Taylor Lashae is woman with many tricks up her sleeve, or as she likes to
describe herself: "a
universe of unworldly paradoxes." After
stumbling across her unique beauty through photographer, Colleen O'Brien's
Instagram, I fell in love with her unique charm and beauty. Lashae has been
featured in Luke LuCurcio short
film, "Je T'adore", styled Juan Carlos De Leon's photo shoots, models and is
a photographer herself. She immediately agreed to an interview, and
graciously took time out of her visiting Houston, her hometown, to talk with me
for about fashion, film and the future.

Tell us about your beginnings in the creative
world. What/who influenced you to get into acting?
I actually started acting
by accident! I had always been intrigued with the industry and worked as an
agent for multiple modeling agencies in NYC. I was sent by a casting director
to a music video audition, made it, had a great time, and became really great
friends with the director who then casted me as a lead in his latest feature
film and short films following! Ever since I have been so involved and in love
with acting.
What keeps your intrigue in both the fashion
and film worlds?
It’s the same as we people are intrigued with fine dining, or
great cinema. It’s a certain taste people like to build their individuality
through. I love how expressive this art is. In my case I get to mix the two and
its better than a dream come true. It never gets old.
What type of setting causes you to get into a photo
shoot whether you're photographing or modeling?
I love period pieces.
Anything that brings me back to the past or shoot me 200 years into the future.
A shoot that is based around a specific time.

You seem to
have such a thirst for life and creation, and we can definitely see that you
mix your individuality with many different undertones. What are your favorite
things to do on your down time?
To be
honest, haha when I get a moment. I like to order pad Thai with my boy and
watch films. All day long. All types of movies. Preferably in a marathon
manner ;)
I'm sure those movies find a way to inspire you
while giving you a chance to relax. Is there anyone that would be a dream come
true to work with?
Oh, there are so many amazing actors and actresses I would just love to work with. Matthew McConaughey would be a dream to just watch get into these characters like he does. He is brilliant. Would be outrageous to see in person. Another one I would love to work with is actress Brit Marling. I have seen her movies she has written and starred in and she is something special. A real genius talent.
Do you plan on writing your screenplays one
day?
That’s a loaded question.
I can totally see myself writing one day but not anytime soon!

You have my support! That would be great to see
sometime down the line! What do you have panned for the near future?
I am
shooting a T.V. pilot in the next month or so! Pretty exciting about really
getting to know a progressive character and jumping on that project!
Wow Congratulations! When should we be in the lookout
for it?
Aw thank you! And I have
no idea! I haven’t even peeked at the script yet! Once I know.. I’ll let you
know ;)
Thank you for taking the time to chat with us!
What would your closing words be to inspire and encourage budding artists?
Be determined. Don’t let
anyone tell you no… without a fight.
