What were you doing when scouted? On my way to go eat at Free State (Brewing Co.)

Describe your style: Fearless, unique, eclectic and bold. I dress to inspire.

Fashion trends you love: I really love rocking a good statement piece, because I feel like you can dress it up, dress it down — so something like a big chunky necklace or a cuff. I also really love going into fall having a great leather jacket. I think it’s important to have those statement jacket pieces.

Fashion trends you hate: Leggings as pants, that’s a big one for me. The girls who go to the club and wanna wear the dresses that are, like, two sizes too small and a generation behind what they should actually be wearing — so age-appropriate, I would say, is another big one. And I think everyone tries to kind of dress similarly, and it’s really much more fun when you can just let go and be free with how you express yourself.

Fashion influences: Definitely (Lady) Gaga, Pharrell Williams, Lenny Kravitz, Rihanna; someone who’s kind of bold and has a very distinctive look about them.

What are your favorite and least favorite things about Lawrence? My favorite things about Lawrence would be the food, the people-watching and all the trees that cover Mass. I like to watch them change as the fall goes on. My least favorite: the bros, raging bros, Brothers (Bar & Grill), and all the sports paraphernalia.

Tattoos or piercings: Septum piercing; … I think I have about 10 tattoos now. An embryo, Libra symbol, a fly, “Fearless,” a unicorn bust, a cross, the word “Art,” Roman numerals … I really, really love my embryo, and it’s symbolic of my mother who’s constantly rebirthing and changing herself, so I wanted to get something to sort of remind me of that every day.

Whom do people say you look like? I have gotten Lenny Kravitz a couple times; I’ve gotten Johnny Depp a couple times; Adam Lambert sometimes when I dress a little edgier.

Tell us a secret: I’ve been told I have a very deep belly button by multiple doctors.
