HHDX: I’m pretty sure that there have been some rude comments that have floated past your ears during your life. But I guess, my question is – how did you get in good with “punany”…?

LT: Jessica [Holton] is my people’s! She’s from the Bay Area, you know! She had a show out here and she asked me to come out there and host. My friend and I, we came out, and did it together. I am now affiliated with The Punany Pearls (http://www.punanypoets.com/). We’re actually starting the beginning stages of putting together something with modeling. Her and I just clicked. I mean, she’s cool… she’s from the Bay Area. I’ve never really done anything like that before. It was crazy… just like how it was when it appeared on Real Sex.

HHDX: You’re set to shoot for a couple of magazines. This will be your first, correct? What do you have in the works?

LT: I’m supposed to shoot with Black Men’s magazine soon. I’m excited about that. I did my test shoot and everything went well. This will be my first major magazine placement. But I’m actually in the latest issue of Benzino’s Hip-Hop Weekly. I’ve had a few people tell me about it and I haven’t even seen it, yet. I am a part of the Urban Godiva Girlz. We’re working on a calendar. Urban Godiva Girlz has a group of females that we’re working with and some very nice photographers. So, we’re going to get that off the ground. The website will be up soon. My website is being built as we speak, we were supposed to go up on the 5th, but that hasn’t happened yet.

HHDX: So, who’s idea was it to have all that merchandise that’s on your page?

LT: The poster was a must. The apparel came from my friend from Jersey. This guy on MySpace had made a shirt with my picture on it and people was telling me about it. It was getting a really good response. He was doing his thing out there, so it was good for him because he’s doing his own thing, he’s making it work for him. But all of what you see on my site is of my own creation. I’m making it work on my own. It’s an experiment that’s working out for me very well.

HHDX: The game is a steep climb and not too many people make it to the top. What does Lekish Turner have that’ll help get you to the proverbial promise land?

LT: I think that the way that I think will get me to the top. Besides the way that I look, there are a lot of beautiful women out there, but I think that I’m just as beautiful. I feel like I have an exotic look about myself. People say it’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know. I am about my business. I keep it very professional, just that, period. I’m not just trying to get into this business because so-and-so says that I have a phat ass, for me it’s all about handling your business.
