Johanna Halle in “Rogue Angels”
The Sweet Pitch of Her Siren
By Andrew Rudder for PulpMag.net ~ andrew@pulpmag.net

Look from atop the summit of the prodigious Scandinavian mountain chain of Skanderna,
Throughout the eastern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula from Norway to the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia,

From the northernmost Swedish town of Kiruna right down the long coastline to the southernmost province of Scania,
Within the town of the Turning Torso, Öresundsbridge and spectacular parks in Malmoe Sweden,

And you’ll find a winsome woman of all seasons named Johanna Halle with an acute sense of fashion,
Who like a seductive call to an enchanted garden draws in the masses to the sweet pitch of her enticing siren,

A woman who continues to evolve and has pushed through the cut-throat modeling industry thus far virtually unscarred,
Never settling for nothing less than the best and constantly pressing forward with the experimental spirit of the modernist vanguard,

More than just a prepossessing model with a professional attitude toward the art of modeling who is so, so focused,
This sexy lady from the land of the Turning Torso is also a special teacher and an aspiring sexologist,

Which means she has the tantalizing Torso to Turn heads and the MIND to teach you ‘wussy yes-man’ a lesson in verbally escalating sexual tension,
A lesson in transmitting your message on a frequency without knowing what the signal is; speaking the secret language of sexual communication,

A lesson in anticipation ... teasing a woman ... like not immediately accepting a kiss,
Johanna’s modeling career thus far is a lesson taught by Bill Hicks in anticipating the next big ride like there is no tomorrow and it all comes down to this,
So when that definitive moment comes that will be the highlight of her career you damn well better believe that she will not miss ...

Johanna Halle in “Rogue Angels”
Rogue Angels Interview
By Andrew Rudder for Pulpmag.net ~ andrew@pulpmag.net

Andrew: It's with great pleasure that I introduce to you an aspiring sexologist ... who just happens to be a damn good, prepossessing professional model who never hesitates to passionately push the unexplored boundaries of creativity and ingenuity within the realm of modeling and photography named Johanna Halle. Johanna is from Malmoe, Sweden, “The town of the Turning Torso, Öresundsbridge and the lovely parks:)”.

Johanna is a very focused and driven lady who prides herself on making the right career choices, always bringing the right professional attitude towards modeling, and perceiving modeling as an art form, while maintaining her mental distance from it and not looking at fame and fortune as a ‘life or death’ issue. So what’s her philosophy in life? “Okay, we’re going for the deep stuff already, haha. As Bill Hicks once said, "Life’s just a ride". I like that attitude towards life so I guess that would be my philosophy in life.”

Johanna has been enjoying that undulating roller-coaster ride in modeling thus far where she just tries to have a ton of fun pursuing something she loves while collaborating with some of the most creative and talented photographers and make-up artists who embody the experimental spirit of the modernist vanguard and who have their eye focused on constantly pushing the creative envelope in every creative endeavor, which has enabled this alluring model from Malmoe to hone her craft over the years and progressively move toward the upper echelons of the modeling industry. So what are some of the highlights from her illustrious career thus far traveling around the world on assignment, “Many different things. My covers, the movies I have been participating in and some of the people I have been working with. But I´m still waiting for that definite moment that will be the highlight of my career.”

So what does this ravishing swedish beauty love to do when she is not blessing the photographers’ camera lens and gracing the pages of magazines with the resounding presence of her prepossessing pulchritude!?! “I love to dance, workout, listen to music and I have a big interest in movies and theatre. I also have an exam in sexology and would really appreciate it if I could work with questions regarding sex. So ask me anything about sex and I´ll give you a great answer!”

And other aspects of the entertainment industry that she’s interested? “I would really like to work more as an actress. I took theatre lessons for many years when I was younger and I hope it will pay off very soon.”

And what about after her illustrious modeling career? “I have a good education already.
I am a special teacher and as I told you I have an exam in sexology. I would like to work with teenagers and young grown ups with those kind of questions.”

Johanna 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 Johanna and it will truly be my pleasure interviewing you! I hope that this interview will be the first of many with us and other magazines during your illustrious modeling career. So without further adieu let's get this interview started ...

Johanna: Thank you Mr Rudder. I’m very glad to be a part of your magazine.

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.

Johanna: My family and my best friends have been very supporting; they are all invaluable to me. Although they have not always understood why I wanted to work in this field but I’ve always felt their support regardless of what choices I have taken.

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?

Johanna: I acted a lot when I was a kid in a local theatre group in Malmoe. It was very fun and I met so many different people and learned so much about myself. So my goal at first was to become an actress. Unfortunately this theatre group ended when I was 17, and I did not do anything about it. But one day when I was eighteen a man came towards me when I was walking in the city of Malmoe and asked me if I wanted to be a model. It turns out that he was one of the most professional photographers in Malmoe, who had been working all over the world, and he took my first modeling pictures. Since then things started rolling and now I´m here with you, Andrew.

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? 

Johanna: I do not see it like that because the entertainment business is not a life or death issue for me. I do know that it is a very tough and unforgiving business and that is why I keep a mental distance from it. But to answer your question, I got plenty of self confidence when I was 18 and I was approached by that photographer.

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? 

Johanna: I would say the creative process together with a talented photographer. I can spend hours preparing for a photo shoot looking for inspiring photos and such, so of course it is satisfying when that kind of preparation results in a successful and creative teamwork with a photographer.

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? 

Johanna: Hmm, he sure is a clever fella that Wayne W. Dyer, haha. As I said before I believe that I still haven´t experience the highlight of my career. The things I have enjoyed so far is all the professional and talented people I have met such as the photographers, directors, producers that I have worked with, which have all enabled me to evolve as a model. Furthermore, I have visited places around the world that I would never have travelled to if I wouldn’t have worked in the modeling business. It is those small and happy memories you remember the most, and I got plenty of those during my modeling career.

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

Johanna: Haha, thank you for noticing. Finally all those sweaty hours at the gym have paid off. I started to work out a lot when I was 21. As a model it is very important to work out and take good care of your body. It’s not enough to be thin, you also need to have a good physique to be able to spend hours in front of the camera posing and still keep that focus. I can share my best work out tip for all the models out there who are worrying about their endurance before a photo shoot - get a good night´s sleep the night before. That´ll work for you - I promise.

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? 

Johanna: I believe many women in this industry have quite an unprofessional attitude towards the modeling industry. They are only after the glamourous celebrity life and really do not care about the work itself. In other words, the thing that differentiates Tyra and Cindy from lesser known models is their professional attitude towards modeling as an art form, and their ability to make the right career choices. So if you have your breakthrough, be sure to have a good advisor.

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? 

Johanna: Of course I have my limitations, everyone should. First of all I don’t care about being famous, and with that attitude you reduce the risks of doing something that you will regret in the future. I love to work in the modeling industry simply because it's fun and because it is evolving.

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!] 

Johanna: I'm a very honest person so of course I would give back your card only if it was just a dream. Or maybe not, it depends on what credit you have on it. Anyway I would book a flight to Las Vegas, rent a pink Cadillac and just cruise through the Nevada desert singing to "Sweet Child Of Mine" over and over again.

Andrew: If I was accompanying you to a photoshoot from Malmö to Stockholm, what albums would I definitely be listening to in the car on the trip there? 

Johanna: That depends on what mood you are in. I love Madonna but I also love rock music like Metallica, Kiss and Guns n’ Roses. The only music I don’t like is hip hop. That will never be played in my car.

What is your ideal exotic getaway? 

Johanna: Mallorca in the Mediterranean. Maybe not that exotic, but I love that place. Also the west coast of Sweden in the summer. My grandpa was from Kungshamn so I spent my summers there when I was a kid.

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

Johanna: A man with a brain, and a good sense of humour and charm.
What is your favorite food?

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

Johanna: Love, Sex and chocolate (unfortunately I can only eat very dark chocolate because I’m a Laktosintolerans (Lactose intolerance). The only three things that give me pure satisfaction. Although I find a nice pair of shoes quite satisfying as well.

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?!

Johanna: I think I would choose something that is not so obvious, so the ability to read minds would probably be the best choice. Imagine the opportunities, I could rule the world with that ability. That would suit me!

Andrew: What is your favorite column in Pulp Magazine?

Johanna: The “Rogue Angels” column.

Andrew: I’m going to say a few words and tell me what immediately
comes to your mind.

Andrew: Dreams

Johanna: White clouds 

Andrew: Change

Johanna: Different

Andrew: Fame and Fortune

Johanna: I´d rather have peace and quiet.

Andrew: The Journey

Johanna: Don´t stop believing.

Andrew: Success

Johanna: Happiness and quality of life.

Andrew: The Destination

Johanna: Exciting

Andrew: What is your favorite word?

Johanna: Mum and Love

Andrew: What is your least favorite word?

Johanna: There’s too many of them

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

Johanna: I always say the typical swedish curse words that are "Fan" och "Jävla". 

Andrew: What is your favorite part of the female and male anatomy?
Johanna The butt.

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?

Johanna: Sex appeal is about the willingness to hump another human being because of his or her physical perfection. Haha, just kidding. Of course it is a state of mind, a mental connection between two people that awakens the whole spectra of feelings, all the way from anger to love. When you’ve reached that stage, the true sense of sex appeal and beauty begins.

Andrew: What is beautiful about yourself?

Johanna: My temper and my sense of humour; that´s what makes me sparkle.

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

Johanna: Nothing, if I change anything it wouldn't be me anymore.

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? 

Johanna They should visit me on my homepage @ www.johannahalle.com.

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 Johanna, what do you think they'll say?

Johanna: Well, let’s find out in 2110. I hope you will do a new interview with me then:)
Andrew: Thank you Johanna 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 in all of your other ventures. We would love to have you back anytime!
