What do you prefer wearing - knickers or thongs?

Thongs, because it's just more comfortable.

How often do you wax?

I don't wax, but I shave every five days.

If you could change one thing about your body, what would you change and why?

I don't want to change anything. My mother made me like this and I don't see the need to change anything.

What do you love or hate most about being a lingerie model?

I don't really enjoy being so close to naked on the runway, but other than that, it's fine. If they choose me, it means I've got something good to show, right?

What does your partner think about your job as a lingerie model?

He's okay with it -he's a model too, so he understands.

What's your most embarrassing catwalk moment?

I slipped on the runway, but thankfully, I didn't fall.
