>> Abbey Lee Kershaw on Working with Terry Richardson —Abbey Lee Kershaw won't talk about rumors of a relationship with Freja Beha Erichsen, but she will say that she "didn't have to act that much" for a sex-inspired Terry Richardson shot with Freja for Purple Fashion. "Terry doesn’t force girls to do anything they don’t want to. He puts you in a G-string in a pile of mud because you want to do it. You touch yourself because you want to.

I don’t call myself bisexual: I’m just experimental. I was always looking for somebody to sweep me off my feet, but then I got bored after two months and was on to the next.” [Times UK]
