Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Courtney Crave; I’m model and burlesque performer from Germany now living in Dallas, Texas. I’m fluent in English and German, I love kids cartoons, and I hate bananas.

What made you get into modeling?

I always wanted to model and dabbled in modeling as a teen and then began doing it seriously after I finished getting my psychology degree when some photographers approached me at a local alternative club.

What do you enjoy about modeling?

It’s fun! You get to create different characters and work with lots of different people and travel the world.

What about nude modeling?

I do a lot of nude modeling. I’m very comfortable naked and you never have to think about what to pack for a shoot.

Worst part of modeling?

Not getting images back. It’s amazing how often photographers will either wait a year or longer or sometimes even never send you photos.

Do you have any tattoos? If so where and what of?

Yes! My entire back is tattooed with birds, plumeria blossoms, and a Japanese goldfish. I also have the German words “Liebe” and “Leide” in script on the backs of my thighs, which mean “Love” and “Suffer” respectively.

What's your best asset?

I’d like to think that I’m pretty darn smart and funny. I don’t think people expect that of a blonde with big fake boobs.

Worst?

I’m always late. Always. It’s terrible, no matter what I do to be on time I always end up about 15 minutes late.

What are three technological things you cannot live without?

My iphone, the internet, and my “back massager”.

How do you relax?

By reading horror novels, lounging at the pool with a cocktail, or doing yoga.

Top three things that annoy you?

Lazy grammar (U instead of you, 4 instead of for, etc.), realizing there’s only enough milk for half your bowl of cereal after you’ve already poured it, and being woken up before my alarm.

Top three things that make you happy?

Kittens, swimming, and fine dining. Three sure fire ways to cure any bad day.

What is your favourite video game?

I really love all the Raving Rabbids game (especially Rabbids Go Home). Primarily because they’re super silly and a mixture of puzzle, action, and cute bunnies screaming and attacking people.

If you could go back in time and visit yourself at age 10, what would you say?

“The Mega Millions winning lottery numbers for the largest jackpot in history on March 30^th, 2012 are…”

On the other hand, if you could go into the future and visit yourself 80, what would you ask?

“What do you regret?” That way I could change it.

Married, relationship or Single?

Relationship.

What do you look for in a guy?

Sense of humor, cultured, and good teeth.

What is your favorite movie?

I can’t narrow it down to just one, so here are my top three: One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, The Last Unicorn, and Spaceballs.

Favourite Music?

Depends on my mood. I listen to everything from Broadway musicals to 80’s hair metal to classical to euro-pop to psychobilly. Just no country…

Favourite Food?

I love food. I can’t live without cheese.

Favourite Colour?

Pink or black. That pretty much describes my whole closet.

Favourite TV Show?

Criminal Minds, I can watch marathons of it over and over. I’m also really into X-Files even though it’s off the air and still watch all the reruns.

Favourite Animal?

Cats. And snakes! I almost went to school to be a herpetologist, but I got a psychology degree instead.

Your motto for life?

Eat, drink, and be merry. I’m very hedonistic, life is too short to not be enjoying every minute of it.

Do you have a fan site like twitter, myspace or facebook?

Yes! Thank you for asking! My website in progress is www.courtneycrave.com. My blog site packed with photos and daily shenanigans is www.germandreamgirl.com. You can also stalk me on twitter (www.twitter.com/CourtneyCrave) and facebook (www.facebook.com/GermanDreamGirl).

What does the future hold for you?

My magic 8 ball still isn’t clear on that. Hopefully more tattoos, lots of traveling, a few trips to Europe, and lots of time spent by a pool this summer.

Ten words or less for your fans?

You guys rock! Your support gives me warm fuzzies inside.

Lastly, any scoops for our readers?

I should have some fun new magazine publications coming out this summer! Keep an eye out on Atomic Bombshells, Bachelor Pad, Retro Lovely Taboo, and Skin & Ink. I also have a role in an independent horror film short that should be out this fall called Survivor Girl.
