Welcome to the pages of LW Mag, we’re excited to finally have you featured as an LW Babe.
Thank you so much. It’s amazing to be doing this with you guys. I love opportunities like this because it enables me to reach a different audience and it’s always fun.

What was the favourite part of your shoot with Paulo for this feature?
I think my favourite part was the fact that we shot towards the end of the day, on a beautiful day in Cape Town. So not only did it lend itself to being a great shoot but we got to enjoy Cape Town at it’s best, especially for Paulo coming from Johannesburg.

What does a day in the life of Kerry-Lee consist of?
Gym, Fashion and Business research quite a lot of the time, and castings/ shoots.

Being a Cape Town girl, what are your pros and cons of living in the Mother City?
Pros definitely have to be the views and locations people travel to Cape Town to see, when we have it on a daily basis. A con would be the wind.

If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be?
London or Munich in Germany. London because I’ve just fallen in love with the historic buildings and feel of the place, and Munich because it’s so much like Cape Town but obviously on a European level the lifestyle there is so amazing.

In your opinion, what defines sexy?
Loving who you are and being focused on always bettering yourself. Not relying on anyone else to give you your success.

Explain your ultimate sexy shoot?
Ultimate sexy shoot, mmm… I think it would have to be along the GQ/ Calvin Klein vibe. Sexy and classy.

When it comes to friends and people you like hanging around with, what qualities do you look for in them?
Definitely humour! Fun, loyal and honest.

You’re currently dating one of SA’s top motocross racers, Anthony Raynard. Generally, girls think motocross is hot, is that what attracted you to him?
I definitely think it’s something that contributes to making him hot but it’s not what attracted me to him because I didn’t know he was a MX racer until a week or two down the line. His confidence and how comfortable he is with himself is what attracted me and obviously he’s handsome. But his gentleman ways is what kept me around and interested, I’m old school like that [laughs].

What’s it like dating a professional motocross racer?
Stressful but fun. I get so competitive for him, sometimes you’d think it’s me in the running for the championship [laughs] and obviously it’s not the safest of sports so I worry. It’s a lot of fun though and I’m very proud of him.

So, do you have any skills on a dirt bike?
[Laughs] let’s just say I’ll leave that to Anthony. Although, I wouldn’t mind learning how to wheelie, that looks like fun.

What is one of the wildest things you have ever done?
A few years ago I went quad biking in the Namibian sand dunes only to go off trail and find myself on the top of a really steep dune. I had to find an alternative route being another dune which wasn’t far off the one I had just decided to give a miss, anyways I went for it and it was terrifying, and then making it back to being in a lil bit of trouble!

What’s next for Kerry-Lee?
A very exciting business venture and great modelling season ahead, hopefully some travels in between too.
