A Norwegian Supernova
By Andrew Rudder for Pulp Magazine ~ www.pulpmag.net ~ andrew@pulpmag.net

Search the Nordic country on the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula,
Throughout the infamous Fjords along the extensive coastline along the North Atlantic Ocean,
And you will not find another Norwegian investment banker like Mirell whose majestic splendor and fair flowerlike femininity intoxicates your mind like a genuine love-potion,
With such a breathtaking, splendidly stunning sensuality imbued in her provocative persona that exhibit such a vehement passion,
With such an indomitable spirit that flows from a strong drive to succeed like a wondrous, winsome woman on a mission,
That fuels the flame of her scintillating star so it continues to shine like a supernova in the night sky that her admirers who bask in her light will need sun-tan lotion,
Poetry speaks louder than prose ... so listen ...

Search throughout the Kingdom of Norway including the arctic island territories such as the archipelago of Svalbard and the arctic volcanic island Jan Mayen and till,
And you will not find a more eye-filling enchantress like Mirell whose sublime splendor makes you want to embrace the eternity of the moment ... that time stands still,
Her poignant pulchritude elicits the highest degree of aesthetic pleasure within the mind like the beautiful polyphonic music of composer & violinist Ole Bornemann Bull,
You want to stay alive when you bare witness to her pulchritudinous symmetry, so you’re relieved to know ... that looks don’t kill!!!,
Mirell’s tantalizing trinity of comely class, exquisite elegance and delightful delicacy will surely fill,
Your glass ... brimming with aesthetic pleasure because the fulfillment of the state of Epicurean delight is such a great thrill,
No other woman possesses such an aesthetic pleasing aura and therefore no other winsome woman can ... quit fit the bill ... like the marvelous Mirell,

Search the county of Aust-Agder in the city of Arendal from Grimstad in the southwest, Froland in the northwest and to the northeast in Tvedestrand,
And you will not find a Norwegian woman within the Venice of Scandinavia with such a picturesque, statuesque physique that looks like it was sculpted by Gustav Vigeland,
Mirell is a Norwegian angel who is an original source of poetic inspiration like the heavenly Stella was to Henrik Wergeland,
Her beauty will stand the test of time like the houses within Tyholmen on the mainland,
The sounds of her harmony are worthy to mingle within the perfumed atmosphere like the sounds of the “Canal Street –Arendal Jazz and Blues” festival from a Jazz band,
Thrilling the beautiful scenery around her . . . like the idyllic swimming beaches and skerry landscape of Arendal . . . beautifying its breathtaking coastland,

The aim of Mirell when ever she steps before the camera lens is to arrest motion, which like William Faulkner said “is life,” and encapsulate the photographs’ internal beauty,
So that one hundred years later when someone looks at it, her pictures move again since it is a life without any predefined boundary,
And will therefore be more than just the outcome of that person’s vivid imagination, but an ultimate reality,
One hundred years later that person will find in Mirell’s photos a labour of love that is profound repose, and a vision of artistry cloaked in the industry’s obscurity,
Revealing the beauty of Mirell’s fine femininity with an aesthetic limit that extends to infinity.

Rogue Angels Interview
By Andrew Rudder for Pulp Magazine ~ www.pulpmag.net ~ andrew@pulpmag.net

Andrew: It's with great pleasure that I introduce to you to a stunning, sensually sublime young woman, an investment banker and a professional international model named Mirell Victoria, who was born and raised in Norway. The incomparable Mirell has done more intriguing modeling and film projects, and experienced more things in her early life than most people will complete in their life time. Her impressive resume to date reads like a ‘who’s who’ within the upper echelons of the fashion and film industries. Mirell’s awe-inspiring journey toward celebrity status began in the small city of Arendal, Norway, where she was born and raised.

She was spotted by an agent at the age of 15 at a time when she never wore make up, high heels, and had never even had a boyfriend, because she spent all of her time being a teachers pet, playing tennis, horse riding and reading up on politics! A few weeks after her first shoot she was on an airplane to Milan, and got a very quick introduction to the wondrous world of high heels, make up, glitz and glamour. It didn’t take long before she became use to strutting down the cat walks of designers such as Armani and Hussain, and damn did she love every minute of it! She then moved to Barcelona and then Athens, working on runways and for magazines such as Marie Claire and Vouge before moving to London, where she started doing more bikini, fitness and page three shoots, and pageants such as Miss Scandinavia, Queen of the World, Miss Hawaiian Tropic and Miss Norway.  Within a few months of moving to the UK she was voted the 42nd most sexiest woman in the world.

Since than Mirell has participated in some large campaigns for a lot of reputable corporations within the industry, and became their spokesperson as she worked alongside some other established stars such as Victoria Silversted, Karolina Kurkova, Jenna Jameson and Caprice. There are large parties all over the world and Mirell has met some amazing and inspiring people on her way to the upper echelons of the modeling industry. With all of the traveling that Mirell does during her very hectic schedule and busy lifestyle, moving from one challenging creative project and exciting adventure to the next, one would think that she deserves some time off to relax and rejuvenate her seemingly restless vivacious spirit.

Mirell is so hard working and she likes to constantly embrace new challenges, however, that her idea of a break is working within the field of investment banking dabbling in the 24/7 FOREX market, the Stock market and the Futures Market ... proving that she is more than just another pretty face as many people have told her it was impossible for a woman, nevertheless a model, to get into investment banking ... and Mirell proved them all wrong! Mirell loves proving her non-believers wrong, as her poignant beauty is balanced by a scintillating witticism and intriguing intelligence. So with the world as her oyster and the admirable level of success that she has attained thus far, what is next for this young starlet with a potential that extends to infinity??? She’ll most likely set all her many talents into helping other young, talented models out by setting up a model and talent school, and develop it into a production company within the film and music industry.

Mirell has taken the time out of her very busy schedule to do this interview with yours truly and I appreciate that ... So on behalf of the Pulp Magazine family whom work extremely hard to bring our loyal readers the very best in informative and entertaining content, I'm very delighted to have you Mirell and it was truly my pleasure to interview and write about you! I hope that this interview will be the first of many with us and other magazines during your truly illustrious modeling career.

MIrell: Dear Andrew, I am so so impressed by the amazing research you have done about me, and the amazing research you have done about Norway and norwegian culture; that really really impressed me. It is an honour for me to be featured in Pulp Magazine, and to work with such an educated and well written journalist like yourself; it is simply a pleasure!

Andrew: No great journey toward our desired destination in life is accomplished solely by ourselves, so talk a bit about the people in your life who have and continue to support you throughout your illustrious career, and as you continue to make your indelible mark on the sands of time.

MIrell: My family, they have been there constantly for me, I would never ever have accomplished what I have done without them. They have kept me down to earth and focused. Their support and love is the biggest gift anyone can ask for. They have always respected my ambitions and goals. The importance of great colleagues, my agent and photographers are also such a fantastic thing. I have met some wonderful, talented and fantastic people. The other models, they are all so sweet and fun to be with :-)

Andrew: How and why did you get into the entertainment industry and what is it about it that captivates your mind and stimulates your creative imagination.

MIrell: Like you wrote before, I was probably the last person in the world to even think about a career as a model. I was the girl who never got invited to parties, the girl who only talked about politics, the environment and spent all my time on horses, and playing tennis and other sports. I had never shaved my legs or worn make up, let alone walking in high heels! So one day when I was 15 I was in a news stand looking for a tennis magazine, when this beautiful woman walked up to me and asked me if I was a model...... Ha ha, I thought it was a joke- me, a model? Never! However she asked me to do a test-shoot for her, and a few weeks later I was on a plane to Milan ... Swapping the tennis court for the Catwalk - it was a very surreal experience! However, I fell in love with this world instantly; it was so glamourous, so busy, so crazy and amazing. There is never one day that is similar to the next, every day is different, a new country, a new city, new photographers, and new locations. This is what I love; its like creating a new piece of art every day :-)

Andrew: Being convinced to pursue a career in modeling is one thing, but actually believing that you possess the requisite talent, focus and drive to succeed in a very tough, unforgiving business is quite another. When did you actually believe that you possessed the requisite intangible qualities and characteristics to make it in the entertainment industry as a model?

MIrell: I believe the first thing you learn in this industry is that to get anywhere you have to WORK HARD! Nothing comes for free. You have to be patient and be able to always be in a good mood, and treat everybody around you with respect. It is such a team effort, and all the the magic happens from the chemistry between the model, the photographer, the designer, stylist and the make up artist ... if one person is in a bad mood, or someone is creating a bad atmosphere the whole picture can get ruined. To keep this magic is probably the most important thing to have a long career in this world. I always tell new models that to become successful its 80 % personality and 20 % looks! To be able to give the client the look he or she wants, to share the client’s vision of the finished product. I still have to work with this everyday, but I try to always be filled with energy, creativity and to be happy when I am at work. I am also a good networker, and I have a good sense for business. If you start behaving too much like a diva or stick your nose to high in the sky you can have a very short lived career. You are selling yourself, and that is quite a challenge! One day the casting agents will tell you that you are too tall, one day you are too short, the next too thin, too blond, too dark, too fat, too beautiful, too glamourous or too whatever. As a model it’s very important to make yourself unique and trust that your uniqueness will sell; don’t try to be like everybody else. And at last I loooooove my work, I love waking up and knowing that I m going to create something fantastic :-) I always say ... you are never better than your last shoot :-)

Andrew: What experience do you value more and attain more personal satisfaction from as a model: the creative process behind an intimate collaboration with a talented photographer, make-up artist and/or designer OR seeing the reaction from your family, friends and fans as they bare witness to the finished product?

MIrell: There is a genuine mix between both of these. The process behind the picture is an amazing transformation, and the magic of everybody’s teamwork, and that is why I am so damn proud when I see the end result; it’s like all the efforts of all is coming together in one great master piece :-)

Andrew: Wayne W. Dyer is quoted as saying, “When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.” As you dance your way through the entertainment industry, what has been some of the steps that you enjoyed along the way thus far?

MIrell: I adore that quote! This is just what life is all about; enjoying the way to the goal! Loving each breath of your life, taste each second and embrace all challenges. I am so grateful for all the things I have experienced in my life; all the amazing places I have travelled, the talented and fantastic people I have met, and to see how one door opening leads to another door. I believe life is truly about making your dreams come true; never ever settle for second best if it does not please you. It is one fairy tale, and it’s all real! One day I’m backstage with Elton John, the next moment I’m in a film studio making a film scene, and then I’m flying in a private Jet to Bora Bora to go sailing on one of the biggest boats in the world. Every step is a part of the dance, some steps more complicated than others but all together they make the most breathtaking dance anyone has seen :-)

Andrew: You have a refined, voluptuous physique Mirell that is always accentuated by your artistic poses within your prepossessing photographs, so I'm curious to know what does your diet and exercise regimen consist of?

MIrell: My body changed from being a 38 kg and 177 cm tall fashion model on the catwalk in Milan to what I today think is my best physique ever. I work out almost everyday simply out of the love for movement; that being horse riding, fitness, running, hunting, sailing or a game of tennis. I have been a vegetarian since I was 14, so I avoid meat, fish and try to eat a very healthy all around diet, however, I love spoiling myself with good chocolate and ice cream :-)

Andrew: Why do you think that some models enter the entertainment industry, attain their 15 minutes of fame and than vanish without a trace, but others such as world renowned models like Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks, Christy Turlington, Kimora Lee, and lesser known models such as Kim Loan and Dawn Rochelle are capable of transforming their early success as a model into a long lasting, successful career within the entertainment industry as business women?

MIrell: I believe I touched on some of these subjects previously but to stay in this industry it takes something special. I have a lot of model friends who were very successful for 1 or 2 years, and then like you say, vanished completely. They went back to school, got married or simply just decided that the industry was not for them. Many models stay for years in the industry and make very good money, but you might never have heard their name mentioned as they enjoy their privacy. Being a model and being a model celebrity are two very different things.

Personally I have always focused on becoming independent and moving my career to new levels. From being a no-name skinny model on the catwalk to becoming a name and a brand. Today it is my name that I’m selling; it’s Mirell Victoria the person and personality, not just a model :-) It’s a full-time job and my life is now public. People wonder what I’m eating, where I travel, what clothes I wear, what my opinion is on different subjects etc. This is my business and this is my company; the brand and personality of MIrell Victoria .-)

Andrew: Do you place any limitations on yourself in terms of what you will and will not do in this industry to succeed, or do you have a ‘by any means
necessary I will get mine in the 21st century’ attitude?

MIrell: With having a name in the industry you also have some privileges and responsibility, and I try to put my name and model work toward as much good cases as possible such as funding campaigns against HIV/AIDS, child labour and the protection of animals. I would never do a campaign wearing real Fur or promote cigarettes. I also try to be a good ambassador for new models. Your network is everything in this industry, and if you hang with people who party too much, do drugs, sleep around etc. you will ruin both your name and your business. I always try try stay away from those things.

Andrew: My no limit credit card slips out of my pocket and magically appears in your hands as I finish this interview with you; what do you buy before I find out that it's missing?!!! [I know in real life you would have returned my card!]

MIrell: Ha, ha, I hope it is a black Amercian express ;-D Of course I would have returned it to you, but if I could go on a guilt free spending spree then I would rush over to Harry Winston to buy some amazing jewelry, then off to the travel agent for a super first class ticket on Emirates airways to Dubai, and then I’ll invest a few bucks on FX, CFDs and a bit of Oil futures ;-))) Ha Ha,

Andrew: What is your ideal exotic getaway?

MIrell: I love sailing and hunting, sailing and diving in the French Polynesia, and then off to the amazing national parks in Tanzania and Zanzibar, then horse riding safari through Kruger in South Africa, Just bliss :-)

Andrew: What sort of qualities in a man do you look for and really turn you on?

MIrell: Good Manners! Manners are sooooo important! He has to be ambitious, intelligent, fun loving, classy, elegant, filled with drive and in love with life. A true romantic and with kisses so soft and sweet they make me tingle all over ... a man that really wipes me off my feet ... hi hi do I need to go on ;-D

Andrew: What is your favorite food?

MIrell: I loooooove dining and wining, Strawberries and Crystal. Japanese, Lebanese, Greek and Italian in top class, or just a good glass of Brunello and cooking a big italian pasta at home for friends. Food is art, and I love tasting and feeling great food.

Andrew: Name one of your addictions? (Something that you can't do without)

MIrell: Just ONE??? I got so many ha ha. Mmmmm a big kiss in the morning, the seaside, my family, my lip gloss, my notebook, my camera. I always take pictures ... my job, my fans, my fake tan, lingerie, sexy bikinis, perfume, books ... ops did you say just One hi hi :-) I would be hopeless on a deserted island; thats for sure ha ha !

Andrew: What is your favorite word to cuss with when your really upset?

MIrell: I normally try to watch my language and speak well, however, I can be damn bad at swearing when I get upset ... the F-word is something you can hear for sure!

Andrew: What is your favorite part of the female and male anatomy?

MIrell: Mmtmm for a woman I would say the legs, and for a man I would say his smile.

Andrew: If you were a super heroine what super powers would you want: super speed, super strength, X-ray vision, invisibility, the ability to read minds or the ability to fly?!

MIrell: Most definitely I would love to FLY!!! It’s something I have always dreamt about :-)

Andrew: What is your favorite column in Pulp Magazine?

MIrell: I love your business column. Loved your last one on inside trading and derivatives. the podcast are also great, and of course I love the Rogue Angels :-)))) Love it all actually, nothing better than to browse around on Pulp Magazine on a Sunday afternoon.

Andrew: What does sex appeal and beauty mean to you? Is it a state of mind and attitude (mental/intellectual), physical perfection as defined by society, or being born with the right set of physical attributes that get the teenage boys' hormones into a frenzy?

MIrell: Mmmm beauty is definitely about chemistry, charm and personality. Some people just ooze sex whilst others are just soooo cute or so damn perfectly beautiful. However, the perfect beauty is not always sexy and the sexy is not always perfectly beautiful ... ohhhh did that make sense or did I just confuse you more :-D

Andrew: What is beautiful about yourself?

MIrell: Mmmmm again that depends on who sees me. I’m sure my mom would say my eyes whilst a man would say my body or something similar ... I hope it’s a good combination of looks and personality :-)

Andrew: If you had to change one thing about yourself what would it be?

MIrell: My patience ... I’m just the most impatient person there is ... I cannot wait for anything. If I want something, then I wanted it yesterday :-)

Andrew: For all of the people, photographers, agencies and companies seeing you for the first time who will want to gain more information about you, tell them where they can go to see and read about some of your past, present and future projects?

MIrell: Ha ha I think you did a fantastic good summary of me here in Pulp Mag! Tune in to my website at www.mirell.com and my blog that is updated daily at www.mirell.blogg.no. I also do financial news updates on my website, so make sure you tune in !

Andrew: William Faulkner is quoted as saying, "The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move." When your profoundly beautiful pictures move again in the mind's eye of people a hundred years later
Mirell, what do you think they'll say?

MIrell: To be an idol and inspire people is one of the most fantastic things in life, and my biggest hope is that I can inspire people to follow their dreams and ambitions, and maybe even be able to change some peoples’ life with my work.
Andrew: Thank you Mirell for doing this interview with Pulp Magazine and I! We wish you all of the best in your future endeavors, and we look forward to hearing about your success in the media as a model and as a singer/songwriter. We would love to have you back anytime!

MIrell: Thank you so so so much for having me, and for the amazing articles in Pulp Magazine. I must say you must be one of the most thoughtful writers I have ever worked with, I loooove it :-) Keep up the success and inspire people with your fantastic writing. And to all of you reading the article, thank you sooooo much!!!
