You know, it was important for me to do something like that, because nobody ever really thought I could do anything except look sexy on a poster and go shopping.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I find the whole concept of being 'sexy' embarrassing and confusing. If I do a photo-shoot, people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there's the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that's not me.
I think the important part is picking clothes that are flattering to your figure, and obviously I want a big say in what I was going to wear, 'cause it's still me that's out there.
I don't know what a world would be like if you do away with sexy images.
I just don't like showing everything I've got. I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard to be sexy.
Painting self-portraits without clothes on has also given me some publicity.
I've always loved to dress up a bit and show off.
No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.
I'm not somebody who likes to show off my cleavage, and I don't dress up for the papers.
I decided to do everything around fashion but fashion itself, and that's accessories.
I didn't try and do fashion pictures. I tried to do portraits of girls wearing dresses.
