Blu Gem: Long story short, I was first noticed in the ladies bathroom of a club by a girl named Evana Kay who managed another model. She liked my look, she liked my style, and asked if I ever modeled before, or if I was interested in it. We exchanged info, and the rest is history. So I never set out to become a model, it just sort of happened. 100 Bars: What are your hobbies? Blu Gem: I really love to shop, I guess you can say I’m an actual impulsive shopper lol. Other then that, I’m really quite busy with work. Whenever I do have time, I enjoy a good read. 100 Bars: Whats your personality like? Blu Gem: People always tell me that I’m very humble, and down to earth. Easy going type, but I’m very serious and particular when it comes to work, and my brand. 100 Bars: What kind of Guys/Girls are you attracted to? Blu Gem: I generally like older men, simply because I’m not into all the games, and I don’t have time to train boys on how to be a man lol. So a guy with his head on straight, ambitious, honest, and confident. 100 Bars: What your idea of a perfect date? Blu Gem: The Perfect date for me is one where we can talk and get to know each other. It doesn’t really matter what we do, as long as I’m getting that mental stimulation. I like intelligence. 100 Bars: Whats a big turn off for you? Blu Gem: Major turn off for me is bad hygiene. I like nice hands as crazy as it may sound, I’m big on nice hands, and last cheap men, that’s such a turn off. 100 Bars: Are you into battle rap? If so who’s your favorite rapper? Blu Gem: I like to watch battle raps, but I can’t say that I know the battle rappers names. I love rap music period. 100 Bars: Where do you want
