Describe yourself in three words  

Brilliant, sexy, and funny.

Were you excited to shoot for Playboy?

Of course! Playboy is the top magazine in this genre, in the entire world. It’s a huge honour to be part of such an iconic publication.

What was it like starting out as a model?

There were no protections for young models, like there are now. So, I’ve seen the whole gamut of modelling issues. From creepy photographers, eating disorders, drugs, and people who didn’t hold up their end of the deal in every way possible, but I’ve had to endure it. However, I also got to be around fantastic and creative people, make money that paid for both of my degrees, travel and learn a great deal about fashion and beauty, as well as enjoy a life that’s been made far more interesting by modelling. So, like other choices, it’s been a mixed bag. It was harder when I was starting out, but I’ve become better and smarter over the years.
