It is time for my first interview of the new year. I wanted to start the new year with a bang, so I didn’t just choose a cosplayer, I chose a cosplayer who happens to be a very successful alt model in the industry. When you are finished reading the review, take some time and look at her sites and I am sure you have seen her somewhere before. Enough about what I, the beast has to say, let’s hear from the beauty herself. (See what I did there, lol.) Nerds and Nerdettes, I present to you my interview with the beautiful and talented, Toxic Techno.
SWN: Who are you and where are you from?
TT: I am known as Toxic Techno and I am from Ohio.
SWN: I first discovered your work on tumblr. You were in body paint as Harley Quinn. How did that idea come about?
TT: I love Harley Quinn and body paint. A photographer friend of mine suggested doing a shoot with another photographer and the body paint artist and it just went from there.
SWN: I noticed that some of your modeling deals with things of the Nerdy nature, like gaming and comics. Are you a gamer? Do you read comics? If so what titles have you played or read?
TT: Yes, I am a gamer and comic book reader. I love playing Halo, Gears of War, Borderlands, Assassins Creed, Warhammer, and horror games. In the world of comics I love the Walking Dead, Batman, but mostly Marvel comics.
SWN: How long have you been a model? What was your first “gig”?
TT: About 8 years now I believe. My first one was a shoot in a cemetery with the modeling company I was with. As for paid gigs I did senior photos for a local photographer.
SWN: What is your favorite genre to model?
TT: It would have to be Cybergoth. I love being able to mix colors ,cyberlox and furry leg warmers.
SWN: If you had to pick one, do you prefer sexy outfits or body paint?
TT: sexy outfits.
SWN: What are your modeling plans for the future?
TT: Try and get out there more.
SWN: What other passions do you have besides modeling?
TT: Playing board games
SWN: Where can our readers see more of your work?
TT: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram
SWN: If you could give advice to newcomers to the modeling world, what would it be?
TT: Watch out for creepers and bad photographers. Always bring an escort to photo shoots. Don’t agree to shoot if it doesn’t feel right.
