Interview Guidelines:
There are a few guidelines I ask everyone to follow,if they wish to interview me.I'm actually a very personable friendly person,but I just like to get everything out in the open first,so people know what I wish to or not to talk about.
#1 Don't ask me sexual questions.I just think that is inappropriate,especially for a female.I don't even bare my breast in photos,so I'm REALLY not going to tell the whole world things like sexual position preferences.Plus I don't see how asking me if I sexual questions has anything to do with my being a artist or model.
#2 Don't ask me juvenile questions like "are your dolls like Chucky,and will they kill people if they buy one",I have a really good sense of humor but things like that are just asinine and annoying,allot of my work deals with serious subjects like child murder ect,So it's almost disrespectful to the subject matter to ask that.
#3 If the interview is for a print magazine,I ask that I receive a free issue of the publication with the article or photos in it.
#4 Please credit my photographers,if you use a photo of myself.Just drop me a line at the e-mail given on the bottom of their page,with a description of the photo you want to use,I will either put you in contact with the photographer so you may request the rights to use the image,or in most cases I can just give you the go ahead and give you the name or link to credit the photo to.
#5 And lastly PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spell my name correctly it's UGLY SHYLA,and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get my website URL correct that is WWW.UGLYART.NET ,If I find either to be incorrect I will insist on a correction.
Sorry to have to send you these guidelines,but it helps nip things in the bud,and keeps me from having to look like a asshole and having to say I'm not going to answer this and that question.
It's just better and more pleasant for everybody involved if I explain to people what I'm not comfortable with ahead of time.
And you'd be surprised at how many times I have been asked really perverted questions about things as a part of a interview which again is disrespectful especially to a female artist.
Thanks
Ugly Shyla
