TW: Thanks for talking with us Lex, let’s start off with the basics. Where are you from, where you grew up, what’s your current stomping grounds?
LN: I was born and raised on Cape Cod, MA which is where I am still located.
TW: How would you describe your personality?
LN: Positive, energetic and caring.
TW: What do you do for fun?
LN: Cars, as well as gymnastics!
TW: How long have you been modeling for?
LN: Over 10 years
TW: How did you get your start in modeling?
LN: I got into modeling in general because I had a friend who modeled and she invited me to a photoshoot with her, I then got into modeling in the car community by taking photos with my own car and from there I had people ask me to model theirs.
TW: Do you have a favorite style or theme that you enjoy most for modeling?
LN: I definitely enjoy modeling with cars the most.
TW: Don’t blame you, I would to. I have to know, what’s the weirdest photoshoot you’ve done so far?
LN: I wouldn’t say I’ve had any that particularly stick out as weird, however I have done some neat concepts.
TW: Oh, do tell us more about.. let’s say your favorite concept?
LN: I would say definitely anything car related because it’s neat to see everyone’s builds. Or Boudoir. Boudoir with cars is the best of both worlds!
TW: Do you have any beauty tips you can provide for our readers?
LN: To take care of yourself whether you’re motivated to or not, whether that means getting up and going to the gym, drinking your water, building good eating habits, or even taking care of your mental health and taking a step back if you need to.
TW: For those that don’t know, you’re also a car enthusiast. How did you get into the scene?
LN: Growing up my Mom had always been into cars, she was more of an American Classic enthusiast but her passion towards cars definitely rubbed off on me. When I purchased my Acura TSX at 19 I started to modify it just by doing simple things such as lowering it, then a friend invited me to a local car meet and from there I started attending shows.
TW: Can you tell me what you’re driving right now?
LN: I have a 2014 Honda CRZ, a 1998 BMW 323ci, and a 1990 BMW 325i
TW: Quite a collection you have going on, which of the three is your favorite to drive?
LN: As of right now my e36 but I am sure once my e30 is running that will be my favorite since it’s my pride and joy.
TW: I don’t blame you! do you happen to race yourself?
LN: I am just starting getting into drifting. I have always been drawn to it and it was something I was supposed to pursue with my boyfriend, Lester, and after his passing I decided it is something I still want to pursue. This was my motivation behind purchasing my e30 however after discovering it is a clean, rust free chassis I decided to go more of a restoration/oem+ route with that car which in turn lead to me purchasing my e36 to learn in.
TW: Do you have a favorite car show you like to go to?
LN: I have a few, I’d say either Formula Drift, any Lock City Drift event, or Summer Send Off. The energy at these events are just unmatched!
TW: Any upcoming events you’re planning on attending?
LN: I definitely plan to attend a few events, this upcoming season such as Broke East, Wolfsgart, Lock City, Formula Drift, and I’m sure plenty more.
TW: You have a favorite jam you listen on these car rides?
LN: My top two are definitely Dreamin by Will to Power or Spring Love by Stevie B. My go to genre has definitely been freestyle.
TW: What’s your top three things on your bucket list?
LN: 1. To finish my motor swap on my e30 to get the car out and start enjoying it. 2. to drive my e36 in a drift event, and 3. to get my Mom to a drift event or car show.
TW: Any last shoutouts?
LN: Honestly I appreciate anyone and everyone who supports me and everything I do. However, my boyfriend Lester Donis “Chester Don” who is no longer here with us is a huge reason why I am where I am today and is still to this day what motivates me to keep going!
