Photographer: Chris Beasley | Words: Neale McGeever Hi Rebecca, welcome to Elite! Tell us what you have been up to recently: I have been really busy taking on modelling full time and enjoy my 21st birthday. It was a blast! What was it like to work with Chris on this shoot? Amazing! I always love shooting with Chris, he is like a big bro to me he is so amazing. What was it like to work with Leah? Well well well, how do I even start to describe this girl! She is a super babe and the loveliest person going and a pleasure to work with. What’s Leah’s best feature? I am going to have to say Leah’s best feature are those pretty big blue eyes of hers. I could look in to them all day she is just a gorgeous girl all over. What’s your best feature? Hmm I really love my lips but I think my best feature is my bottom I do think I have a good bit of bum. Outside of modelling, do you have any other passions? I love travelling around and seeing new places I haven’t been before. I am hoping to go to America next year, now that I am 21. It is going to be amazing. So how can a guy impress you? Well for starters they have to want to impress me, I hate a guy who thinks they have everything in the bag... that is boring and annoying! I like a guy who wants to take me to the pictures, buy me popcorn and cuddle me at night! Perfect.

Photographer: Chris Beasley | Words: Neale McGeever

What is the naughtiest thing you’ve done? I am not really a naughty girl sorry to upset you guys. I am normally the one who is at home eating chocolate in my pants watching horror films. What’s a guaranteed turn on for you? Someone who is a fucking good kisser. I am always a sucker for a guy who is a good kisser. Do you have any tattoos or piercings? I have loads of tattoos and I am working on getting more I am hoping to get my back piece booked in beginning of next year. I am looking forward to that... and only the one piercing on the side of my nose. Are you a high heels or trainers girl? I am always a trainer girl. Always have been and always will be. I love a good pair of Nikes. Who would be your ideal housemate? Someone who will sit around on their days off with me eating Haribo and watching The Simpsons with me... that would be the most bad ass housemate going. Beards - Yes or No? I am sorry to everyone but I am not a beard fan at all! I think some of the guys out there with beards are so good looking and hiding it bugs me. What’s the worst idea you have ever had? Thinking it was a good idea to eat so much chocolate and cake on my birthday, I felt like I was going to die from the intake of so much cake or turn into one in my sleep. Finally, is there anything you would like to say to the Elite readers? I would like to say I love you people over here and I hope you enjoy mine and Leah’s feature. She is a babe and I know why you guys love her, I do to! So much love to you all and I hope I am back on these pages soon, if you want me back? I love you.

Gorgeous Geordie Photographer: Tripodski

Hi Sophie, welcome to Elite! Tell us how would you describe your style? Hey Elite! I would say laid back, like me. What was it like to work with Tripodski on this shoot? Great fun, I was quite nervous about getting back infront of the camera after a year off but Tripodski was so cool I felt at ease!

Outside of modelling, do you have any other passions? Music, without it life would be so bland. So how can a guy impress you? Humbleness, having a good sense humor and a good sense of style. A guy with passion, someone who follows their dreams, works hard but also knows how to have fun! And he HAS to like animals. I dont trust anyone who doesnt like animals. What is the naughtiest thing you do? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some house viewings recently, I left a whip and a mask out on the bed in the hope it would make the estate agent feel awkward. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there to see their faces but I would have liked to have been.

What’s a guaranteed turn on for you? Intelligence and Wit. What’s the worst idea you have ever had? Taking a leak outside a party at the Uni with some girlfriends. Unfortunately we decided it would be good to take a leak on a hill, the laws of gravity had it that I ended up getting splashed by my friends wee who had decided to perch further up, well of course once she started, she couldnt stop! We did laugh, a lot. If you could, what would you like to un-see? Ah, do you have to remind me? Walking in on my partents having ‘special cuddles’ as a kid.

Do you have any tattoos or piercings? Just the one... Who would be your ideal housemate? Sponge Bob Square pants. Beards - Yes or No? Stubble.

Hi Romanie, welcome to Elite! Tell us a bit about yourself, where you’re from and how you got started in the industry: Hello, thank you for having me! I’m 19 (I’ll be 20 on 1st December), and I’m from Essex. I’ve been modelling professionally for about 18 months. I was asked to test by a local photographer who suggested I tried some fetish work and it’s escalated from there. How would you describe your style? I’m a bit of a tom boy at heart so when I’m at home I live in boxers and a shirt, but when I go out, the girl in me comes out to play. I like to look really feminine but in a very individual way . What was it like to work with the photographer on this shoot? Nicola is amazing :) We’ve worked together a lot in the last year and I can honestly say she’s like an Auntie to me. She’s incredibly talented and if I’m totally honest, it’s like spending a day with a good friend, it’s not work we always have such a good laugh. What was your favourite part of the shoot? All of it, I seriously loved every aspect of it. I love having hair and make up done and of course dressing up, we usually have music playing and loads of girly talk! Outside of modelling, do you have any other passions? I’m a pretty passionate person, I’m creative, I enjoy drawing and design, I love listening to music and of course shopping!

If you could be one person for the day, who would you be and why? I would be Pamela Anderson of course... why? Because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pamela fucking Anderson! 42

Photographer: www.myboudoir.co.uk | MUAH: Sarah Elliott

If you could be in charge of Elite for one week, what would you do? I’d produce a girl’s special edition and get some sexy assed men in it! If you could be a superhero, who would you be and why? Me a superhero? You know I’d have to be a supervillan and it would have to be bubbly yet psychotic Harley Quinn. Where’s the worst place you’ve been? On a hospital ward when an old woman in the bed opposite me died, it totally freaked me out. What’s your favourite film? ‘Let’s be cops’ - It’s the funniest film I’ve watched since White Chicks, I’ve never laughed so much. If you haven’t seen it, you should!

www.eliteonlinemag.com

43


Do you have any crazy phobias? Yes... quite a few of them! I HATE dressed up people, especially clowns - Comicon was literally a living, breathing nightmare for me. My other major phobia is tomato ketchup, it makes me want to vomit! If anyone has it near me, it makes me go into a cold sweat. So how can a guy impress you? The main thing for me is personality, if he can make me laugh... then he’s a keeper.

What’s a guaranteed turn on for you? Muscles and tatts, all the way. What’s your favourite fancy dress outfit? I do a good Barbie... most days actually! Finally, is there anything you would like to say to the Elite readers? Thank you for reading my interview and for supporting me!! <3 I’f you’d like to seem more of me, follow me on FB, IG & Twitter xx

s u x hex s m l i f We welcome to Hexxus Films, who are an independent company based in Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Hexxus are fairly new and looking to make a name for themselves. The company launched itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut on the 22nd of September 2014 with a showreel featuring the first Hexxus Girl to join the company, Rheanne Chimene McInanny.

46

www.eliteonlinemag.com


Their work is multi-media based... they do photography and film production whilst focusing on an alternative and grungy style of work. They have a relaxed but professional approach to shooting with all the models who work with them. In a very competitive industry they focus on giving models something different, be that the style or the shoot itself. Models don’t only receive photos but also a showreel video to add to their portfolios. “We are slowly looking to branch out our capabilities, to do this we are searching for alternative companies that would be happy to partner with us to get ours and their own name known. Not only do we wish to become an advising company to help others, we want to become a well know company who will eventually have its own clothing and branding lines. As well as featuring articles in well known magazines”.

If you could give one reason why you think Hexxus stands out to its competitors what would it be? Diversity. What’s next for Hexxus? Building a name for ourselves, introducing new Hexxus girls and start producing music videos. Final words for Elite readers? Show us some love with your support, like us or follow us to keep up to date with what’s happening and maybe spreading the word!

So tell us how did Hexxus come about? Originally I was a freelance photographer under the name of JS Photography, which was doing all sorts of photography and after many months of doing this I wanted to get into the model photography industry. The name Hexxus originally originates from animation cartoon called FernGully: The Last Rainforest. Hexxus is the ancient evil spirit of destruction and the main antagonist, thus HexxusFilms was born. How did you fine Rheanne and what makes her your ideal choice? Rheanne was a friend at University. She is my ideal choice because she’s got everything... beauty, sexyness, glamourous, and she’s the bomb!

Hi Leah, and welcome to Elite! What have you been up to recently? Thank you it’s great to be back! I have been super busy at FFM Headquarters in the lead up to Christmas. We have lots going on at the moment! So in the UK it’s cold and miserable whilst it’s your Summer in Oz. What do you prefer Winter or Summer? It’s not quite Summer, still Spring but it sure feels like Summer here and I love it! That time of the year we can get our maneaters out :-P How does it feel to be gracing the Elite cover? Amazing! I’m stoked to be on the cover it’s a real privilege. So you’re the superbabe behind the Femme Fatales… how did you start it all? I’m passionate about the industry I work in and I felt like I had so much more to offer. I wanted something of my own and Femme Fatale Models has become my empire. I built my business from an idea that snowballed into what it is now. I’m very proud of how far we have come in such a short period of time. It’s not easy coming into such a competitive industry, but everything I have done so far has been worth all of the blood, sweat and tears! If you had to choose, who are you closest to out of all the Femme Fatales? I can’t say I’m the closest to anyone, being the boss I like to keep it professional but I still always have a good laugh with the girls!

What has been your best moment with the group? Our catch ups on the job are always fun, we get to learn about each other and others in the industry. There’s lots of gossip and it’s funny to hear what goes around. We should have our own TV show, it would surely be a hit! Haha.

What’s next for you and the girls? I have some huge plans next year with FFM including expanding the business interstate. Everything else I’m keeping on the hush until the time is right! We see you are wearing some Maneater Swimwear in your shoot for us, lucky you! Why do you think they are so good and why everyone wants some of their clothing? We love our maneater swimwear! They are our biggest sponsor and always provide us with the best quality bikinis for our shoots and events. They even make custom one offs AND Tara Reid is one of their regular clients! Enough of the serious talk: What’s your favourite thing about living down under? My favourite thing is our beaches. I have visited some amazing countries but Australia honestly has the most beautiful beaches I have ever had the pleasure of sun baking on. If you could travel to anywhere in the world where would it be? Next stop, UK :-P Finally, any last words for the Elite readers?

Hi Minnie, and welcome to Elite! What have you been up to recently? Hey Elite readers! Recently I’ve done some traveling to a few different countries but besides that just standard reality... work, work, work! So in the UK it’s cold and miserable whilst it’s your Summer in Oz. What do you prefer Winter or Summer? Summer for sure! I love getting out on the water on my jet ski and tanning on the beach with friends . You’re one of the amazing Femme Fatales, led by our covergirl Leah Maree. How did you end up join this group of bad-ass chicks? A few years ago Leah asked me to join the gang and now here I am with multiple international publications and heaps of new besties thanks to her yay! If you had to choose, who are you closest to out of all the Femme Fatales? I consider myself a bit of an all rounder and love all the Femme Fatale girls however, all the girls you see pictured here probably top them... Nothing beats a tattooed chick. We see you are wearing some Maneater Swimwear in your shoot for us, lucky you! Why do you think they are so good and why everyone wants some of their clothing? I think the variety of different cuts and materials make them appealing to everyone! I particularly like the black leather style... Reoooow. Enough of the serious talk: What’s your favourite thing about living down under? Gosh, I could go on forever! I really love the Australian lifestyle, we are all pretty laid back and easy going here. If you could travel to anywhere in the world where would it be? The Greek Islands - their Summer is our Winter so it would be a perfect escape over our cooler season. Definitely on my to do list for next year

Hi Lisha, welcome back to Elite! Tell us what you have been up to since you last featured: LOTS AND LOTS! Haha, I have a 2015 calendar with Joseph Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien coming out and last week I shot my very first video wearing lots of rubbery goodness! What was it like to work with Chris on this shoot? It was my first shoot with Chris, he is an absolute gem and it was great fun! :) What was your favourite part of the shoot? The whole shoot was great, we shot at my apartment so it was very relaxed and we could have as many cups of tea as we liked! ;) Outside of modelling, do you have any other passions? I love drawing, even if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not all that good at it! If you could be one person for the day, who would you be and why? I have to say, I would never want to be anyone else!

I love The Hidden Face, The Orphanage and Braindead, but there are SO MANY MORE. Do you have any crazy phobias? I’m terrified of spiders, I’ve been known to run screaming from the stalks off tomatoes that look suspiciously like spiders when dropped. What is the naughtiest thing you do? I eat LOTS of chocolate. I get more than my 5 a day of fruit and veg, but then I have my 5 a day of chocolate bars too.

Hi Jenny, welcome to Elite! Tell us a bit about yourself, where you’re from and how you got started in the industry: Hey, I’m from Liverpool and I got spotted by a local photographer asking to shoot. I went ahead with it, enjoyed it and now I’m just learning as I go along. How would you describe your style? I don’t really have a specific style, I wear what I want. I look different everyday. What was it like to work with Jack on this shoot? On this shoot and every shoot I have with Jack, it’s so much fun, I always look forward to working with him. What was your favourite part of the shoot? I’d have to say the stars and stripes outfit haha, made the shoot more exciting and fun. Outside of modelling, do you have any other passions? Yeh I’m actually studying fine art, art has always been a passion of mine as well as music. I can sing and attempt playing guitar haha. What is the naughtiest thing you do? Now that would be telling ;) Do you have any tattoos or piercings? Yeh I have 5 tattoos just on my arms and I have my ears, nose an belly pierced.

Beards - Yes or No? On the right person yes. Some lads just look like they have a vagina on their face. Just no. 88

Are you a high heels or trainers girl? I’m in trainers most the time, although I do like getting dressed up wearing heels. Who would be your ideal housemate? Tbh I prefer animals to humans. I love my dogs, but if I had to choose someone maybe Jonah hill, be amusing. What’s the worst idea you have ever had? Oh god I have bad ideas all the time, half of them I still probably think are top ideas so you would have to ask someone for my worst haha. If you could, what would you like to un-see? There’ are too many things. Why do you think I’m so messed up in the head haha.

Hi Georgia, welcome to Elite! Tell us a bit about yourself, where you’re from and how you got started in the industry: Hey! I’m from Newcastle and I’m an English student and dancer/model. I started modelling around 2 1/2 years ago for a bit of fun and it just snowballed from there! I’ve been lucky enough to have been published internationally in magazines, websites and even a book! I also became a Suicide Girl last year and had the privilege of going to Portugal with them in April and meeting some amazing people!

Natalie Gibson & Georgia Elizabeth

Photographer: Tripodski | Words: Neale McGeever

How would you describe your style? Girly grunge? Is that a thing? Haha :) I like denim, leather, plaid, black, but with a feminine edge. What was it like to work with Tripodski on this shoot? I’ve worked with him a bunch of times! He was great, always a pleasure! Hopefully I’ll get to work with him again soon. What was it like to work with Natalie? We’re good friends anyway, it was a lot of fun! She’s a lovely girl and so hot, I love my job! What’s Natalie’s best feature? Those legs go on for miles! I don’t think anyone can look at them and not feel a pang of jealousy! What’s your best feature? Haha I’m usually complimented on my butt, so probably that. Can I say my brain too? Haha. What was the funniest thing to happen at the shoot? I think the whole thing was loads of fun, we didn’t stop laughing! Outside of modelling, do you have any other passions? Literature and film! I’m such a geek at heart. Oh, and food. So how can a guy impress you? A sense of humour is a necessity! I also love guys with individual style and charisma. Do you have any tattoos or piercings? Lots of each! I’ve got a few tattoos on my legs, ribs, sleeve etc. My back piece is still in progress, I’m desperate to get that finished. I’ve taken a lot of my piercings out over the years, it’s too easy to catch them in my job! My favourite that I’ve left in is probably my double tongue. Are you a high heels or trainers girl? It depends on the occasion! I like the comfort of trainers and the sexiness of heels. Trainers probably win overall, though.

What is the naughtiest thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done? Cheeky question! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to get me drunk before I tell you that!

What’s a guaranteed turn on for you? A bad-boy attitude! I can’t resist.

Who would be your ideal housemate? I love living by myself! I can’t deal with other people 24/7 haha Beards - Yes or No? Generally no. I hate really long beards, but I like a bit of stubble or short, well-maintained beard. What’s the worst idea you have ever had? God, so many! Usually starting with “Oh, come on! Let’s get another round of shots!” Finally, is there anything you would like to say to the Elite readers? Be excellent to each other ;)

Hi Natalie, welcome to Elite! Tell us a bit about yourself, where you’re from and how you got started in the industry: Hi! Thank you. I’m going to start with the fact I’m completely crazy about pizza and cats. I often think about the future and see a great representation of myself and that crazy cat lady from The Simpsons... I spend my days working full time in a phone shop were I get to spend all day being geeky about phones, then I finish my day being geeky at home playing my favourite games on the Xbox. My current favourites are Skyrim and Call Of Duty Ghosts. How would you describe your style? I’d like to believe I have my own style, I often like to dress down everyday outfits with a hint of tom boy without even realising. I can’t help wearing pretty dresses with my favourite Vans trainers!

What was it like to work with Georgia? Me and Georgia are actually good friends, so shooting with her is always awesome. She’s also taught me a lot about what I know about the industry and helped me a lot to get the confidence I needed to peruse the dream. What’s your best feature? I’m going to say my legs. Every time anyone talks about my legs it’s “legs for days”. When I was in college doing textiles we were asked to measure our legs and my legs at the time were just over a metre long, so gosh knows what they are now! Haha. What was the funniest thing to happen at the shoot? Georgia’s tan made me smell like biscuits haha! Outside of modelling, do you have any other passions? I’ve always wanted to do games testing/games design. I love anything technical.

Photographer: Tripodski | Words: Neale McGeever

What was it like to work with Tripodski on this shoot? It’s always great to work with him, we always have a wicked laugh!

What is the naughtiest thing you’ve done? When I was 3 I was at my nanas on a Saturday, like I always used to. Anyway, my nana hadn’t seen/heard anything for a long time so she got worried and started looking around the house and found me in my aunties room. I was stood in front of the mirror with a pair of scissors in one hand and a lump of hair in the other. I’d only gone and cut off my entire fringe off to my scalp. I learnt my lesson as it was school photo day a couple weeks after that incident, and I can honestly say that it was the worst school photo ever! Do you have any tattoos or piercings? I do, I’m always wanting more tattoos but I’m just so indecisive as to what I want that I can never decide! Are you a high heels or trainers girl? Definitely got to be trainers, or any other flat shoes. Simply because I’m 6ft already, haha!

What’s Georgia’s best feature? That booty! Photographer: Tripodski | Words: Neale McGeever

Who would be your ideal housemate? There’s so many amazing people I could say, but ideally it would be Jake from Adventure Time. I could get him to morph into the coolest of things, like a giant trampoline! I mean, who wouldn’t love waking up to bacon pancakes? Beards - Yes or No? Yes! What’s the worst idea you have ever had? I don’t think there’s just one, haha! I’m going to say the time I showed up at a rock gig in a monkey onsie and I got so drunk I attempted to go for a smoke outside and fell down the entire set of stairs. *cringe*

Photographer: Tripodski | Words: Neale McGeever


Hi Jessa, welcome to Elite! Tell us a bit about yourself, where you’re from and how you got started in the industry: I’m from Atlanta, GA, USA originally home of all things Coca-Cola, peaches, and Hip-Hop - but I live in Philly now. Started modeling as soon as I could at 18, doing whatever fashion runway shows and photoshoots I could being the runt that I am, I’m only 5’4. At 19, I applied to model for SuicideGirls.com and then started shooting more fetish, budoir and art nude work. Now I’m just trying to take over the Internet, one nude photo at a time. As far as personality goes, I’m kind of an asshole, honestly. I’m super opinionated, really book-smart (currently in my last year of uni and have been on the Dean’s List more often than I’d like to admit). I’m a 420-friendly vagabond. I hate being in one place for too long so I travel as frequently as I can. I love snakes, tequila, baths, bikes, and anything with bacon, cheese or caramel. How would you describe your style? If Mel B had a baby with Dita Von Teese, I think I’d be somewhere in the middle of that. As much as I love classic chic and sexy but sophisticated styles, I love bright colors and modernist eclectic patterns. I try to take a bit of inspiration from everything I love. Everyday should be a new chance to reinvent yourself. So many people are trying to look the same, to fit in and be acceptable to someone else’s standards. I just want to look like me. Not quite a living anime character, but I’m working on it. What was it like to work with the photographer on this shoot? Tripodski is a fucking genius! He’s really the funniest, nicest, sweetest dude you’ll ever meet. It’s really nice to meet and work with someone that’s enthusiastic about a shoot - high energy to keep you motivated and churning out the magic. So yeah, this was definitely one of the best shoots I’ve had in a long time! I can’t wait for a chance to work with him again on my next trip to the UK!

Do you have any crazy phobias? Spiders; Fuck. That. Shit.

www.eliteonlinemag.com


What was your favourite part of the shoot? There was one moment where he was like, “Do you mind pulling your top down a bit?” And I was like, “I can do that?” And he was like, “Fuck yeah, we can go topless if you want!” And I was like, “FUCK YEAH!” Because the States are pretty much prude city and we can’t have anything over implied nudity in a magazine so it was nice to just be in my element... and my birthday suit. Outside of modeling, do you have any other passions? I hope to become a music journalist after I’m finished with uni next Spring. But other than that, I also want to publish my own memoir at some point, writing is my first love. I’d also like to start a volunteer-mentor organization that teaches young girls to do graffiti and or skateboard; start my own jewelry company and maybe have my own band. I have so many things I want to accomplish in life. Virgos don’t know what it means not to be busy so I’m sure I’ll get to them all, too! If you could be in charge of Elite for one week, what would you do? Probably eat too much ice cream, look at all the boobs, and throw a massive party at the end of the week. That’s basically what you guys do already, yeah? If you could be a superhero, who would you be and why? Well, I’ve cosplayed Elektra, Catwoman, and Starfire, but I think I’m gonna have to go with Buffy The Vampire Slayer. She’ll always be my #1 because she was a complete snarky badass and was so selfless. It was cool to see how a modern super heroine would be because most heroes always seem like they’re not of our age and I think the comic industry is getting better about that but she was just more legit to me. I think it’s just because I like vampire mythology though. The real, demonic Anne Rice kind, not that TwilightVampire Diaries “I don’t burn, I sparkle” watered down romanticized bullshit.

Photographer: Tripodski | Words: Neale McGeever

What’s your favourite film? That’s tricky. I’m really into films so it changes all the time. I think I’d have to go with Grindhouse: Death Proof (2007). I love action films and if I ever do things right, hopefully I’ll end up with a cameo in a Quentin Tarantino film. His work is so good from the scripts to the cinematography to the soundtracks... just perfect. So how can a guy impress you? First and foremost: don’t be a dickhead, which somehow sounds way easier than it actually is, for guys and girls alike (trust me, I’m bi, I know these things). Be funny. Be witty. Be confident. Artistic. Ambitious. Sarcastic. Don’t fanboy. Like good music and films any genre except Dubstep. Be able to hold a riveting conversation. Don’t think that having a beard makes you anything more than a dude with a fucking beard. I’m so sick of this “real men have beards” bullshit. You know what real men have self-worth that isn’t attributed to something as arbitrary as facial hair.

What is the naughtiest thing you do? Oh, dude, that’s just unfair. I’m a terribly naughty girl; I can’t pick just one thing! What’s a guaranteed turn on for you? In the bedroom: Choking. Outside the bedroom: Wellfitting jeans. Girls or guys, if you look good in jeans, I’m definitely checking out your bum. What’s your favourite fancy dress outfit? As long as I’m in heels and lipstick, everything is fancy by default. But in general, I’ll definitely throw on something with lace or a tight dress that shows off my legs or my back. I’m in the process of having my back fully tattooed now and there’s absolutely nothing sexier than a woman in a backless dress with a full back tattoo.

Finally, is there anything you would like to say to the Elite readers? I hope you weren’t expecting the girl next door; I ate her for breakfast. No, but seriously, I hope you enjoyed this interview. It’s been my favourite yet! www.eliteonlinemag.com
