GGotW: You're New to Gothic Modelling, what got you started?
JA: I always loved the goth scene even though I only got into it recently. Ever since I started getting into the scene I wanted to model but I had no idea how to get started. One day my friend who is a model (more commercial than alternative) invited me with to an elegant goth shoot and I loved it!



GGotW: What keeps you coming back for more shoots?
JA: I love the feeling of being in front of the camera. It's addictive!

GGotW: Is there anything you haven't done, in the way of a shoot, that you'd like to?
JA: I'd like to do some more Avante-Garde stuff, anything unusual. I'd also love to get into horror and macabre shoots.

GGotW: What do you do when you're not modelling?
JA: I'm currently studying fashion and I'm loving it! I also have a long-term boyfriend who I love very much and have to manage my time carefully because I have 3 part-time jobs as well - I'm a barlady, waiter and a hostess.

GGotW: Where do you hope to see your fashion studies take you?
JA: I want to become an alternative fashion buyer to get alternative brands into fashion stores so that they are more easily accessible and affordable

Is there a lot of work for a Goth model in Africa?
JA: There aren't really paying jobs in South Africa, so it's mostly TFCD based work. I have to sometimes go out of my way to search for photographers to work with and organise a shoot.

GGotW: What can you tell me about Emalyth?
JA: Emalyth is a company that focuses on promoting the alternative arts - bands, models, designers, dancers, etc. They host many live events and have the Face of Emalyth project for models, photographers and makeup artists where we collaborate and get our work published through them. You can find out more on their website (www.emalyth.co.za) or facebook page (www.facebook.com/Emalyth.Promotions).

GGotW: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
JA: I've always wanted to move to Finland. I hope to move there once I finish studying. I feel like I belong there because I love all things Norse and all my favourite bands are there.

GGotW: How did you discover Goth Girl of the Week?
LS: I discovered it through Google, searching for examples for a photoshoot I wanted to do.
 
GGotW: Why did you decide to submit?
LS: The girls featured here are absolutely beautiful and I wanted to see if I can measure up to their standards.


GGotW: What got you started in modelling?
LS: A friend of mine advertised for models to do his website art for his band. I had some great ideas that suited the theme, so I decided to try it out and he LOVED it. I obviously loved it too so I stuck to it.

GGotW: What kind of modelling do you do?
LS: I do a little bit of everything, but mostly web and magazine.


GGotW: Who have you worked for?
LS: I have worked for many local brands (clothing, hair, bands, photographers, etc) and Paul Mitchel International.



GGotW: What clothing brands have you worked with?
LS: Chaos R Us, The Broken Clock Designs, Black Dragon Designs, Hellfire Alternative Clothing, and Solsken Clothing.


GGotW: Do you get a lot of opportunities to model?
LS: Being an alternative model in South Africa is very challenging as there are not a lot of opportunities for it, but regarding the little opportunity there is, I guess I get around.


GGotW: Have you travelled much for your modelling work?
LS: I usually only travel around Gauteng, South Africa as I am unable to travel too far with my day job.


GGotW: What is your Day job?
LS: I work in IT for a Risk management software company. I also try spend as much time with my daughter as possible.

GGotW: What does your daughter think of your modelling?

LS: My daughter is only 2 years old now, so I don't think she understands yet :)

GGotW: Do you have advice for those wanting to get started as a model?
LS: Do what YOU love. Do not do anything you are uncomfortable with. This can cause trouble for you and your career.

GGotW: How long have you been modeling?
AM: Well I have been modeling now for three years and still going strong.

GGotW: What got you started as a model?
AM: I used to express myself in the form of words, one day I came to a conclusion of how wonderful it would be to express myself through visualization.

GGotW: You listed singing and playing instruments. Are you in a band?
AM: No I am not currently in a band, but do plan on doing a solo project in the near future.

GGotW: Your profile also said you dance, what kind of dancing do you do?
AM: I do freestyle dancing as well as the usual EBM and burlesque dancing :)

GGotW: Why did you want to be a model?
AM: I decided to become a model to express myself visually.

GGotW: How do you manage to be Goth in Africa?
AM: Pretty easy actually, there are many goth and like minded people in Africa, we are just not as exposed as the rest of the world just yet :)

GGotW: Is there much of a goth scene in South Africa?
AM: Quite a large goth scene in South Africa, but as I mentioned we are still not as exposed yet.

GGotW: As a goth, if I was to visit your part of South Africa, where would you
suggest I go to shop, party, chill?
AM: Well we have Iron Fist shops, tattoo parlours, the works actually. The bigger goth scene and shops ect can be found in Pretoria or Johannesburg. This is where you would find anything from corsets to Demonia boots. There are regular Metal events as well as EBM events in those areas so for a small town girl like me if you wanna party and hang out, you gotta travel! Haha
