We mentionned to Melisande that she kinda reminds us of legendary British Bombshell Diana Dors... and she agreed!
1) So how did one pretty girl with big green eyes found interest in fetish clothing and photography?
Teehee! I guess I'm a bit of a weirdo! Latex and PVC are some lovely things I found an interest in later, first off it was CORSETS - silk, lace and velvet, yum!
2) Do you have a background in art studies or even model school, by any chance? Or are you self-taught?
I studied photography at Uni, I actually wanted to be a photographer, but discovered how much fun it was being the subject!
3) You have a timeless aura around yourself that makes you ideal for classic pin-up projects. Are there any models/actresses from the past that had an inspiration for you?
Hmmm, thats very interesting! When I was very small, I was super facinated by Diana Dors and Mae West, which I haven't actually thought about for years! They where so mind meltingly beautiful, I would never imagine trying to be anything like them in a million years tho!
4) OK now what is your biggest fashion weakness… corsets? towering platform shoes? or any other? ;)
That's it! If I was rich, I would fill my wardrobe FULL of corsets! I love them! And yep! Massive shoes, Id love to design my own, I really like big Japanese cosplay styles to mach my gothic lolita dresses, so I can look like a big silly frilly doll! Hee!
5) How does your model work reflects in you personal life? Do you enjoy to "play up" in private?
Oh Yes! I love to dress up! Thats what I enjoy the most if I'm going out or getting ready for a shoot, and yes, in private too! ^.~
6) Have you ever been to any fetish event? Is this something that holds any appeal to you?
I've been to 3 or 4 in the past, but it's not pretty to see dodgy old blokes with their willys out, which kinda spoils it! I have been to burlesque shows which are much more glam and gorgeous.
7) Does having to model all these great clothes ever gave you the urge to design some one of these days? Do you have any say on what you wear?
Oh yeah! I'd love to, when I'm very rich and famous! HA! Nearly all the shoots I have done have been on next to no money, so the costumes, hair and make up is all by me! *sigh*
8) Will the pink hair ever come back? ;)
Well, I'd love to have my pink hair back, but I tried to get a serious job which meant going back to a "normal" colour! (I'm working in a wine shop at the mo, not so serious when u sample the stock!)
9) So what kind of dream projects do you have in the back of your mind? What do you consider you still have to achieve as a model?
I just love to do this for fun, and meeting new people and trying new things. Would love to do an all out full frills burlesque shoot full of feathers and sparkles! I've not been able to con any costume designers yet!
