Q. How and why did you get into alt modelling? Who are your heroes or your inspiration? It just sort of happened! I heard about this website called Entity and figured I would join for fun. I put up a few pictures and soon enough Steve Locke sent me a message asking if Id like to set up a shoot with him sometime. I decided modeling would be good for me because Ive always had self-esteem and confidence issues. It really made me feel great...
Q. How and why did you get into alt modelling? Who are your heroes or your inspiration? I never aspired to be a model and just like so many others, I assumed not to even be able to cause of lacking an inch or two and having a very feminine figure. Eventually I learned about the "alternative" side of modeling and how broad and networked industry it actually was. It certainly piqued my curiosity. My final decision to give it a try I made after...

Q. How and why did you get into alt modelling? Who are your heroes or your inspiration? I got into alternative modeling because I really like the message and beauty about it all and how alt modeling comes with people of all shapes and sized and doesn't discriminate your beauty in any way. My biggest inspirations would probably be Betty Page, Dita Von Teese and Metal Sanaz is pretty rad! My hero overall though, would definitely have to be...
Q. How and why did you get into alt modelling? Who are your heroes or your inspiration? I got into alt modelling several years ago. I never wanted to be a model. Just like a lot of people, I thought 'models' were the tall-and-thin ones who work for big names such as Armani or CK and that are just about perfect. I just started taking pictures. I've been inspired by books, mostly. Fairytales and the underground have been the biggest source of...
Q. How and why did you get into alt modelling? Who are your heroes or your inspiration? I got into Alt Modelling via my love for vintage fashion and pinup icons - as my wardrobe grew with vintage-inspired clothing; a friend who also happened to be a photographer invited me to shoot with her - and I ended up with my first portfolio shoot. I met Paula Delley (Melbourne, Australia), an awesome pinup photographer at a Kustom Kulture Weekender,...

I got in to it by accident really, I was working as an artists subject at a local tattoo convention earlier this year and was approached by an amateur photographer who said he liked my look and wondered if he could arrange to take some photos of me some time. I was a bit suspicious at first as nobody had ever said anything like that before, and had no...

It's more of who i am. I don't have to cover up any of my work or worry about certain outfits that i can and can't wear because of...
Q. How and why did you get into alt modelling? Who are your heroes or your inspiration? I started out just plain modeling, only because I was too young to really be tattoo'd or pierced. As I kept modeling, and my interest in body modifications grew I became alternative in the sense of being modified. Q. How long have you been an alt model? Since I decided to start modeling! I've technically always been alternative however, considering I'm...
