CHAMP: We got Ms. Lora Leigh in the building! What’s up Lora?
Lora Leigh: Hell Yeahh! I’m good! Excited to speak to you guys!
CHAMP: Where do you hail from and how long have you been modeling for?
Lora Leigh: Right now I’m in London, England. I’ve been modeling on and off for about three years.
CHAMP: Are there any specific ads or videos that you have been in that people may recognize you from?
Lora Leigh: Hmm, I’ve worked on the new shoe campaign with Iron Fist recently, they are awesome!! Also I’m naked on the cover of one of your very own Canadian bands, Cauldrons new album, Chained Up In Chains, which I literally am!
CHAMP: Before you were doing the modeling thing what was Lora doing? Or still doing?
Lora Leigh: I’m in a rock and roll strip tease group called The Sirens! We perform this awesome stage show just about anywhere, the show is really wild it’s got fire breathing, aerial work, angle grinding, a bunch of mad crazy cars, and of course strip tease! It’s a lot of fun! This year along with a tonne of other things we opened the Golden Gods Mental Hammer awards in London and toured with rockers Steel Panther, we also take part on the Gumball Rally which drove through Canada this year but unfortunately we met it in NYC!
CHAMP: What’s your nationality?
Lora: Haha I’m a mix, my grandpa is Iranian and that’s my mums side, and my dad’s side is Italian. I’m sure there’s other stuff I don’t know ‘bout, everyone is always suggesting different things but as far as I know that’s all I got!
CHAMP: How’d you get started with the whole modeling thing?
Lora Leigh: I always wanted to be a model I actually used to want to be a playboy bunny! haha! I love the original glamour girls like Pammy. Right now England has gone a bit girl next door with the style in the magazines, but I’m determined to keep it killer sexy.
CHAMP: All my fellas definitely would like to know the answer to the golden question….Are you single?
Lora Leigh: Yes I am, this year particularly has been pretty hectic for The Sirens and we have been all over the place and I’ve been working my ass of so I haven’t really had time to chill out, so no boyfriend for me… hopefully in the future I’ll be able to juggle time a bit better though!
CHAMP: What’s the lamest thing a guy has ever done to impress you?
Lora Leigh: At the start of the year when it was really snowy in London me and the Sirens girls we’re crossing this road and some guy beeped his horn at us and was trying to look really cool and smashed into the car in front, and then the car behind hit him, it was the best outcome ever! I hate guys that beep the horn it’s fucking rude! Serves him right!
CHAMP: What was the craziest thing a guy has done for you that you thought was just amazing and actually impressed you?
Lora Leigh: Oww I actually feel a bit let down when I think about this question as I haven’t really even had anything dramatically impressive done for me! Our friend actually flew us out to NYC in May as a treat! That was a really lovely surprise! I love surprises and all that though if anyone ever feels like it!
CHAMP: On a music aspect. What’s Lora’s top three songs she’s feeling at the moment?
Lora Leigh: Uh Oh don’t get me started on music, I’m quite the rock chick. I’m going crazy for the new Avenged Sevenfold album, Nightmare and it just went number 1 in America so I’m obviously not alone! A lot of the songs I’m feeling at the moment I usually put straight into our show soundtrack to dance to, I am loving Maylene and Sons of Disaster, Every Time I Die, Papa Roach. I’m excited to hear the new Bring Me The Horizon stuff. As well as all that I’m actually the biggest Bruce Springsteen fan!
CHAMP: What’s a hilarious “On Set” story you can share with the people?
Lora Leigh: We were just filming a Sirens show reel last week in a really cool old garage, at the end of the day, we filmed this really sexy champagne show, but the bottles we had were wild, the corks were exploding and almost knocking lights out and shit, but when it came to filming it for real, I had the one bottle with the cork left in, I walked into shot and it projected out the top and hit Regan full speed in the boob! We had to stop filming until everyone could stop laughing; even the crew were rolling around on the floor stitches!
CHAMP: What project are you currently working on that we can expect?
Lora Leigh: I’m always working on new things, The Sirens is my main thing and always gets priority ‘causeI love it and we have really big plans for the group I’m really excited about for next year! So watch this space!
CHAMP: When are you gonna come up to Toronto and kick it with us out here?
Lora Leigh: Oh my god I’d love to come out with Sirens and do some shows!! I think it would go down so well!! We have never been to Canada so we have to get it sorted!
CHAMP: Where can the people follow you and be more up to date with everything going on with Lora?
