KIRSTIN MICHELLE
Best advice you ever received?
the best advice I've ever received was from my current therapist when i first started seeing her, and she said “if you can’t control it or change it, let it go.” i think ive always been a bit of a control freak because for so long, i was out of control. and needing to control every variable in life is neither helpful nor healthy. let the world spin, do what you need to do to be okay with it spinning. but you don't always get to be in control of everything but yourself.
Favorite food?
I don't think I'm fully able to narrow it down to one food that’s a favorite. growing up, my dad made sure we were well rounded & liked all sorts of things. my favorites are stuck between southern cuisines, or any Asian territory’s cuisines.
Favorite part of a mans body?
I’m a huge on eye contact, so I think my favorite would have to be their eyes. second favorite is totally hands though, especially if they work out & have veins going through!
Favorite part of your body?
yet again i’m gonna be a sucker for eye contact, so i’ll say my eyes. i love the color of my eyes, and ive been told i “look into people’s souls” before. eye contact is a very powerful thing when you know how to utilize it
Turn ons?
some of my favorite turn ons are simple things, like if you smell good, your hygiene is clearly good, eye contact, light touches, etc etc. there’s more fun than you’d think in the simple things if you look for it
Turn offs?
some of the worst turn offs has got to be poor hygiene, disrespect, high levels of insecurity, or even just something as simple as being boring. if i dont feel alive when with you & talking to you, chances are high that it wont be going anywhere
You're our #modelcrushmonday, who is yours?
if i had to pick one girl for #modelcrushmonday it would be one of my dear friends & colleagues, Emmaleigh. she’s young, but she reminds me so much of myself when i was starting modeling at that age. she’s insanely smart & kind, while also getting her thing done & looking AMAZING doing so. i can 100% see her going far
Best part of making love? Besides the obvious.
obviously most people would say the orgasm is the best part, but personally…? the foreplay is where its at. if you think you’re getting a woman excited OR if you think they’re getting off just to you jackhammering…. you’re very wrong lol
You feel sexiest when?
i feel sexiest two times, when im fully done up & ready to go, and then right after my morning/evening shower. its a blessing to be able to look over the body i was given & finally be in a place where im happy & confident with it
Favorite place to be touched?
my favorite place to be touched is probably any of my limbs, or my neck. my neck is insanely sensitive to anything & everything! light touches, just letting me know you’re there, are my favorite
Least place to be touched?
my least favorite would probably have to be my feet. unless you’re massaging them, what the heck are you doing with them?? leave them alone!
Craziest place you've ever done "it"
i think my craziest/worst place was probably a park slide at 2 AM. i was hanging out with this guy, and one thing led to another, but we were out at a park & didnt have many options. needless to say, we made it work!
Do you have a sexual bucket list? Anything you want to share?
i think the only thing on my “bucket list” in this aspect, would be travel sex. having sex in wild, foreign places that we’ll never see again but wanted to mark as our own.
Describe the perfect date.
the perfect date, to me atleast, isnt as much about the activities, as it is the person taking me. kindness, respect, compassion, and communication are all things i look for & if those arent present, it will be nowhere near perfect. but……. a nice restaurant & a park at a view never hurt anyone either.
What kind of reaction do you get when you tell people you're a model?
when i tell people i model, i get a mix of reactions. most slightly expected it from my conversations, so they’re just pleasantly surprised they were right, and then happy to get into conversation about it. most people are very supportive of it also. i do come from a very religious & strict background, so my modeling doesn’t always “fly” with my family members, but they know i’m doing what i love & being safe while doing so.
As a model, how do you deal with the collateral drama of your profession? Like dating?
so far i have actually had a pretty recent crappy encounter when it comes to my modeling and dating. my most recent ex had issues with his own insecurities & infidelity, and he poured those into my modeling to try and hinder it. i know at the end of the day who i am & what i do, and i know that one day someone will love me & respect me & everything i come with
Describe the atmosphere when you're on a shoot. Do you play music? Do you talk with the photographer in between shots?
I'm a huge talker, but i can also be quite awkward at first as well, which my words will try to make up for. i love music during shoots, but i also love communicating with photographers & such of what is needed from me, whats looking good, etc. once the conversation & the shoot get to rolling, it becomes less awkward on my part & more “lets get her done and done well”
If you could go back in time and talk to the young you when you started modeling, what advice would you give yourself?
if i could go back and tell myself one thing, it would be to protect myself & my dreams. i allowed too many times, and too many people to walk all over me/my hopes and aspirations. ive been modeling for almost 5 years this year, and some of the girls i started with, i did not end with, and i think if i could go back & warn myself to simply just be careful, i would
