Our new model Simone spends her free time writing historical non-fiction and has a pet turtle named Daedalus, and I can't decide which fun fact makes me like her more! Get to know Simone here.
Your neighborhood (NY): Chinatown
Hometown: Baltimore!
Occupation: When I'm not modelling, I'm writing stories, taking pictures, and making movies, much of which is journalistic and focused on East Africa, and some of which is fiction.
Essential photo shoot song: "Marquee Moon" by Television
Most prized possession: Darryl Strawberry baseball card or my pet turtle, Daedalus
Best gift you’ve ever received: A Fruit of the Month Club gift!
What is something that everyone should try at least once? Stand-up comedy, it is scarier than sky diving
What's the most played song on your iPod? Currently, "Down in Mexico" by The Coasters or "Every Morning" by Sugar Ray
Favorite place to go to escape the city: If not home to Baltimore, then glued to the Ms. Pacman at the Ding Dong Lounge in Morningside Heights, or any of the beaches all year-round
If you were on a deserted island––5 necessities: Tiki torches, sand buckets, a hammock, daiquiri supplies, and a steel drum band
What's your spirit animal? Gazelle, elegant and skittish, or so I've been told
