I consider myself to be me sized. I'm not really concerned by sizing labels, especially considering how every brand is different. I've been featured as a plus sized model before, and I've done shoots for "regular" sizes too.

This year? Three. I went to Iceland this spring for my honeymoon, and then through England and France this summer.
In total? 14 countries over three continents, and I lived in South Africa for about six months when I was 18.
I love to explore new places and see just how different and how similar people are in them. -
I always read magazines back to front, and I like to tear out all the double-sided ads. I'm not really sure why. It's kind of a compulsion but it gives me lots of joy.
-
Yes!
I am extremely unpunctual, even when I plan for being early.
It's in my blood. My mother's family motto is Sero Sed Serio, which means "Late, but in Earnest." -
I get asked this all the time. The short answer is, put the fire in your mouth and close your mouth. Don't breathe in, unless you want fiery lungs.
The longer answer is, it requires a lot of breath control. You can't breathe in, and you don't really breathe out unless you're doing a specific trick. Yoga really helped prepare me for the breathing involved. It's very specific, and if you screw up, well, you won't be doing it for very long. -
My paternal grandfather passed away when I was five. I knew what death was in the plainest sense or someone going away and never coming back, but that is a hard concept for a five year old. My parents were both extremely grief stricken. I remember my one year old brother, who would crawl around and around and around my grandpa's chair, waiting for him. I remember hiding in a bush with my little sister before the funeral, confused at all these adults and why they were so, so sad.

Um, depends on the context. At a show, all the time, but that's what they're paying for. In real life, occasionally, but most are gentlemanly about it, and I appreciate them too, so I'm not too worried.

The sadly defunct Jane Magazine. I loved their sassy attitude and fun perspective.

I have model mayhem and myspace, but don't really use either. -
Haha, well if you mean focus and breath-wise, then maybe yes. If you mean one armed handstand, then no. The physicalities I'm always working through. My flexibility is greater than my strength, which is in itself a strength and a challenge. It constantly challenges me in new ways.
My favorite asana changes, but right now I'm rather smitten with Dandayamana Dhanurasana (standing bow pulling pose) It's deceptively complex and really opens the chest, spine and works on strength and balance. http://www.bikram-yoga-noosa-australia.com/Dandayamana-Dhanurasana.htm -
Yes I do! My left upper arm seems so lonely with no ink on it. I have plans to turn it into a sort of nature box with some of my favorite things like tea, a bit of lace, very girly and soft.
-
My biggest fear is to stay stagnant, to stop evolving and growing. It helps drive me to discover new things, but sometimes it hampers me from really digging into what I already know and have.
-
I do not, and probably won't get one. Too many social media apps as it is! Thanks for the ask though.
-
Thrifting mostly. I have a running list of songs I'd love to perform to, but to actually put a piece togther usually starts with a piece of clothing, maybe just a hairpiece, but something that sparks a story for me, so older things, things that have histories and story already, really grab me.
-
a tea party in my backyard with Bjork. I'd make cucumber sandwiches, meringues, and afterward we'd play old records and pick daisies.
-
Mmm, well I am hungry right now so, I would have to say baked mac and cheese with roasted red peppers and carmelized onions from Kuma's in Chicago, followed up by half of an Iron Maiden burger (veggie pattie) with jalapenos, jack cheese, avocado and chipotle mayo. Yep, I think that'd do me.

in a hot air balloon, preferably one with a tiny house attached.
