Why are you obsessed with pin-up?
“I really love the idea of the classic beauty, I love Betty Page, Rita Hayworth. They had beautiful faces and they were able to carry themselves in a way that they were able to tease the audience rather than put it all out there. I really respect that, I think that its cool that you can still be considered sexy and beautiful and attractive by not just showing off everything you got.

How do you feel about beauty standards?
“I love when women feel beautiful about themselves, I think that is really cool. Anytime when you see selfies and stuff, its like, you go! You look great today and that’s awesome! It’s great, I love when people are able to do that. The beauty standards as far as the media goes though, you know with photoshopping and not making girls feel like they have to be tiny in order to be beautiful , it’s really sad and depressing. I love when women feel beautiful no matter what. Or anyone, it could be anyone. Beauty standards in general.”
