GGotW: What draws you to the Goth scene?
DKs: I just LOVE the lifestyle itself. The music, style, the people are all just amazing!! Goth comes in many differ styles and I am drawn into each one, especially the Cyber Goth scene. I love all the colors and wardrobe that goes along with it. The music is what really drew me in!! I love music in general and the differ styles and type of music within the scene is just awesome!

GGotW: When did you start Modeling?
DKs: I was 17 when I first started to model. A friend in my senior class photography class had me pose and such for her and she got me interested in the idea. I did small runways shows here and there before doing anything photo wise.

GGotW: Why did you want to start modeling?
DKs: All through growing up I loved that I was so different, and because I was always very tall and lean, they told me I should get into modeling. I just love putting art into a photograph. Playing with different wardrobe, makeup, hair styles, and just being able to be myself as well as being able to dress up for no reason, as well as having fun with it!

GGotW: Who have you worked with?
DKs: I have worked with many photographers, models, photoshop wizards, etc. People who have each helped in my modeling and helped make beautiful creations with each image! I am looking to work with more Wardrobe and clothing designers!!! I have yet to have had the chance to work with amazing wardrobe and hope to meet some designer's who like my style to collaborate with.

GGotW: I understand that you boyfriend models too, do you work together?
DKs: Yes, we do work together a lot!! We both have our own personality and style. Photogs love how great we mesh together. We have been told numerous times how well we work together and how great we make an image appear.

GGotW: You've done some Dance, has it been useful in modeling?
DKs: I started dance at the age of 4 with Competition Baton twirling, Ballet, Jazz and Gymnastics. I also Go-Go for alternative night club events. I LOVE to dance, if there is great music playin' you will always find me on the dance floor! It has been useful with my modeling. I have had to do ballet style poses and it has helped me learn how to pose my body and what angles look better, etc. Dance has helped me with so much.

GGotW: Have your pictures been published?
DKs: I have had some images on websites, one in particular is Fixemagazine. I have appeared on the site twice. Some of my images will be published in a book within a few months. Some of my work has been sold as prints from the photographers. I am trying to get some published work out there and get my name out within the modeling community!

GGotW: Where do you hope all of this takes you?
DKs: I hope that I could possibly get more work as well as some paid work in my future. I am looking to get into runway and work on some shows. I would love to get some work published and just my name out there. I hope that people enjoy what I do and know all the hard work and time that was put into every image I have done.

A few new images from Drusilla for the X-Mas Season 2010.

GGothW: Corset size 18", really?
SSV: Indeed. :) The coveted 18” waist is mine!

GGothW: When did you start modeling?
SSV: I’ve been modeling off and on since I was 13 or14. I started off with traditional print modeling for local ads. My agency thought I’d get taller than 5’6, but when I turned 16 and was still 5’6, I couldn’t get any more work. Plus, they weren’t too fond of the fact that I had a different hair color every other week. The same year I started working in a store at the mall (which shall remain nameless) and met a goth photographer. We shot in a local Houston cemetery (Hollywood cemetery, aka “the 24 hour cemetery”) and my alt modeling “career” began!

GGothW: What photographers have you worked with?
SSV: I’ve worked with Blind Monkey Studio (AMAZING female photographer), Reactuate Photography (photographer of the Goth Swimsuit Calendar), Natasha Epperson (Awesome female fetish photographer), and Jason R. Stone (of the Goth Glamour Girls website) just to name a few.

GGothW: Being from Texas, have you worked with Philip "Lithium Picnic" Warner?
SSV: Yes, I have. He’s amazing. I’ve worked with him only once in a studio setting while modeling for SINched corsets, but he’s photographed numerous events I’ve been involved with. I used to go-go dance at an event called Pan*Sonic back in 2003 and he shot club pictures for the event. He has also photographed several fashion shows I’ve been involved with for designers including SINched, Heavy Red, and Azrael’s Accomplice.

GGothW: What kind of modeling do you like to do?
SSV: I prefer to do creative shoots as opposed to shoots on a plain background. I have shot everything from goth to pin-up to fetish to fashion, but I always go back to goth. When I shoot fashion, I get slightly bored looking at the images. I love to do location shoots and shoots with crazy over-the-top sets.

GGothW: Who have you not worked with that you would like to?
SSV: There are tons! I don’t get to travel much now that I have a full time day job, but I’d love to work with 666 Photography, Viva Van Story, and Nadya Lev. I could go on and on. One day when I’m rich, I’ll travel around the world and work with all the great alt photographers (unless someone wants to fund that trip now!).

GGothW: Other than modeling, what do you do?
SSV: I DJ, act, make hats, make spooky jewelry out of polymer clay, and create “horror decoupage.”

GGothW: What kind of stuff to you like to spin when DJ-ing?
SSV: I love to spin deathrock, goth, punk, psychobilly, and old school industrial. I just love to make people dance! I used to run a weekly night here in Houston called Bone Church, which was so much fun. We had theme nights, costume contests and giveaways almost every week. Some of my favorite bands include: Specimen, The Cramps, 45 Grave, Ex-Voto, Skeletal Family, Ausgang, Mad Sin, and The Flametrick Subs.

GGothW: You've done some acting, Anything we may have seen?
SSV: Doubtful. I’ve been in several short films by Kevin DeVil, including Zombies Most Wanted parts 1 and 2, and I had the lead role in Walking After Midnight. They’re probably on Youtube somewhere by now. I’ve got several more short films in the works right now.

GGothW: How do you mix your profession of Environmental Law with the goth-modeling common fabrics like Latex?
SSV: I don’t mix them, actually…I keep them pretty separate. Although, I do love the thought of walking into the courtroom all decked out in a latex suit with a pencil skirt and ruffled suit jacket. That would be incredibly hot, and I’m sure the jury would hang on my every word. ;)

GGothW: For someone with limited free time you seem to do a lot, are you just well organized?
SSV: I wouldn’t call myself well organized by any stretch of the imagination…I just don’t sleep a lot! I try to make time to pursue my interests outside of law because if I didn’t have a creative outlet, I’d go crazy.

GGothW: What is your favorite activity?
SSV: I don’t really have a favorite out of all my creative pursuits. Right now, I’m spending most of my free time updating my modeling portfolio. I have new hair, so I need new pictures!
