Interview with Miss Black Lagoon — A Colorado siren
Miss Black Lagoon is a 20-year old model residing in Longmont, Colorado.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
I am a published made alternative model based in Colorado. I am also a very proud mother of a little boy. I was raised in East L.A. with a somewhat normal upbringing. I went to Sunday school for 1 semester as a child but I was also very strong opinionated and I almost got in trouble one time when my teacher asked me if I thought I was as perfect as Jesus Christ and I said “yes” and she yelled at me and I was so confused as to why. I don’t really let others think for me. As a child I wrote a lot of poetry and that still follows me today. I still write and sometimes even write short novels. I have interests in almost anything; I can adopt to almost anything that intrigues me so it’s very hard for make to have dull moments. I grew up having a father as a tattoo artist so I was able to look through the magazines he would buy such as Tattoo, Ink, Flash and others… And when I would look through them I would always see all these beautiful models with tattoos and I knew that one day I would want to be just like them.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I first got involved in modeling when I was approached my a local photographer in my town. She saw that I was able to do victory rolls -a hair do- on myself and asked if I wanted to do a pinup photo shoot and I said yes. I was only 17 at the time and that was the first ever pinup photo shoot that I did and when I turned 18 I decided to post those pictures on Model Mayhem and that’s when my modeling career sort of snow balled into what it is now.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
My goal is to just be very well known and let people know what I do or what I like to do and let my passion for modeling shine through to the point where I am taken as a serious alternative model. I would love to just get my name out there.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I mainly do a lot of alternative pinup photo shoots. Currently I’m in the process of starting a calendar. I would love to do more video work, I was involved in the music video “Karla the strange ” by Maddy Ellwanger. And I also have experience with competing in Pin Up contests.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
Most of the shoots I have are always so great that it’s hard to pick the best and I’ve never really have had a “worst” experience yet.
I like to work with professional people who respect me as I will always respect them, so I am very picky at who I choose to work with and because of that I rarely get a bad experience.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
I have had soo many that it is seriously so weird to even mention. This one time I wore such see through clear under wear that my private part was showing and I have no idea. It was seriously an embarrassing moment.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
I would love for more alternative models to get more recognition in the high fashion industry.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
Unforgivably I don’t play sports or eat healthy but I do make it a priority every night or at least 5 nights a week to work out.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
I am very obsessed with tarantulas and bats. I’ve always been as a child. I never really had a cat or a dog as a pet when I was younger but I always had a pet tarantula around.
Would you change anything about yourself?
I would love more tattoos.
Do you have any fears or phobias?
Dying without leaving an impact on someone scares me to death.
