January Model of The Month! Kerosene Deluxe!

We're starting off the year with some dangerous curves!
Meet Kerosene Deluxe!
Name: Kerosene Deluxe Age: 27 Height: 5ft3 Measurements: 38-32-42
1. When did you start your career?
In 2001
2. What kind of model are you (glamour,fashion,alternative,everything)? 
Plus Size Alternative and Glamour

3. What are you hobbies,favorite movie,favorite music,etc? 
Traveling the world, listening to music, horror movies, vaudeville and theater, going to live concerts and fine dining.
4. Is modeling your full time job?
No, I'm also a Make Up Artist and Body Positive Activist
5. What do you know now that you wish you did when you 1st started modeling? 
Not necessarily in modeling but in life; to never compare yourself to others and be the best you can be.
6. Where do you want to take your modeling in the future? 
Where ever the road takes me
7. Who is your favorite photographer,model,designer?
I have so many it would be impossible to name them all! I have a lot of respect for people whom have made it in this business through hard work, kindness and professionalism and a true passion for their craft. I'm a big fan of fashion! I love Alexander McQueen & Thierry Mugler, 
8. What was your best & worst experience as a model? 
It is really unfortunately when shoots take unplanned turns out of your control or you deal with someone unprofessional or unpleasant. This industry can be cruel and when I first started out the mean comments and critiques were sometimes difficult to digest. The best experience has been working with wonderful people from all over the world, sharing my craft, talking to fans and hearing their stories. I am truly grateful for all that and more..
9. Whats your dream modeling gig? 
I would LOVE to work with photographer/genius Dave LaChapelle or shock the industry by modeling for high fashion designers.(McQueen, Mugler, Westwood) It would just be really funny jiggling across the runway at 5 ft 2 amongst tall svelte super models. Especially if I got to wear something form-fitting or skimpy, lol! I would also love to meet and work with Betsey Johnson, she seems like such an amazing person and I love her kitschy aesthetic. 
10. What advice would you give a new model entering the industry? 
Don't take critique too personal, always be kind, courteous, modest and professional. It's a small world...
What are YOUR top 10 must have's for your model bag?
* Make up kit (I always do my own make up)
* Small hairstyling kit (Kevin Murphey's dry shampoo, bobbypins, hairspray, elastics, brush and teasing-comb)
* SOS manicure kit (small nail scissors, mini nail file, clear nailpolish + the polish I'm wearing at that moment)
* A pair of black high heels
* 2 sets of matching lingerie (bra + panty. 1 black set, 1 fun or neutral set)
* 1 black underbust corset/waist cincher (adds instant drama to a photo, works with all clothing or no clothing)
* Stockings (usually fully fashioned nude ones with a black back-seam)
* Cell phone (though turned off during the shoot)
* Coconut water and some kind of light snack (usually raw almonds or cashews)
* Make Up wipe
