TANIA KOVAK
Best advice you ever received?
“What’s meant for you will always find you. “
Favorite food?
There’s something magical about tacos and beer.
Favorite part of a mans body?
I think there are different parts on everyone that outshine, but I can’t look away when I see a man with big arms/chest. A guy that looks like he can bench press me is an immediate yes … please.
Favorite part of your body?
I love my figure overall. I like that I’m small and petite but have plenty of curves to keep both hands full.
Turn ons?
Chemistry.
Turn offs?
Arrogance.
You're our #modelcrushmonday, who is yours?
Best part of making love? Besides the obvious.
Besides the obvious? There’s usually food after.
You feel sexiest when?
I’m in front of a camera.
Favorite place to be touched?
Neck/collar.
Least place to be touched?
Face. I don’t think I’ve ever met a man that doesn’t get the ick from that. Unless it’s like a passionate kiss but even then, keep it to a minimum.
Do you have a sexual bucket list? Anything you want to share?
No bucket list. I think when you’re with the right part it’s a vibe. Planning or holding standards seems like the opposite of what sex should be- real time connection and enjoyment.
Describe the perfect date.
Good food, bottomless wine, and endless conversation .
As a model, how do you deal with the collateral drama of your profession? Like dating?
When it comes to modeling, it can be hard to date. When you have a lot of followers online, people act like they know you or they want you with out knowing you. You have to have a lot of discernment. Going out, everything is behind VIP areas etc, so people don’t really approach. I did try online dating but it was overwhelming and a lot of people thought I was fake or looking for followers.
Describe the atmosphere when you're on a shoot. Do you play music? Do you talk with the photographer in between shots?
Always play music! Gotta get a vibe for the theme of a shoot. I’m a total goober most of the time, I don’t take myself too seriously. We joke and laugh and have a good time. Most of the photographers I work with have become good friends, so it’s always super chill!
If you could go back in time and talk to the young you when you started modeling, what advice would you give yourself?
I would tell her to travel more. I’ve met so many amazing models and photographers being in vegas. I would have loved to spend more time traveling and discovering other creatives when I was younger.
