A new month with a new Sleeping Beauty, raising the class of the magazine a little with some style and aesthetic appeal.

This month’s new Beauty is Spook, a model and performer from Surrey. Spook is talented with fire including fire breathing, eating and dancing and striptease *faints*.

Sorry... bit of a funny turn then... Spook is also aiming to learn the ways of the circus in hopes of joining the Circus Of Horrors on tour. Dont take my word for it, have a look at what she had to say for her lovely self:

(SWM) What made you decide to become an alternative model? Was there a moment when you thought – this is worth a shot?

(S) My biggest moment modelling wise was probably my first ever shoot which was for the cover of Gorerotted's last album- A New Dawn For The Dead which I was asked to do when I was just 14. I was asked to do the cover by Mick Kenney of Anaal Nathrakh. It was simply a case of 'You look like you could do this, Want to be on an album cover?'! After that I received more offers from companies and agencies and decided to go for it. I don't particularly like mylooks but in the long run it's more about portraying emotion through images and having fun!

(SWM) Do you have any influences or stars that have inspired your style?

(S) I like to create my own style more than anything so I'd say no. However, As far as style goes in my world I use horror in every element I can.

(SWM) What drink satisfies Spook?

(S) Pear Koppaberg is the best drink you can find. How lady-like eh?

(SWM) What are your favourite bands?

(S) Of all time Pantera will always be a favourite as well as the amazing Rob Zombie. But currently I'm listening to a lot of Marduk, Mayhem, Carcass and Type O Negative. I like my variety!

(SWM) You have done a lot of dance including ballet, has this helped a lot?

(S) Funnily enough I did a hell of a lot of ballet when I was younger and still dance in performances. And I suppose that does help with body-shape and movement in modelling. But helps more with my performance and circus skill work!

(SWM) I can see it now! *tries not to faint again* So what’s the future for Spook?

(S) More work, More play, More blood, More gore. As always!

There you have it guys- Spook is our newest Sleeping Beauty and we are proud to have her on board. There is a host of talented individuals in the UK alternative world and we want to make a show and dance over as many as possible! Thank you Spook, good luck with the next stage of your career, hope to see you grace these pages again soon!
