It’s a lovely Sunday afternoon, the boyfriend is at work, and I’m relaxing on the couch enjoying the scent of my fabulous new strawberry chocolate candles. Since I’m in such a great mood, I decided to post on all my social networking haunts and find out what people want to ask me. Here’s the best questions, along with my answers!

what do people from your school say and think of u now youve gone from geeky blonde schoolgirl to hot as hell penthouse pet? any of them suck up?

Apart from the occasional Facebook interaction, I don’t actually speak to anyone I went to school with, so I’m not really sure. There’s been a few people from school over the years who’ve contacted me and said they can’t believe I’m the same person and congratulated me on my success… I guess because I was always so shy and socially awkward and weird, they find it pretty amazing I turned out like this. I remember a few years back I was dancing at the Crazy Horse and this ‘popular’ guy from my school came in. Now, this guy used to be a fucking jerk to me, and back in high school I doubt he’d have pissed on me if I were on fire, but when he saw me looking all hot in my Victoria’s Secret lingerie his attitude was much more agreeable. He even went so far as to tell me that it’s been ages since he’s seen me and that he “misses me” and that we should totally catch up for a drink. Telling him to go fuck himself was one of the best feelings in the world.

do you get excited when putting on a show on stage?

Depends how you define “excited”. If you mean sexually excited, then no, absolutely not. When I’m performing, sex is the last thing on my mind. There’s just too much other stuff going on for me to even think about feeling aroused – my brain is usually going into overdrive making sure nobody is trying to sneak photos with their cellphone camera, judging the crowd response, making sure nobody is trying to cause trouble, etc. However, if you mean excited in the general sense, then yeah I guess I do. I always get an adrenaline rush, especially when the crowd is loud and enthusiastic. Performing in front of an appreciative crowd really makes me feel awesome and gives me one hell of an ego boost!

how did you get into penthouse online did you call them or other way round

I won the “Aussie Babes” competition that Australian Penthouse ran via their website, and was chosen from a huge bunch of stunning girls to be photographed by Ed Fox for the January 2009 cover & centerfold. I certainly never expected to win when I entered, especially considering the photos I submitted with my entry were shot by my best friend in her back yard with my shitty digital camera and were far from professional. But thanks to the support of all my awesome online pals, I won, and it was one of the best experiences of my life.

What is your idea of a perfect dinner….. Place, style, people and mood of the dinner

Well for starters, I’m a fucking carnivore hahah, so there’d better be some kind of thick juicy steak involved! I’m not really one for the whole romance thing so candlelit dinners aren’t really my style, I love dining out at fancy restaurants and spending big but still like to keep it relatively casual. Good friends, good conversation, good beer or wine and most importantly, good food!

Who gave you your first kiss?

My first kiss was with a boy called Leigh. He was my boyfriend at the time and I think I was about 13 or 14, I guess that makes me a late bloomer? I dunno, I lived in a really small outback town so there wasn’t a lot of kissable boys haha, and I wasn’t exactly Little Miss Popularity back then. Anyway, Leigh was a football player from one of the neighbouring towns that my town played against. I made out with him in the back seat of my parents’ car, something my mum and dad really weren’t too impressed about. He dumped me 2 weeks later because I wouldn’t let him touch my vag. Ah, teen romance, it’s a beautiful thing. Hahaha.

whats your favourite tattoo and whats the meaning behind it? wats your next tattoo plans? How many tattoos do you have?

I honestly don’t know how many tattoos I have. There’s heaps that I don’t know if they count as one or two so I guess rather than making it about numbers, let’s just say I have a lot. I think my favourite tattoo is probably “ZOMBIE KILLER” on the back of my legs under my butt cheeks. It doesn’t really mean much, except that I play Resident Evil a lot and I want to kill zombies in the inevitable apocalypse. I’m not really into tattoos with deep emotional meaning and I’m not someone who wants to permanently etch the trials and tribulations of my life on my skin, I just get tattoos of shit I like. As for my next tattoo plans, I won’t give too much away at this stage and I haven’t started getting anything drawn up yet, but it’s going to be a tribute to my hero, Freddie Mercury.

what is it that keeps you positive in such a a sleazy industry .. do u constantly find yourself swithcing into another state of mind in order to get on with the job

It’s true that I deal with a LOT of crap, but the majority of the time the awesomeness of it outweighs the bad stuff. It’s MySpace that probably bugs me the most because my god are some people on there retarded, which is why apart from the few minutes I spend each day accepting friend requests, I don’t really use it any more. When it comes to working in strip clubs, I think one thing that really gets you through the sleazy rubbish from idiot drunk men is the feeling of camaraderie with the other girls, it’s probably not the same at every club but where I worked we almost had a sisterhood of showgirls. You fuck with one of us, and you fuck with all of us. And I guess if all that fails, I just remind myself of the $1000’s I can bring home on a Saturday night.

if you could live the life of a famous person, dead or alive, for one day, who would it be?

Without question, it would be Marie Antoinette. I am fascinated with her and everything she embodied. She was the original rich socialite party girl with the best fucking wardrobe of anyone ever in the history of the world, but at the same time she was so tragically naive and tormented and ultimately doomed to a violent end. To be able to experience what her life was like, and to know whether she truly deserved what she got or whether she was the victim of propaganda created by a poverty-stricken French kingdom in turmoil, would be simply incredible.

Anyway that’s enough Q&A, but maybe I’ll make this a regular Sunday thing if people seem to like reading my answers. Peace out
