Lovely to see you, Vicki, and I can't WAIT to see how our models respond! Eight models still have to submit their best photo, and they only have 48 hours left!

*Jordan walks in and looks around*

"Oh snap, I'm first? Welp, Ok!"

*Sits down*

1. Why do YOU think you could win ANTM?
Hmm...Well, honestly anyone of us could win it, but I think I'll win because I *want* it, you know? I mean, I'm sure that the other girls want it as badly as I do, but I want to win to show that you don't have to have the "quintessential"
model to be popular and good at your job. I like to let my quirky side out; I'm sarcastic, spunky, nerdy, and a little flaky at times, but I really want to show everyone that not all models are as blood-thirsty and heartless as some might think!
2. What made you decide that you wanted to be the next big thing?
I'm a big fan of photography, but I'm always the one behind the camera. So I thought giving this a shot might be a fun way to get some pictures of myself, minus the odd angles and duck lips. *wink* No, but really, modeling and fashion are two things that have always inspired me. In fact, I make most of my clothes and accessories!
3. What do you do besides modeling?
I like to sew, paint, sculpt, and read in bed, but photography is my first love, and I never go anywhere without my camera. I'm trying to learn French; I want to take a trip to Scaris someday and take pictures of all the old churches.
4. Who (or what) inspires you the most?
I'm inspired by so much, its hard to pinpoint one thing exactly. I could see a button on the floor, and my brains starts racking up new ideas. I have a list of projects to do and things that I want to try that is nearly a mile long!
5. Craziest photoshoot?
So far the second challenge was the craziest. It was hard shooting a Monster Movie poster under a full moon. You know how some actors start to live the role they play? Lets just say, the director went in another direction with the concept after my eyes glazed over and I couldn't stop howling...Not one of my prouder moments!
6. When did you start modeling?
Just recently actually; like I said before, I'm usually the one behind the camera.
7. What did you have to sacrifice to get to where you are today?
Sacrifice? I didn't sacrifice anybody! Wait, oh, not WHO? It was WHAT did I sacrifice? Phew, well that was an awkward moment...even more awkward than the time I got caught drinking out of the toilet bowl at that house party. It wasn't as bad as it sounds, but monsters tend to forget I'm am a canine!
...Wait, what was the question again?
8. Do you ever want to quit modeling?
Nothing so far has made me want to quit. I think that I'll quit when the actual modeling doesn't excite me anymore. But when you get to be something different at every shoot, why would I ever quit?!
9. What is the hardest part about being a model?
Being mindful of exposing certain *ahem* areas. Being a model requires you to be aware of what and how much of yourself is showing.
10. What is your advice for ghouls newly entering the hectic modeling world?
Be yourself, always say "Please" and "Thank You", have fun, but most of all, ALWAYS keep a clean pair of undies in your carry-on...Just trust me on this one.

~Jordan C. Howller

[Gingerbread]

Hello, Vicky darling, how the devil are you? *mwah*. Jordan, sweetheart, you look fabulous *mwah*

Ok we have some questions here for me? OK let's see....


1. Why do YOU think you could win ANTM?
Because I can, basically! I mean I am classical, and everybody wants classical. Pale, flawless skin and blood red lips? Classical!

2. What made you decide that you wanted to be the next big thing?
I never really decided to be honest, it just sort of happened...can a girl help it if she is photogenic? Not in direct sunlight though, I tend to peel....

3. What do you do besides modeling?
I love communing with nature, you can't get better that a bit of natural communing. Flitting about the countryside and see Mother Earth at work is just out of this world. I do like neck watching too, it is my geek-hobby since I had to give up actual neck biting. I have a notebook where I record the date and time, smoothness, colour and texture and overall appeal.

4. Who (or what) inspires you the most?
Tyra Fangs and nature.
Tyra is just so... inspirational...in the true sense of the word. What she wants, she gets, and she pulls it off so well. And of course nature is the original inspiration for everything, it's so beautiful, free, passionate...

5. Craziest photoshoot?
I once did a beach shoot over at Skull Shores...obviously sun and myself don't go together that well so I slathered on the suncream. But it got a bit windy and the wind was whipping up the sand and I ended up being chased around by a hydra who was convinced I was some sort of sand monster. Quite embarrassing...

6. When did you start modeling?
My first modelling 'shoot' was way back in 1720...1721? I can't remember, obviously it was posing for paintings as the camera hadn't been invented then. I found that so hard to stay still for that amount of time unless I was upside-down. I used to have a real problem with necks, you see, I just had to nibble them constantly and I would get so twitchy if I couldn't nibble. But that only lasted a hundred years or so, by the time cameras were invented I had a very bad neck habit from all that hanging around so it took a couple of minuted to take the picture then I spent the rest of the time getting my neck fix.

7. What did you have to sacrifice to get to where you are today?
So much...my antique coffin collection had to go, being a model you are never at home and I had to pass them on to someone who would appreciate them. And my friends, they still speak to me but I think some are a little jealous.

8. Do you ever want to quit modeling?
When you're lying in the gutter surrounded by 19 corpses on a blood high for all that neck-nibbling you're on top of the world. The downer the next day though is unbelievable. I wanted to quit so many times...but somehow I just carried on.
I have managed to quit my neck habit, although I do keep a visual record in my notebook if you want to see...?

9. What is the hardest part about being a model?
*stares at Vickys neck whilst scribbling in notebook* Sorry sweetie didn't catch that. *puts notebook away*

9. What is the hardest part about being a model?
The hectic schedule, the sacrifices you give up for beauty, never having any time for yourself or your hobbies.

10. What is your advice for ghouls newly entering the hectic modeling world?
I agree with Jordan here - clean undies are a must! And breath mints.....not for oneself obviously but sometimes you have to get close to people who have rather unfortunate dental odours...

Rhonda sticks a worn book mark in her Sherlock Bones.

"Time for the interview?" She says to herself "Vicky Voltage! I've heard all about you!"

She sits down next to the ghoul.

"Ask away!"

1. Why do YOU think you could win ANTM?
I feel I appeal to the common-ghoul out there. I'm a quiet, nerdy ghoul who loves to read her spellbooks in a shadowy library. So I help ghouls realize that they don't have to be popular to be beautiful and special! I feel I could be a great role model to the younger generations if I were to win this competition. Oh, and being a top model would actually be great too. *giggles quietly*

2. What made you decide that you wanted to be the next big thing?
Well, you wouldn't think a bookish girl like me would get into modeling, but it's something I've always loved from afar. There's something magical about being a model and it can just put a spell on you I guess. And as I said before, I want to inspire more nerdy ghouls like me!

3. What do you do besides modeling?
Read, of course. *She smiles and holds up her book* But I also love to write. Since I'm still in high school I'm still learning, but I plan to go on and try to get my stuff published. Right now I'm working on a great scary human novel that takes place in Salem.

4. Who (or what) inspires you the most?
My auntie, and my mother. My mother passed away when I was young, and there's a story to go with that at a later time, but my auntie is a very big part of my life. She's taught me all that there is to being a witch and how to survive out in the world. She also sparked my should obsession. I don't know why though. *She shrugs with one shoulder*

5. Craziest photoshoot?
I could say all of them so far! But the first seems to be the craziest. Though I think that was my fault. I got a bit too excited with the other ghouls and made the next day on the set a bit...eventful. *she giggles again* The photographer even let me keep the outtake of that day.

6. When did you start modeling?
Honestly? When I heard about the competition. I had practiced a few times with friends, but they were all just fun little shoots. I got serious when I put my entry photos in.

7. What did you have to sacrifice to get to where you are today?
My kitty cat Fammi had to be left at home. I miss her so much. I guess that's not too much of a sacrifice, but with how attached I get to my familiars, it's like severing a limb!

8. Do you ever want to quit modeling?
Never! My auntie wants me to continue with the witch pursuits, but I'd rather be selling the hottest cloaks with my talents! Even when I publish my books, I hope to keep modeling up. *She beams*

9. What is the hardest part about being a model?
Not having enough time to yourself. I'm also tired from the shoots as well, so I lose time for reading and writing. I tried to concoct a anti-fatigue drought the other day and I ended up sleeping for almost a week! I almost missed the deadline shoot!

10. What is your advice for ghouls newly entering the hectic modeling world?
Just give it a try! If a ghoul like me can do it, so can you! And don't pack too much. Especially bags full of red shoes. The other girls are a bit annoyed with the amount of bags I've brought. *she laughs*

[JigglesTheCat]

I'm having so much fun with this 8D I just love reading all the replies.

[Ravie]

Percie pulls out her earbuds and raises an eyebrow. "My turn?" She shuts off her iCoffin and goes in for the interview.

1. Why do YOU think you could win ANTM?
Why wouldn't I win? I have what it takes. I can cat-fightwith the best of the divas in this industry and am more suited to most to scratching and clawing my way to the top.

2. What made you decide that you wanted to be the next big thing?
I'm tired of the misconceptions that Familiars are only as good as the witch they hang on to. I figure if my talents in one area are recognized, I can bring the focus on the fact that we don't need witches and it is in fact, just the opposite. I want to be a role model for young Familiars who think they're lot in life is being some sorcerers apprentice and little else.

3. What do you do besides modeling?
Magic and music. When our parents aren't making us study magic, I'm usually jamming with my twin sister. I also enjoy reading and learning obscure arcane languages. It's a challenge.

4. Who (or what) inspires you the most?
My mother. About, oh, a century or so ago she decided she was through being a lackey and decided to strike out on her own and do her own magic. Her strength of character and spirit inspires me to be the best that I can be, and let's face it, I'm already pretty clawsome.

5. Craziest photoshoot?
That would be the second shoot. Trash-bag chic in an actual pet cemetary. I expected to have vistors any moment. The crew was spooked they got out of there before dark. My picture may have suffered for their fear.

6. When did you start modeling?
I can't really remember. Professionally, never. But my parents are big-time snap shot takers and when my mother started her blog, Familiar Magic, she'd often use my sister and myself for the pictures she'd post of certain spell tutorials she'd put up.

7. What did you have to sacrifice to get to where you are today?
Sacrifice? I didn't have to sacrifice anything. I'm exactly where I want to be.

8. Do you ever want to quit modeling?
Doubtful. Even if I don't win this competition, I still have options. I'm the type of ghoul who makes her own destiny.

9. What is the hardest part about being a model?
Dealing with people. Creative minds often clash. I try to be mindful of who's wearing the boss pants, but sometimes other people get to big for themselves and need to be swatted back down.

10. What is your advice for ghouls newly entering the hectic modeling world?
Get used to having your fur rubbed the wrong way and try not to bite the hand that feeds you. It's not easy, and it's not always fun, but dig in your claws and never let go. That's all I can say.

1. Why do YOU think you could win ANTM?
When I set my mind on something, an avalanche cannot budge me.  I am true to myself and I think it shows in my work.

2. What made you decide that you wanted to be the next big thing?
I love challenge.  My people are hard workers, and I knew when I fell in love with modelling that I needed to be at the top of the mountain.

3. What do you do besides modeling?
I love ice sculpting, snowboarding, and watching old movies. 

4. Who (or what) inspires you the most?
Audrey Hepburn.  When the blizzards were too great to go outside, we would watch the old movies.  She made me see that life isn't all work, things can be fun and beautiful.  She is always so graceful and knows just what to say! 

5. Craziest photoshoot?
Craziest shoot would be the current challenge.  I cannot go into details, but there was problem with my comodel's position and he fell.  He didn't kiss where he was supposed to!  I turned purple from embarassment!

6. When did you start modeling?
At home me and my yeti sisters would pretend to be in the old movies.  I have always loved to perform and I am not afraid to have an audience. 

7. What did you have to sacrifice to get to where you are today?
I miss my homeland.  While I love getting to see so many people and places, my heart yearns for the ice and snow of my homeland.  I talk to my family often, which helps. 

8. Do you ever want to quit modeling?
Quit?!  What is this word?!

9. What is the hardest part about being a model?
The hardest part is understanding all of the strange things the crew says.  They tell me to do things that make no sense!  "Bring it!" "Bring what??"  Such silly phrases they have.

10. What is your advice for ghouls newly entering the hectic modeling world?
Take time to be quiet and alone.  It is far too easy to be wound up and confused, it's important to refocus and take care of your spirit.  It will show in your work!

[tuneful87]

Abbey, girl, you crack me the hell up!!!!!!!! You and your Yeti sisters - I want to see a family portrait. (In fact, you totally gave me an idea for a photoshoot....)

And I love how you snuck a photo of yourself in here. Always marketing yourself!!!

[Kalavista]

How fun!! Thanks for the opportunity, Vicki!
Here are Draculina's answers:

1. Why do YOU think you could win ANTM?
I have the passion!! I'm willing to work hard and spend hours on my shoots; I'm willing to step outside my comfort zone - anything to capture the perfect shot!

2. What made you decide that you wanted to be the next big thing?
Even if I'm not the next big thing, I just want to follow my dreams! I'll never stop modeling, no matter what!

3. What do you do besides modeling?
*giggles* I'm in a girls' vampire punk band! I perform under the name Lina Pink; here's my official costume:

(excuse my hair... this was snapped right after a concert!)

4. Who (or what) inspires you the most?
The greats. I dream of being on top of my game, like Janice Witchinson; creative and fierce like Tyra Fangs; cool as a cucumber, like Nigel; and if only I could emulate Keira Knifely's delicate beauty! *sigh* So much to die up to.

5. Craziest photoshoot?
Definitely this latest challenge, the Oceanic Kiss! Firstly I'm nowhere NEAR an ocean ... but I did find a quantity of messy wet sand to roll around in!
Honesty though, this shoot was SO good for me! It forced me to really think outside the box, and I'm SO happy with the result.

6. When did you start modeling?
Less than a year before entering ANTM. My first attempts were VERY basic! I'm really having to stretch and grow for this amazing competition.

7. What did you have to sacrifice to get to where you are today?
My music has suffered. Obviously modeling takes a lot of my time. But the band is strong; my older sister Vampressa (stage name!! it's really Draculana, but she hates that name) has filled in for me a few times. She's not as good a vocalist, but oooh is she smooth.

8. Do you ever want to quit modeling?
Sometimes. Especially when I compare myself to others - like Aria or Kalma or Abbey - heck, ALL the girls. They make it look so easy!

9. What is the hardest part about being a model?
The emotional aftermath of a really exhausting shoot. Fortunately, all my emotions after the "Oceanic Kiss" are SUPER positive, though!

10. What is your advice for ghouls newly entering the hectic modeling world?
Get ready to work REALLY hard and sacrifice. And DON'T get catty with your competition. These girls can be really amazing friends. Silly humans get SO mean. Fortunately we monsters work better together!
