Photo Gallery Follows the Text

Alysha Nett checks in with us as often as her busy schedule will allow to give her insight on modeling,tattoos and art. She even throws in a recipe from time to time. Alysha always makes sure to include plenty of sexy pictures of her exploits, so check back often to see what she’s been up to.

Hello readers! I’ve been having so much fun taking pictures of babes for this blog and want to thank y’all for giving me an excuse to do it! It is so much fun thinking of an idea, and then making that idea come to life. I’ve been flipping through an old “country girls” Playboy a lot recently so I thought it would be fun to do my own take on it. I can’t be the model for EVERY idea i have, so instead, I dressed up my pervy friend Shelby and took some photos. I hope you like the results!

Inked world, meet Shelby. Learn about her blog Perv on the Go, and follow her on social media to keep up with her work!

How long have you lived in LA?
I moved to Los Angeles almost 6 years ago, when I had just turned 18. Seems like an eternity (laughs). I’m from Idaho originally.

What do you love about living in LA?
I love that you can be whoever you want to be and all of the creative freedoms that come with that. It’s inspiring to be around such freethinking, driven individuals and I’m very grateful for my peers as well as their support.

What are some different jobs you’ve had since living out here?
I’ve had the opportunity to work with some incredibly talented artists/businesses during my stay in LA. My favorites have been working at this super QT vintage store downtown called Virgo, assisting celebrity stylists (and getting to work on their music videos!), writing for BULLETT Media and contributing to FRANK 151, all of my freelance photography/journalist gigs, and working for myself (being a blogger at Perv On The Go ^_^).

You have a great blog, Perv On The Go, can you explain a little about it? Where/how did it originate?
Perv On The Go is an outlet for people of all ages to participate in what has been an ongoing social experiment focusing on experiences in love, sex, and relationships. My ultimate goal is to liberate sexual prowess and free the body and mind. By taking these issues head on, I believe we can eliminate the taboo that lingers around these social norms. I launched the blog almost 2 years ago. I’ve always been interested in people and what makes them tick… sexual encounters are a subset category that have always provoked my interest. Some of the stories I hear are out of control… hahaha.

Were you already taking photos before you started blogging?
Actually, no. I’ve always carried around disposables (since I was a little dorky kid) but never really thought anything of it. I began taking pictures to add as a visual component to the interviews. It’s so hard to hold an audience’s attention nowadays. Taking photos has opened up another creative outlet for me to express myself and leave my mark on my work.

Do you feel different being in front of the camera as opposed to behind?
Oh my goodness, yes! Being behind the camera is very natural for me. Once I’m in front of the camera I clam up and freeze haha. I never know what to do with my hands or mouth! LOL. Recently, I’ve been trying to step in front of the camera more to shake my shyness and unlock my swag.

Your blog is pretty sexual, sex being the main topic. Do you ever feel uncomfortable asking people about their personal life and experiences?Nope, no shame in my game :).

You have some really cool tattoo choices. When did you get your first one?
I got my first one when I was 17 and it’s a giant tree on my back. Go big or go home!

And which is your most recent?
My most recent tattoo is a set, one says “cry baby” inside of the outline of a heart and the other says “pervert” inside of the outline of an upside down heart (looks like a butt hehe).

Who does your work and at what shop?
Roger Seliner over at Kingswell in Los Feliz is the absolute BEST!

Do you have any pieces you want to get done soon?
Yes, I’ve been dying to get a piece of a girl crying haha. Also, a hand of cards that spells out ‘LOSER’.

I know you’ve been DJing some lately. What are your 5 favorite songs to play?
Right now I’m really into:
– Anything by The Weeknd
– Rae Sremmurd – Unlock The Swag
– Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams – Let’s Get Blown
– Suff Daddy – Suff Gucci
– Danny Brown – I Will (suicideyear remixxxx)

Any projects you are currently working on/promoting?
I’m in a group show, Vexed, on June 5th. Other than that, I’m constantly updating my blog with new interviews, photo sets, videos, think pieces, collabs, mixtapes, and more!! 🙂
