- I ASKED, AND SHE ANSWERED.
- So, where are you originally from?
- I am originally from Connecticut. I lived in Manchester and then East Hampton.
- What was it like growing up there? Diverse?
- Growing up in CT was kind of exciting, especially living in a small town where you know everyone’s secrets. Even though you can’t stand a person, you still have to somewhat think of a way to be civil with them because it’s such a small town,that every party you attend to, you might see them haha. Love and hate relationship, hmm well since it was a small town you would see a lot of people dating each other, then later on you find out your friend is dating that person you were dating a year ago lol.
- What type of girl were you in high school?
- hmm, I would say that I was very outgoing. I loved to talk and I remember always getting in trouble for talking in class haha. I was also always dancing, so every time we had a talent show I made sure I did.
- What type of dancing do you enjoy most? And where can we find a video of you in action?
- I love hip hop! I’m usually good at freestyling. I had a video up on youtube and myspace but it’s takes forever to upload them! Hopefully i get a faster laptop soon haha.
- So, how exactly did you come to enter the modeling world? A friend? On your own accord?
- I did it for myself. I always wanted to do something in the entertainment field. Everyone in my family is very career driven in the business,hospitality, medical field and I wanted to be different.
- Are you in school now? If so, where?
- I used to attend Central Connecticut State University, but right now I am taking a break to stay focused.
- Modeling aside, how do you pay the bills?
- Work! We’re just like normal people. Most entertainers don’t roll deep like Diddy or Mariah haha. If it wasn’t for me moving to NYC, I don’t think I will ever learned to be independent. Back home I used to get my apartment and my car bills paid for, now I’m on my own and it feels great! I work very hard everyday and make sure I still have time to take dance classes,acting classes and voice lessons. It’s almost like going to school full time and working.
- What is it that you hope to achieve in the next 4-5 years. Gimme a realistic goal.
- I want to be a better entertainer and a better person.
- Free time. What do you do with it? What’re some of your favorite hobbies?
- I love to hang out with friends. Traveling and going out to nice restaurant. And of course shopping!
- Do you watch any sports?
- No :( only if I’m over my guy friends’ house
- Favorite dish at your favorite restaurant.
- SUSHI
- Who influences your style in particular? Is there anybody you’ve particularly idolized?
- I love Lady Gaga, but I wouldn’t say that she influenced my style. I kind of just play around with it.
- Gimme a song you can’t stop wrockin’ to right now.
- Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind
- What’s your take on porn?
- If people want to watch porn they should whatever they want, but don’t over do it and be a pornatic and have your history browser covered with youporn.
- What brings that wild-side out of you?
- The Right GUY
- How do you like your men dressed? (Suits and ties? Rugged? Street/urban?)
- I love them simple, none of that gelled out hair, tan and Armani Exchange crap. Don’t get me wrong maybe once in a while a nice outfit to go out in would be nice, but for an everyday thing I love it when a guy can just rock out wearing a nice tee and jeans. To me it, it’s sexier and shows more confidence.
- What qualities do you find attractive in men, even though you should NOT?
- I love a man’s smile. The way he carries himself. I love a humble guy!
- Every girl has a dream man, but in your past what have you been known to gravitate toward and/or have dated?
- Talented guys, or the simple jock. Both!
- In command, or being commanded?
- lways in Command :)
