Check out Adrianne Curry’s latest interview with LA Weekly:
L.A. WEEKLY: Are you still modeling?
ADRIANNE CURRY: At 29, I am a bit old for that world. I do take jobs that come directly to me, but I see no point in hoofing it to castings surrounded by a bunch of 15-year-olds.
There was talk that you’d be on an upcoming reality game show.
I have a lot of offers to do television shows. My main concern is picking the right ones. I did just finish filming Season 3 for Sony PlayStation Network’s The Tester [the first live-action series distributed on a video game console].
Do you plan to stay in “reality,” or are you looking for more traditional acting roles?
I have been dipping my toes into hosting. This year I guest-hosted for the Hollyscoop TV show and did live coverage of E3 [the Electronic Entertainment Expo] for Bandai/Namco, which was awesome. I also hosted BlizzCon’s pay-per-view Event on DirecTV last month, and The Tester.
Lucky for me, I am doing this in fields that I really enjoy, like gaming, social media and fitness. I am an avid gamer, so there’s a lot of work for gals like me. People see through you if you’re full of crap.
Your Twitter feed is notorious for tweets like, “Jumping into shower. Going to spend my afternoon playing World of Warcraft butt naked&stoned. Perfect Sunday!”
Twitter seems to be a continuation of reality for me. I am pretty honest in 140 characters or less.
How did you develop your love of gaming?
Always had it. My parents never allowed my brother and I to get a gaming console, so we had to learn how to download computer games onto PCs and hide them. I grew up playing Myst, 7th Guest, Duke Nukem, Quake, Wolfenstein, King’s Quest, DOOM, etc. When I hit my teens, my friends and I would hang out in garages, underage drinking and playing video games. Currently I play a lot of World of Warcraft. I am the Guild Master of “Explicit” on the “Nazgrel Server” and yes, I realize I am speaking a language most people don’t understand!
Where does your urge to play cosplay — “costume play,” for those not in the know — dress-up, or undress-up, come from?
Halloween has always been my favorite time of year. Also, like most geek-loving kids, I loved to spend all year making my costumes. Cosplay was a natural fit for me. It isn’t just about looking sexy, it’s about authenticity! My favorite cosplays are my Dominatrix Imperial Crew Member (my spin on what women would look like on the Death Star), my two Leeloo costumes from The Fifth Element and my newest, Aeon Flux.
Speaking of which, what exactly happened to you at Comic-Con this year?
I was stopped because Aeon’s costume has a thong in back. Apparently in San Diego it is illegal to bare your butt cheeks. I found this funny, considering the fact that girls had their nipples hanging out. This is Comic-Con, and I was Aeon frickin’ Flux! I was forced to cover my butt and leave directly after my autograph signing.
