Growing up in Sin City, she was a sucker for metal (some things never change). High school wasn’t for her so she went to model school and then her world changed – forever – when she worked with Inez & Vinoodh.

Radical is…
Taking the risk of being boring.

Favourite rebel?
My dad, for always following his heart with no apologies.

What’s your type?
Make me laugh, and most important, must love METAL!

Growing up in Vegas…
Not so out of the ordinary as one may think. Besides being able to basically gamble anywhere … Washing the car, buying groceries, the airport, that’s all maybe a little unusual. My mum was a showgirl, so I guess you can say that definitely took the daughter dressing up in her mother’s clothes and makeup to another level. Hello rhinestone! Private magic shows for my sisters and I from her boss, David Copperfield. Other than that, totally normal!

Hidden secret of Vegas…
Omelet House! Hole in the Wall off the Las Vegas strip, favourite restaurant ever!

Greatest travel adventure…
I don’t think I’ll ever forget Greenland, wearing a chiffon dress, lounging on an iceberg that we had got to by way of helicopter. Just another day in the office! Amazing unforgettable experience … And NEVER again!

Most exciting place right now is…
Bed! 


My favourite non-traditional beauty products are …
Cod liver oil capsules, I’m sure they have many health benefits, but makeup artists usually ask what I use on my skin after I’ve taken my fish oil the previous night.

My style icon is…
Olivia Newton John when she turns super sexy cool at the end of Grease.

Right now, I’m obsessed with…
The band Hot Snakes, Coen brothers’ films, San Francisco, hanging with my nephews, Pinot Noir, and am forever obsessed with life, breathing, laughing.

Growing up I wanted to be…
A paediatric oncologist.

I’m not ashamed to admit…
I have many regrets, but each and every regret has been a lesson learnt. I’d like to believe they only made me stronger and the person I am today.

I am surprised by…
Not much these days! A tattoo-free body? I’m very boring I know.

I was spotted at…
Well, much of my family thought I’d make a good model, my sister took me to a small modelling school in Vegas. They tried to get every last dime out of us for ridiculous classes, like learn how to walk on a runway, put makeup on, whatever they try and make you believe you’ll need as a model, luckily we were far too smart and broke to fall for any of that! A scout did somehow come across a Polaroid of me from that ‘school’ and the rest is history.

To unwind I…
Curl up and watch a movie, drive to Vegas from LA blasting music, hang with my family, YouTube live music.

First impressions are… Subject to change.

Right now I’m listening to… Hot Snakes, Jaguar, Status Quo, Soft Cell.

I couldn’t live without…
My family.

Last film I watched…
Take Shelter.

My pin-up boy…
My teenage obsession was Marilyn Manson, not sure what that says about me.

When it comes to beauty, I…
Believe in keeping the skin moisturised all the time. I use an eye and lip balm stick called Skin by Ann Webb, when I wake up, before bed, on the plane … I’m constantly paying extra attention around my eyes and mouth. I’ve never had a facial in my life; I think my skin gets messed with enough from work. Rest, moisturise, and fish oil – a very simple approach.

Not many people know that I…
Don’t Twitter or Facebook.

When I see myself on screen I’m thinking…
Yikes!

My biggest indulgence in life is…
Love.

My favourite people in fashion…
Wow, I love them all! Every new person everyday is what makes my job so exciting, I never know what to expect when I show up at the studio because it’s always a different combination of personalities. With that said, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Inez & Vinoodh. When I started working with them, it opened up a whole new world to me, how empowering it could be in front of that camera, becoming new characters. They really encourage the strong, sexy, confident side out of every girl they work with, and I try my best to take that side to most jobs!

My wardrobe consists of…
Denim and leather ... Always!

I’m looking forward to…
What’s next.

I never thought I would…
Drive by the Eiffel Tower the amount of times I do! Never take that for granted.

The best advice I was ever given…
Follow your heart (which I never do). I tend to follow bad advice!

Best story I’ve ever heard would have to be…
One of my dad’s crazy stories from his early days in Vegas!

Right now I really want to…
Live in the moment and nowhere else.
