What inspired you to become a SuicideGirl?
"Hell City Tattoo Fest introduced me to SuicideGirls. I’ve literally dreamt about being apart of this community for years. All the love and body positivity is everything I needed in life."
How did you come up with your SG name?
"My modeling alias has been Virginia Slim since I started. I chose the name because it was considered a “feminine” brand and the logo that caught me was, “You’ve come a long way baby”. (And for the record, no I do not smoke them) For SG we shortened it up to Virginia.:
How did you start modeling?
"I found that trying out for the “Hell City Hotties” I needed a modeling portfolio, so I created an Instagram and started following other models and finding photographers I wanted to work with and I continued building from there."
Tell us about your experience shooting your SOTD!
"First experience was shooting with the amazing @sobelle. I had never gone from fully dressed to fully nude (without being implied) but she made me feel totally comfortable, liberated and sexy. I grew to love the skin I was in and playing with a ton of expressions and poses made me appreciate each quirky and fabulous things about myself that make me uniquely ‘me’. I had to go back for round two which landed us my first SOTD.
Second SOTD I landed shooting @sunshine. My LOVE. So genuine and fun, we actually first met kayaking and shot from there. Each moment with her was absolutely amazing and I definitely look forward to future shoots. Not just with both of these amazing ladies but with different photographers and models within the community that I’ve been dying to shoot with as well."
How many tattoos do you have? Tell us about them.
"I would say ten but they’re all mostly large pieces. My first tattoo says family with an infinity cross on the back of my neck. I got that when I was 16 in Miami. My mom co signed for me and the iris is her favorite flower (her first tattoo she had was an Iris on the back of her shoulder) I have “if you scatter thorns don’t go barefoot” on my foot with a rose. Greek proverb for how I put it, (don’t fuck yourself over) I have a portrait or Marilyn Monroe because her face was worth over 1,0000 words. I have Buddha with a lotus flower (my favorite) I have a roulette table with playing cards and mirroring the image I have Sharon Stone as “Ginger” from the movie Casino. My full back is a lion with a ruby gemstone in its mouth, with peonies coming up both sides. (My daughter is a Leo and her name is Ruby) and last but not least, I have a quote from Hellen Keller, “life is a succession of lessons that must be lived before they are understood” with a daisy (my favorite flower)."
What did you do to celebrate your first SOTD?
"Bought myself a pair of pink thigh high patent leather boots."
