Barin' Erin - Erin Lee Stephans

2NR: Are you a romantic?
ELS: No.

2NR: What would you do to impress a guy?
ELS: Impress a guy?

2NR: You know, you like some guy... let's call him "Joel," and he doesn't notice you. What would you do to get "Joel" to notice you?
ELS: I'd just walk straight up to the guy and say "Hi. What are you doing later? Lets do something."

2NR: That's pretty straight-foreword, and so detailed.
ELS: Well when I go out, I dress up kinda 80s punk-fishnets, hot pink, belts and boots.

2NR: Most guys would see you walking up from across the room anyway. That steelo ain't exactly camouflage. Can you describe the guy you'd walk up to?
ELS: I like 'em rough. Long spiky hair, a goatee; some type of facial hair. I like light-eyes. Tall. He doesn't necessarily have to be built, but he's got to have tattoos. He's got to have a job, but money isn't important. I'm very independent. I've got my own money thank you very much! He can't be insecure because I don't deal with drama too well, like if I were to hurt their feelings or something like that. They need to get over it. Life goes on.

2NR: "Get over it" or "Deal with it" are one of the few lines that bug most people.
ELS: I totally agree. But don't mean shit if you know I'm going to do it anyway. You pretty much see what you get.

2NR: Pretty strong.
ELS: Yeah I know. That's why I don't have long relationships. Guys don't usually dig it. Guys get possessive or whiney.

2NR: Reeeallyyy? How will the guy really know that you're into him?
ELS: You'll get the hint that I'm not tired of you yet if want to see you. You'll notice that I'll call you, and if I talk to you when you call me, we're good.

Interruptions always seem to end the conversation. This time was no different. Polite banging on the dressing room door was the difference this time. I normally expect Jason to barge in and bark out something indecipherable with his Brit-boy accent. Oh well. New studio, new photographer, new types of shots. New cut off time. I took down her number and told her I'd call her to wrap up the rest of the interview later. It was a late shoot that ended at 1 am on a hump day. I tried to call her but she wasn't havin' it. I'm over it now.
