Kylie Bax
After pitching a Kylie Bax story to Stance for months in hopes to spend a few minutes in her presence, I ended up having to interview her via telephone. Not quite what I had planned, but even over the phone, she's hot as hell. The first interview is how it appeared in the mag, followed by the full interview with some stuff that never made it to the Stance article.
Kylie Bax

You may not have heard of Kylie Bax yet, but she's everywhere. You know all those fashion magazines that your mom or sister or girlfriend reads that reek of perfume and weigh a ton? Kylie's most likely in them somewhere. As a supermodel, she's posed for the biggest names in fashion (not to mention Playboy, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and regularly appears in various men's magazines, usually wearing little clothing. The time she kissed Carmen Electra on the Howard Stern Show might go down in history as one of the sexiest moments on the program. Imagine hearing her New Zealand accent whispering in your ear as you read this interview and drool over these photos.
What was it like being hooked up to a lie detector on the Howard Stern Show?
I didn't know anything about a lie detector machine before I went on the show. I have no problem telling the truth, and I knew in a way the Stern show would make up their own truth anyway, even if I passed the lie detector. I knew they would switch some of the questions around with the answers they gave out. I love Howard, I think he's a great guy. I think he's cool, and he's really funny. It didn't bother me.
Are you considered a supermodel?
I guess I've been considered a supermodel since four months after I arrived in New York, about six years ago.
Is it weird having your career and fame based on your looks? Do you ever get worried about zits or maybe getting some sort of flesh-eating disease?
Well, I do get pimples-I'm human. It bugs me out when people don't realize that I'm human. I have bad hair days, and I break a lot of bones working and whatnot. I don't like pimples as much as the next girl.
Any modeling horror stories?
The worst thing was about eight weeks ago, when I broke my arm shooting in London. I fell
doing karate kicks and jumping around the studio.
What do you do when your arm's broken?
Panic, freak out, and wait for it to heal.
Have you ever fallen on the runway or anything like that?
Never ever.
I've noticed you choose wear a lot of see-through tops in runway shows.
Everybody does that. You're given what you wear by the designer and you have no say. That's fashion. You just wear it and do your job. I guess I'm uninhibited. I like my job, and I just do it and don't complain.
What do you do on a normal day when you aren't working?
Hang out with my friends. I like going to the gym, so I try to go every day. I'm friends with Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra, so we kind of have a meet and greet at the gym.
That seems normal. Who do you think is the hottest girl out there right now?
Carmen Electra.
You have a boyfriend?
I do, but I never go into my personal life.
Do you need to date a guy taller than you?
No, I don't care.
On the average night on the town, how much do you get hit on?
All the time. Sometimes it's flattering and sometimes it's annoying, depending on the mood I'm in.
Say a normal guy like me sees you in a club or bar and wants to come up to you. What's the approach? Buy you a drink? Or go for stimulating conversation?
As long as you aren't a jerk. I really don't know—you have to just be normal. Any guy should compliment what a girl is wearing before he compliments her looks, because generally a girl takes time to think about what she wears when she goes out.
When is the world going to see more Kylie Bax?
My website, kyliebax.com, will be up soon. I have some acting and modeling stuff there. I had to fight for my name for the site. Some guy owned it, but it's my name so I had to go to court and I just got it back. I'm also selling a video at the moment. I took a crew over to Ibiza, Spain and we shot a Girls Gone Wild-type video called Wild Wild Wild in Ibiza with Kylie.
Are you the one flashing the camera and stuff?
No I'm the host. I'm fully clothed.
The Full Interview:
Rob: Hello?
Kylie: Hi Robert how are you?
Good, just anticipating some snow, which kind of sucks.
I'm afraid I can't commiserate, I'm in Los Angeles and it's sunny.
LA or NY? Which do you like better?
Didn't you just answer that question? Definitely LA.
What about back in New Zealand? Do you have family there?
Everybody lives there; I go back there once a year. I have a brother in Florida too.
I found your stats in the Internet and just wanted to confirm:
Birthplace, Thames, New Zealand; height, 5 foot 10 inches, bust, 34 inches; waist, 24 inches; hips 34 inches; hair, blonde?
I have no idea I haven't measured it in years. I'm a woman, waist and hips and bust, they go up and down all the time I guess?
Eyes are blue?
My eyes are green.
See, you can't trust the Internet all that much. Are you considered a supermodel?
I've been considered a supermodel since four months after I arrived in New York about six years ago.
Is it weird having your career and fame based on your looks?
Do I think its weird?
Yeah. Do you ever get worried about zits or maybe getting some sort of flesh eating disease?
Well I do get pimples. I'm human. It bugs me out when some people don't realize that I'm human. I have bad hair days, and I break a lot of bones working and whatnot. I'm just, you know, human. I think it bugs me out more than anyone else. I don't like pimples as much as the next girl.
Who is the ultimate model in your opinion?
Other than blowing and tooting my own horn, everyone is the industry has their own specialty and is recognized for their own uniqueness. But when I was in New Zealand and I was a kid, my idol was Linda Evangelista, and I based my career in the beginning on wanting to be like her.
What's your ultimate career goal?
I think I have achieved all of those about three times over maybe. I mean I guess I can keep going and do it four or five times over.
What was the worst modeling gig you ever did? Any horror stories?
Not really. The worst thing was about eight weeks ago. I broke my arm modeling. Shooting in London I fell doing karate kicks and jumping around the studio.
What do you do when your arms broken then?
Panic, freak out, and wait for it to heal.
Did you ever fall on the runway or anything like that?
Never ever.
You wear a lot of see-through tops that show your boobs off in runway shows. Do you volunteer to wear that?
Everybody does that. But you get given what you wear by the designer and you have no say. That's fashion. You just wear it and do your job.
Why do you think you are so uninhibited? Or is it just that you are dedicated to your work?
I guess I'm uninhibited, I just like my job and I just do it and don't complain
Who do you like better surfers or skateboarders?
Either or I guess. I kind of like surfing better than skating although I do like Tony Hawk a lot. I don't mind anything really though.
Are you still doing any acting?
I prefer modeling, but I still go on auditions. I'm doing a lot of modeling at the moment
sort of full on doing that. I really love to model so its good that I can get back to work after breaking my arm.
I read that you were in a movie with Dolph Lundgren, the infamous Ivan Drago from Rocky 4. Is he cool?
That was a real long time ago. I did two movies with him actually. Dolph is a friend of mine. It was one of the first movies I ever did and it freaked me out a little bit. He's a really nice sweet man, and he has a great wife.
What was it like being hooked up to the lie detector on the Stern show?
I didn't know anything about a lie detector machine before I went on the show. I have no problem telling the truth, and I knew in a way the Stern show would make up their own truth anyway, even if I passed the lie detector or not, I knew they would switch some of the questions around with the answers they gave out. But it was fun. I love Howard, I think he's a great guy, I think he's cool and he's really funny. It didn't bother me, I thought it was really good fun.
What do you do for fun when you aren't working? Like, what's a normal day for you?
Hang out with my friends, I like going to the gym so I try to go to the gym everyday. I'm friends with Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra, so we kind of have a meet and greet at the gym.
You have a boyfriend?
I do but I never go into my personal life.
Do you need to date a guy taller than you?
No, I don't care.
Are you opposed to dating non-celebrities?
I have dated non-celebrities before.
Who's hotter, The Croc Hunter or Crocodile Dundee?
Crocodile Dundee.
Do you think you could kick Xena's ass?
I wouldn't want to, she's cool. I don't know her but she's from New Zealand and you don't kick your own people's asses.
Who do you think is the hottest guy out right now?
Anthony Kiedis.
Hottest girl?
Carmen Electra.
What celebrities did you have crushes on before you were famous?
Brad Pitt.
On the average night on the town, how much do you get hit on?
All the time. Sometimes it's flattering and sometimes it's annoying, depending on the mood I'm in.
Say a normal guy like me sees you in a club or bar and wants to come up to you. What's the move? Buy you a drink, ask you to dance, go for stimulating conversation?
As long as you aren't a jerk. I really don't know—you have to just be normal and not “hit” on me.
Give some advice to our young male audience on how to get the girl they are after. They need to hear it firsthand, from the mouth of a hot chick like you.
Any guy should compliment what a girl is wearing before he compliments her looks, because generally a girl takes time to think about what she wears when she goes out. And even if she didn't she likes you to know that she looks good.
What kind of music are you into?
Rock. At the moment I like Puddle of Mudd, Aerosmith, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, just to name three.
What was the first concert you went to?
Brian Adams.
Where was that?
Milan, Italy
Are you still a fan of him?
Yeah, he's cool.
Was this interview boring?
No. Not at all.
When is the world going to see more Kylie Bax? Anything in the works?
In a couple weeks my website, Kyliebax.com, will be up. I have some acting and modeling stuff there. I had to fight for my name for the site. Some guy owned it, but its my celebrity name. I had to go to court and I just got it back.
I'm also selling a video at the moment. I took a crew over to Ibiza in Spain and we shot a Girls Gone Wild-type video called Wild Wild Wild in Ibiza with Kylie.
Is it all you like, flashing the camera and stuff?
No I'm the host. I'm fully clothed.
