What inspired you to become a SuicideGirl?
"SuicideGirls, to me, have always been the most beautiful, cool, inspirational group of models I'd ever seen, so to become part of that group was an absolute dream that I never expected would come true. Pretty much as soon as I started modelling I knew SuicideGirls is where I wanted to be."
How did you start modeling?
"I wanted to be a model since I was a teenager but never had the confidence to think it would be possible, so I ended up pursuing my other love which is photography. After I moved to Mexico a photographer friend asked me to step in on a shoot for him because they we're down a model and I fit the clothes. He posted the photos on Instagram and things just kind of took off after that. I kept getting booked more and more, trying out different types of shoots, fell in love with lingerie/boudoir/pinup style modelling, and haven't looked back."
Tell us about your favorite group on SuicideGirls!
"I probably find myself spending the most time in the Foot Fetish group, which I didn't expect, but I found it to be such a fun, welcoming little community that I just really enjoyed taking part. I also love Hirsute and Sex Talk. In general I find that the more kind of niche groups and threads have the best, most loyal communities. The groups are definitely one of my favourite features on SuicideGirls."
What's your favorite part of being a SuicideGirl?
"I've absolutely loved connecting with the other girls and members, and feeling part of a community. I was nervous initially because I didn't know what to expect, but everyone has been so kind and welcoming. It's so nice hearing people's feedback on my sets, getting to know like-minded people in the groups, and seeing the other gorgeous girls."
Tell us 3 interesting facts about you.
"I love sharks, and I have a list of my top 10 favourite species. I can't roll my r's, no matter how much I practice. When I can't sleep I like to try to recite all the countries in Africa as fast as I can."
How do you relieve stress?
"Breathing exercises, yoga, aromatherapy, and an orgasm."
What's one assumption others make about you that you wish you could dispel?
'I've been told in the past that I seem intimidating, but I think I'm so soft, friendly, and wholesome."
If you could have one superpower, what would you choose and why?
"To speak every language (including being able to communicate with animals) because I've tried studying a bunch of languages and it's taking me forever, but I'd love to be able to communicate and build connections with anyone and everyone I meet."
What are you favorite animals?
"Sharks, bats, pigs, cows, hedgehogs, bears, bees, spiders... there's so many. My lifelong dream is to run a vegan animal sanctuary and rehabilitation center as a safe haven for animals liberated from the agriculture industry, stray dogs and cats, and rescued wild or exotic pets.. basically all animals are welcome."
Tell us about your favorite images you've shot.
"I'm a travel photographer so I've been very lucky to be able to witness and capture lots of amazing things but my favourite image of all time is one that I shot in the countryside of Japan. It's a portrait of my friend's young daughter and every time I look at it I remember the wonderful experience I had that summer in that tiny little village surrounded by tea fields and the smell of rain."
"I feel so honored and excited to have my first set become SOTD, thank you for all the support and nice messages, it's made this whole experience even grater than I imagined. What a wonderful community to be part of." - @kayleski
