- Are you a tomboy:
- I used to be, I like to think I still am
- Favorite photographer:
- Too many, there are a lot whom i admire for different, individual traits . it will be impossible (and narrow-minded) to commit to just one photographer, i like to keep my eyes open and also look at work from new up and comers. its a mix of the classic icons and the new generation who is pushing the bar.
- Favorite supermodel:

- New York: I lived there for 6 magical months, it took me 2 to fall in love, and the other 4 to flame my obsession. I haven't been able to bond with Paris in the same way yet
- Something that everyone should know about you:
- I have been asked this question more often in interviews and everytime i struggle with it. in a way its too presumptuous for me to answer, and anything that i would say will just show how important it is for me to have people think i am either intelligent, funny, socially/politically aware or just dying to make a bold statement (such as, 'there is no god') .. and they will not get to know me, but just the projection of me that i want to put out there for the world to believe. it is all empty and meaningless. i am not intelligent, funny, socially or politically aware and i dont give a crap about bold statements
