| I caught up with our ultra-busy spokesmodel, who was in-between photo shoots in two different states, to ask a few burning questions. From our conversations, Ariel is witty, charming, and very straightforward. So naturally she was "game" for a brief interview designed to let all of you get to know her a little better. DP: OK, first for all the "bio-philiacs" out there. How old are you, where were you born and raised, and what are your measurements? Ariel: I'm 21 years old, turning 22 this summer. I was raised in the midwest, in a small town in Indiana. My measurements are 34B-24-32. DP: So... what do you do for a living? Ariel: Well, I'm a part time model - T&A stuff mostly, if you know what I mean. I've been working to appear in men's magazines most recently. Actually, right now I'm competing in an amateur contest for a major magazine. If I win I'll get a lot of money and publicity for my career so I'm pretty excited about it! I also run a pair of amateur pay-to-view websites. We provide fetish photos and video to fetishists via the internet. DP: Do you play video games, really? Ariel: I must admit that I definitely do, but not so much classic games. I'm really into PlayStation 2 games. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 are my fave games, & I also like Grand Theft Auto III. DP: Well those are great games, they'll be known as "classics" when you're my age! Do you remember the first video game you played? Ariel: That's an easy one! It had to be either Duck Hunt or Super Mario Bros. for NES - the first gaming system I ever owned. I swear, my brother & I used to wear out the Duck Hunt game! DP: Tell me about WAMbabes.com. Looks like an adult's Nickelodeon show. What brought that about, and how popular is it? Ariel: Well, being the internet entrepreneur that I am :) I'm always looking for new ventures to take part in. A good friend of mine got into it a couple of years ago and started a site. I was his first model & I stayed with his site for a while. Eventually I just decided to go out on my own. Our site is really popular in it's genre. I think I'd go so far as to say we are in the top 5 in our fetish. And we have a lot of fun with it. Like you said, it's like a Nickelodeon show, it makes you feel like a big kid! DP: Burning question (no pun intended)... how did you decide on the butterfly tattoo on the small of your back? Ariel: A lot of people ask me this question. I have two butterfly tattoos on my back and they do have personal meaning. A little over a year and a half ago my closest friend passed away. When she was alive we had nicknames for each other, mine was "Angel" and hers was "Butterfly". When she passed, the week after her funeral I got the small tattoo and later decided I wanted something bigger in remembrance of my best friend. DP: What a wonderful way to memorialize a great friend. Let me switch gears again here. Your work with Digital Press is great fun, and we've seen the banners to a few of your other sites there, are there more sites or products you pose for? Where can we see more Ariel? Ariel: Like I said, I'm mostly a T&A model, so I'm not going to rattle off a bunch of nudie websites! :) I will say that I appeared in my first major magazine - Gallery's "Girl Next Door Contest" - in February. I'm anxiously awaiting the results in August. If I win I'll be decorating the magazine and website of Gallery magazine frequently. DP: Well best of luck to ya! I've seen those contest pictures and all I have to say is… you win! Is it too late to vote? Ariel: Unfortunately, there's no voting process - or else I'd have every one of your visitors hitting the ballots! :) The contest is judged by the editors. DP: Tell me, if you were at a friend's house for dinner and found a dead cockroach in the middle of your plate, what would you do, hm? What WOULD YOU DO!? Ariel: That's a funny question, Joe, as I've had a similar experience... only worse. I was with one of my friends and her boyfriend one night and we went to another of their friend's house. This guy's house was disgusting! You could see dead roaches everywhere and I was freaking because there's no bug I despise more than roaches! So, Janine and I were sitting on the bed behind these guys while they played PlayStation and suddenly I felt a tickle in my head! I reached up and felt something that wasn't supposed to be there and I totally freaked out. A roach had fallen off the ceiling and into my hair! I started jumping up and down and slapping at my head and fanning my clothes. It fell on the floor & the guy who lived there nonchalantly stomped it dead. The next time we went there we both wore hoods! DP: Speaking of boyfriends, what's your idea of the perfect date? Ariel: I don't know. Models get asked that question a lot, too and I'm sure I'm not the only one who comes up with some silly answer about sunsets or candles. I'm not really into dating, I'm engaged :), so I just like to hang out at home watching movies, and going out of town and sightseeing are some of my favorite things. DP: If going out on the town and sightseeing are two of your favorite things, just wait until you see Vegas in August! So tell me. Anyone in the world, who would you most like to see NAKED? Ariel: Okay, a lot of people are going to groan, and a lot of people might be like "who's that?" but there's two: Vin Diesel & Ja Rule. Yummy! DP: Erm, let me re-word that. Any WOMAN in the world, who would you most like to see naked? Ariel: Woman? Well, that's no fun for me now is it? :) I'd have to say Penelope Cruz... but I think we already saw her naked in "Vanilla Sky". DP: How do you handle criticism? Ariel: I try to avoid it! Really, in the business that I choose to be in, there's times where you have to take a lot of criticism, and you just can't let it get you down. It bothers me sometimes, and I might fume a little bit, but I generally get over it pretty easily. DP: The internet is full of critics. It's easy to do when you can anonymously hide behind your computer. I find internet models especially courageous. Let me ask you, do you ever get recognized in public? Ariel: No, thank God! DP: I'll bet if you left the house wearing that Digital Press t-shirt you would! Or maybe with your hair dripping with strawberry jam? Speaking of which, what was the craziest photo shoot you've ever done? Ariel: Definitely our first video shoot with Nikki and Tequilla from WAMbabes. The three of us trashed my kitchen with about $200.00 worth of sweets and baked goods. We were a chocolatey mess! DP: Mmm... chocolate... Oh. Where was I? Oh yes. Ever get into trouble with the law? Ariel: That is a very out of place question! :) No way - I'm a law-abiding citizen :) DP: OK Ariel, thanks for spending some time letting everyone get to know you. What can Digital Press visitors expect from you in the near future? Ariel: Well, I guess a lot of that depends on what your creative mind thinks up! As for me, I'm going to keep plugging away same as I have been and keep chillin' with Digital Press! DP: Thanks darling. That's a wrap! Looking forward to your next set of pictures. You can catch Ariel at the DP booth and on the Expo floor at Classic Gaming Expo on August 10th & 11th. Be there! For more info, check out the CGE site. |
