Seeing as I’m lucky enough to meet so many lovely ladies though modeling I thought it would be a nice treat to interview some sexy ladies for my blog.  My first subject is MellyKitty :

-What inspired you to start modeling?

I had a friend ask me to pose for him for a few nude figure photos and also to show off his makeup abilities. It was a lot of fun drinking strawberry daiquiris and just taking pictures all night. I really wanted to branch off and do different things with different artists so I moved on from there.

-What do you enjoy most about being a model?

I love the way it makes me feel. I used to think I had such an awkward body and that my legs were too long and my boobs were too small and my ass way too fat. When I started modeling nude I was forced to open up to the side of me that made me most uncomfortable. I never used to look at myself in a full length mirror before. Now that I’ve seen my body the way other people see it, I feel fantastic. I don’t hate my body anymore. I love myself and that’s the most important thing that modeling could ever do for me.

-I think “MellyKitty” is a very cute name, how did you come up with that as your model name?

Haha, no one ever asks me about that. It’s actually a nickname I picked up in high school. I used to wear cat ears all the time. I actually have them on in my senior picture. The nickname stuck through everything so I just carried it over to my modeling.

-Why did you decided to exclusively model for Deviant Nation?

I really love it there. The people, the models. I just feel like I belong. Eventually I’d like to model for other sites as well but for right now DN just seems to fit me.

-What is the strangest thing that you have done for a shoot?

Aside from moterboating Oktane’s bewbs, I’d have to say climbing a tree in just a corset and stripper heels was pretty intese. The worst part about that was the photographer flaked and I never got the images.

-You mentioned that your boyfriend is you main photographer, is that because it’s just convenient or do you find that modeling for someone you have an intimate connection with makes for better photos?

He’s actually a really dificult person for me to work with but I bennefit from greatly from it. We have a lot of fun on shoots together and he’s easier for me to open up to but he has no problem telling me if I’m making a stupid face that doesn’t work in the photo. He’s a very straight forward person with me over other models because he wants me to be better than them. I feel that my shoots with him come out so much better than with other photographers because he pushes me further than anyone else ever would.

-Has posing nude on the internet ever caused any problems for you in real life like family or coworkers coming across your photos?

I haven’t run into any issues so far. I try to keep my work life and my home life separate for the most part. I have a few friends that I work with that I’ve shared photos with and they’re fully supportive of what I do. I don’t really talk to my family about it. My ma knows to a point about what I do and my sister-in-law knows but they’re it. My dad and brother don’t talk to me on a personal level like my ma and sister-in-law do.

-You mentioned that you started modeling before you got tattoos, has having tattoos changed the types of shoots you do or the amount of work you get?

I’ve had a few photographers try to hire me and tell me that they were going to photoshop out my tattoos. Mostly I get photographers that want to shoot with me because of my weird hair and tattoos. I feel that I get more work because of my uniqeness than the other way around. I’ve gotten offered more jobs where my tattoos are a part of the photo rather than just a part of me.
