long lost questions

These were some of the questions that I didn't post earlier from the interview for a mini documentary [yep, they get kind of personal]

J.E.: Your sister recently made some comments about people criticizing you for being a stripper. How does that make you feel when someone calls you a stripper?
A: Honestly, I don't care what people call me. I've never really cared what people think of me except for a select few, but I've been comfortable enough with myself and at ease with myself enough to know who and what I am as a person. My sister did make some very true remarks though and she's right I don't do nudes that was my personal decision. Do I think some women make those comments to be insulting of course and actually I find it saddening how when a woman is confident enough in herself and sexuality we often resort to attempting to degrade her self worth. I honestly think a woman's sexuality is the one thing we are able to control in society it's more powerful than we all realise.

J.E.: What do you think is sexy?
A: I really think it is a matter of perception. I am more a logical sort of person so I love it when I meet a man who is able to get inside of my mind and make me think. I think intellect and a sense of humour is sexy and if I am attracted to man can guarantee he has something going on upstairs even if others may not realise it. But all women I think have their own view as to what makes them feel sexy or appealing and men have different views about what they find attractive. I like to view sexuality as wine some may like it sweet, or a little sour, stronger or softer it's all about taste, now what we view as "good" taste and "bad" taste is another debate.

J.E.: Do you think of yourself as sexy?
A: I do actually. I think to someone out there yes, and to myself yes I am. If one person who I am really into finds me sexy that is more than enough. I think a sense of humour is sexy and if you can make people laugh and feel great about themselves to me that is most attractive thing. I think being sexy is all about how you make that person feel.

J.E.: What are your thoughts about dating, relationships?
A: I am open to them most definitely. It is also hard because growing up in this industry it is very difficult to trust people some people will be your friend long enough to further themselves and the list can go on. Honestly, there is only person right now I would trust enough of the opposite sex, where I would feel completely comfortable around him and can just "get him" if that makes sense.

J.E.: Have you ever had a one night stand?
A: A lady doesn't kiss and tell. So yes or no not telling.

J.E.: Fair enough. Everyone does want to know if you're dating anyone now?
A: I plead the fifth on that one. It's just a very complicated situation right now because of circumstances which I prefer to keep private, but there is someone I care very deeply for yes and leaving it at that. I've just always been really private about my romantic life people may know there is someone but not all the details even though being a "public figure" we're still entitled to some privacy.

J.E.: Where would you go for a romantic getaway?
A: There are so many places I would love to go! It would just depend on my mood. I am a very random person and there have been days where I've been bored and just decided to book a trip someplace. It happens.

J.E: Favorite city to visit?
A: Toronto aka my second home. I also love L.A. There are so many different places that are so fascinating and so many different stories, I am a slight adventurous/adrenaline junkie not going to lie.

J.E.: Adrenaline junkie?
A: Yes. I actually bungee jumped once. It was such a rush.

J.E.: Now been hearing about this do you really skateboard?
A: I do! I love it just hoping to get better at roller skating.

J.E.: So what do you think about the Dita von Teese comparisons?
A: It adds pressure without a doubt. I honestly don't want to be the "next" version of anyone I just want to be the first version of myself. It is flattering when people say that or make those remarks and especially over this past summer when people tell me they see that potential. All I know is going to work hard every day and set small goals for myself. Not going into this with a big head because that is how most fall and I really do pray to remain humble every single day. I hope to never lose that. But Dita is amazing she is an icon for my generation at least.

J.E.: You also love fashion?
A: Yes, I adore fashion. My Mum was a professional runway model so I grew up around fashion; it was constantly around me. I always had a passion for fashion.

J.E.: Favorite designers?
A: Valentin Yudashkin, he is brilliant as is Yohji Yamamoto-love the raincoat series. There are so many amazing designers now it is so difficult to list them all, but yes I am definitely a fashion hound but I hate shopping I always find that ironic!
