Ms. Lekish Turner is more than what meets the eye. Hailing from the Bay Area, the scintillating model is a relative newcomer to the modeling world. This bodacious Black and Sicilian beauty is building her name up to becoming a brand, with posters, t-shirts, and even underwear all bearing her resemblance.

With Lady Nicole posing to raise her stock in the game, Ms. Turner continues to be focused as she continues to establish a place in the urban modeling field. Upcoming placements in Black Men’s and Show magazines, respectively, have Lady Nicole’s name burning on the wire. As HHDX helps boosting her repertoire, she sits down with us as she talks about her burgeoning career, the reason why “President Bush” and “bullshit” go hand-in-hand, and how her and “punany” have more in common than one would think.

HHDX: First things first, where did the name “Lady Nicole” come from?

LT: Well, Nicole is my middle name. “Lady” is my nickname. I’ve been called that for quite some time. Growing up, I was a tomboy. So, that’s where it came from. I used to fight boys, climb fences, play football, and the whole nine. So, basically, while growing up being a tomboy, it was reversed on me and started calling me “lady”.

HHDX: You’re sort of a rookie in this modeling gig, how’d you get your start?

LT: I started by putting my pictures on these online modeling sites. I put pictures up at ModelPlace.com, on MySpace, and other modeling sites. People started hitting me up from there. I knew a photographer in the area and begun started to take more pictures. From there it began to take off. The most interesting thing about doing this is the anticipation. The feeling of “making it”. I want to be able to get that chance. It keeps me going, pushing, and striving for that chance. It’s coming along nicely and that is a blessing. There’s the competition, too. You’re going to have that in some respect, but I’d rather continue to do me and make it in this business off of my hard work.

HHDX: Our site is known for being really, umm… “creative” with their comments. When you begun to tell your friends and loved ones about your goals, what did they think?

LT: My family is really small. I only have my brother right now and he’s all for it. Some of my closest friends are very supportive. They’ll check to see if I’m making progress and when I hit a rut, they’ll sometimes say, “Why don’t you do this? Or that?” You know how it goes. My brother keeps pushing me regardless of what happens. He actually helps to promote me. He posts bulletins on my MySpace page. Personally, I do my own graphic designing of the site, but I have friends that put me on their pages, which helps to bring more awareness to what I’m trying to do. Continued on page 2 »
