Do you feel the industry is competitive and catty?

"Not at all! I love the camaraderie that I have with the other women. It's really nice to have someone you can relate to who really gets the entire process. I have established some really amazing friendships."
How do you wind down after a shoot or show — like tonight?
"It really depends on how I'm feeling — but I can tell you it's really hard to wind down after a show! A night like tonight has a great vibe and good people, so I'll probably head out for a little fun. There are some great places in Wicker Park where I live. Lately, I'm loving this new place called the Emporium Arcade Bar. It's fun because they brought back all the old-school video games. It's packed on the weekends though, so we generally only go during the week."
