Who influences your modeling style? "My biggest influence is Marilyn Monroe. People often assume it was Betty Page, but I didn't know who she was until I started doing pinup. I think it's because of the hair style, but many don't realize that Asian women, especially Japanese and Korean, have been doing their hair like this for a long time. I struggle with my love for blond hair from time to time. I say struggle because I really shouldn't bleach my hair, it can't handle it very well. I'm happy to say I am back to my real hair color, and it's healthier than ever."
