Elle Ysais is a girl who knows exactly what she wants. You may not have seen her face too much before, but we're betting you'll be seeing it a whole lot more from now on. Her concentrations lie with the arrival of her very own clothing line, due out in the summer. She's got one tattoo on her lower back, claims to have no nasty habits and has a crazy fascination with anything Japanese. Oh, and I get the feeling she's a bit of a wild one.
2nr: Hey! It's you right?
Elle Ysais: Yes, this is me.
2nr: Cool, didn't want to make an ass out of myself in front of a really hot but random stranger!
EY: Haha!
2nr: So you just got done with a cover shoot for 2nr, we're honored to have you and it seems like you've got plenty of experience. Tell me how you got into modeling.
EY: I got into modeling when an artist asked me to be in his calendar and poster series.
2nr: Was it creepy, or did you know he was legit the whole time?
EY: I knew he was legit because I saw his portfolio and he seemed to be a very sweet guy. I'm a pretty good judge of character, I think.
2nr: That's good 'cause I've heard stories about girls that have gone back to some guys' "studio" just because he gave them a business card. Not cool.
EY: Yea, I'm paranoid about creepy guys too, so I'm very careful. You have to be in this industry. It was a legit office in Santa Monica.
2nr: How long ago was this then?
EY: Five years ago now.
2nr: Oh, so as a model, you got a bit of a late start then. Did you always want to go into modeling or was it just by chance?
EY: It was totally just by chance. I just do it for fun. I'm actually a clothing designer, and I even have my own line.
2nr: Awesome, tell me the details on it.
EY: It's a line of sexy and girlie active/lounge wear for women. It's designed for everything, from working out and sports to shopping and relaxing. The name is Lovcandy and it will be available in high-end gyms such as Equinox and Sports Club LA, as well as boutiques all over Los Angeles. The line will come out for Summer 2007. You can visit www.lovcandy.com for all the details.
2nr: Very cool I'd love to ask you how you got into that, but I highly doubt the guys give a shit!
EY: Haha! True
2nr: Yea, they'll just want to know if your boobs are real.
EY: They totally are! {winking} Draw your own conclusion!
2nr: What other work in the car industry have you done?
EY: Zero. This was my first time. The car was hot! It was fun to lay all over it. Probably my favorite prop to work with now!
2nr: Wow, we broke your cherry! That's quite an accomplishment! Cars are definitely sexy... I just wish they were more comfortable to have sex IN, know what I mean?
EY: Yea, one might get pretty bruised up in that thing trying to maneuver different positions.
2nr: I'm not ashamed to say I've had steering wheels and the gears off shift knobs imbedded in my thighs for two days.
EY: Niiiice! You should be proud!
