MDC: So Leah, is it pronounced Lee-ah or Lay-ah?
Leah: I say Lay-ah.

MDC: So, you just finished the V shoot with Hasse Nielsen? How did it go?
Leah: It went well, I was really nervous when I first started. It was one of my first shoots, but it went well.

MDC: Where are you from?
Leah: Norway, Oslo. Five minutes outside.

MDC: How tall and how old are you?
Leah: 5’10” and 15 years old.

MDC: Do you have any favorite supermodels?
Leah: I like the Victoria Secret models, they’re so WOW! I really like Adriana Lima, she’s beautiful! I’ve always liked her.

MDC: It’s such a big deal to work with V Magazine… do you actually get it in Oslo?
Leah: It’s huge! No, it’s not selling in Oslo so always when I am out of the country in Denmark (I have family in Denmark) so when I travel there I always buy V magazine!

MDC: That’s so great, so this must be like a dream come true to shoot for them?
Leah: Yes, absolutely!

MDC: Thank you so much, have a great rest of your stay, and we’ll be seeing you in the pages of V!
