortable in their own skin. Watching skinikinis grow and being able to model for something that my husband and I have built together makes it even more rewarding.

besides hanging out in bikinis, what else do you do?

I’m usually spending time with the people I love most. I love being with my family, hanging out with friends, and spending time with my pup, Keanu Reeves. I’m a big homebody at heart, so one of my favorite things to do is curl up on the couch with a good movie, a cozy blanket, and way too many snacks. I also love trying new restaurants, exploring new places, shopping, dancing, karaoke, and finding fun little adventures wherever I can. I’m very social and love meeting new people! No matter what I’m doing, I try to enjoy life, make memories, and have as much fun as possible along the way.

what’s something people don’t usually expect about you?

I can make friends almost anywhere. Put me in a grocery store line, a coffee shop, or an elevator, and chances are I’ll end up having a full conversation with a complete stranger! I genuinely love meeting people and hearing their stories. It’s one of my favorite things about life and has led to some really fun friendships.

is there any recent accomplishment you are most proud of?

Yes! I’m incredibly proud of is being chosen as the July skinikinis vixin of the month! It was such an exciting and meaningful moment for me because I’ve watched so many talented, beautiful, and inspiring models represent the brand before me. To be selected and included among that group is truly an honor. Skinikinis is something that is very close to my heart, so being chosen to represent the brand in this way feels even more special. It has been amazing to see how far I’ve come over the past year, it motivates me to continue growing, creating, and representing the brand with confidence and pride.

whats next for you?

I don’t have anything planned right now, I’m just going with the flow and seeing where things take me!

this question is from jacklyn, june vixin of the month: what’s one moment in your life that completely changed the way you see yourself?

I'd say it was when I started modeling and creating content. Before that, I was just like a lot of people, I had insecurities, doubted myself, and never really saw myself in front of a camera. But once I took that first step, I realized confidence comes from putting yourself out there, not waiting until you feel ready. The biggest thing that changed my perspective was meeting so many incredible models, photographers, videographers, and creators. Getting to know them made me realize everyone has insecurities, no matter how confident they seem. That helped me stop comparing myself to others and start appreciating my own journey. Modeling and content creation helped me grow as a person and become more confident in who I am.

what question do you have for the next featured vixin?

What’s your dream shoot concept?

any last words, socials/links, shoutouts, etc.?

I’d like to shoutout my husband and owner of skinikinis! He’s been my rock and my number one supporter in everything I do. I’m very proud of what he has achieved and can’t wait to see what our future holds. 🧡
