A couple of months ago I told to expect an interview with Laura Dore. Girl has been busy this summer (Lowrider Girlz, SHOW Paradise and the music video for Jamie Fox ft. Kanye West, Drake and The Dream “Digital Girl”) so it was bit longer coming than planned. If you thought Laura was your average video vixen think again. Here it is with some new Laura skanz.
You seem to be showing sides of your personality a lot of models don’t bare. Has it been liberating for you? Are you having fun with it?
I’m grateful to have the opportunity to have so much variety with my shoots. I like shooting traditional glamour but fetish has allowed me to show more of my personality.
You came to San Francisco to study burlesque; how was that experience?
I loved it. I can’t wait for my first show. Betty was a great teacher and gave me a crash course in the history of burlesque. I’ve always admired Dita Von Teese and I love Kitten Deville.
In your SHOWCase interview you said you had never been to Europe; now that you have been several times with photo shoots in England and Italy, what did you think of it? Any culture shocks?
I didn’t want to leave, lol. No real culture shocks though, people there are definitely more culturally aware and open minded than the states. I have family in Gaeta, Italy and my sister is attending University College London.
You’re a fan of horror, aside from Sweeney Todd what are some of your other film favorites?
Natural Born Killers, House of 1000 Corpses and Devil’s Rejects (I’m a Zombie fan), Donnie Darko and anything Tim Burton (I’m waiting patiently for the Alice in Wonderland remake). I also have a thing for campy 80′s horror movies like Basketcase and Sleepaway Camp.
You’ve said you would like to write Horror/Sci-Fi books. What are some of your favorite books in the genre?
I love Clive Barker, Stephen King and Edgar Allen Poe. I just finished reading Paradise Lost and I’m about to start on Stephen King’s Duma Key. A couple of my favorites would probably be Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World ( I am fascinated with the idea of one choosing to stay inside their own head instead of picking reality), Mister B. Gone ( who doesn’t love the autobiography of a demon) and the whole Dark Tower series.
You’ve listed shooting guns as a hobby; what gun do you prefer to shoot? Should we expect to see any gun fetish features in the future?
I will definitely be shooting with guns in the future (pun intended). I would love to shoot with a Tommy Gun. My favorite handgun would be a glock, but I really love the AR15. I own a 22 and am on my way to upgrading. My only reservation about purchasing a glock was the lack of a safety lock.
You picked Doré from the 19th Century Illustrator Gustave Doré, are there any other visual artists that inspire you?
I’m a huge fan of pinup artist Olivia, and I’ve just had the pleasure of working with artist Armando Huerta.
I saw some buzz about you getting banned from MySpace in August, but I didn’t read any public statements from you. Anything you want to say?
Hahaha! I’m always getting censored! I’ll know I’ve made it when I’ve been protested against lol.
You have a tattoo of Koi on your left foot, you studied Suzuki violin in high school, and you’re are a fan of Haruki Murakami. Do you have bit of thing for Japanese culture?
I do appreciate Japanese culture, I really have a thing for culture in general. I studied Suzuki violin from elementary through high school at the University of Texas. My sister and I would have to go to orchestra every Saturday morning. We always hated we could never go to slumber parties on Friday night because of it.
I got the koi on my foot because I like that it symbolizes strength and perseverance. The origins are actually Chinese. The legend tells of how any koi that succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate (on the Yellow River) would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement. I also have Felix the cat smoking a joint on my leg ( this is why 15 year olds should NOT get ink, lol). I’m currently getting laser treatments to remove it. I want to eventually get a sleeve or fill up one side of my back.
Murakami is a great author for anyone that enjoys offbeat, open ended stories, Hard- Boiled Wonderland is one of my favorites. I love Japanese horror movies,Takashi Miike has made some pretty awesome films (nothing better than a crazy ex ballerina cutting of a man’s foot with a piano wire LOL).

BlaKKJaKK "Doesn't irrate me" now that is something I can put on a t-shirt.;)

roammalonn Most hot gal are prone to being vacant somewhat ...
I really like her … Or not … No, I do! I just don’t really dig white chicks.
She’s not white, she’s mixed.
Brazilian, African American, Italian, Polish, French and Puerto Rican.
Come now, be fair. There are attractive and unattractive women in every race.
… and what do you say to white people who say they don’t really dig black chicks? Thanks for keeping racism alive.
Probably nothing, that’s so everyday it’s not even worth the time it takes to refute them. You can see the topic brought up all over the place with the usual response being about beyonce…
Why such a strong, assumptive response? That didn’t have to necessarily be a racist comment. “Dig” is a pretty nonchalant and ambiguous verb: she could be saying she doesn’t find white chicks physically attractive, not that she hates white chicks as a race.
In any case, I like her. =)
Exactly, Anon … I don’t find them attractive, has nothing to do with racism. *rolls eyes* I love it when folk jump the gun and think they know what I’m sayin.
Yeah … it’s all about you
it’s just preference, not racism. I think everyone knows what does it for them. There’s nothing wrong with Dee liking what she likes and knowing what she doesn’t like.
The thing is, though, Laura is closer to black than she is to white. She has the curves and complexions of a black woman with the lips and nose of a white woman lol
That's a sweeping statement, a kind of 'visua'l racial stereotyping. There are curvy women in all races and angular women in all races, both in body types and in facial features. What do you actually mean by 'black' ? It's a misused and over-used generic term. Do you mean African? Africa is a continent comprised of over 40 countries, with all the differences you could imagine. The idea some people have that there is a 'white' look and a 'black' look demonstrates how deeply racial stereotyping has taken root. To categorise people in this way is simplistic, wildly inaccurate and inhibits appreciation of beauty, whatever the genetic source may be.
Nice set, and great interview! I love Laura, she’s really versatile and exotic looking. I think she’s got one of THE best bods EVER! Thanks for the scans!
That was a good interview. Nice to see some of these models have more going for themselves than just looking good.
I’m officially a Laura Dore fan now. She seems to have that rare classy eclectic taste that I find attractive. She and Gizel are the two Baddest “white” chicks in front of the camera as far as I’m concerned. Gizel dont give a fuck. And Laura seems to be very sensual and creative in nature.
This is a hot set she’s bangin in pics I just wish she lived up to the hype in person that’s all…….
I had a feeling she didn’t…
Autentica dimamita, una bomba de erotismo, una guerra de placer, eres una autentica locura, gracias por delitarnos con estas fotografias.
God is Laura Dore Sweetie
Well, she’s growing on me. So that’s good.
On the plus side her shoots are always hot, when she does it the whole latex/rubber thing is real sexy, and her body beggars belief. Her sites cool too.
On the minus, I don’t find her remotely pretty and i dont know whats natural or not on her.
…Funnily enough though my girl attended University College London.
Nice drop Black.
From the neck down she can play
I just dont like the no lips thing
i dont care if its halle or whoever
I like Negros if i dont like non black women it aint got to be racism
I guess i grew up around a bunch of SELF lovin people
Everyone has preferences, and I think that’s fine, but I think you can find beauty in every race and ethnicity.
She seems to be smart & beautiful…great combo. PEACE!!!
yeah cherry but i cant see the prefrence if 99% love the non negro look

Luv Laura Dore!!, her flavor, her look, versatile photos, her personality (from what I can gather in various interviews/videos). I even luv the none model pics of her.
She’s an A+ on my report card.
Living up to your name. No doubt. A lot of girls let it go to their head and drink their own KoolAid. Laura is a class act for sure.
Another hot set of Laura Dore’. She’s fine to me. I don’t care if she really is white which I don’t think so. She’s my Monthly Beauty for October. Check it out!! http://www.myspace.com/monstafan
This drop is banggin. She’s cool, but once again I feel like she’s being force fed to me. This interview sounds too deliberate.I know more about what she “likes” and wants to sell me. But what’s her personality? Is she funny? Sweet? Silly? Compasionate? Who knows! She a figment of Sean Cumming’s imagination. He can push her down my throat all she wants, but girls that have it just do. Rosa Acosta came out of no where and her pictures and videos were low budget at first. There is clearly no Sean Cumings or Ice-T funding and pushing her careeer, yet she’s everywhere! And yes, like Redz said, she falls flat in person. Model stars have to connect with their fans, not just take nice pictures with the hottest photographers.
And after looking at the Cubana Lust drop I know what my real problem with Laura Dore is. They can put her in the sexiest shit. I mean. come on latex? Latex is hotter than nudity imo! I also can’t deny how hot her body is. The hip/waist ratio is fiyah. But, she still can’t sell me sex. He face is pretty but she doesn’t sell it. I look at pictures of Coco, and while she doesn’t really “do it” for me either, I believe that she wants me. She exudes sex. Laura doesn’t. If you put your hand over her body in these pictures, her face isn’t telling you to do anything to her, or that she would do anything to you. Rosa Acosta, Coco T, Amber Rose, J Maximus, Jessica Burciaga, Vanessa V, Jeri J, Amazin Amie, Halie, and Cubana are good examples of the opposite. You can put your hand over their bodies and their faces are gonna tell you what it is. Does that make sense?
I get it – her face falls flat to me aswell, she needs more variety with her expressions
Is it just me or do this pic look way out of proportion?
I love this women but this set is..OFF.
great pics..
Dime
She’s ok…
Oh I didn’t see these. Body is slammin.
