Tell everyone a little bit about yourself...

Hello! I’m Rebecca, a model residing in North London. I like reading, greyhounds and pole dancing!

Favourite 3 albums of all time?

Horses by Patti Smith, London Calling by The Clash, Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake.

iPhone or Blackberry?

I’ve never had either, I’m not much of a one for technology. What was wrong with a Nokia 6310!?! Reliable, a strong battery and snake.

Top 3 blogs?

Miaowmix.blogspot.com | weareallinone.blogspot.com | bronzeblog.com (Gwilym Gold’s my housemate so got to say that one!)

Meat or veg?

Ooooh fooooood! I bloody love meat….especially sausages, preferably sandwiched between two large fillets of rare steak with a sprinkling of bacon bits on top, garnished with a pork pie….but I couldn’t live without roasted veg, especially sweet potato.

So, we do kicks. Kicks is what we do. What were your first pair?

I desperately wanted a pair of those trainers that light up! Can you get adult ones? Reebok Classics were my first. I’d wear them with jeans and denim jacket….double denim….nice!

With that in mind, (or maybe not!), who’s your style icon?

Am I allowed a couple? I like Cat Power and Kate Bush. The former is admirably plain-clothed, the latter is admirably bonkers, and neither gives two hoots what I, nor any of you, think of it.

OK, turning to work… you have a chance to work with anyone you want, who? Why?

If we could bring back Irving Penn….he seemed to get something a little bit magic and bittersweet from his subjects. Also: David Attenborough. It makes me sad that if I have kids, it’ll be a world without David in which they live. Helium will’ve run out by then too – double bummer.

Where do you find inspiration?

Literature. I find my thought processes are really influenced by whatever book I’m reading at the time. So if it’s Steinbeck I walk around making internal astute observations on the human condition. Bukowski and I’m a world-weary misanthrope. If I’m reading Harry Potter, I’m chuckling at muggles and summoning patronus charms.

Now from work, to play: where can we find you in the summer time?

THORPE PARK!!! The park or a beach, playing rounders, catch or dress-up-in-seaweed and getting tipsy on spiced rum in the eve.

Actually let’s better that, if you had to go and live in another country FOREVER, where would you fly & why?

What a good question! I think I’d go with America, because it’s so vast and varied and contrasting, you could explore it forever.

Can you speak any languages?

When I’ve lived in cities like Paris, Tokyo and Athens, I have always picked up enough to get by. At least “do you speak English/would you please help me?” just to be polite. I learnt there’s no point in learning how to ask directions, as you won’t understand the response, and have to politely nod while they answer you at great length.

So, if you were stuck there, you couldn’t leave – what song would keep you going nuts?

That’s tricky. I think I’ll have to go with All Night Long by Lionel Richie! Not too melancholy, not too hyper, and whoever doesn’t like it isn’t worth knowing.

Err, what kind of nuts?

CASHEWS! Take them away before I eat the lot. Have you had the ones covered in caramel? Don’t tell my agency about that…

And you’re still there, still stuck in the perfect abyss - what could you just not live without?

OMG HARD! Foodstuff, toiletry, technology or media? I’d have to say my Mac then – it’s got films, music, pictures and there might be a random free wireless in this abyss so that I can order my cashew nuts, sweet potato, sausages and Pixi skincare.

OK, you’re out of solitary confinement, let’s have some fun - what's the first thing you notice on a bloke?

His bone structure – oooh I’m a sucker for an amazing pair of cheekbones and a good, strong nose!! Superb nose-bearers include Eugene Hutz, James Dean and Vincent Gallo. Hawt.

And on fellow girls, what do you check out?

Eyes. It’s personal opinion but I think women give away more through their eyes than men do – emotion, vulnerability and whatnot. Maybe women are less guarded because they think make up acts as a mask. Maybe I’m reading too many cod psychology books at the moment.

Everyone’s got someone right – so who’s the person you find hot but you really shouldn't?

Sirius Black in Harry Potter! Rupert Grint. And every incarnation of Dr Who.

OK, work done, play is over. That was quick. Finishing up, mature hats at the ready – looking back, if you could give a younger version of yourself advice, what would it be?

I was thinking about this the other day. Stop getting drunk and pulling ugly chavs in shitty clubs, you’ll get glandular fever. Wear your retainer more religiously. Stop trying to be all things to all people, you don’t have to be super-nice all the time – embrace the lazy, devious bitch that’s inside you as well!

So finally, you may have already achieved a lot, you may have plenty more dreams to fulfill… but years down the line – how do you want your epitaph to read?

Oh gaaaawd! A loving and loyal friend. Too dog-ish? I like this one… "Here lies an atheist. All dressed up and no place to go."
