Raven-maned ravisher Stasia Suicide is a musician, model, mother, and one of the most lethally sexy pin-up vixens on SuicideGirls.com. We first became aware of Stasia when she was living in Chicago last year, bringing true talent and raw heat to the Windy City with every new project she took on.
Since relocating to the West Coast, Stasia has ramped up all aspects of her career and continues to astonish.
She sat down with MrSkin.com and answered some questions about her unique approach to life, love, and the pursuit of sexiness.
I always sang but didn't start actually making music until the summer of 2001. I was discovered by a Chicago producer at a show that I was performing at in the Midwest. He asked me if I would like to move to Chicago and join a house full of fellow rappers, producers, singers, etc. to work together as a collective and create various music projects.
I gladly accepted and moved to Chicago instantly. There is where learned the tools to produce my own music. The first program I started creating with was Reason 1.0; now I'm up to Reason 3.0, and I'm still loving it. Currently I am working on two new albums: a hip-hop record, as well as a down-tempo record. They are both set to release next summer, so look out for them.
The title of the movie is "In My Car," directed by Stasia Bray--my real name. As far as for this year, I am going to be managing my new fianc?He is an Atlanta DJ by the name of Prince Presto. I'm stealing him from Atlanta and bringing him to Hollywood with me this month. He's going to tear L.A. apart, so look out!

Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Southern California, in both San Diego and Hollywood. What was that like? It was quite an experience; I got to see a lot at a very young age. Maybe it caused me to grow up a little too fast, but I am glad now that I saw what I did so young, because I learned a lot quicker about life than most of my friends. It was so beautiful too, amazing weather and interesting people--never a dull moment.What were the key artists/music/movies/inspirations that initially awoke you to an adventurously creative life?
I was quite fascinated with the 1950s at a very young age. My mother loved Marilyn Monroe (Picture: - ) and taught me about vintage clothing at a very young age. Then of course Madonna (Picture: 1 - 2) came along and I was hooked! She was like a punk-rock Marilyn Monroe, the best of both worlds. I was also highly intrigued by any music that had soul: James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, hell, even Michael Jackson!How did you get involved in making music, and what are you working on now?
I always had a fascination with music. My father was an amazing musician, he could play virtually anything--and still can! So it was natural for me to head in that direction.I always sang but didn't start actually making music until the summer of 2001.

You are a multimedia artist. We know about your music and your modeling. Tell us about some other fields that you've been exploring.
Well, to be honest I stay so busy with the music and modeling that I find it hard to even keep up with those things. But I did write, direct, and star in a short film that debuted at the Second Annual Ana?Nin Video Diary Festival last may. That was fun. You can view it at Muzility.com.The title of the movie is "In My Car," directed by Stasia Bray--my real name.

How important is the internet in your life, both personally and professionally?
As sad as it is to admit, the internet is my life. Everything I do--whether it be music, modeling, acting, directing--it all comes from the internet. You don't want to know me on the days where my internet goes down. It's not pretty.Tell us the story of each of your tattoos. What do they mean? How did you decide on them?
There isn't enough time in the day for that. But I did just do an article for Skin Ink magazine in the November 2006 issue, page 78. The WHOLE story is in there, you should check it out.How did you become a Suicide Girl? In what specific ways has it changed your life?
One of my friends on MySpace asked me if I was a Suicide Girl one day in an email. I had never heard about it so I looked into it, contacted Missy Suicide--she interviews the girls and runs a huge part of the site--and they liked my look, I had an interview, and the rest is history. It hasn't changed my life at all, but it has helped get me a lot of free clothes, and it's been a great way for me to promote my music.Who are your favorite co-Suicide Girls?
I love all the girls, but my two favorites are Aiki and Quinne.MrSkin.com is all about celebrating nudity in film. What are your all-time favorite sexy movies?
I would have to say that I find classic movies to be the sexiest. I think Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot was the sexiest film that I have ever seen.What actresses, both contemporary and classic, do you find the sexiest?
I have to still say Marilyn Monroe again. As far as a contemporary beauty, I would have to go with Christina Ricci (Picture: 1 - 2). She is sexy because she is a natural woman, and she doesn't need to starve herself or wear makeup to be beautiful.If you were directing your dream movie with yourself as the star, what would it be like?
It would be a classic musical like Some Like It Hot.Who would be your co-stars?
Christina Ricci, Christopher Walken, and Steve Buscemi.Where do you find your inspiration today?
I find inspiration in music and film, anything that celebrates the way things were or pushes the envelope to change the way things are going.images of Stasia Suicide courtesy of SuicideGirls.com
