It's not only the eyes... not only the hair... it's everything!
Meet another exceptionally versatile Siren!
1) What decided you to become a model for more alternative projects?
I've always been attracted to the darker side of things. I love things eerie, eclectic, and surreal - that's beauty to me. Standing out among the rest and having that variety in looks. I can't stand the same thing all the time, and you definitely won't find that with alternative modeling. This is the most creative modeling I've ever seen - it beats fashion modeling hands down!
2) Who are the main entertainers/personalities from the past and present that inspire you?
I don't like saying I have idols or people I look up to, because that's not true. I don't put human beings on a pedestal. They're just like everyone else at the end of the day, no matter if you're a star or not. There are so many great models out there that I'm inspired by many people's work. Usually I see an image, and if it's really killer it might inspire me to try something like that. Not ripping anyone off of course. But for example, if I see a really gorey horror shoot, I might be inspired to try a gorey horror shoot too - but a completely different idea if you get what I mean.
3) How much is fetish important in your professional and personal life? For example, you can be seen in some Rubberdoll projects… do this kind of projects reflect on your personality?
Modeling fetish stuff doesn't really reflect my personality whatsoever. Modeling is about being able to dress up and pretend to be something you're not, and it's also a creative outlet. Don't get me wrong I love the fetish fashions and I've gone to plenty of fetish parties, but I don't have any personal fetishes of my own... unless there's one for Jack Daniels hehe. But I'm truly a metal chick at heart and you will find me at a metal show over a fetish party any day of the week. I like hanging out with the boys... because there's less of a chance to deal with catty girls. And typically the chicks I meet at metal shows are pretty chill since they have the same mentality, and most of them are my good friends now :) Excluding a select few of course haha. But I like chilling with a bunch of dudes, totally goofing off and almost pissing my pants laughing while listening to a bunch of metal and drinking my whiskey. I'm definitely more of a chill/hang out kind of girl rather than a clubbing one.
4) Of course this question is very obvious, but we can’t get around that fact… what’s the story with your amazingly gorgeous hair? Since when have you let it grown that long?
I didn't realize there was a story with it... I don't know what to tell you except that I have really really really long hair... or so I've been told lol. The longest it's ever been is 3 inches above my knees, and I've been growing it for 10 years. I just have really amazing hair genetics. Not even being vain, just honest. I have my father's hair - thick, wavy, and super healthy. He's in his 50's and no bald spot or receding hair line whatsoever. Same thing with my 76 years old paternal grandfather.... in fact no one on my Dad's side of the family has thinning hair or is balding.
Also, I'm just throwing this in because so many girls say to me "How do you get your hair so long? I'm been growing mine out forever but it doesn't get past a certain point." Answer is that it probably never will. Your genetics predetermine how long your hair will grow. I'm not making this shit up, it's 100% a fact. So if your hair never grows past shoulder length for example, it most likely never will. Just think about it, your genetics determine the color, texture, and thickness of your hair.... and consequently your length too. I'm just lucky my Dad knocked up my Mom and I got awesome hair genes haha.
5) For someone who only does modeling on weekends, you have quite an impressive list of credits. Do you have long term goals concerning your career?
Sure I do. Do I know exactly what those goals are? No. I just know that I want to keep progressing with my work and take it one day at a time. I don't know what the future holds for me, and I take each opportunity as they come. If I were to sit here and say, well by 2010 I want to be on the cover of a bunch of different magazines, traveling the world, and be a top model... and that didn't happen... that would be a huge let down for most people, and I'm not that type of person. I'm a firm believer in going with the flow of things. I'm constantly changing my mind on things, so there are things I wanted to do last year that no longer hold interest for me. Like a true Gemini haha.
6) Do you prefer doing makeup on others or on your own Ugly Mug (as you refer to your perfect facial features on your Model Mayhem page!)?
I definitely prefer doing it on my Ugly Mug rather than other people's Ugly Mugs :). I know my facial features better than anyone, so it's always a piece of cake to do my makeup. Doing it on other people can be a real chore sometimes. Like one girl I did it on - she had never worn mascara before in her life, and I applied it to her for the first time.... well her eyes would not stop watering - and trust me I didn't get any in her eyes, even when I started to get close to her lashes with the mascara wand she would just start tearing up. So the makeup got messed up, I had to fix it all, and then her makeup didn't look complete because I couldn't finish her eyes. I know I won't have any problems like that with me, so I definitely prefer doing my own.
7) Is there a particular band or artist that turned you into a fan of metal? Are you a musician yourself?
Nope, not a musician. And there was no particular band that tuned me into metal. It was a plethora of them. I find it impossible to have just one favorite band, when there are so many kick ass metal bands out there. It would be unfair to just choose one.
8) Do you prefer cheesy horror/sci-fi movies of the 50s or current gore-drenched low-budget productions?
I genuinely enjoy both genres. Well, except for the Sci-FI - really not my thing unless it's a badass Sci-Fi like Alien, Chronicles of Riddick, etc - something gorey. But I'm not a big fan of anything too futuristic or spacey. I grew up watching all different sorts of horror, gore, kung fu, action movies, etc. since I was a toddler. My Dad only censored us from watching any sex scenes that would come up in a movie, but violence he didn't have a problem with us seeing. So I was exposed to all kinds of neat stuff like that as a kid, and I knew it was fake, so I didn't have too many nightmares lol. But gore-drenched blood and gut movies hold a special place in my heart hahaha.
9) We recently added Deanna Deadly as a Siren… you posed together before, right? Do you mind working alongside other beautiful models on assignments (with all of them probably envious of your hair lol)?
Yes we've shot together two or three times now, I forget (sorry Deanna haha). But no I don't have a problem shooting with other models, as long as they don't act like the Queen B of the shoot, and that's something I have never encountered with another model to date.
10) So… do you always spill your Jack Daniels when you drink it straight out of the bottle? :-D
Nope, I would never commit alcohol abuse like that haha! And a little secret, it was ice tea used in that shoot :) I just finished the Jack and saved the bottle for that purpose.
