DEFTONES. I saw you tweeted about them on your twitter. What was the story behind that tweet, did you get a chance to see them live, were you just rocking out to their latest record or what?



I saw them live when they played at the Shepards BushEmpire in London my third time this year. They never disappoint!

Fav Deftones song?



Can I have two? I couldn't possibly pick just one... Knife Party or Cherry Waves.

Alright, now that we've got that over with. Let's take a look at the phenomenon that is Ms Vikki Blows. So, the story is you go to school, you get into a spot of trouble and get kicked out. Next thing before you know it you're gracing the pages of Maxim, FHM, FRONT (along with a bunch of other publications) all the while doing similar stuff to what you did to get kicked out of school in the first place. How did that happen!?



Apparently it was always meant to be!

Was modelling something you were always passionate about?



Not always but its definitely a fun job to have.

You've noted Dita Von Teese as one of your inspirations. And I'm pretty sure you're down with Rose McGowan. How have these women influenced you? Any other influences?



I wouldn't say they've influenced me as such. I just think they're fucking cool. Rose McGowan as Cherry Darling. So good.

FHM has a video up entitled Vikki Blows Wants to Make You an Indie Kid." Are you hip to the indie scene? Any perhaps lesser known bands you've been rocking out to that you'd like to share with us?



I'm totally not hip to the indie scene but a newish 'indie' band I've been listening to recently are called Friends. Also, not indie but if you havent already checked out Crosses, Chino's side project.

I noticed you were recently in Toronto. Do you mind me asking what brought you to our side of the Atlantic? Any Canadian connections in the Blows heritage?



I'm relocating there in the very near future. I might wait til after the winter though....

World domination. It's a good goal to have. What are your plans moving forward?



Watch this space!

THANK YOU. NEVER QUIT.
