Interview with Sonia Tiger — Bay Area Alt model & Gogo Dancer
Sonia Tiger is a 21-year old model residing in Santa Cruz, California.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
Hey,
My name is Sonia Tiger. I’m currently living in Santa Cruz, Ca and I’ve lived in Northern Cali most of my life. I have been modeling and Gogo, burlesque and Character dancing since I was 18 and now I am 21. I also work with medical marihuana and plan to get a BA in Communication and Social Work.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I have always been attracted to tattoos and modeling. I love to create art on, and with, my body. I use my pictures to promote myself as a performer and alt model.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
My current goals are to further my schooling, my career in the edm music industry, and to see the world.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I am currently only a print model and I try to be published a much as possible. I shoot a couple times a month and focus on pin up, tattoo modeling, and implied work.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
My best experiences have been when I get pampered with hair, makeup and wardrobe for a publication shoot.
My worst have been when photographer’s lag or never give me my pictures.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
The most funny and embarrassing thing that has happened so far, has been doing an underwater Photoshoot. So much water goes up your nose and you drool everywhere!
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
Being an alt model, I notice that I would get more exposure if I shot nude. I wish it wasn’t like that.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I ride horses and I am constantly dancing. I take belly dance, burlesque and yoga classes and I have a pole in my house. I eat healthy but I tend to eat a lot. I’m planning on working out a juice diet soon though. I love kale smoothies.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
Tiger is my middle name. My favorite character dancing is clown work. I want to be a foster parent.
Would you change anything about yourself?
I currently want to be healthier, detox and run regularly.
What is the one talent you wish you possessed?
I wish that I could blow fire. It’s so sexy.
