Welcome to the pages of LW Mag. What are your thoughts on being featured as our LW Babe of the Week?
It is such an honour to have been selected by the editor as I have seen the incredible beauts featured previously.

Tell us a little something something that most people don’t know about you?
I am actually extremely shy when you first meet me but once I feel comfortable about a person, I am a bit crazy wild.

Do you consider yourself a party animal or a stay at home chilling type of girl?
Hmm, a bit of both! I definitely love a good party and enjoy anything fun and spontaneous after some hard work. But relaxing amongst the crazy lifestyle is always extremely satisfying. Some chick flicks or yoga do well at helping me chill out.

“…my super cool personality, hmm… no? So, since appearances is what a guy would encounter first, I’d hope my smile and energy as I am always happy and smiling and I’ve learnt this is more attractive than trying to flaunt anything else”

What are the top 10 things on your bucket list?
I will be honest and say I have never thought of what would be on my bucket list, I enjoy living each day as it comes and figuring out what I like to do as I go along, but, maybe:
1. Visit LA and some other amazing American cities on my list as well as visit many culturally rich countries in Africa and Europe. Basically travel as much as possible.
2. Become a yoga instructor.
3. Go back to Miami but this time not for holiday but to model in their season.
4. Go to Disneyland, this was definitely on my list growing up [laughs]. I was fortunate to go to Universal Studios, Florida in 2011 though.
5. Get another tattoo.
6. Land a major campaign. Sports Illustrated or Victoria Secret would be a dream.
7. Help and touch as many people’s lives as possible, whether it be through teaching or being an inspiration.
8. Adopt a child.
9. Go on a cruise.
10. Use a waterfall as a shower.

What cool things have you ticketed off your bucket list already?
Swimming with sharks! In the Seychelles I recently fed a fish to a shark while scuba diving, without a cage! He took the fish out of my hand, yikes. Amazing! Life changing!

Congrats on your recent graduation. What degree did you graduate from?
I just got a Bachelor of Arts Degree majoring in Drama, Performance Studies, Media and Cultural studies.

What do you think it is about you that guys are attracted to?
Um, my super cool personality, hmm… no? So, since appearances is what a guy would encounter first, I’d hope my smile and energy as I am always happy and smiling and I’ve learnt this is more attractive than trying to flaunt anything else.

If you want to get a guys attention, what is your plan of action and how good is your hit rate?
“Bennnnnnnnnd and snap” Okay no really, I just smile and make eye contact, if I really want his attention then I may introduce myself if he looks a bit shy and from that I have a pretty decent hit rate.

Tell us about one of the sexiest photoshoots you have ever done? What made it the sexiest?
A shoot I did with a friend of mine, Brett Roux, where the two of us had to be a “couple” [laughs]. It was pretty hilarious but when you saw the shots it looked incredibly sexy. I also did a shot as shown in this feature where there is slight “side boob” shown. I think this is sexy as I wouldn’t reveal more but just a subtle hint of femininity is sexy enough.

What does your dream photoshoot consist of?
Amazing location. One of the best photographers in the world. Luli Fama swimwear or any great underwear or swimwear, dusk lighting and If it were for Sports Illustrated or a beauty campaign on my goal list then that would be fantastic.

If you could choose a weekend away with 3 international celebrities. Where would you go and with who, and why?
Vegas! I’m still young and itching for a whole lot of wild crazy fun. Having the following guests, I feel I would get to know them in a comfortable and relaxed environment but also learn a lot from them as I feel they are extremely wise and experienced – Leonardo Dicaprio, Kevin Spacey and Oprah.

What does a day in the life of Nicole Naude consist of?
No routine at all this year. Some form of exercise, hiking or gym or a run, maybe some outdoor fun on the beach. Some admin and work for my blog. Loads of castings or could be a day of a shooting or filming the TV series. Definitely a glass of wine a good night’s sleep.
