What is sexy to you?

Sexy to me is definitely confidence. It’s not necessarily about what you’re wearing or how you look, it’s about how you walk into a room. Not cockiness, that’s different, just confidence is very, very sexy.

Do you think you’re sexy?

I think I’m sexy. Yeah.

If you had to describe yourself physically to someone who hasn’t seen you, how would you describe yourself?

Usually people when they are describing me, they use the word “exotic”, so I think that would be one of the most overused adjectives to describe me. I’m also petite, tan, and exotic. Cat-like I’ve heard too.

When I was younger people used to say I looked like Shakira, but I think that’s just because of the hair. We both have wild blonde hair. But that’s the only person I’ve been compared to physically.

What is your nationality? Your background?

I’m Cuban and Brazilian.

What is that culture like?

I was raised in Miami, Florida and a lot of people here are Cuban. And there aren’t too many Brazilians that I’ve come across here. So I’ve grown up around the Miami lifestyle. A lot of fun and dance, a lot of partying, very friendly people. It’s a fun culture.

What kind of guys do you like?

I like musicians, just artists in general. Guys that have a passion for something that’s creative. I’m very intrigued by that. Guys that are talented and very artistic and just look at the world in a different light. Guys that are intelligent. Guys that like to read and think. I’m not really into the partying type of guy, I like guys that like to stay home and are more creative and take you on exciting dates.

What would be a perfect date?

Something exciting, like jet skiing, or a guy would want to take scuba lessons with me. Something interesting like that.

When you’re posing in front of the camera, what is going through your mind?

What type of music do you listen to?

I listen to everything, it just depends on what type of mood I’m in. My favorite band is Garbage, it’s a grunge band from the 90’s. I also like a lot of trip-hop, Gold Frap and Massive Attack, they are more popular over in Great Britain.
