How did you start modeling?
I had been following some amazing art and alt models for some time on DeviantArt and, again, my friends encouraged me to give it a try. I started as a art nude model before I came to SG.
What inspired you to become a SuicideGirl?
Encouragement from friends. I knew of SG for a long time and I always loved the look and creativity of sets, but I never even thought to go for it myself. It's amazing what a little encouragement can help you achieve sometimes. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
How did you come up with your SG name?
I let members choose when it came time to change it because people were always confused by my Hopeful name - "shesuseless". The name Evoke has really stuck with me and I like that the SG community came up with it.
How did you hear about SuicideGirls?
A bit of internet magic and a bit of word-of-mouth. The name had been floating around on the internet for some time, people just knew of SuicideGirls. Eventually I did a search and fell in love with the alt style.
Tell us about your experience shooting your SOTD!
"Breaking A Sweat" is still my most popular SG set and this makes me endlessly happy because this set was actually a total accident. It was never shot with the intention of making it a SG set. It wasn't until I was selecting photos for Jase to edit that I realized we had an awesome set in our hands!
Tell us about your favorite group on SuicideGirls!
My favourite group is SuicideBoys. I have a lot of fun browsing the threads. Y'all are wonderful!
Who are your favorite members?
Oh boy... @Zen_lapis, @Semorising, @Neoinwonderland and anyone else who gives me a bit of their time almost daily to chat and hang out. Shoutout to @Emanuel (first to pop up in new sets, blog post comments and streams, always!) @Lorenzito, @Kingofcool, @Metalfreak, @Immutable, @Drd2166 and @Bronsonquick for supporting my sets for quite a long time. ❤️
Do you have plans to shoot your next set?
No plans just yet. I'm traveling overseas and I'm waiting for the right time and location for inspiration to strike!
Tell us three interesting facts about you.
I grew up riding horses. I can cartwheel. My favourite song is Change (in the house of flies) by Deftones.
How do you relieve stress?
I lift some weights, go for a walk, find some grass to walk on or an animal to pet. Then have a nice long shower.
Tell us about your favorite hangout spot.
Somewhere in the bush, in the shade of a tree, enjoying the earthy scents, sounds of the birds and a nearby stream. Preferably with a camera in my hand.
What are you afraid of?
Zombies and heights.
Who is your hero?
All Might. 😆
Tell us about your first job!
I was 15 and I worked in a local supermarket at the deli. The job itself wasn't terrible but no one showed me what to do or how things worked and then they'd yell at me when I didn't do it right. Not the best first experience. Haha!
What fictional character would you like to meet in real life?
Geralt of Rivia and Lestat de Lioncourt.
What were your favorite video games as a kid?
Jazz Jack Rabbit and Croc.
Tell us about your first kiss!
My first kiss was on a couch in a spare bedroom I was using as a gaming room. I was very shy, so the guy's approach was kind of like, "Surprise, we're gonna kiss now!" 😆 I had a huge crush on him and an idea of what to do, but oh gosh I was not mentally prepared at all. A cringey memory, but not a terrible one.
What is the most amazing/hilarious/disastrous romantic gesture you have ever pulled off, witnessed, or been the subject of?
My best friend's partner proposed to her with an Akubra hat and she said yes. Bit different, but it worked!
What is your dream vacation?
I've always wanted to go to Japan and spend at least a month or two exploring around rural areas.
Best for advice for dealing with haters?
Get angry if you have to, your emotion is valid. But deal with haters when you're not so mad, it makes all the difference as to how the situation will unfold or escalate. Also, block them if they're being an ass for no reason - you don't need to deal with that.
I want thank those of you who take the time to chat with me on stream, comment and like my blog posts and sets, give me shoutouts on your own blog or tag me in fun threads. Your support and efforts are always appreciated! xo - @evoke
