So, um, Crystal Platnuim, huh? How did you come up with that? Why do you use that as a stage name?
Platinum is the rarest metal and the most expensive… And I misspell it to signify there is only one Platnuim. (laughs)
Where were you born, and how was life growing up?
Texas. It was rough, but it made me strong
What nationality are you?
I’m mixed.
Do you go to college?
Yes. Berkeley College in White Plains.
How long have you been modelling?
6 years. I’ve been a plus-size model, and am now a regular-fit model
How did you get your start in modelling?
I would go to hair shows in Chicago, and worked as a beauty assistant. One day someone said I look like Selena (laughs), and I should be a model
Where have we seen you?
Hustler Magazine, Jones Model Management, Big Apple dancers, mixedwrestling.com, for Michelle Falsetta, and music videos.
What do you like best about being a model?
Meeting people.
What would you be if you weren’t a model?
Be a personal trainer, my regular job.
What would the average person say about you?
I’m happy and motivated.
What’s one thing about yourself that everyone should know?
I’m nice. Just because I’m silent doesn’t mean I’m conceited. (laughs)
Are you a good dancer?
Yep, I think so. I belly dance, too.
What do guys compliment you most on?
My eyes and that I’m a sweetheart.
Do you like the nerdy type, MMA fighter guy or the regular Joe?
The nerdy, silent type is yummy.
Are you seeing anyone? Do we stand a chance with you?
Yes kind of, sort of, I dunno. But if he doesn’t want me it’s COOL. I want him to be happy with or without me. I love him, but I will not be in fear if he leaves me. Life is too short and I don’t hold anyone on a leash, or have jealousy in my bones. If God wills it to be, it will be.
Do you have any secret weaknesses or guilty pleasures?
Sex. (laughs) Stilettos, lingerie, and mixed martial arts.
What’s your biggest turn-on?
Hmm… Yellow roses, Eskimo kisses, beautiful eyes and a mean walk… Like Denzel Washington (laughs)
Do you consider yourself more of a “giver” or a “taker”?
I believe I am a giver
What is the most romantic thing a guy has done for you?
Write me a love poem.
If you could have any car you wanted, what would it be?
Lamborghini Murcielago for the weekend, and for the week a Porsche GT3 RS or Aston Martin DB9, carbon-fibre kit installed, of course (laughs)
Do you have any hidden talents?
I can cook! And I can joke like Cedric the Entertainer.
What would you consider your strongest attribute?
My heart
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and who would you take with you?
I would probably have to go to Turtle Island in Fiji.
What do you normally sleep in?
Nothing. Well, the radios on. (laughs)
What is your favourite food?
Hmm… Greek yoghurt, or a Smoothie King* slim and trim, no Turbinado, with a shot of joint tissue repair.
Who is your favourite comedian?
Cedric the Entertainer, and the Kings of Comedy
What do you do for fun?
Workout and dance (laughs), go to Barnes and Noble and read, or go to the karate studio and train.
Do you like video games? If so, what do you play?
3D World Boxing Champion by Nintendo. And sports, of course.
Are you into sports? Do you have a favorite sports team?
Yes, yes. Sports is all me, baby.
What are your dreams and goals?
To be the best I can be and help people, in fitness, modelling, tradeshow or video. To be the best that God grants me to be
