Interview with the alternative, very beautiful Kari Ursulescu!
BSK-Ok so I have been facinated with your work for some time .. what got you into modelling?
Kari-Thank you!
It was actually kind of a fluke. A friend of mine was a photographer that was wanting to work on his portfolio. So we decided to try a few pin up shoots together. ..which went fairly well. Some time after that, a photographer (whose work I'd been following) contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in shooting...so I agreed! And thst opened up my eyes to a different world! One shoot lead to another...
BSK-As an "alternative" model with tattoos what has been your experience with the social media you are used to?
Kari-Well it's definately been interesting to say the least.
Facebook is a very strange place! I've definitely had very positive, encouraging feed back from friends, family and strangers. Facebook is great for networking and meeting new people, which has been pretty interesting In the best of ways.
But, I've also had a few negative experiences ...which I don't take too seriously. some people are way to upright and like to press the "report"button any chance they can get lol.
I've used Model mayhem as well which another fantastic place to meet like minded people. I get more of a reaction for the lack of clothing I tend to (not) wear than about being tattooed.
BSK-You have what I call the great alternative look , in most of your pictures you encompass the full range of your industry. When did you get your first attoo?
Kari-Thank you very much
I was 14 when I got my first tattoo...not alot of thought went into it lol. It was a small heart with roses.how original? Lol
I've been hooked since and have spent the last 8.5 years tattooing my body and turning it into my own canvas.
BSK.. I was also 14 when I got my first tattoo .. how was it for you? mine sucked lol
Kari -I remember that it was not nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be! I must like pain or something because I truly look forward to my next sessions!
BSK-What is the plan for your future in modelling?
Kari-I'm meeting with a photographer who I've worked with a few times now, in the next few weeks to discuss possible shoots for magazine submissions. He is a published photographer and has tons of his work in books, tattoo and fetish magazines etc . Hopefully something can come of that and I'll have the chance to show off some of this ink!

BSK-What is your favorite outfit for a shoot?
Kari-I prefer anything with a pinup touch. I've always loved the 40s/50 Era but with a more modern edge to it. I also prefer anything minimal, I've never been a fan of clothing lol and I like to show off as much ink as I can
BSK-Well no one can argue with that .. Ink on hot girls is key in my mind .. My final question that everyone likes is , what would you do if there was a zombie apocalypse ??
Kari-That's key in my mind as well!
If there was a zombie apocalypse I think I'd probably be a screwed to be honest. ..unless my days of watching Walking Dead pays off and I surprise myself with some epic moves . My roommate also has a bow and arrow and a bunch of guns...maybe I'll be ok after all lol.
BSK-LOL yeah I would probably go down like a rock in that situation haha .. Thanks for chattin with me!
Kari-I most likely would too damn it!!.thank you!!
BSK-It is my honor!
Cheers! BSK!
