I was going to ask you what you thought about Norwegian prisons. Thank you for this comment, now I don't have to ask. When I first read about Norway's system, I felt deeply that it's the ethical and humane way to handle convicted criminals. However, before we can change, I think the US would have to address social inequalities that cause people to be more likely to wind up in the criminal justice system, and I think that's a tough can of worms to open. Kudos for what you've done, I hope you find some peace.

How was your move to Los Angeles from Minneapolis, and how do the two cities compare?

(As a Minnesotan, I'm hoping you'll say that we're number one in your heart.)

Awww, we love you too! I can't blame people who move to LA to pursue careers that are impossible in smaller cities, but we do miss easy access to talent like you and Jessy. <3

I did this job when I was younger. I modeled for a classical realist painter atilier. It was difficult work that involved one chosen pose for months, so students could do b&w drawing studies, then complete very detailed color paintings. I overheard all kinds of fun discussions like “which pigment of green are you using for the undertones on her upper left thigh?” It was a very interesting process.
