[FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]Fusion girls are special. We already knew it but we love to hear it from other people. Especially from the ones we trust, like Jonathan Leder who just shot the polas above, with Fusion fresh face Krista Gamble. Special, so special. That's why our Summer interview with a Fusion girl is back this July, after a first session last August with Karolina Nevia(who was just featured again a few days ago). We asked Krista the same questions and naturally got different answers. Though, one thing seems to be the rule at Fusion: the newbies has much to tell about what they do when they don't model. We learnt about Karolina's latest readings, you'll hear from Krista's passion for singing. Read it like you'd listen to a very special melody. We bet you'll never forget the tune.[/FONT]

[FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- How old are you ?
[/FONT][FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- I am 19 years young.

[/FONT]​

[FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- Where do you come from ?
[/FONT][FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- I was born in Heidelberg, Germany but came to the U.S when I was three. I was raised right outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

[/FONT]​

[FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- How have you been discovered ? Have you been thinking about modeling for long ?
[/FONT][FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- While visiting NY for the first time when I was seven I witnessed a model getting her picture taken outside Federal Hall on Wall Street....I was hooked. Since then, modeling was always on my mind. I went to Fusion's open call and met with Josh and Jody who were really welcoming and had great energy...I'm so happy to work with them!

[FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- How does it feel now to work as a model ? Which jobs have you experienced, what did or didn't expect ?
[/FONT][FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- I absolutely love modeling...I feel like I am living the dream. All aspects of the fashion industry excite me so it's really wonderful to witness the inner workings of my favorite designers and photographers. I recently walked for Isaac Mizrahi. It was really interesting to be involved in a television production; working with the entire back stage crew. Everyone was so great. I also love doing shoots because it's a form of acting. For every look you have to get into character and convey a certain emotion or experience. It's not just sitting around looking pretty for the camera.

[FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- Apart from modeling do you have other passions ? Were you already familiar with fashion before and do you have favorite designers, photographers or any specific projects for your career as a model ?
[/FONT][FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif] - Apart from modeling I have a passion for singing. Previously, I was studying to become an opera singer. (Mezzo Soprano) I love all types of music besides classical...jazz especially. My favorite singer is Ella Fitzgerald. I also have a fashion background because I'm taking marketing and fashion design courses. My all time favorite designer is Ralph Rucci who was also raised in Philadelphia. His clothes are works of art and he uses the most luxurious fabrics for his garments. He always receives a standing ovation at his shows. Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin are my favorite fashion photographers. (So racy!) I love how they stepped outside "the box" with their surrealistic approach to fashion photography.

[FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]- Last one, just tell us a random thing about you, whatever if it's your favorite meal or the last philosophy book you read, just something that would make a good title for the article!!!
- [/FONT][FONT=georgia, times new roman, times, serif]Randomosity: I am obsessed with the Rat Pack...Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. I listen and watch their old Vegas shows....nobody puts on a show better. They have the funniest one liners. I just finished Memories Are Made of This: Dean Martin Through His Daughter's Eyes. The author Dina Martin talks a lot about growing up in the golden age of Hollywood. (Celebrities like Marilyn Monroe would come over her house for dinner...that would be so awesome.)[/FONT]​
