How did you get started modeling?

My friend that I met when I moved to Toronto told me that she was a model and that she thought that I could do well and asked me to come to an interview with her. So I did, and then I set up a profile on Model Mayhem and it kinda went from there.

What excites you about modeling?

I just love the endless possibilities, and I seem to be overflowing with ideas lately. I also love meeting everyone and seeing the things that we can create. I am usually surprised every time.

What are your favorite types of outfits to model in?

I really like skirts/dresses/heels/anything ripped up or rainbow as well.

What are your least favorites?

I don't like to do sports stuff or porn.

What kind of shoots would you like to work on in the future?

I really want to do more fantasy makeup and crazy hairstyles in the future. Calling all MUAs and hairstylists. I'd really love to model some clothing for new designers as well. Having my body painted is also a big one too.

I am interested in the following other types of work:

-Fantasy makeup (specifically: -butterfly eyes, elaborate false eyelashes. jewels. bright eyeshadow, rainbow anything, sparkle anything, glitter, shimmer, designs, neon, pastel, metallic lipstick and eyeshadow. being transformed into something cool.)

-Body Paint. (specifically: -anything pyschedelic, UV reactive, glow in the dark. flowers, tribal art. -Graffiti - Anything out of the ordinary but still visually appealing.)

-Aztec/Mayan Tribal Queen outfit/setting.

-Mermaid.

-Fairie/Pixie.

-I would love to collaborate with someone who could teach me fire dance and belly dance. I am already a dancer, but I taught myself over the last three years, and I'd love to learn from someone who actually knows what they are doing professionally. I don't want to burn myself or anything .

-On the altar of a church, implied, with awesome boots.

-A sexy "dead/zombie" shoot. Not too gross, still want it too look hot.

-An abandoned warehouse shoot with cool graffiti.

-I *love* awesome footwear & hats!!

-New clothing from awesome designers

-Would love to do something on the runway.

-Implied nude in studio, w/ couch with long dangling diamond earrings & silver stripper heels.

-Something w/ feathers.

-Something with fire!

Are there any other creative mediums you work in?

I am also a singer, dancer, writer, and artist (with pencil, and paint)

What kind of music do you like?

I like almost every kind of music you can think of, but my favourite genres are : Drum and Bass/Jungle, Electro, Hardcore, Grunge, Ska, Rock, Reggae, Industrial, Pystrance, & gotta love that Pop. Remember; if you take a good listen to most of the remixes you listen to in electronic music, they are in fact mixing pop songs! wink.

What do you like to do for fun?

I hang out with my friends a lot. I do a lot of traveling too, I spent the whole spring and summer, traveling and camping across Canada, which was a lot of fun. I go to a lot of music festivals, and small concerts at bars/small venues with my friends. I sometimes attend the occasional rave.

When I'm not going out though, I like to watch tv, listen to music and clean (not even kidding, I find it almost therapeutic for some reason.), dance, create, and go for walks on the beach, because it's so close to me. Stare at the mountains, lay in the sun. Random things.
