Q: Explain again what is your heritage?
A: my Dad was Ukrainian and my Mum was Native American Choctaw/Cherokee
Q: What type of modeling do you do?
A: I am a promotional model for various companies and a pin up model. I am also a burlesque performer...shhhh....LOL!
Q: Have you been published?
A: Yes. I have had articles published and been in a calendar as well it is still surreal to me about it though.
Q: Do you consider yourself a "local" celebrity?
A: No, although some say that I am. It is weird when people do come up to me and even recently had someone ask me for an autograph...not used to that at all!!! So yea, when people recognize me it is weird to me because I still see myself as a girl just enjoying life.
Q: But you had relatively famous parents?
A: Yes, but I [and my sisters/brother] were all so sheltered. I think my parents wanted us to be "normal" especially with me when I started modeling at 14 they were so protective.
Q: How did you come about pin up modeling?
A: I've always loved anything vintage. I've done editorial and some high fashion but I just love pin up the most. It's fun, quirky much like my own personality it just suits me more I think.
Q: Which models have you worked with?
A: Well, I did work with one who is a relatively known editorial/high fashion model [and for Maxim] who ended up becoming one of my best friends! We met at a casting of all places haha. We just became fast friends she has since retired from modeling but yea she's my girl!!
Q: Who is your favorite model?
A: right now Arizona Muse. I just love her!! Models aren't the same as when I was younger and it wasn't that long ago. I mean no offense but the models like Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum don't exist anymore it seems. They are personalities and just not too keen on the newer ones.
Q: How many tattoos do you have?
A: I have 9 tattoos haha. I am planning a few more one in tribute to my big brother who was killed in a car accident last month. But yes, I feel tattoos at least in my experience mark different aspects of my life significant moments.
Q: What are your tattoos?
A: I don't always talk about my tattoos and what they are. But my favourite is the one on my back. It's in tribute to my family.
Q: Why don't you talk about your tattoos?
A: When I got my very first tattoo there was so much controversy over it, like literally. People were even protesting to have me ex communicated from the Eastern Orthodox Church over it; I feel it is my body, my choices no one else's and if I decide to get a tattoo that should be my personal experience. Going through that ordeal was hard and I don't talk about them because people judge so much anymore. But hey, I have learned cannot make everyone happy and if I decide it it's on me...no one else so people can just live with it....
Q: Why don't you like the media/paparazzi?
A: It isn't all media just I remember when my parents died and there was so much going on. I just felt like why can't my family just grieve in peace? I remember all the news articles about my Dad etc and I just wanted to go somewhere and hide. People need privacy and I could walk into a room and say I like green peas and people will make that into a drug reference. So, think that is one reason I am so private even now. Another reason too is I grew up knowing my parents one way and after they died learning via the media things about their lives just really threw a different aspect on how I see people. Sure, no one is perfect you know? But yea it isn't the media as a whole...but will admit too that my friends and I do make fun of the paparazzi quite a bit though.
