From swimsuit to film set

She's spent 2014 jet setting around the world winning pageant titles, filming promotions and posing for photo shoots. Now, *West Perth *beauty *Elise Natalie *has her sights set on the acting world.

With the holiday season in full swing, the blonde bombshell has flown home to *WA * after a stint in the US and Mexico, where she took out the runner-up title in both the Swimsuit USA International Model Search and Miss Global pageants.

But now Elise is looking to set her tiaras aside and jump into new territory in the new year.

"I've had such a busy 2014 but I'm looking to get more into hosting and I've made some connections in America, and from there I've put together a show reel for acting," she told _AAA _.

"I've met up with a few agents and producers over there who are interested in representing me."

One of Elise's highlights from the past few months was being invited to the Playboy mansion for a private party, where she was introduced to founder *Hugh Hefner *. * *

She described the 88-year-old mogul as "really sweet" and said there was a good atmosphere within the infamous building.

"The mansion is really quite low key and relaxed," Elise said.

"Everyone just wants to have a good time and mingle, there was no bitching at all."

Despite talks of her taking part in a Playboy cover shoot this year, the humble starlet said she was not ready to be involved in the magazine, instead wanting to focus her attention on her acting efforts.

"They were talking about a cover shoot but it's not really my thing at this point in time," Elise explained.

"I'm not one to just jump in and make a name for myself through that way."

Juggling modelling and travelling with a relationship with illusionist and former Australia's Got Talent finalist *Adam Murby *, Elise said the couple had no qualms about the long distance.

"We're both travelling around the world so we're used to it," she said.

"We're both very independent people who are just pursuing our own dreams. But we do Skype a lot."

And proving to be more than just a pretty face, Elise's strong social media presence has seen her become a health and fitness role model to inspire women to be confident in their own skin.

"I love encouraging confidence in others, even if you're not training or working out, having that inner confidence to believe in yourself and be happy with who you are," she explained.
