QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS:
@Adam_Bovary asked How did you get your SG name? Being of German heritage, do you like beer?
My real name is Heloisa and, since I was a kid, my nickname is Hilo (pronounced "heelu" :P) Yes, I drink beer A LOT!
~
@Acuarian asked What are your hobbies?
I like to research shit posting on internet, things to print, I love porn, I watch tv shows, love cinema, and meet new bars!
~
@Lioncourt asked How/when did you started your career as a photographer?
It has been 10 years really, a long time ago! I started photographing parties and then babies, pregnant people, birthday parties. I was quite insecure about starting on SG (imposter syndrome is real!). I always give the advice: "If you want to do something, do it!"
@Angelus asked Do you prefer modeling or photography?
I prefer photography. Of course, after all these years,I know how to pose and show my body, but there is always an exposed feeling in every picture I take as a model. Its just my insecurities speaking too loud. As a photographer, I feel more confident. I love to make models feel comfortable and have fun in the shoot. I love the way people see each other in the camera, and sometimes they just can't believe they are so beautiful; it's something I really love.
@Brubs asked [Have] you already [had any other] hair colors?
Yes, I was blonde when I was 15 years old but I [did it] all by myself at home so my hair was looking like shit! And I had black hair too, for like 5 years! I have had this hair colour (red) for too long; it's about to change!
@Romous117 asked What is your biggest dream in life?
This is an old dream in my mind, that it's almost a need: travel the world.
~
@Gabrieli asked What's your biggest motivation?
The thing that makes me wake up in the morning everyday is being a better human being. Be better than yesterday.
@Gabbymoon asked Since you did cosplay sets before, what are some of your favorite comic books and also a favorite super hero?
Well this is something I met too late in my life, but my favorite is Watchmen and that is why I made the Silk Spectre cosplay. And Valentina by Guido Crepax. It's not a super hero, but it's awesome.
My favorite superhero is Jessica Jones. She is depressed, but she always does the right thing.
~
@Kingofcool asked Which cosplay character that you haven't done that you would like to do next?
If you [don't] want spoilers it's better [not to] read this because my next cosplay set for SG is in the queue already, and it's Lady Loki - not Silvie, just a Loki girl. Hope you guys like it; it's amazing. I think I have never been so good with my body as I am on this set.
QUESTIONS FROM SUICIDEGIRLS:
How were you first introduced to SuicideGirls?
Long time ago, when I was young I saw some girls on Fotolog, and then I found SG.
~
Where do you find inspiration?
Great photographers as Helmut Newton, Bettie Page was a great personality too, Tempest Storm and Bunny Yaeger. It's difficult to say how I find inspiration; it depends of the inspiration! I like to create content daily based in models and photographers around the world.
~
What impact has your culture / identity had on your modeling journey?
I believe in the beginning, redesign the image of myself. I still think I am not pretty enough, but I am much better than 5 years ago. Now I see myself as a model, a content creator and a photographer, and this is who I am now.
What is your favorite form of self expression?
I like to create things that will be inspiring someone. If it's something creative, planned and someone will like it, it's a way to express myself.
What is your favorite form of self-care OR what is your self-care routine?
I try to do skincare every day; cleaning my face for more than 1 minute at day is on my routine. Go to the gym always that I can; I am not going as I should, but I do my best. Eating well is something that I am glad when I do. I love pizza, but I feel better when I eat vegetables.
~
What part of your beauty routine makes you feel most confident?
Working out. I really hate to go to the gym, but when I finish it's so good!
What impact has SG had in discovering yourself as a person and a model?
That is a good question. Sometimes, I don't know what I should be doing if SG does not exist in my life. It's a very important thing in my life and I am very grateful for it. I am not repressing my sexuality, I love to show myself, and I hate to be just one more person in an office. So, SG changed my life for better.
Share a memorable experience from your point of view as an alternative model in your ______ community
7 years ago, people around me was looking at me with curiosity. They didn't know what I was doing when I started to be a model, and people are talking a lot about it. Today, I know somehow I had inspired at least one girl, and this is a memorable experience to me.
~
Is there anything else you want to share about your ____ community?
I wish SG this year become more inspirational <3 -- @hilo
