How did you come up with your SG name?

I used to make my family call me 'princess of diamonds'.... i know, i know, Cringe! Then once I started my pinup modelling career I needed a name... so I created Diamond Divine. Needing a new name to separate my more naughty stuff I used my Austrian heritage and changed it to Diamant!

What inspired you to become a SuicideGirl?

I looked up to SG for so many years, but never ever thought I could model for the site. After a few years of modelling and working on myself and my confidence, and seeing Galdalou rock it on the site... I just had to! And I am so very glad I have!

How did you hear about SG?

My friend needed someone to practice his photography with and asked me. I then got asked to do a runway for a small corset company. I fell in love with it and was thankful enough to find some amazing photographers to work with for fine art, pinup and art nude. It was an adventure!

Tell us about your experience shooting your SOTD!

“Witch Please” was a big set, I made a bunch of props beforehand. Little jars of ingredients where I had to make the labels and burn the edges, sourcing the bats to stick on the wall, my cute broom and the perfect outfit! Setting up the area for the set was so fun! Sticking the bats to the wall and laying out my witchy goodness... just remembering it gives me such a big smile. Shooting with @milkydame always creates such magic, so this set being all magic themed was just perfect.

Tell us three interesting facts about you.

I can weld and used to build cars with my ex.I can read a book in a day if its a good book. I'm pretty handy and building flat packs is one of my favourite things

If you had a warning label, what would it say?

Hmmmm.... "Careful... brattiness incoming"

Share a skill or hobby you're passionate about with us!

I build my Datsun 1300 ute with my ex. I wanted roof racks for her so I designed and made them myself. They are a fun diamond design, and I am pretty darn happy with them! Welding is so interesting! #weldporn is one of my favourite hashtags to search

How do you relieve stress?

First I make sure that I focus on the task, and I make a ritual out of making a cup of tea... usually something like a French earl grey. I do this while the bath is filling up. Into the bath goes my own salt mix with dried lavender and lavender oil, as well as milk to help smooth my skin.

I light some candles, sink into the bath and sip my delicious tea. I really focus on the smells, the textures, because I find that helps focus and calm my mind. Sometimes I will read, sometimes i'll put music on

What would you like to accomplish in the next few years?

I want to complete my advanced diploma of dermal science and go on to do laser tattoo removal. It's been a dream of mine since I worked at a tattoo studio years ago, and now I'm working towards it!

What's your dream job?

Model - yay i'm doing it! But also laser tattoo removal. So thankfully hopefully in a year or so I can say I am doing both of my dream jobs!

What is one thing you will never do again?

Fall down seven stairs.. not that i did it on purpose! But I really am clumsy, and it was not a good time trying to heal from that. Truthfully I need to be wrapped in bubblewrap

What's your favorite phrase in another language?

'Du bist ein esel ficker' - You are an ass fucker. A German dude taught me this when my friend and I were still in highschool. I love the german language, and enjoy yelling this at friends.

If you could meet anyone from the past or present, who would it be and what would you ask them?

Freddie Mercury!! Honestly he was such a kind and amazing human, so interesting!! I would just love to sit there and hear his thoughts on the world.

What are three things you think everyone should know how to do?

Change a tire on a car, and do basic checks of oil, water etc. Know how to cook basic foods. Basic first aid.

What are your favorite things to do on a rainy day?

I love sitting outside with a book and a cup of tea (under a blanket if its a cold rainy day) and just sit and listen to nature and the water falling.

Tell us about your side hustle or day job!

My day job/hustle is starting a beauty business, which is a rather silly idea to do during a pandemic.

Tell us about some of the happiest moments in your life.

I would have to say my three happiest moments are meeting all three of my nephews! They mean the absolute world to me, and I would literally do anything for them. They are my little loves.

Tell us about a time when you won a contest or prize!

Well, I've won a few! I used to do pinup pageants and have placed in a few and won one of them! I randomly have a crown in my room, and my sash for winning somewhere.

They were a lot of fun, and I got to meet some amazing people... but i NEVER thought I would win one!

What's your favorite holiday and why?

My favourite holiday was kind of a working holiday. SG shootfest in Pearl Beach NSW. I met and shot with @penny, got to hang more with my aussie babes, and hand fed some Kookaburra on our last day there. It was truly magical.

So many memories from there, from taking behind the scenes shots of @kettle, to running to a room with @dolly and just hanging out in a quiet space for a while... until it got invaded with babes, haha.

If you could have one superpower, what would you choose!

I would love to be able to teleport. Imagine all the babes I would finally get to meet then! My pals are sad? *poof* teleport to them!!! I would save so much time and money on plane tickets and all that jazz!

What is something you wish you'd learned sooner?

I wish I learned that I am responsible for my happiness, and I don't need to be in a relationship for that happiness.

What's on your bucket list?

I am TERRIFIED but I want to jump out of a plane one day. I'm afraid of heights, so it should be fun hah..

What's your confidence boosting secret weapon?

Do photoshoots!!! Honestly my confidence has come from modeling. You get to see yourself through someone else's eyes. Things you may dislike about yourself is bound to be someone else's favorite thing about you.

What do you want to be remembered for?

I want to be remembered for my kindness, and my glorious booty!!

SG Community - Thank you so so much for all of your support for this curvy gal! It means a lot! The connections I've made on the site, your feedback, and kind words mean the world to me - @diamant
