A: Left handed :)

Q: If you could travel to any place in time where would you go?

Q: What are your favorite subjects?

Q: Do you speak any other languages besides English?
A: Yes. I grew up speaking French and knowing Russian. I can speak Spanish and able to read Serbian/Ukrainian.

Q: What nationality are you?
A: My Dad was Ukrainian and my Mum was Native American [Choctaw Cherokee]

Q: Where is your family from?
A: on my Dad's side they were from Dnipropetrovsk [Ukraine] my cousins actually lived there until they were almost 10 yrs old, my older sisters were all born in Europe and still live there so safe to say most of my family is in Europe still in different places.

Q: Are you really scared to fly and claustrophobic?
A: Yes to both :(

Q: Favorite color?

Q: Do you have any pets?

Q: Do you have a boyfriend?
A: I always get asked this!! There is someone I am totally into and if he asked me out on a date I would definitely go out with him and will leave it at that ;)

Q: Who is it?
A: Those who know me or around me enough sure can figure it out....

Q:  Do you get hate or haters a lot?
A: You know I'm sure every performer does at some point and I try not to let it bother me...but yea I do for various reasons. I almost walked away recently from performing but thought no they would win so keep on going just inspires me even more to continue and to be even better.

Q: You get criticized a lot for being a burlesque dancer and not doing nudes, why?
A: It's hard to say. I mean I made that decision prior and it was a personal choice. I'd been modeling since I was 14 and never did nudes. I may be old fashioned but I just want my future boyfriend to only see the full show it's just me.

Q: Is it hard knowing your Godfather is an Eastern Orthodox priest and how conservative your family is and being a burlesque dancer?
A: Yea, it is. Although my Mum was a professional runway model and musician so I grew up in this world so to speak. But at the same time my parents kind of sheltered me a lot even though and think it was to keep us [my sisters and brother] balanced and not go from one extreme to the other.

Q: Do you have a facebook?
A: Yes, I have a personal facebook account which mostly for family, but do have a FB page where people can "like" it's brand spanking new LOL.I need to add more to it though, yea people have been asking I do have a main official twitter account and a personal one but I prefer to keep that one private.

Q: How do you feel about the Dita von Teese comparisons?
A: It can be a lot of pressure but I also feel like there can only be one Dita...just like I can only be Natalie. I do look up to her loads she is one of my idols and she's so classy and talented.

Q: What is your favorite song?
A: It has been this for a while now but Take You
Q: What is your favorite number to perform?
A: Yellow Raincoat. Because I can relate to that song the most I tend to be guarded which isn't intentional just don't really trust a lot of people so can very much relate to that.
